Part 4 of 4: The Boy in Ipanema There is a little trepidation on my part when I invited the boy to dinner, for two reasons: a.) the first two posts here in the Latin America section, which outline the various precautions one must take when dealing with Brazilian sauna boys, and b.) the high crime and murder rate in Brazil in general, and Rio in particular, whether real or hyped in the news, is seared in my brain. I was bold enough to spend my first four days in Brazil alone (in Sao Paulo), but in those days, I had the fortune of meeting two Paulistas (a hairdresser and a teacher) on Grindr (the hairdresser was even set up on the 45 minutes Uber ride from Guarulhos airport to my AirBNB in Bela Vista), who gave me the 411 on the general dos and don’ts of the city. And even with all my experience boyhunting in Thailand, Mexico and Colombia, where various boys have stayed with me in my hotel or AirBNB without incident, and even one time I’ve even stayed in the apartment of two Chaturbate webcam boys in Colombia, and slept in their room, sandwiched in the middle between the two boys in their queen sized bed, I was still nervous about being with this Brazilian sauna boy, out and about in dangerous Rio, without the security of the sauna. Anyone who knows me, knows that I am usually a good judge of character, and not one instance in the countless encounters I’ve had, have I ever felt I was in danger. Let’s call my Brazilian sauna boy Gabriel. To recap, Gabriel is a bleached blonde 22-year old Carioca who was tall (6’1), muscular (not steroided, huge pecs, large thighs) and versatile (enormous penis, giant bubble butt, needed lidocaine to bottom). He had the typical Brazilian looks and racial mix I was looking for. In time I’m sure I’ll explore all the colors and types that the saunas have to offer, but now, Gabriel has out-Brazilianed every Brazilian boy in the house. On a whim I invited him to have dinner with me, as my first baby step into expanding my sauna experience here in Brazil. In the Uber, he immediately grabbed my hand and held it for most of the ride. This was a great sign, a sign that he was not afraid to be intimate with me even in the non-sexual parts of the our time together, and he was comfortable enough with me enough to do so. The few times he wasn’t holding my hand was when we were using google translate to speak to each other. My Portuguese was a little better than his English, which was to say it was still pretty bad, so if we were going to do a deep dive into each other’s lives, we had to do so with the help of the app. He told me he lived in the edges of one of the favelas in Sao Goncalo, one of the districts of Rio northeast of Ipanema. He googles some images of the Rio-Niteroi bridge, and tells me that he crosses this bridge everyday on the way to the sauna. He is fairly athletic and is a skateboarder. He shows me some photos of him on the sakteboard, and tells me he would send over a video of him doing some amateur tricks. He asks me about my life. I give him a general version of my life. He asks me how often I go to Brazil. I type the words “This is my first trip to Brazil. And you are my first sauna boy.” I look at the translation first before giving it to him. The word garoto pops up, so I was satisfied with the output and hand it to him. He reads the translation and smiles. He looks up and says “Serio?” I nod “Sim!” He types a response back: I hope your trip is great. And I hope your first time in the sauna was a very good experience. I type something back in the affirmative. We get back to holding hands in the uber. And then I realize: MISTAKE #1: I showed him all my cards too soon. I told him I was a newbie. Now I am thinking that he is going to take advantage of me, or worse. This brief but disturbing thought flashed through my head. I try to not think about it further, lest it ruin the rest of the night. I had the Uber take us to the condo in Ipanema. We arrive and I tell Gabriel that we should go in first and get the umbrellas that the condo had, in case it rained while we were out, since it was cloudy. We get in and we hug right away. We kiss for a few minutes and then he says he was really hungry. He leaves his whore bag in the apartment (clear sign that we were going back here after dinner) and we head out. Sure enough, it started to rain hard so we unfurl our gay rainbow umbrellas (which made Gabriel chuckle but didn’t mind it), and started to look for a restaurant that looked good. We see a nice restaurant called Armazem Devassa (image from Google): Gabriel points to it and I nod. We walk to the maître d’ to get seated. I put up two fingers to the guy and he says “2 people?” in English. He gives us one of the outdoor tables that was protected from the rain by an awning. We get comfortable and this was out view of the wet streets of Ipanema: We were given menus, both in English. Gabriel laughs and points to himself and says “Gringo.” He asks for the Portugeuse language menu. We look at the menu: Whenever I am overseas, I always prefer to try the local dishes. So I ask Gabriel what the most traditional Brazilian dish on the menu was. He looked at the menu and said that the Picadinho Carioca would be his choice for traditional meal. It was cubes of filet mignon with beans, fried bananas, farofa and a poached egg. Sounds good. Gabriel orders the salmon, and he says this was the healthy choice because he needs to keep trim for work. We put in our order and then we get into a conversation about his diet. He says he tries to avoid alcohol when he can. And because he has a fast metabolism, he eats a lot of eggs (around 12) in the morning to get in the protein right away. The results of his diet regime truly are remarkable. He gives me some diet tips. I’m sure I will never follow it. Our food comes and it looks good (a little bit blurry sorry): We eat in peace because it is hard to use google translate and have two hands free to use the fork and knife. He asks me if the food was good by pointing to my plate and then giving a thumbs up. I nod. We do a lot of grunt-talking for communication since we cannot use words. It was kind of interesting. We finish up and the waiter asks if we wanted dessert. Both of us say “Nao” and we get the bill: It was R$133, or $40. One of my knocks on Brazil, compared to other destinations like Thailand or Colombia, is that food is relatively expensive. Almost the same price as I would pay in the USA. My BF has warned me about this so I budgeted accordingly. This meal will hardly break the bank, and it was a fitting last dinner for what was an intense and fun Brazil trip for me. It is also fitting that I share my last dinner in Brazil with a sauna boy. I pay with my credit card (haven’t had problems using it, or my ATM, in the country). Before we leave, Gabriel shows me his phone. It was Google Translate, asking me if I wanted to go anywhere else. I shake my head and say “apartamento” as we open our umbrellas to shield us from the light rain. Even with the skies opening up, there were still a lot of people in the various bars that we walked past on the way home. I was slightly disappointed by the weather here in Rio in my last three days. But with such excellent company presently, I hardly had any cause for complaint. As we get to the apartment gate, we get buzzed in by the doorman, so I did not need to use my key. No issues getting Gabriel in, as we exchange “Boa noites” with the doorman on our way to the elevator. We get to the unit and and as I fiddle with the keys to unlock the door, Gabriel puts his hands on my shoulders, gentling massaging them. He was ready to head in as well to continue our night. I finally unlock the door. Gabriel immediately takes off his shirt. He is getting comfortable. He sits on the couch and checks his phone. I sit beside him and he leans over to kiss. We make out for a bit and then he starts taking off my shirt. I toss it over to the side and go over and sit on his lap and keep on kissing. His hands explore my back for a bit as put my hands on face. I whisper “Quarto?” to his ear. He answers me by picking me up! That was unexpected. He maneuvers both of us to the bedroom and he lays me down on the bed. He takes off my shorts, and then he starts taking off his. I can already see my prize: that big bulge that is barely contained in his speedos. My eyes drift for a bit to the wall behind Gabriel and see the clock. It was 10:45 PM. Almost time for Gabriel to leave. As he lies down beside me, I look at the window and see outside that the rain still pouring down on Ipanema. Then a crazy idea popped in my head. I retrieve my shorts from the floor and find my phone. I type something in Google Translate that was MISTAKE #2: “Do you want to stay here tonight? It is still raining and the bed is comfortable.” He looks at me and says “Yes!” in English. I was not thinking clearly. I was not expecting company tonight, especially a garoto, so all my stuff was just strewn everywhere in the house. I was not thinking about the dangers of having a working boy in my room, especially in Brazil. All the warnings in this forum, all the precautions given by my friends, and all the research I’ve made about crime here, all that went out the window, into the soaked streets of Rio, draining onto the south Atlantic. And how could any mortal think clearly, under these heavenly circumstances, in the presence of angels. So, a bonus post, more sex, and more mistakes, next…

A new Gay sauna is tentively scheduled to open in Rio in a week, Friday March 2, it was formally a straight sauna and was sold to Acir the Owner of Meo Mundo. the location is literally a block from the main terminal at Santos Dumont Airport (SDU) it is 3 blocks from the Candalareia stop on the metro, Here are some photos taken today! It has 2 bar areas 4 executive suites and 12 regular rooms which means they a total of 16 rooms more then any other sauna!

Tom, you mean Cinelandia Metro stop ... Candelaria is the VLT stop near New Meio Mundo. The nearest VLT stop to 215 Beira Mar is Antonio Carlos if you are hitting the club after sights further north on the VLT line. Anyway, interesting.

Here is the new logo photos

@RockHardjust sent me a PM with very opposite attesting info to what I posted. I publicly apologize for my above post. What I was, evidently in a far too compressed manner, trying to point to was a kind of heroic individualism. Which I admire. I still don't know if I step away from my original post though. Possibly I was only projecting my own current personal situation onto his entirely separate life. (He and I know each other only through posts and some PMs here.)

the address is: Av. Beira mar , 216. Centro, Rio

In Life, sometimes, you just have to take one for the Team !

that is so true! I have been staying at the same apt. in Ipanema for the past 6 years and about 3 years ago a guy from the forum who i didn’t know, i told about where i stay and why and he asked me for the contact info and i gave it to him because he said he was going the next month and I wasn’t so i give it to him! turns out he wasn’t going when he said and ended up booking it for the same week i wanted it! so i don’t give any info re the apt.to anyone anymore.

Hmmm is anyone on the ground and able to provide regular reports from Friday... lol

if you read my report on it you will see Bar Fama doesn’t get going until after Midnight! so you can easily do both and have time for dinner in between! whether or not it is a busy night on the days you are there what difference does it make? it’s you only choice so go! it is better then sitting in your hotel room alone at a minimum you will have anywhere from 12 - 15 guys available even on the slowest night!

You are right Sorry. it is about 3 blocks from CINELANDIA metro stop! thanks!!

Good writing and suspense, though the salmon overcooked is predctable BTW ... Über to bus terminus by Central Metro about 25 reais ... transfer to all-night bus to Sao Gonçalo.

Personally, I would only give contact info on a good apartment to a friend or someone I trust, and not just to some rando on a message board on the Internet. When they might book the place is not my greatest concern. What I’m more cautious about is how they might treat the place or how they might abuse the unspoken or spoken rules of the place — which could affect others’ ability to rent that place freely in the future. If I know you and trust you, then sure. If not, then do your research like everyone else. So, I guess I treat this info about apartments the same as I do for men that I might meet. I have become fairly good friends with the owner of one of the places I rent regularly in Ipanema. If I were to recommend his place to someone, and that someone abused the place or caused grief, my chances of staying there again would be diminished. And the only response I’d have is, “I didn’t know the guy either. He was just some rando on the Internet!”

The fact that he emailed you to dispell your theory is positive proof that he CARES about what people think of him, and clearly he wants to perpetuate his online persona of a dominant, in control know-it-all with disdain for everyone around him that he feels beneath him. The guy is one-note. The guy is a FRAUD. The guy is a tired cliche'. One day you will all SEE it ! And I am sorry Adam, but I have never known you to be intimidated by anyone, until now. I certainly wouldnt let his personal pvt influence your opinion. It is obvious that he is looking for you to be his ally here, because man cannot live by LUCKY alone.

When Life Hands You Lemons....Stuff em in your Panties !

Fair enough!

$50 per night in Copa will be a DUMP if you even find that...thats really, really low, even for Rio Depending on the season and how high up the apartment is, noise should not be a problem... Also, when researching look at reviews and make sure it is not just based on location... My apartment during New Years had a great location, steps away from the beach and the metro but NOISY as fuck and I was on the 5th floor but facing the street Black out curtains...Good luck A/C and wifi shouldnt be an issue... AirBnB has some great deals going on right now... I booked for early March, October and New Years week

Haha... Good luck. I think that this is the most secret information in this forum. I have never seen a user posting suggestions of an Airbnb place (there's just one recent exception, from a user who suggested a couple of guys who has some good apartments in Copa and Ipa listed on Airbnb). Rsrsrs people don't want to run the risk of having their favorite apartments occupied during their planned stay in Brazil

Numazu1, i think this was the most detailed report i have ever read on here! i am impressed because my short term memory is shot! Example, when i was in São Paulo last month on my first night in Brazil i went to Lagoa with Acir the owner of Meo Mundo and three days later he was showing some photos and i said “Who’s that?” He looks at me incredulously and says”he was the first man guy you did at Lagoa last Friday!”. i go “What? i don’t know him!” he starts laughing and then says “you said how much fun he was described his dick in depth!”!! LOL So again Congrats on a great report!

But NMM will be shuttered, no? Tom?

That would require a Cristal ball. A new place might completely throw a spanner in the works of our well oiled Monday at 202, Tuesday at 117, Wednesday back at 202, etc. Or it might not at all, and Manhattan Rio might be busy on a slow day in the other 2 places. You are asking for something than I don’t think can be predicted!

Here is another video made a couple years ago, both of these guys were a lot of fun, Jacksin passed away last year, at 24 of a brain aneurysm, he was a really nice guy with beautiful green eyes, I had been with him a number of times during the past 5 years prior to his death. The other guy is a wild man in bed first met him around 2011 0r 12, they both made a number of films. https://www.xvideos.com/video22690443/1079
