i just got back from 9 days in Rio and 2 days in São Paulo. I stayed in a different apartment then i have the last 7 years as the one i usually get was unavailable. That turned out to be very good for me! the new apt is across the street from the beach at Posto 8 about a block from the Fasano Hotel, it is on the main floor and has a very large deck with many large trees with families of Marmosets that come down to the deck looking for food in the late afternoon and provided a lot of fun watching their antics! The one downside i thought originally was that it is a one Bedroom and one Bathroom and their would be 4 to 6 of us staying there on any given day! My other place was a 2bedr/2bath and much roomier, but this place when the 2 large Slider doors are opened and becomes a large living room,bedroom,outdoor deck area ! this place will now become my first choice. the owner lives in the place next door but i never saw him from the time i got there until 5 minutes before i left! i was surprised how much i did like MR sauna , especially given that the upstairs bar has a low ceiling since i am 6’4” but i did have 1” clearance! i particularly liked that bar because it kind of reminds me of a English Pub! also it’s much quieter and easy to care on conversations in this room. All the suites are very clean! one suite has a jacuzzi tub that accomodated 4 of us!

WTF does this have to do with my report on my april trip Riobard/Bobbolino? This should be under its own subject whatever that may be...

Regardless of the Century, PUBLIC service is always something I ass-pire to !

Friday is their 2nd best night Monday is their best! On Friday when i arrived Acir threw a party for me(we have been friends since 2002 when he lived in Miami and 4 years before he bought Meo Mundo) there were 48 “boys” and 47 Clients there but i think that was not typical for a Friday! and it was packed with that many people there! there were quite a few new guys there! Have a great time!!

A favela tour of a few years ago it's not the same favela tour nowadays. The violence in Rio escaleted exponentially, to the point that is shocking the rest of the country, the federal government adopted security measures never seen before, so far without any effect. Just last month an European tourist got killed by a stray bullet, while doing one of the popular tours with a licensed guide. In the last 2 weeks 14 people got killed at Rocinha favela. The violence seems specially bad at "tourist friendly" favelas of Rio's zona sul (south district). If anyone think this is an exciting experience hopefully it won't exceed the expectations.

A favela tour can be quite educational. We talk about the poor and even offer sympathy and money. But rarely do we see life from their view. I was amazed at what I saw and learned on a tour a few years back. I agree that if you are treating it like visiting a petting zoo then it is not a good idea. But go with a desire to know more, even if just about where many of the garotos live. But I took a small tour led by a private guide. It was very much worth my time.

Having TRUMP stuffed down our throats on a daily basis, is a fate WORSE than death by sponge suffocation.

And, men from Sardinia were the best hung men in the Roman Army. Humm.. https://www.gaypopbuzz.com/swallowing-ancient-roman-army/

50 years later, the Los Angeles Times today does a retrospective of the year 1968. What I remember is the assassinations, the police brutality at the Democratic Convention, the advent of hippies, and the last of the real idealists who supported McCarthy for President. But for Boytoy, why not remember the cute actors pictured in the Times piece? A big movie that year was Romeo and Juliet. Here we see very cute Leonard Whiting... Some might have liked Brahim Hagglag in The Battle of Algiers. Peter O'Toole in The Lion in Winter... Well, okay, there weren't likely any big Asian actors in 1968, but this guy would have won my heart! Manish Dayal... Now how many actors from 1968 did you lust for? (You had to be alive then to make a suggestion!)

Someone directly asked about events this weekend ... I had happened to see one earlier today, on netgay. It is when MR is closed. It got somewhat "overposted", true. I thought visitors might like to know about these regular events, and it is rare to find porn clips. If you still think it is irrelevant, so be it. I would be happy to censor it if I could. I also grasp now that the question seemed to be directed to you specifically. So that is wtf ... you be the judge. You asked, you also made a valid suggestion I won't re-post it. Members here can look these things up on netgay. That site is referenced here a few times. I initially mentioned the model in the ad to explain the absence of his hole on Sunday. He may be at nearby Sao Bento church services. What is in the water lately? Not cachaça.

That model appears in the Brit reality show called Bromans. Silly show but with heaps of eye candies.

I have not been to these ... there is a blogspot, and a few short ass-fuck clips from the xnxx vid site. The model in this photo is a Brit, just the usual ad agenda.

No surprise a quarter century on Netflix picks him up. If a certain clever, genteel, North Carolinian writer is tuning in here ... greetings and salutations! But maybe the moon is a bit of a reach in this regard.

Also aware of the trends and dangers Gotti refers to, they influence my decisions. The woman who died was killed because the patrolling police elected to use the tourist vehicle for target practice when the driver got confused and drove through an ambiguous checkpoint. My greatest fear is buying it prematurely because of someone's sheer stupidity ... poor judgment, someone driving while intexticated, inability to see grey, anything like that. Also, I simply do not know if a community rep is a prepackaged talking head or a more spontaneously recruited addition to the tour. Are they a fundamentalist radical homophobe at the same time they lament the challenges and governmental/societal treatment of the poor? How safe would it be to drill down provocatively, as I am wont to do? The tourist mishap is rare ... that and other factors are filters I employ looking at the menu.

In the 1993 March in NYC, I randomly found myself walking alongside Armistead Maupin. Whom I certainly had known to that time only through his work. We struck up a (very warm, immediately intimate; he was beautiful that way) convo,. One of my several high points from that day.

Generally, in Eastern Europe I don’t indulge my hobby. I go for significant amounts of hiking and mountain biking. Ukraine and Poland may be a different story. In Ljubljana I was told by younger people I met that: Montenegro is summer was not to be missed. Not tourist-infested yet. Sarajevo has great food. Belgrade is the new Berlin. Bulgaria has great food and stunning scenery. The Black Sea is being discovered by Western Europeans. Bucharest is interesting. Ditto, Albania. I don’t think I can fit Albania in to this trip.

Excellent...I fly to Rio tomorrow....Is Friday a good day to check out MR Sauna? I know that I am going to 117 but would definitely like to try the new one... Any events going on this weekend that you know of? Glad you have a great trip

I used Urban Adventure for my favela tour and I enjoyed it. They are rated well on tripadvisor. I did it coupled with the Christ the Redemmer & Corcavado. One item to note is that I did it in 2015. http://www.riodejaneirourbanadventures.com/

Did you know that, if convicted of some crime in the late Roman republic -- usually political, or otherwise something that would be publicly put about -- and one was a 'noble', or even an ordinary citizen with 'means', the honorable thing to do was to ask to go to the private latrine, then stuff this sponge down one's own windpipe, so as to induce irreversible suffocation. Suicide being the 'honorable' exit path. What a world. That world was part of what Jeshua bar Joseph was trying to free us of. And then Paul was too. At what ended up being fatal cost to himself.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanitation_in_ancient_Rome Sanitation in ancient Rome From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Sanitation in ancient Rome was well advanced compared to other ancient cities and was providing water supply and sanitation services to residents of Rome. Sewer systems The latrines are the best-preserved feature at Housesteads Roman Fort on Hadrian's Wall. The soldiers sat on wooden boards with holes, which covered one big trench. Water ran in a big ditch at the soldiers' feet. A system of eleven Roman aqueducts provided the inhabitants of Rome with water of varying quality, the best being reserved for potable supplies. Poorer-quality water was used in public baths and in latrines. Latrine systems have been found in many places, such as Housesteads, a Roman fort on Hadrian's Wall, in Pompeii, Herculaneum, and elsewhere that flushed waste away with a stream of water. It is commonly believed the Romans used sea sponges on a stick & dipped in vinegar after defecation, but the practice is only attested to once.[1] The Romans had a complex system of sewers covered by stones, much like modern sewers. Waste flushed from the latrines flowed through a central channel into the main sewage system and thence into a nearby river or stream. However, it was not uncommon for Romans to throw waste out of windows into the streets (at least according to Roman satirists). Despite this, Roman waste management is admired for its innovation. It is estimated that the first sewers of ancient Rome were built between 800 and 735 BC. Drainage systems evolved slowly, and began primarily as a means to drain marshes and storm runoff. The sewers were mainly for the removal of surface drainage and underground water.[2] The sewage system as a whole did not really take off until the arrival of the Cloaca Maxima, an open channel that was later covered, and one of the best-known sanitation artifacts of the ancient world. Most sources believe it was built during the reign of the three Etruscan kings in the sixth century BC. This "greatest sewer" of Rome was originally built to drain the low-lying land around the Forum. It is not known how effective the sewers were, especially in removing excrement.[3] From very early times the Romans, in imitation of the Etruscans, built underground channels to drain rainwater that might otherwise wash away precious topsoil, used ditches to drain swamps (such as the Pontine Marshes), and dug subterranean channels to drain marshy areas. Over time, the Romans expanded the network of sewers that ran through the city and linked most of them, including some drains, to the Cloaca Maxima, which emptied into the Tiber River. The Cloaca Maxima was built in the fourth century BC, and was largely reconstructed and enclosed under the authority of Agrippa as an aedile in 33 BC.[4] It still drains the Forum Romanum and surrounding hills. Strabo, a Greek author who lived from about 60 BC to AD 24, admired the ingenuity of the Romans in his Geographica, writing: The sewers, covered with a vault of tightly fitted stones, have room in some places for hay wagons to drive through them. And the quantity of water brought into the city by aqueducts is so great that rivers, as it were, flow through the city and the sewers; almost every house has water tanks, and service pipes, and plentiful streams of water...In short, the ancient Romans gave little thought to the beauty of Rome because they were occupied with other, greater and more necessary matters. A law was eventually passed to protect innocent bystanders from assault by wastes thrown into the street. The violator was forced to pay damages to whomever his waste hit, if that person sustained an injury. This law was enforced only in the daytime, it is presumed because one then lacked the excuse of darkness for injuring another by careless waste disposal. Around AD 100, direct connections of homes to sewers began, and the Romans completed most of the sewer system infrastructure. Sewers were laid throughout the city, serving public and some private latrines, and also served as dumping grounds for homes not directly connected to a sewer. It was mostly the wealthy whose homes were connected to the sewers, through outlets that ran under an extension of the latrine. Public latrines In general, poorer residents used pots that they were supposed to empty into the sewer, or visited public latrines. Public latrines date back to the 2nd century BC. Whether intentionally or not, they became places to socialise. Long bench-like seats with keyhole-shaped openings cut in rows offered little privacy. Some latrines were free, for others small charges were made.[5] According to Lord Amulree, the site where Julius Caesar was assassinated, the Hall of Curia in the Theatre of Pompey, was turned into a public latrine because of the dishonor it had witnessed. The sewer system, like a little stream or river, ran beneath it, carrying the waste away to the Cloaca Maxima. The Romans recycled public bath waste water by using it as part of the flow that flushed the latrines. Terra cotta piping was used in the plumbing that carried waste water from homes. The Romans were the first to seal pipes in concrete to resist the high water pressures developed in siphons and elsewhere. Beginning around the 5th century BC, aediles, among their other functions, supervised the sanitary systems. They were also responsible for the efficiency of the drainage and sewage systems, the cleansing of the streets, prevention of foul smells, and general oversight of baths. The Romans were not so big on privacy the stalls had no dividers. In the first century AD, the Roman sewage system was very efficient. In his Natural History, Pliny remarked that of all the things Romans had accomplished, the sewers were "the most noteworthy things of all". Aqueducts Remains of aqueducts Aqua Claudia and Anio Novus, integrated into the Aurelian Wall Main article: Roman aqueducts The aqueducts provided the large volumes of water that—after serving drinking, bathing, and other needs—flushed through the sewers. A system of eleven aqueducts supplied the city with water from as far away as the river Anio. Anio Novus and Aqua Claudia were two of the biggest systems. The distribution system was carefully designed so that all waste water drained into the Cloaca Maxima. The management and maintenance involved in keeping the aqueducts flowing is well described by Frontinus, a general appointed by the emperor Nerva as water commissioner toward the end of the first century AD. He described his work on the distribution system in De aquaeductu published at the end of the first century AD. When first appointed, he surveyed and mapped the entire system, and strove to investigate the many abuses of the water supply, such as the act of tapping into pipes illegally. He also systematized aqueduct maintenance with gangs of specially trained workmen. He also tried to separate the supply, so that the best-quality water went to drinking and cooking, while second-quality water flowed to the fountains, baths, and, finally, sewers. Pont du Gard in France The system in Rome was copied in all provincial towns and cities of the Roman Empire, and even down to villas that could afford the plumbing. Roman citizens came to expect high standards of hygiene, and the army was also well provided with latrines and bath houses, or thermae. Aqueducts were used everywhere in the empire not just to supply drinking water for private houses but to supply other needs such as irrigation, public fountains, and thermae. Indeed, many of the provincial aqueducts survive in working order to the present day, although modernized and updated. Of the eleven ancient aqueducts serving Rome, eight of them entered Rome close to each other on the Esquiline Hill.[6] Also, the first aqueduct was the Aqua Appia built in 312 BC by the censor Appius.[6] Other aqueducts of importance to Roman sanitation was the Aqua Marcia built between 144-140 BC, which provided large amounts of quality water to Rome.[7] One Aqueduct with some major importance to Rome was Traiana, which tapped from the clear springs of the northern and western slopes above lake Bracciano.[7] It is said that the “Romans fully appreciated the importance of plentiful and wholesome supply of water, for domestic purposes to health of the Community.[8] It was stated by Amulree that for 441 years after the building of Rome, it depended on water from the Tiber for drinking and other domestic purposes, but in 312 BC Appius Claudius Crassus provide Rome with water from the Springs of the Alban hills and brought to consumers by the means of Aqueducts.[8] The Amulree notes state that this practice is in line with the teachings of Hippocrates: that stagnant water should be refused, not the spring water from the hills or rain water.[8] Roman rubbish was often left to collect in alleys between buildings in the poor districts of the city. It sometimes became so thick that stepping stones were needed. "Unfortunately its functions did not include house-to-house garbage collection, and this led to indiscriminate refuse dumping, even to the heedless tossing of trash from windows." [9] As a consequence, the street level in the city rose, as new buildings were constructed on top of rubble and rubbish. Health impacts Although there were many sewers, public latrines, baths and other sanitation infrastructure, disease was still rampant. Most dwellings were not connected to street drains or sewers. Some apartment buildings (insulae) might have had a latrine and a fountain on the ground floor. This didn't stop the residents on the upper floors from dumping their waste onto the street. There was no street cleaning service in Rome. Thus, the neighborhoods were plagued with disease.[10] The baths are known to symbolise the "great hygiene of Rome." Although the baths may have made the Romans smell good, they were a cesspool of disease. Doctors commonly prescribed their patients a bath. Consequently, the diseased and healthy sometimes bathed together. The sick generally preferred to visit the baths during the afternoon or night to avoid the healthy, but the baths were not constantly being cleaned. This means the healthy who bathe the next day might catch the disease from the sick who bathed the previous day.[10] Latrines could be found in many places such as in baths, forts and the colosseum. The Romans wiped themselves after defecating with a sea sponge on a stick named tersorium.[11] This was shared by all of those using the latrine. To clean the sponge, they simply washed it in a bucket with water and salt or vinegar.[12] This became a breeding ground for bacteria, causing the spread of disease in the latrine.[10]

So today (Monday) I found myself back at Lagoa around 7pm. They have discounted admission of 50 real Mon-Wed, free cabins and 15 real rooms. FYI, the cabins are really awful - I asked to look at one and they do not even have sheets! So, clearly they are out of the question. The standard rooms are fine, (even if they are small and without a bathroom). Guillherme was writing me all day asking if I was going to come tonight. I hesitated to commit because I wasn’t sure if I wanted to repeat with him so soon. When I got there it was extremely slow - a handful of garotos and clients. Guillerherme found me quickly and we went to the steam room to drink and chill out. Even though he says he prefers to be activo, our chemistry is better with me on top. It was an enjoyable programa, but I felt like he was more enthusiastic last time. I was hungry, so I asked him to join me for dinner. While eating, he introduced me to his younger brother Bernardo. I was intrigued. Were they really brothers, or was this a marketing ploy? Certainly they looked like they could be related, even though Bernardo is taller and more beefy. Both have distinctly handsome faces, uncut cocks, and a shared love of Louis Vuitton messenger bags. Guillerhme goes off with another client, and I go to the empty jacuzzi. Bernardo soon joins me in the buff. His cock is thicker but shorter than his brothers, with a meatier head. He begins to massage me...we start talking in spanish...he tells me their mother died young and shows me a tattoo in her honor, says Guillerhme used to be a soccer player with a Brazilian team until a horrible leg injury ended his career, and that he is bisexual. I ask him if most of the garotos prefer women and he says no...at least half are gay or bi. He suggests a programa, but I’m slightly hesitant. I ask him if Guillerhme would mind. He says no, and in fact they have done a programa together with another client before. Bernardo is very cariñoso with me, and kisses sensually and passionately. I was really blown away. He is activo only and almost makes love rather than just fucks me. And he takes his time - and looks like he is truly enjoying himself. He came shortly after me...easily one of the best programas I have had in Brazil so far... I go to the gym to work out after, and Bernardo comes in and does a nude workout with me. Guillerherme finds me later, and seems a bit agitated. Not because I just fucked with his brother, but because I gave Bernardo 30 more reals than him. I explain Bernardo came and he didn’t, and I also spent 60 reals on food and drinks for Guillerhme. This seems to appease him somewhat, but he tells me next time he wants the same as Bernardo. He seems suspicious that I like Bernardo more than him now, and asks me who is better in bed. I tell him both are equally good lovers...

"Orally servicing well-built, muscular guys with thick bananas was considered a sign of bravery if you were a soldier in ancient Rome. And the larger the man’s sausage, the manlier you were viewed." I make a motion to bring back THIS tradition in America... It would be the thing that totally makes America GREAT again ! (except, can we please have a SPIT bucket ?) inRe

Well. If swallowing was one of the criteria for promotion, I guess I would be a 5-star marshall
