Also did you see that Rich Lawson admitted to making up stories about James Franco being a gay rapist when he was working for Gawker?

The escort is clearly insane. https://www.facebook.com/sexyderek2720?fref=ts&hc_location=ufi

The name is also spelled here as KAWA. There was a very hot garoto until recently at 117 from Belo Horizonte, tall with a.swimmer's build,shaved chest and enormous penis, 24 or so, named THAWAAN. I find even more interesting all of the variations on Thiago. Tiago Hiago Diego Diogo biblical origins from Iakove, Yakov, Iago in Merchant of Venice

i was there thursday, and had a blast. you must follow all of tomcals words of wisdom, and have some fun... read everything he has written and you will. of course the boys saw you as a new gringo... and asked for 300, but what did you ask them... or tell them... in my past 6 weeks here, none have ever said 300 to me. normal is 100 with everything, if you pay more that is your own choice, trust me the difference between 100 and 150 to us is not that much, and if that is their mark up to gringos, go with it. but at 300 i hope you said no, and walked away... the trick i find, is to tell them by writing in the palm of your hand 100. they will then add 100, you shake your head no, try 120 or 150, if they still say 200 just say no abligato and walk away... later when they have no work they will come back to you for a new deal... between 4 and 7:30 they want the max $$$, by 8;30 with the show starting at 9, they know their will be no work during the show, as most people will want to watch the show... by 9:30-9:45 they are thinking of their bus home, and anything after 10 will be too late. depending on how far they have to go to get home... also try.... to find a boy who can speak some english, and buy them a drink and ask them who is good, what is your type, and they will help you out. (via tomcal) take the english talker out to dinner after words or buy him another drink, so for the price of 2 drinks you would of saved 150 to 200R we all have a club we like, in my book its 117, then point, then MM... T

BTW, all these comments are referring to a trip made beginning of 2012. Situation might have changed significantly since then ... My main source of information to find the places was Spartacus guide and of course internet

I was planning to answer on Istanbul but I need to copy and paste text. Anyone knows how to do that ? I will post pics of the text

Everyone has different tastes. For example, in spite of all the praise heaped upon Meio Mundo on this forum, my experiences there were underwhelming (and each of my traveling friends independently felt the same way). However, we all love 117. I can totally understand why someone would not like it very much, though. Each night is different. Assuming you went last night (Thursday), it very well could've been a slower night. If there were not a whole lot of clients there, I can totally understand why the muscle guys looked bored (although you'd think they would pounce on the few available clients -- according to the rules of supply and demand). By the way, this (slow or off nights) sometimes happens at saunas in all the cities, Rio, São Paulo, Salvador, etc. Locals and expats probably shrug it off a lot more than tourists (particularly non-regular tourists) BECUASE the latter have too much emotionally (and financially) invested in every day and night being an off-the-charts good time. If possible, if time permits, you should give each place a few shots on different days before making a final judgment. Even I went back to Meio Mundo 4 times before rendering my final judgment of "not for me!" Of course, if time is short, then just pick the best night for all. And remember, if the place just isn't right for you, there ain't nothing wrong with that. There's so much more to do in Rio, or Brazil for that matter -- and there's also non-working boy saunas for you to try. It's funny how meeting that one right guy at a sauna just one time can completely shape of change one's opinion of the place. I suspect that didn't happen to you last night (bad night), but the total opposite could happen tonight or tomorrow night.

I am pleased that you participated. I think you learned a lot to apply to your first trip to Brazil. As to "They are knowledgeable but not welcoming" applies only to a handful of childish and argumentative guttersnipes. It is easy to hide behind an anonymous internet screen. Those who write rude and/or obnoxious things rarely have the guts to say the same to you in person. Those who are not welcoming are easy to spot based on their pattern of negativity. When you learn this about a poster, you ignore them if you cannot discuss an issue without the poster getting hostile.

I am glad you didn't listen to them. But, when you are in a public area, you deal with all types of people and everyone that is successful learns to navigate them. I have enjoyed your posts a great deal. I agree with MVan1, if you go again another day it may be great. But, for me, I only need one amazing guy and I am all set and happy. LOL

Thanks for that site....Funny Im all over the internet and never been to Bangbangboys....Im seeing a few of my favorite from there....

Enjoy...

I'm panting furiously! I want to meet all of these hotties!!!!

I can't comment on the gay scene there as I was only there for a few days and not alone to play. But Istanbul is an incredible city and the Hagia Sophia is certainly one of the best historic buildings I've been to. Enjoy the trip and give us the juicy details when you return!!

If you would like a reparable gay man as a tour guide, [...not a procurer of escorts, but he might have that on his site for self- protection!] contact Luis @ http://www.gaycubatourguide.com. A week ago I went to his site on FB after a man who'd used Luis's services had written on his own site about Luis. I sent the fellow a message and received the most pleasant and candidly assuring site as to Luis's trustworthiness and professional dealings. He also mentioned in his FB response to me that Yunior is not as he purports to be. He, too, has a website, and he's the one who did NOT get with me for a gay tour once I'd arrived and as promised many months in advance with a few updates along the way. If I manage to return to Havana in December of this year, I'm definitely hoping Luis will be available for me!
