I thought I would be smart and leave the city on an 6:45 AM flight back to the states.... Totally forgot that the metro, buses, uber, AND most of the taxis were not able to get in or out of Copacabana.... Had a great time celebrating New Years on Copa....had a few drinks...watched the amazing fireworks and then decided to head to the airport at 4 am....You know, I would have had PLENTY of time to get to the airport Not the case....Cariocas STAY in Copa after the fireworks display and again...Uber wasnt working...Buses didnt start back running until 5 am and I dont even know how to take the metro to the airport area... After attempting to catch a taxi on my own for about 40 minutes..I got BLESSED A Carioca who spoke really good English was already in a taxi that was able to flag down told the driver to take me to airport...she was getting out in Ipanema... I got to the airport with tons of time to spare but the whole ride there, I was praying there were no long lines... I paid more than double what an uber ride is to the airport...$40 US but hey, it was still a bargain Again, I DO NOT recommend anybody trying to fly out of Rio right after NYE celebrations unless you have a driver already...

As the dust seems to be settling on Giftgate... here's more red-hot throbbing extreme present-giving... and the rest... Day 7 : Wednesday The day starts with Marcus leaving... I get myself together and head out to Fabio's shop. He seems to think I bring luck... because customers keep turning up whilst I am there. I meet his sister in the street. And then I meet his mother!!!... coming to ask Fabio for some money for some milk (he gives her 4R$). I even get to look round his house and go to his mezzanine bedroom. It’s very sweet... very 20's. The perfumes I’ve given him are displayed atop of a chest of drawers. The underwear I’ve given him are neatly arranged in the top drawer. Banksy posters are on his walls. We drive around the neighbourhood and see the competition to his shop... then he takes me to an elderly gentleman in Mario Quintana who repairs dented cars... so that I can get the hire car undented, resprayed and polished (after Leandro had offered to park the car on Monday night). It’ll cost R$200 …but he needs R$30 upfront to buy the paint. The afternoon is spent offering myself up on Grindr... asking for GDP... plenty of willing participants but I'm too pushed for time... Mezzaninu... the Filipinos... the guy from San Francisco... the guy from New Jersey... Tom... and a few others. More garotos but mostly the same faces... some beautiful muscley active guys... hardly anything I want to do... Everton Things are so poor, I try a one year reunion with (looking up my previous description) "frantic kisses... and every single face of pain and agony as he tries to sit on top of me... Was inside for about 5 seconds.... clearly agony!"... and things have improved slightly... there's still the frantic kisses... and still does the many faces of pain... but he manages to perform some sort of bouncing balancing routine on the very top of my dick... yes it's inside... but only just... You just keep asking yourself "Is he about to die?" Agreed 100 Paid 100 Junior ...looks a shadow of his confident former self... he is just hanging around. Back in March he was often at the centre of duos and threesome etc for both me and Tom... but no one can accuse him of building on this success... he is moping around... even Tom can remember this is not the same guy we knew... We drag him to the table... financial problems... had to sell his car... he has a wife (despite everyone… yes everyone… still telling me he is gay… what could be his gain by pretending he’s straight?)... she has his mobile phone... this is now his only job... and despite all this he is still oozing the sex appeal of a sad sock. Tom and I offer to spend time with him, Tom first... me second... He's lovely. He does everything well. Whilst I was fucking him, he was going at it, as if trying to cum... I felt it best to stop him as he may need that finale for someone else later... Agreed 100 Paid 150 + drink + food 2nd Night with Leandro "I am ponctual" he says as he approaches... we eat in Paris 6... he's in a much more talkative mood... boys are not telling the truth... some have brought problems on themselves... do I know the amount of drug dealing that goes on there?... Why do I think boys who seem to get no clients still turn up? ...and all the beans are spilt... Back at the apartment, Leandro is an unparalleled delight. As he makes his way through another bottle of champagne, he has developed this sexy wink he keeps doing... Into bed... butter wouldn’t melt in his blast furnace… but the combination of champagne, copious poppers and him forcing my hand… eventually leads to.... Full fist. First time. He cums. I felt as if I’d taken his virginity. I’m probably the first of many fists. He runs to the bathroom. And comes out all bashful, "Pope Francis!" he lisps as if we’ve just done something naughty. He’s ecstatic. He is perfect. Unspoken 600 Paid 600 Day 8: Thursday ...and despite 4 hours sleep, we're up at 8am!... because I have to take the hire car to Mario Quintana to drop it with the old guy who is going to do the respraying and polishing... I have no idea whether he'll do a good job but I'm guessing he can't make my "damaged hire car" situation any worse... Buy sweets and drinks from a corner shop... Fabio really happy... Fabio and I go for another walk around the neighbourhood and then I Uber home for... Gianni This is the gay guy who is always happy and funny on his Facebook rather than posing... he's studying to become a fireman... and he likes medium trunks. And despite extensive texting well in advance... he is 45 minutes late. He's lovely. We sit and chat. I'm getting him drunk. Smirnoff Ice. We're showing each other videos... I'm watching popstrel Arianna Grande doing impressions... too much Lady Gaga…and even Andrew Christian adverts with a Cher soundtrack! Gianni is definitely gay. In return I give him Paloma Faith singing at the Brits Bed is good. Kissing and fucking. He's really good at it. In the middle of kissing, he yawns, reminding me this is all an elaborate 3 hour performance! It's funny. We laugh. He's lovely to be with. Afterwards I give him the only medium trunks I've brought... a pair of Ed Hardy and a pair of Aussiebum… both are very gay... he likes them “Yellow is my favourite colour!” (who says that?)... and some CK One Shock... which he likes as well... Agreed 250 Paid 400 (I just kinda like him) Hire car-less, Tom and I take an Uber to Mezzaninu. The Uber crashes into a taxi. At Mezzaninu it's very very much the same faces... and any new face is quickly snapped up by someone more forward than me... Tom and I are talking about the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing - Tom youtubes in weekly to watch Aljaž Škorjanec... I prefer Debbie's partner, Giovanni. Neither of them are here in Mezzaninu tonight. I sit for a very long time before doing anything... Pedro Chatted up on the roof with some English... he's totally active... but he swears we can have a good time... (one of the Filipinos has already had him) We go to the room... great kisser... great sucker... and he is really going the extra mile... really passionate... like real sex... and he has the biggest penis... massive... it's too big really... and he's really good fun and nice and stunning and uses a lot of initiative. It's just nice being with him. He is freelance waiter and security... he does ju-jitsu... has a wife and 3 year old daughter. And yes, he finds doing this difficult. Afterwards he sends me loads of stunning photos and videos of himself from the locker room... and is constantly making eye contact during the night... he knows how to treat his fan base! Agreed 100 Paid 100 Doing a Tom "use the room twice" jobbie... Matheus Someone I went with last year... in March he had turned into the manager of Mezzaninu... and now he is back to being a boy... because the money’s better. He's an old face... a slightly chubbier old face... Italian macho looks... very handsome... and a total bottom... an eager bottom... who rides me. This is more about finding an excuse to give him 100R because he’s a nice guy. Wife, 7 year old daughter, works as motorboy during the day. Tells his wife he's a motorboy in the evening too. (Is it possible to keep this sorta thing a secret?) Agreed 100 Paid 100 After another lull... I get a taste of Rio in the shape of... Roger He's here for 6 days from Rio... he speaks English... he is huge (really muscular)... and surprisingly he's totally passivo. I tell him none of the clients will go with him because everyone assumes he is active. After some hard negotiation we agree 120 (what was I thinking???)... but I don't fancy him (I'm doing this simply to take a photo for you!)... he proudly shows off his big bum (I hate it)... shows me why he wouldn't be great as a top... and keeps trying to get me to fuck him... eventually he does settle into a hug and kiss thing which was the most I'd want. Says he has massage and security certificates and can do those jobs if he wants. He also thinks of himself as an artist! At the end I'm paying him his 120... and he cheekily yet nicely asks for “um pouco” more... then saying… (in English!!!) “with the current exchange rate, R$150 is less than £10 more”! He is nice... he doesn't push it... but a garoto informing me of international exchange rates???... as I say... a taste of Rio... I suspect. Agreed 120 Paid 120 A week later I see his vivalocal advert. He says he’s 48! 48 in garoto years must mean he could be my father. In other news, the Madonna concert has finally finished. They’ve now got some sort of 70’s disco video compilation going on. Fabio In the evening Fabio comes over. I give him the ton of presents I've bought for him - underwear... perfume... posters... and a new phone. He's really really happy. No - REALLY happy. We fall into bed. He’s going for it with the sucking. Really going for it. We’re getting there… tears… gagging…I’m telling him “yeah”. He vomits on the floor. I cum.

Agree with Axion; for you Thermas Barcelona is ideal. Plenty of Brazilian and East European muscled bodybuilders who parade the hallways with raging hard-ons. Only 50E for a half-hour fling in a cabin. If you get a room very nearby guys will meet you there for 100E for an hour. Best times are just after work and it's worth the $10/hr for the "luxury" room #1. Full bed, video, and a/c that works. Most guys are in Zurich now because the prices there are outrageous. If you print money Zurich is for you. Berlin and most of Germany has very reasonable prices but the decent guys are online. The many hustler bars are virtually 100% Romanian and dangerous. Online there's some very nice meat at reasonable prices. Carnival in Koln is excellent. Prague is slow and not cheap anymore. Vienna is surprisingly good. Budapest is surprisingly bad. The best looking blonds are in the Baltics and St. Petersburg. Those Russian bods are amazing. Medellin takes a little work and research but has amazing guys and almost-free prices. Ft. Lauderdale's "Where the Boys Are". 3 big strip clubs with cubicles. Tanned guys from everywhere. It's the Mecca for escorts. West Hollywood (WeHo) is saturated with the "done too much drugs and porn" crowd. Easy hookups for coke and $.

Thanks Tarte for your insight and for your past, entertaining posts. You are certainly correct that it is an option that one can approach a guy at any time. I would just say that a shy guy/first-timer does not have to worry about approaching Guys as he will be approached. Jack, if you see the one guy that just does it for you across the room, by all means approach him, introduce yourself, and maybe ask if he wants a drink. I have confessed previously that I fell head over heels for exactly one sauna boy after many visits. His name was Alex, a Guatemalan at Thermas in BCN (not a common national background for saunas). Trust me, I approached him on several visits as he was probably the hottest man I have ever seen. I can still picture sex with him and the enthusiasm he showed in tonguing my hole so gently and so thoroughly before fucking me hard with a scarily thick cock and never forgetting to stop frequently for dep kisses. If you see your own personal “god,” grab him while you can!

A school is in trouble because a teacher showed students classical paintings. Some of them showed people's butts. https://news.hjnews.com/logan_hj/teacher-parents-weigh-in-on-nude-artwork-incident/article_cbcb8316-9f6e-56b7-93c1-14807cc595a9.html

Yeah. I grew up in the 70s and 80s and was pretty much told "go outside" as soon as I came home from school and not to come home until dinner.

I was thinking of writing something extremely similar to this as an answer but then got distracted. Thanks, you saved me time! My only different advice, @JackR is that if you see a guy you like, you can just go and say “hello”, you don’t have to wait for him to come to see you (then follow the script as given perfectly by @tidewater here above). Dont worry about the possibility of confusing clients and working boys, or approaching a guy that isn’t working, they really look very different, that has never happened to me once, neither in Zurich, nor in Brasil.

Last year I wanted to go to a club after watching the fireworks, I could not find Uber or taxi. I was half drunk, didn't speak Portuguese, and was anxious to go to the next party, I walked back to my hotel front desk, they called around a few taxi/limo companies, and magic happened. So, the hotel service comes in handy in this situation.

Hi Jack You specifically mentioned my review so I hope I can help. We all had a very first time so questions are understandable. First, I have no idea which post mentioned “sauna attire” but there really is no such thing in my experience. When you arrive, there is first a front desk where you will pay an entrance fee and you will be given a towel, a locker key and flip-flops. It is good to know your shoe size in European size (for instance, US size 12 is 46 in Europe/Spain). You simply go to your locker, take off all your street clothes and store, and put on the towel and flip-flops. I maybe have seen a few people at different saunas stay in street clothes but I think it appears a little odd (others may disagree). Yes, there is a bar area to get a drink at Adan and every sauna I have visited. They charge it to the number on your locker key and you pay a total as you exit. Engaging the guys really isn’t an issue. They will one by one begin to engage with you and quickly. During my first visits, I found the hardest thing initially was finding a polite way of turning guys down (I usually say something like “I am just hanging out for now”). They will then look for someone else and a new guy is sure to approach you soon. When you find one you are interested in spending time with, they will usually begin my strokzing your leg, kissing you etc. You then try to communicate your preferences (for me, things like top or bottom, will they deep-kiss, will they cum, etc.). Then, you negotiate a price (I try to get them to agree that is a “final” price and not open to further negotiation). I would recommend personally that tips are appropriate for those that go “above and beyond” but I know others here say “never.” The guys will lead you to a cabin (in some saunas, you go to the front desk to retrieve a key...which means that you will have the room added to your sauna bill...but that isn’t the case in the two Spanish “rent boy” saunas). After you have your fun, , you meet the guy at your locker and pay him (typically after a shower). These are the basics I would think for a first-timer but happy to answer any additional questions you may have! Do keep in mind, the saunas in Brazil and Barcelona are certainly more highly recommended but there is no reason to miss Adan if you are in Madrid.

I remember being in 7th Grade and going to the Smithsonian and seeing nudes but no one every had an issue with it. I hail from Alabama. I think today's culture is going backwards instead of forwards. Sad.

To be blunt (please forgive), I think that view comes from the infantilization of children that, in essence, originated in mid- to late Victorian times, specifically in England. For the 120,000 years of H. sapiens' existence prior, 'children' were understood as equal members of society. Capable of widely independent, and 'responsible', action -- hunting game on par with their 'elders', running and playing together responsibly without 'adult supervision', indeed groups of 'children' with no adult accompaniment at all going out and successfully taking down very big -- and dangerous -- game to feed the tribe -- need I go on? I myself grew up in a 1960s-suburban translation of same. Which came from parents being farm-family types, where such behavior of children was taken for granted. In summer, out of school, after breakfast our parents gave no thought to our going out of the house and disappearing -- into the nearby woods, into other friends' houses, what did it matter? -- until lunchtime at home. And then back out again. From age five, my parents assumed I knew how to keep myself alive through whatever kind of (again, summertime school vacation) entertainment out-of-doors I found interesting. Including that they assumed I knew how not to be shot by the fairly numerous deer-hunters who peopled the thick woods behind our subdivision all through the fall and winter! (I knew to buy bright-red winter coats. ) Point is: We are all being infantilized into the state where we could elect [yes, given all the irregularities etc.] our current Orange Orangutang.

I agree. I go to night clubs in SP quite often, many clubs have gogo dancers. People rarely tip the dancers at night clubs in Brazil, I suppose it's the culture here. But I often just sneak bills in their socks, sometimes even R20 bills. I do this not because I am hoping to hookup with them later, but because I like some dancers moves, or their expression. That's all. And sometimes I see young guys (customers) dancing at clubs but not buying any drinks all night (these are not druggies clubs), so I go buy beers for them, and left them alone. Again, I have no any intention other than seeing happy faces. And I am thankful I can afford to do this.

Unless parents start much earlier than 11-12 years old, the children will have already been "exposed" to nudity. Unfortunately we have children of that approximate age who are parents themselves. They probably were exposed to nudity at some point. PC has completely run amok. Do as I say, not as I do. Best regards, RA1

Like many, I’ve really enjoyed reading Tartegogo’s account of his tour through South America. I also write fairly detailed accounts of my trips which I WhatsApp to my best friend back in Europe. So, after a bit of editing and a bit of encouragement from Tartegogo, here’s my fourth trip – which was to Porto Alegre and Curitiba… with a bit of Sao Paulo thrown in at the end. The trip was between November/December 2017. I ought to point out that I’ve changed a few names or used their “Mezzaninu name” (but if you recognize anyone I’ll happily confirm it to you). I have a sort of special relationship with an ex-garoto Fabio (I’ve had him come to Paris with me). I have a few regulars who join me for nights… Leandro and Marcus. I’m late 40’s, a total top. And I really like very thin and lean guys. Passive. Any age. Protruding ears are a bonus. (so I guess that makes me a bit different to most clients) Sometimes I go with a guy just to be able to take his photo and send it to my friend (who likes muscular tops). I stay in an apartment. I hire a car. I’ve already done everything a tourist can do in Porto Alegre. I can now speak a little Portuguese (but have had no trouble with Google Translate conversations in the past) In Porto Alegre, the main saunas are Mezzaninu and Plataforma. The cruising bar is Bar Mixx. The after club is Indiscetus. If you’re up for more, the after-after-club is Sexy Vicio (where everyone’s for sale – and someone once offered to pay me for sex!) – but I didn’t go there this time. I’m quite shy and not very forward. I always say 100R$. I always take a photo. I have two friends that I speak to – an American called Tom (no not that one) and a Mexican-American guy called Roberto. I probably use the words “adorable”, “incredibly” and “amazing” too much As I say, this is my fourth trip. What I’m finding is that the evenings spent with the guys I know (or I’m getting to know) are much more fulfilling than the sauna experiences. There’s plently of opportunity for the pearl-clutchers to be outraged… yes I pay too much… yes I lavish too many gifts… yes I’m happy to push some boundaries if the garoto seems willing. But fucking is always with a condom. So if you’re feeling a bit bored and want to read about guys being hunted down in Porto Alegre, here it is. It's a bit long so I'll divide it into four installments I think. If nothing else, the section about Curitiba highlights a scene that isn’t talked about much on here. And no, I didn’t have Tartegogo’s Bruno!

Would any of you wear leather pants in public? Nothing extreme—more like these. https://www.jbrandjeans.com/mick-skinny-fit-in-washed-black-leather

If there is anything you are unclear about, ask one of the rentboys. They know the ins and outs (they work there most days) and are often very keen to make you feel comfortable talking to them, because it can result in being hired.

Not at all

Glad you were able to enjoy the fireworks @Badboy81 Clearly the best pyrotechnics display here in awhile. So there was a smoky ending that blocked some viewing at the climax. Sometimes you just have to use your imagination. In the end it's the overall Carioca vibe that makes it worth it. You seem to get that.

Whip me daddy. Make me write bad checks.

The lamb one is great!

Why weren't any of these under my tree???

Good.

1. Providing labor to eat & survive is not objectionable to me. Regardless of age. 2. 'Benign neglect' was exactly my outdoor existence in childhood. (Not indoor, but then we were allowed to go outdoors time we wanted. Without any prior notice. It was simply understood that children would run out of house and play with each other. Or in the yard or neighborhood by themselves.) 3. We did not even go in until called five, six or seven times by our parents.

As you very well know, "early" children were viewed as extra hands to provide labor and whatever else they could to help support the family. I am not so sure that they were thought to be independent as they were provided benign neglect. As to your upbringing, was it as you describe or were you (as was I) a product of simpler times when we could play outside until called in by our parents? Best regards, RA1

Redxs, you're asking quite a bit here, but I'll give you my limited take on this. There's always the Thermas in Barcelona. Although my one experience there was not the best, others here, as well as a good friend of mine, have fared much better. My experience had NOTHING to do with the guys but with management. But at any rate, others can chime in regarding this venue in BCN, a city that I love. There's also the hot scenes in Berlin and Munich, but you will have to do the research. Read what has already been posted here (live) as well as what's in the "archives." I had a very hot escort in Budapest about four years ago. He, at the time, advertised at http://rentmen.com or perhaps at the now defunct rentboy. The time with him still resonates with me. Sorry, can't remember his name. Check out: www.gaycities.com and some other gay-specific webs. In many cases the info. that's posted is worthwhile.

"Not funny Mr. Smith"

Yep. People are insane today. Art has nudity in it. People should deal.

“My son felt that Mr. Mateo belittled them,” Pixton said. “He said Mr. Mateo even told the class ‘There’s nothing wrong with female nipples. You guys need to grow up and be mature about this.’” Rueda flatly denies he said this or took such a tone. Did Rueda say this? We don't really know for sure. My point is that IF this was said, then in my opinion Rueda handled this improperly, and perhaps his teaching skills might be lacking. Happy New Year to everyone.

In 2018, we'll Party like it's 1999 (especially IF Trump is GONE)

Day 1: Thursday – Porto Alegre I've officially chosen the worst car hire company in POA – FOCO!... wait ages for the FOCO shuttle bus... then the women in the office faff around… their ethos seems to be "if you keep going on and on about insurance in Portuguese eventually he’ll buy it". I won't and I don't. The weather is terrible. Grey with tropical rain. The traffic is terrible. Every road seemed blocked between 4 and 7. I've never seen it this bad. Mezzaninu seems subdued. Slightly more boys and slightly more clients than I remember on a Thursday night... the lights are turned down. I don’t know if this is to make the clients seem more appealing. Will they ever stop playing that “Madonna in Concert” video? Gustavo Pretty. But it's an ordeal. Has to have the television on (straight porn). Tentative kisses. Looks at my penis as if I’ve got leprosy and suggests we “tomar bano”. .. so then we're standing in the shower and he's soaping my dick like he's scrubbing up for surgery.... of course by now it's all a recovery mission... some halfer-than-half-hearted sucking... back to the bed for a finale of sorts... but for me, it's more a final countdown... Didn't ask him any questions... I couldn't care less He'd asked for 80. I paid him 120. Yes too much... but it’s probably the least I've ever paid. Felipe Distinctive look... beautiful long neck... going bald… Roberto tells him to give me a very very good time... he's probably a better top... kisses are better 3/10... he makes no effort to suck 0/10... instead he's making me suck him! 2/10... he gets fucked... with fake moans... it’s like fucking a resuscitation dummy. He asked 100 I paid 120 Julhano This is a repeat with a guy from last time. He's bigger and gay. Now he's leaner... and now he tells me he's not gay! Says he’s got a wife… that she’s taken his phone… It's ok. He kisses well. He sucks well. He takes it. He flops with poppers. But he rallies at the end for a gozar. It's good but I think I was already a bit fed up. I give him a pair of Armani briefs that I’d arranged to get him before I arrived. Fabio It's belting with rain. I drive 5 miles out of POA to what is one step up from a shanty town... Waze describes my destination as an "unnamed road". Fabio is waiting... excited... happy... I get to see his shop "The Village"... meet his best friend Samuel... it's wonderful. Fabio and I head to McDonalds. We meet one of his "fans" from when Fabio was a singer. Fabio cannot remember his name... but he's gay and cute... and with his boyfriend! Fabio and I get to the apartment. Fabio still very happy. He has an erection! It's a lovely night. There seems genuine passion. He seems to have lots of plans... basically me and him every night. I'll text him. It's nice. Uber home 26R. Day 2: Friday - Porto Alegre is much better.! It's Friday!... that means get your vaccination regime up to date... swallow an antihistamine... and off to Plataforma! …Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before… Plataforma There are about 3 clients and 10 garotos. I'm mostly sitting alone in their main room. Chris Issac is belting out “Wicked game” He’s always singing this when I’m here. Then one guy comes, introduces himself and sits next to me... this time I make a point of translating "Do you kiss?" "Do you suck?" "Do you get fucked?" ...and with a "yes", we head off... Rodrigo My height... very lean... tattoos... and he does everything... and his kissing is passionate! His showstopper is his absolutely ENORMOUS penis... which he doesn't force on me but it demands further attention.... actually it probably demands a sauna for itself... He is good. Agreed 100 Paid 120 The next guy is walking around a bit... then he’s sitting at a table having a drink with a client... I position myself... unsubtlely in his line of vision... they are chatting away... then... they don't go off to a room together!!!... Five minutes later he's sitting with me... and another client has positioned himself in his line of vision!... Henrique Is quite simply handsome. Not muscular... or skinny... just a beautiful face... and very friendly... and speaks a little English because he once worked in the Sheraton. He says he is more passive... He kisses... he sucks... he gets fucked... he never gets hard... I ask why?... he says because he's being passive... Following a special request... he rises... and ejaculates! Lovely guy. Gives me his number... says he's been advertising himself on Vivalocal for 4 days... To check his number is working, I text "Oi"... and despite the fact he is lying next to me, butt naked with no phone, back comes the reply "Oi"! How come? I ask... He's left his phone with his brother so that his brother can respond to messages from any prospective clients!!! Agreed 100 Paid 120 Plataforma: unbelievably good! (what’s happened???) (and still unbelievably dirty) I leave. Arrive at Mezzaninu at 7.30pm. It's raining again. There is a group of 3 Filipino Americans sitting with some boys. They certainly have a "type"... I guess the term "jock" sums it up. I chat with Roberto. I meet Marcelo again. Roberto and I go to the roof. Free churrasco on the roof. Then I see him... the cutest guy by a million miles... But is he with a client??? He exits. I give him 2 minutes. I go down And catch him coming back up! Quick questions! Passivo? (of course he is!) etc etc We get a room... Guillerme Good kisser. He sucks. He is as cute as it comes. But his position of choice has a blue whale spooning with a pixie (I'm far too old for this Cirque de Soleil) He wants to do Radiology at college. His last day in POA is tomorrow before he goes on holiday... Later that night, Fabio comes over... we go out to Bar Mixx. It's terrible. Half of it (where the pool table was) has been blocked off. The garotos that are strutting around are all really tall. We leave. Night with Fabio drinking a bottle of white Martini I've bought him. Day 3: Saturday at Mezzaninu. I pick up Tom who's just arrived Mezzaninu is busy. I go to work... First stop: Repeat with Guillerme Great kisser. Beautiful smooth skin. Sucks. Gets fucked. Does what it says on the tin. Today is his last day here before going on holiday. Matteus-Henrique Having seen him enter whilst I was waiting for a key for the first room, he quickly went to the top of my "to do" list. I'd seen him on vivalocal so expected him to say he was called Henrique. But instead he called himself Matteus. He's 18. Beautiful eyes. Poor kisser but sucks and takes it. He is saving money because he would like to be a doctor. Asked 100 Paid 120 Gustavo Wears a maroon t-shirt because it's cold. He says he'll do it all. And he does. And he's as skinny as they come. If bad teeth street urchin is your type - then Gustavo is your man. He came whilst I was fucking him which is exciting. Then I try to talk with him. He cannot give me a WhatsApp number because he has no phone. He seems to find reading difficult... and he's not drawn into a Google translate conversation. Asked 100 Paid 150 Gianni Gianni is a trooper. I’ve always known of Gianni. He was the garoto’s go-to guy when they needed a bottom for duos. Last time I was here, Tom watched Julhano fuck Gianni. .. and even I've had the 'pleasure' of watching Lucas the straight guy with the massive Angel wings tattoo fuck Gianni (which I wasn’t so keen on). But we’ve never spoken. In the run up to this trip, I’d messaged Julhano... I planned to buy him some cuecas (underpants) and, because I'm guessing he's not a small, felt it best to ask... and he comes back with Armani, medium, black. And I’d given him them on the first day as a sort of thank you for the last trip. So it came as a bit of a surprise when, in the run up to this trip…and out-of-the-blue, I’m messaged by Gianni (someone I've never been with) advertising his services. I already know from Facebook that: 1) He's gay 2) He's friends with everyone 3) He seems very happy and funny (Unlike every time I've seen him where I think he's fairly masculine) Anyway we’ve already agreed to meet! So I come down the stairs... and there he is... I pretend to ask him his name... agree 100... and off we go... And it's brilliant. He kisses, he sucks, I fuck him for what seems like ages, he's pouring with sweat. It seems like something close to passion. We both cum. He's training to be a fireman. I ask what underwear he likes?... Calvin Klein... Andrew Christian (the brand that Marcus refuses to wear because it's like walking on a beach and advertising that you are "passivo"!)... and he's medium... which may be a problem. Agreed 100 Paid 150 Repeat with Gustavo Some boys clearly have difficulty getting clients... and the "I'll steal your wallet" look doesn't really go down well. Gustavo is clearly in this bracket. He's also getting drunk. He's asking for another go (I suspect I might be his only client as he's done a lot of table hopping tonight)... OK then if I must… He does it all again. He's rough, skinny and eager. He cums again. Agreed 100 Paid 120 Fabio I drive out to the scary neighbourhood of Mario Quintana. And meet Fabio in his shop. We're going to go for something to eat... and where better than his brother’s hotdog van!?... which has now moved to the safety of his brother's front patio. So down a side street in the middle of 'unnamed road'… I'm eating a hotdog. I'm meeting his brother Roberto and Roberto's wife Veronica (who dances in the carnival)... two dogs are barking in the street… and it's just lovely. Fabio seems so happy that I'm there. He's still posting pictures of Paris and London on Facebook (I think how annoying must that be to his friends?) We drive to Bar Mixx (worse than Friday)... then on to Indiscretus... which is on the empty side. We both dance a little. Then back to the apartment for white Martini (his choice)... and lots of sex.... always ending with us thanking one another.

It held my attention throughout. I agree with you that if it was an older man, there would be a lynch mob. Something as simple as an attraction between a younger and an older man has been complicated beyond all reason. Pretty soon you'll need a priest, a rabbi and an imam, plus 3 lawyers to sign off on all sexual relationships.

I had posed a question on the status of Sauna Adan but just returned from Madrid and can give an update myself. I think some of the negative reviews here were a little exaggerated. The sauna is located a few blocks off one of the largest streets in the city and is an easy and safe walk from anywhere in central Madrid. I found the individuals working at the front desk perfectly polite (nothing like some previous posts). The facilities were fine (definitely not as nice as Thermas in Barcelona with a much smaller bar area but nothing so horrible that it should deter anyone from going). There were usually about 20+ guys working when I went (around 6:00 in the evening). It is definitely not anything like the numbers at 117 on a Tuesday night (I have never seen a selection like that!) but I think most people will find someone to their liking. Everyone with whom I had a programa or with whom I had a conversation (during 3 visits) was from South America. Lots of Colombians but also Brazilians and Venezuelans. Others had reported meeting Eastern Europeans but strangely I never met a person from that region. A few were a bit long in the tooth maybe but I think you get that anywhere. Here was something I found a bit unique about the experiences. It seems 50 euros is a set price and no one really tried to haggle over the rate at all. Many guys at Thermas tend to first give a higher price and I was quoted outrageous “gringo”prices at first in Brazil. Here it is just assumed that everyone pays 50 euros. On the negative side, the programas seemed a bit shorter than perhaps ones I have had at Thermas or in Brazil. Maybe longer sessions could have been up for negotiation but I actually enjoyed the elimination of haggling and worrying if I was paying more than others! Also, the guys all seemed willing to be versatile. I only bottom myself but I have the “curse” of being a bottom who is rather well-endowed. Some of the guys definitely seemed interested in bottoming for me but didn’t happen! In summary, I don’t think Adan is quite as good as the experiences in Barcelona and Brazil but anyhow me in Madrid should check it out as it works fine and there are so few places in the world where you can have this experience.
