I have found that I love the boys that I bring to the hotel with me as well. I have also found that my time in Brazil is often remembered not by the quickies in the saunas but in the longer term guys at the hotel. The same in True in Thailand. The same is true in Montreal. I like both the gogo scene in Thailand and the sauna scene in Brazil. But, the gogo bar scene in USA is boring to me. I also love spending time in the massage places in Thailand and I perhaps prefer that to any of the above. But, none of the give me the memories as the guys that stay with me longer times.

Just not true!!! But again it depends what you like. Way more choice in Thailand and Hotels, restaurants etc way less money. Many of us don't like Saunas. I prefer to see the boys on stage and go on a street where there are 15- 20 GoGo Bars where the boys are on display. None of this 20-30 minute stuff in a Cabin the size of a jail cell but a relaxing couple of hours for the same price in my Hotel Room that costs a fraction of the same Hotel in Brazil where your favorite boys are not welcome. Just my opinion.

I do think it all depends on what you think is hot. I love my Thai boys but I also love the Brazilians. They are totally different beasts. Thailand boys are smoother and often a bit more fem. Brazil boys are a lot rougher around the edges and tend to be a bit more aggressive in bed. I like them both. But, I also like my Montreal guys. They were more pricy and whiter but they were fun and gave me some good memories. We all have such different tastes but that is why they make Lurker's 31 flavors.

Most guys of our persuasion, who visit Brazil, quickly learn that Brazil is the place "where the hottest guys are!" It is easy to get "hooked" on Brazil and extremely difficult to stay away. There really is no other place in the world like it.

For Adam Smith... https://www.yahoo.com/tv/monty-python-celebration-tribeca-film-festival-117274662055.html Monty Python' Cast Assembles in New York, Indulges Questions About Their Favorite Sketches Ethan AlterWriter April 24, 2015 Forty-six years after the debut of their groundbreaking sketch comedy series, Monty Python’s Flying Circus; 40 years after the premiere of their beloved film Monty Python and the Holy Grail; and one year after their most recent (and probably final) reunion show at London’s O2 arena, the surviving members of Monty Python assembled in New York for the Tribeca Film Festival’s “Monty Python Celebration.” The line-up of the event includes screenings of all three of the troupe’s feature films (Holy Grail, Life of Brian and The Meaning of Life) as well as the American premiere of The Meaning of Live, a documentary taking viewers behind the scenes of the 2014 reunion show. Yahoo TV was in the audience as Eric Idle, John Cleese, Michael Palin, Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam met the press to discuss the halcyon days of Flying Circus, which modern comedians get their seal of approval and their all-time favorite Python sketch. Flying Circus Got Off to a Less Than Flying Start According to the Pythons, their groundbreaking sketch comedy show happened more or less by accident. They approached the BBC saying they wanted to collaborate on a series, but when the network asked what they wanted to do, they couldn’t articulate it. Rather than toss them out, though, the Beeb wound up handing the troupe a show, a time-slot and almost total creative freedom. “We were very lucky,” says Gilliam. “There were no executives over us, so we got to do what we wanted to do. And we were a big enough gang, we could beat up any of the executives.” But the suits still made their feelings known. “There were other people who just hated it,” Cleese remembers. “I think 7 out of 9 of the executives didn’t like it.” Funnily enough, the Pythons themselves occasionally agreed. “There was no perfect episode of the series,” Cleese remarks. “I think episode number 11 or 12 of the first series was the nearest we got. There’s always something in there that’s hilarious, and something that’s awful.” Palin credits Cleese’s then-wife, Connie Booth, with helping encourage audience laughter during that first year. “If she hadn’t been in the studio audience, we wouldn’t have gotten any laughs.” Idle suggests that the lack of laughs had to do with the audience’s expectations. “They thought they were going to see a circus because it was sold as Monty Python’s Flying Circus.” That confusion crossed borders. “The first sale of the series to a foreign country was to Pakistan,” Palin says. “They wrote back saying ‘There are no jugglers, no acrobats.’ They thought they’d bought a circus! The BBC had to refund the money.” There Was No “I” In Team During their heyday, Python prided itself on the way they worked separately, and then came together, rather than writing every sketch in a big scrum. “There were groups,” Idle explains. “Michael and Terry Jones, John and Graham, and I wrote alone and Terry Gilliam did his sketches. Then we’d meet at Terry Jones’s house and went through the pile of material we spent two to three weeks writing. If it was funny, we put it in the show. If it wasn’t, we’d sell it to The Two Ronnies!” (For those not up to date on ‘70s British comedy, The Two Ronnies was a comedy show that’s the antithesis of Flying Circus.) Cleese elaborated on the point, saying “Michael and Terry were interested in the flow of the show, while Graham and I were just interested in writing funny sketches. That’s what made the team work. People always forget that a team works best when people do completely different things and have different strengths and weaknesses.” Their Favorite American Comedians Right Now are (Fake) Newsman When asked which comedians and comedy series they thought had some of the Python spirit, the group named Eddie Izzard, Steve Coogan and Key & Peele amongst others. But Idle lavished his biggest praise upon Comedy Central’s outgoing news team. “What’s interesting about America in the last few decades is that all of your news is funny now. Like Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. What are you going to do now that they’re gone? And Just as the Republicans are coming back! That’s not a good idea.” Contrary to Tabloid Reports, The Pythons Don’t Hate Each Other The British tabloids — particularly Cleese’s least favorite paper, the Daily Mail — love to portray the comedy veterans as enemies, but all five hastened to say that’s a misreading of the facts. “We hate the Daily Mail slightly more than we hate each other,” Palin joked. Gilliam added, “We take the piss out of each other all the time, and it used to make people laugh. It doesn’t anymore — now people take it seriously.” Cleese remembered that, back in the day, “There was a lot of arguing, but it was always about the material. The British press writes this stuff about everyone. They ran a story about a time that Michael and I went to the same restaurant by accident and we sat at separate tables. As a joke, I sent him half a bottle of sparkling mineral water, and he sent me a salt shaker. And they wrote it as if we were being competitive!” They Unanimously Pick the Fish Slapping Dance as the Best-Ever Flying Circus Sketch Everyone has their favorite Python routine — the Lumberjack song, the Cheese Shop skit and, of course, the Dead Parrot sketch. But all five members of the group agree on one thing: the actual best-ever skit is the Fish Slapping Dance, a wordless, 20-second bit where Palin repeatedly slapped Cleese on the face with a pair of small fish. According to Idle, when the individual group members had to pick their own favorite sketches for their personal “Best of Flying Circus” lists, that was the only skit that overlapped across all five lists. Palin summed up the sketch’s appeal succinctly: “It’s short and can’t be deconstructed.” The Monty Python Celebration at Tribeca Film Festival runs April 24 to 26 in New York City.

Eau de goat poo, fear sweat and piss. Trust AS to sniff out this one.

This is an interesting question - let me try to give my perspective. Let's say money is not the driving factor because after the flight, the hotel, eating out, a case could be made for staying home and looking around rb or romeo. For me it is not that the European Brazilian is a rare breed in terms of color, it is that you get a uniquely Brazilian blend of masculinity and accessibility that is much harder - though admittedly not impossible - to find in the U.S. or Europe. In the U.S. the rentboys come in all shapes and colors too, but the demeanor of many rentboys tends towards the gay edge of the spectrum, at least in terms of how they self-identify. This is a stereotype frought with all the dangers and problems that come with stereotypes, I realize that. But, in Brazil, you are often laying down or standing up or kneeling or straddling a guy who thinks and for all intents and purposes is straight. There is a stolen fantasy quality to this that is hard to repeat elsewhere. You get the sense that you are with a man who, for a season, based on need or expediency, is willing to have sex with other men. But he plans on returning to his other life and you get a chance to screw around a bit before he does. I sometimes think of it as the secret straight crush that you spotted at the gym, in the shower, and in this case, you can follow through for not a lot of money or trouble. The second thing that is rather normal in Brazil and tougher to find in the U.S. is an absolute lack of judgement. What I mean here is that Brazilians care a lot how they are treated, spoken to. But how you look, how old you are, the extra pounds, they don't matter. You could be Cristiano Ronaldo or John Goodman - they treat you exactly the same and ask for the same R$. In Brazil, what you look like is not an issue. While this is also true of MANY rentboys in the U.S., in my limited experience, it is frankly much more so in Brazil. So, mix the reasonable prices, the abundance of options, the fantasy of sex with a straight guy, and remove judgement over size, age, wrinkles and hair - frankly whatever your race preference might be - it is probably better in Brazil than in many other places. Ceertainly better than in LA.

If at first you don't succeed: Try, try again: Too RA1?

For those who regularly visit Brazil, spending time with garotos is not limited to, as you said “this 20-30 minute stuff in a Cabin the size of a jail cell.” Typically, the time in a Brazilian cabine is one hour or more, not 20 or 30 minutes. If you find that you are compatible with a garoto, it is not uncommon to have that garoto visit you in your hotel and spend many hours with you or even spend the night or even days. It is also not uncommon to spend a lot of time with garotos sightseeing and other activities. Over the years, I have developed many friendships with garotos. Some garotos I have known for several years and we still keep in contact. Several, I have taken on trips to other cities within Brazil and to other cities, outside of Brazil. Other forum users have reported similar experiences and long-term relations with Brazilian garotos. Take for example, tomcal, who reports on this forum. I absolutely believe all that he reports. I believe this because I have had similar experiences with garotos. I have traveled to Thailand and found it very nice and entertaining. However, when I think of Thailand, I think of it as a nice place I visited a few times and enjoyed. When I think of Brazil, I think of it as a comfortable “second home” and a place where I have immeasurable enjoyment and where I can be myself away from the taboos that are still found in the U.S. and in so many parts of the world. If we all liked the same thing, how dull life would be.

You sure you woke up in NYC ????

Except, if he's in NYC, he's probably Holla -ing for $300, NOT a dolla......

Seriously, can we talk? These NYC boys sure can rock an outfit. Boots, pants, jacket, all hiding what MsAnn is guessing to be a rather fine specimen of a body. :drool:

tomcal, I know the muscle guy you mentioned above. I met him in SP a year ago. incredible time, fantastic guy. handsome as can be. for those who tend to bottom, a dream come true.

Penis sizes in various countries in the world, what an odd study. Most penis sizes shown in the chart are "self reported" which indicates possible (or probable) exaggeration on the part of the guy claiming penis size. Based on my personal observation and experience, together with having traveled to many of the countries shown in the chart, the reported sizes are highly exaggerated. "Self reporting" is akin to a lie detector machine with the electricity turned off. The chart supposedly reports size while soft (flaccid) and while hard (erect). Both results seem out of line. Take a look at this - http://survey.thebulgeproject.com/charts.php If anyone believe the reported result, please so indicate.

Actually, the study is little more than - poppycock (ˈpɒpɪˌkɒk) n 1. senseless chatter; nonsense [C19: from Dutch dialect pappekak, literally: soft excrement, from pap soft + kak dung; see pap1] Collins English Dictionary – Complete and Unabridged © HarperCollins Publishers 1991, 1994, 1998, 2000, 2003

The Funniest Joke (Killer Joke) sketch always slays me.

Alot does not jive with my experience and I agree the self reporting makings the results dubious at best. And is there considered a standard way of measuring so it is consistent? I also noticed and did not get past the flaccid of the US which had 10cm and when I toggled to inches it was 3inches. Well 3 inches is not 10cm so I lost all confidence in all numbers.

Hi hi, the rentboy's im the Netherlands all went to the internet. The biggest website is www.boys4u.nl. You can change the language to English and most adds are in English also! Have a good time in the Kingdom of the Netherlands

That's how I would be ihpguy...but judging by the pics that Tomcal posts, I would gladly, gladly take his castoffs. I should be so (lucky.) God rest his soul..figuratively speaking of course.
