tymoniz Posted May 12 Posted May 12 Long time lurker and first time poster heading to SP, RJ and BH for the first time! I (32M) am really looking forward to embracing all that this beautiful country has to offer I'd sincerely appreciate any recommendations in addition to tried and true establishments (Lagoa, Olimpio etc.) Also, has anyone had any success meeting guys off of garotoscomlocale or skokka? OF? Looking forward to posting a trip report when I am back :) please feel free to DM me if you'd like to chat further :) mikeyrke 1 Quote
Popular Post KJ1993 Posted May 13 Popular Post Posted May 13 You'll love it! 3 states is a lot for a first trip. I'm also turning 32 later this year and will be returning for my birthday. Obviously Rio and SP is where the main action is, but I really had a blast in Salvador too. Some of the best sexual encounters of my life there. Depending on what floats your boat, but If you enjoy brown/black guys, athletic and hung then you're in for a treat. There was also a healthy selection of white GPs too. I spent most of my time networking in Club 11. How busy it is depends on the day, I can't remember the best day to go but I think it's during the week. SP, Rio and Salvador can all be very sketchy so usual safety precautions apply. Uber should be your best friend. I also use garotocomlocal here and there but again be careful. Not as safe as the sauna but I always stay in apartments with security in upper-middle class neighbourhoods. I usually get a good feel for the guy before going ahead. Do they have insta/socials/OFs etc, lots of reviews, lots of info on their profile etc? That's usually a good sign. Are they reasonably friendly and well spoken when texting or speaking on the phone, are they cultured and open minded, or do they sound dubious, like they're from the hood? Are they using favela slang? Are they obsessing over money and eager to close the deal etc? (nothing against guys from the hood just thinking about safety. Generally speaking I would only go for the hardcore favela gangsta type in the sauna, especially in Rio and Salvador). The saunas provide more than enough options for a first timer but garotocomlocal in my experience is generally reputable if you're sensible. However the risk is never zero, just bear that in mind. Never go to them, always bring them to you (motel/ apartment etc, put away all valuables, money, dangerous objects etc). I am semi-fluent in Brazilian portuguese now and that does help massively. bkkmfj2648, Latbear4blk, floridarob and 2 others 5 Quote

Also, not all opening days have GPs, but on those days, most patrons are hot though https://www.instagram.com/saunaolimpo.bh/ https://x.com/saunaolimpo_bh tymoniz 1 Quote

I'm pointing it out because I didn't even realize that area was there my first few visits. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Quote

Sorry, they spell it with an E at the end in Portuguese, so Clube 11. Their insta is @clube11 If you put 'Clube 11 sauna Salvador' into google you should find it ☺️ Quote

No. This has been discussed a few times. What came up for you is a different venue not that far away, as Google Maps is likely confounded by the fact that the street numbers where Clube 11 is located defy logic. Some lower number street addresses occur interspersed among higher numbers. Clube 11 is given the address #11 that should be near the Joana Angelica intersection but is actually situated further south around where #110 would logically be expected. That said, it’s less than 10 buildings south of Joana Angelica, as well as on the even number side, not the approximately 50 structures you’d expect based on a conventional staggered even number basis. To map search it you must enter its formal but logically incorrect address: Rua José Duarte, 11. Even then the venue name won’t come up in the same way some other establishments on that street are depicted. The address may have been assigned on a bingo night when the venue had a different name within a series of name changes and incorrect pins according to side of street. Let the countdown begin to the next eventual post querying location. Quote
bobgerm Posted May 17 Posted May 17 I think the sauna is across the street (Clube Masculino P11). Use Uber. Quote

Yes, the west side as depicted several times in this forum. That shot was not my search. It was how the club pinned it within its social media, illustrating how helpful they are when the location is ambiguous in the first place. bobgerm 1 Quote

The queries will never end ... In addition to the multiple names that might or might not be associated with this place, I see "Planetario" showing on your screen cap. Is this the sauna that's been around for at least a decade? I was staying in Pelourinho (not necessarily advised) and foolishly tried to walk to some sauna in this vicinity. It was the only time I got mugged in Brazil. The neighborhoods and conditions in Salvador change quickly and drastically. It's the only place in Brazil where I could not sense the change until it was too late. I was very rattled, but my dick was not: I still made it to the sauna that day and had a pretty good time. BTW, Google-Mapping "Clube Masculino P11" also brings up Clube Rio's for Men. Google seems to think everything gay is that place. Quote
gsurfer Posted Thursday at 05:10 PM Posted Thursday at 05:10 PM Thanks for sharing significant practical information. Do we need an ID to access the Suana Lagoa or similar Bit confused as reports on net days original Id is required and scanned Quote
