However, I resolved this issue by downloading the app and using Apple Pay for the payment.Shotgun site Therefore, yes, I was able to make the purchase using the app available on the Apple App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/shotgun-live-music-experience/id760028892 That party appears to be quite lively, including the Blind Bottom set up. However, I’m not sure I’ll be able to do that since I’m a bit squeamish But Who knows but $32 bucks is a bargain the $100 reis doesn’t have all the VIp And this is the R$200 Hunhh? Well, enjoy. Quote

I will definitely be cautious when getting on it and when getting drinks. Usually, I get unopened bottled water or Red Bull. 2 hours ago, Connordrick said: and of course Lagoa every time i can.... I used to go to the bars/clubs after the saunas..... then I realized, any problems that I had in Brasil, all happened after midnight.

Since I've followed the most important rule, don't feed them after midnight..... nothing good ever happens after midnight, ask any cop or ER worker, since I've followed that rule, zero problems here.

Absolutely, it makes total sense to be cautious about hanging out with GPs or trying to hook up with straight guys outside a sauna after midnight. There are a few things to keep in mind. Those places for cruising are for gay men, and while they may not be outright dangerous, they can sometimes—often—be rude and unpleasant. I’m not too worried about safety, at least not in the physical sense. My bigger concern is that I might get too tired or even decide to leave because I’m exhausted. I’ve been to most of the gay cruising spots in São Paulo and Rio, and honestly, the experience was far less traumatic than anything I’ve encountered in the United States or other countries. *cough* Boy Bar in Barcelona—absolutely dreadful. So, if I can make it through Chill Hotel, which is like a Babel tower filled with sex and techno music, I’m sure I can handle anything else. I’m not sure if you’ve had the chance to visit, but I can tell you it’s not really a hotel in the traditional sense. I think they call it a hotel because it’s similar to our saunas here in the U.S., where you can rent a room with a bed. Other than that, it’s pretty wild, with sex everywhere and lots of jacuzzis. I’ll report back. Anyway, the São Paulo Pride parade on Avenida Paulista looks huge—it’s even bigger than the one here in NYC, and that one’s during the day! I’ll definitely be more careful there. I’m going with my usual group of friends that I’m used to going out with Quote

Yes, I remember. I always use Uber to get around, so I don’t wander off. In any of those places at night or day. In that one I’m with you, there’s nothing for me to do on the premises. As I did, when I went to Upgrade and Dedalos, which, by the way, is in a pretty sketchy area. I won’t ever stop being amazed at how Brazil has so many sex clubs and how comfortable they are with sex. I was watching some videos of previous events, and it is incredible how they enjoy the sex and nudity with no problems. Almost all the places having a party during Pride have live sex shows in front of everyone. So it will be an interesting experience to say the least. floridarob 1 Quote
floridarob Posted June 1 Posted June 1 After being able to select who you want at the GP saunas.... really hard to go back to gay for gay places, usually who I'm interested in isn't interested in me and vice versa. I've taken GP's to upgrade club so I'm guaranteed someone to be with that I like ... there's a guy that sits next to the urinal that's into golden showers and asks me, who I brought tonight... one time I had 2 guys and he wanted us all to go in to pee on him, to each his own 🤷♂️ Connordrick 1 Quote

Connordrick Posted Thursday at 12:10 AM Posted Thursday at 12:10 AM I found all the information I needed about this year's São Paulo Pride on this gay Brazilian YouTuber's channel. He has also made vlogs about cruising and gay life in different countries. Despite being Brazilian, he doesn’t mention or even suggest any information about GP not a big deal. I'll check the GPs myself,. Here’s the link: By the way, I’ll be in São Paulo next week. I can't wait to find out if GPs from other cities came to São Paulo for Pride! I’ll keep you posted.
