I would be slightly more tolerant than thinking of banning anyone. Let me try my way to say it, I think I am tuned with those criticizing @Badboy81's post. If you want to be negative in a not constructive way, just to spit your disgust for someone or for something, please feel free to do it. But suck it up when you are called out as the negative asshole you are, without bringing freedom of speech to the table. Just suck it up.

How is that possible....my tricks always end up in your room,lol

this is certainly not a scientific survey but i have(knock on wood) never had a STD! and i have done a lot with a lot of guys! Although Floidarob has done way more then me!

The risk is two sided, for them as well, no?

One thing I have noticed, esp. on the A Newbie's visit to Brazil, and other threads is the clever gif's that you guys and others find. Where the fuck do you get these things? The suck it up gif on that thread, almost made me laugh till I pissed my britches. Come on guys, is there a repository somewhere for this shit?

1. Keep the cash in your locker. I like to carry my iPhone, and I do it in my hand. 2. 117 is right around the corner from the Gloria Metro station. The neighborhood is not unsafe — especially if you are just going in the well-traveled path directly from the metro station to the sauna and back. But if you are a Nervous Nelly or if you think you stick out like a sore thumb as a target, then just Uber it after dark. You might have gotten 117 confused with 203, which is in a decent area of Copa and right down the street from the Siguero Campos Metro, but if you make the wrong walking or driving turn , you’ll end up going up a hill to the favela — and you don’t want to do that. Especially not a Nervous Nelly turista who looks like a gringo! 3. I can’t help you there. You really should be taking the same precautions you do at a Brazilian sauna that you would during a casual sexual encounter in your hometown or anywhere else. 4. All of the saunas you mentioned have free WiFi access in certain common areas of the clubs. Ask an employee or the front desk for the network and customer password. But Google Translate works without WiFi if you preloaded language dictionaries. And you should consider getting an unlimited cellular data plan for your international travels as well — that way you can use apps (like translators or WhatsApp) without WiFi. Hope this helps.

Some things just really arent worth making such a fuss over....

I agree... Same good Monday of all the weeks. Of course I am not sure if in MR they were having some guys from 117 which was closed. But I don't think so. I have been asking 2 garotos I know from 117 if they were going and they told me they were not. Can be a lie of course.

I have logged several months overall of living within a 10-minute walking distance to the Gloria/CandidoDeMendes intersection without incident. I tend to feel more on guard walking from Tonelero up Siqueira Campos to 202, likely because there is theoretically more foot traffic between the favela and the Metro station, and later at night there is a short span without much of a sidewalk crowd. Car hijackings do occur in the city, but the chances overall are obviously quite low. When I take an Über, however, I sit in the front passenger seat so that I am not telegraphing "Hey, this is a tourist in an Über."

I was at 202 last night and it seemed as busy as usual

Lucky, if this happens, let me know. I'd even fly back to the states for this!

The answers to some of your concerns depend on how savvy you are as a traveler and a player. I am guessing you don't play much in your hometown and you don't travel overseas much. HPV -- There is HPV in every country. How do you handle your HPV concern in your home country? I suppose you never hire any escort or go to a sex club or have sex with strangers in your home country. Wifi -- Buy a Brazilian sim card or use your home country sim card with international roaming. And you will have internet connection everywhere while in Brazil. Do you really want to rely exclusively on establishments' free wifi? Club117 area safety -- many members on this forum take metro there, but Uber is cheap and safe if you don't feel comfortable with public transportation.

About tips: tips are an American thing, where you supposed to tip everybody, is very moderate in Europe and non-existent in Asia. In Brazil, which is obviously the case here, you tip the waiter that serves you food and the hotel worker that carries your bags, that's about it. If you are in a bar, sat on a table for drinks, an additional 10% will be included on your bill anyway, you should no go any further than that. If you are in a bar and you go to the counter order a beer or whatever, you pay exclusively for the cost of the drink, bartenders don't get tipped by Brazilians, unlike they get tipped by Europeans and definitely not by Asians. In a sauna, for example, if you tip the help, you are being very gracious, they are not counting on it. I've worked for tips in NYC for many years and me and my co-workers knew in advance if we would get a tip or not. In a crowded disco, for example, Asians, included the many ones that were born in the States and were aware of the culture, would be served last, regardless of time they reached the bar counter, because the staff knew that tips would not happen. If you are in Brazil, if food is not involved, tip if you feel like. Important: cab drivers are not tipped by Brazilians ever!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logorrhea_(psychology) Logorrhea (psychology) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This article is about the psychological term. For the linguistic and stylistic term, see Logorrhoea (rhetoric). In psychology, logorrhea or logorrhoea (from Ancient Greek λόγος logos "word" and ῥέω rheo "to flow") is a communication disorder that causes excessive wordiness and talkativeness, which can sometimes lead to incoherency. Logorrhea is sometimes classified as a mental illness and can result from a variety of psychiatric and neurological disorders[1] including aphasia,[2] localized cortical lesions in the thalamus,[3][4] mania,[citation needed] or most typically in catatonic schizophrenia.[citation needed] Examples of logorrhea might include talking or mumbling monotonously, either to others, or more likely to oneself. This may include the repetition of particular words or phrases, often incoherently. The causes of logorrhea remain poorly understood, but appear to be localized to frontal lobe structures known to be associated with language. As is the case, for example, in emotional lability in a wide variety of neurological conditions, other symptoms take priority in clinical management and research efforts. Other symptoms include excessive talking, words that avoid any logic or reason, words that may offend other people and random words which hearers may ascribe unintended meaning to.

Exactly! More for them, as the little bit of research existing suggests that up to 20% of men who pay for sex are found to have an STI on routine consultation, without necessarily having had telltale symptoms. Male commercial sex workers also tend to be more lax than female sex workers, and the research suggests that up to 40% of male sex workers not on the street would spot-test positive for an STI, a higher rate than for female sex workers and for men who have non-commercial sex with men. But many of those transmissions were contracted from clients, not difficult math given the volume of tricks turned. These estimates are at the high end of confidence intervals. In other words, the true rates are likely lower, or depends on the group and other factors, but these figures are still sobering. And in your face at the clubs the big head can see the potential chain of transmission on full display even if the little head is clueless. I myself fellate without a condom some of the time, but I get tested regularly, am immune against HepB, and take PreP when sexually active, just for good measure though it is far less imperative. In a foreign country I do not want to deal with the local system in the event of accidental exposure. I would suggest the most important precaution in the travel sex playbook is to be immune against Hepatitis B, by vaccination, or you may have previous exposure and clearance. I caught HepB and was extremely ill through protected sex many years ago, via the kissing part. It is not a wimpy virus in terms of transmission. Acute HepB can be very serious, even kill. I have had none of the more garden-variety STIs that can be acquired in the saunas in Brazil. I consider this to be luck more than smarts. We probably most of us have HPV.

Interesting questions... 1. Leave the cash in your locker...they have cameras and everything in your locker will be safe 2. Take an uder or taxi if you want but 117 is a 3-5 minute walk from the metro and the neighborhood is very safe 3. If you have to ask this question, use protection....why even risk your health if you are asking before you even get to Rio... I never have had unprotected sex in the Rio saunas (and would be leery as hell of any body open to raw sex) and as far as oral sex, never gotten anything in Rio...Most of the guys are very safe but not sure how much body fluid you plan to exchange, I would wrap it up to be on the safe side 4. WIFI is all over Rio and in all the saunas

Thanks for the great read and visuals.

Now that I know this is Oz's website, Ill definitely watch what I type and how I say it so that I don't irritate him...Honestly didn't know he was the one running things...

I met Justin Fit in nyc recently. He is from Lyon and you can find him on rentmen or planetromeo. He might be in Geneva now but you may want to check. Great hot bottom boy.

LMAO...Of course not, but my neighbor's grandson is in the Notre Dame Glee Club and invited myself and eleven others to dinner and drinks first, then on to the concert. It was on her dime. Dinner and drinks were delish and and the boys from Notre Dame cute. The concert had it's moments, but other than that, I would have stayed home... (yes I'm that shallow)

But it all hangs ( ) on how we individually USE the images!

You just have to be creative with the search words. Make a google search with any combination your are looking for and add "gifs". For instance: "suck it up gifs", and google it. Click on Pictures and choose your favorite. There are also several gifs banks, the one I use the most is: https://wifflegif.com I feel like giving away all my secrets for free. Where would Coca-Cola bee if I would have been the one inventing the formula?

Who's who and the question of tipping housestaff: Gratuities are, of course, optional and appreciated. The mix of staff, generally, is: -Reception for computerized account, keys, payment, sometimes the towel/flipflop dispensing -Bartenders -Management troubleshooting types floating around -Music/show coordinator -Suite cleaners, sometimes also floating as locker attendants -Locker-room attendants, sometimes the towel/flipflop dispensing Are cash gratuities pooled and shared amongst the total group or any subgroup? No, it's each man/woman for himself. Me, I am a modest tipper and my focus is the cleaners and attendants. Per visit, i dispense single cincos. This is typically 10 total for the 2 women at 202; 20-25 total to the locker attendants, the 2 women supervising the suites and the floater cleaning the overall premises and some suites at 117. Overall, on any one more extended Rio visit these low wage earners may benefit more from me personally than many GdePs I sample. But anyone cleaning up my poopy cummy condoms deserves a tad extra, in my view. To each his own. Have a safe, prosperous, and fun-filled visit.

In the end, we all have mommy and daddy issues that arise. Right Grandma?

You almost had me here, but your last comment took it to "Daddy" territory, and that aint cute ! But perhaps that was "weed" induced as well, so ill just overlook it and move along...

I totally agree.

There are no rentboys available in gay bars in France. At least I never saw one. But there are many gay places where you can have fun such as saunas (Suncity, Euro Men's club and Sauna Odessa if you want to find a younger guy liking older gentlemen), sex clubs (l'Impact (all male, all naked, all night); Keller (leather, > 40 years old), Le Dépot (sex club and disco), all types, all ages), Bars or show places (Bear's Den or Banana Café or shower show with gogo boys in Raidd bar). I guess that some of the dancers in Banana and Raidd can be rentboys (I met in a Brazilian sauna one boy who used to dance in Banana Café and he told me he escorted a few times). Not easy to discuss with the dancers anyway. Enjoy your time in France !

Miss Rippon graced us with her appearance on WWHL with Andy Cohen (Bravo TV)and the after show last night. Giving us diva affectation and "gay face", she attempted to be fierce and witty, but clearly isnt the experienced "media darling" shes cracked up to be. Andy kept drooling and fawning over Adam like a Daddy stalking his new twink prey, and Adam let us know his type is a guy "who goes to the gym and has a job".... Rivetting ! Clearly girl loves the camera, AND the attention, but has a long way to go before she reaches the Fabulousity of Johnny Weir., whom she thinks is jealous of her and all the attention she is getting.. If you ask Grandma, Adam is less a "media darling" and more the bitchy queen at a bar who spends the night making fun of the Old, ugly guys....... I give this one maybe 20 minutes before the lights dim.... https://youtu.be/LtqHnoHMQOY

Perhaps his spotlight seeking harness was a nod to his Gay Porn "future" ? I mean, there's always room for another flaming power bottom, Right ?

he's even better in person ;-)
