Can quote tomcal 100%. BB sex between Garotos in "x-ways" is common, the guys know and trust each other. Many guys once they know you and if they like you (physically), will offer BB sex. Just decline the offer if you're not into it. As I said, I have personally seen many of the regulars I am spending time with in RJ or SP, taking prep. The percentage increases between the guys who are openly gay or bisexual. For sure, I wanna add something obvious... having BB sex with a sex worker that you don't know while you are not taking prep and testing regularly is a very stupid thing. I can also tell you that in Bogotá and Medellín I was offered BB sex from the 95% of the guys.

I think it depends more on how well they know the client. For the last 2 or 3 years I have been offered bareback sex by sauna guys who regularly work Pointe and 117 and I am not asking, I would estimate 75% of the time! I say no that's ok let's use them, but I don't get into to conversations about as to why they are offering. Also better then 1/2 the 3 and 4 ways when they are doing each other it is usually condomless! So the old adage "being forwarned is being forwarded" or something like that! (The guys in Mexico have also gotten very free about condomless sex)

That is very strange and would automatically make me not want to deal with said sauna worker...if they are out here risking their own lives, that means they are also willing to risk the lives of others....

But shouldn't you have known better being somebody that did watch your friends die from AIDS related complications? If they are so eager to have you do that with them, assume you arent the only one....

any news on Super A, Golden Cock, Nature Boy - still open?

Just a small request, please. This discussion is very interesting, but I can understand the trends (eg anecdotal reports here) better if reference is made to when the BB offer or proposal from the Brasileiro is receptive anal (he bottoms), insertive anal (he tops), or perhaps reciprocal. ————- Most ‘garotos’ I select identify as ‘ativo’ exclusively but I am flexible about ‘versatil’ role. I always at some point put on a condom because “you never know” if they will accept receptive, as long as they do not have to explicitly verbally agree. It is fascinating to witness the reactions. Usually they freak out and I have to calm down the drama. What is particularly amusing is the idea that I could subdue and pin down any of these guys. I assume their vehement protest is related to my apparent bold assumption they “look” or “behave” gay enough to take it up the ass after all. However, some will go down on it, with the condom on me, although that had not been part of the sealed deal. A renowned exclusive top at 117 I have gone with for a few years recently shocked me by allowing me to frottage between his perfect butt cheeks with his face smooshed down on the mattress, with me wearing a condom. Sometimes edging a little beyond the forbidden is half the fun. ——- More on topic, I have had no BB offers among any of encounters now having reached 3 figures. PrEP uptake that is governmentally financed is a huge hurdle among the “straight” working guys. They are required to go to the relevant health station and declare that they are either having sex with men or are doing commercial sex work presumably with male clientele. There is no face-saving box to tick off, ie, “just a gigolo”.

Well I always use condoms --100%. Recently two friends who are on PREP were in Rio and they really wanted to have bareback sex and they had a hard time finding garotos who were in to that--and their impression was that all the garotos played with condoms only. I guess it depends on the night, the client , and the $$.

It was the best I could do. Your mileage may vary!

Yikes, u can close ur eyes til its finish...

For me, it's mostly how it's said, and who says it. In general, I'm always a bit skeptical about language that impugns men by calling them womanly, as if being a woman was a bad thing.

Dancing boys in undies...

I think that the statistics is talking only about the free of cost PrEP therapy. It's not free for everyone, the cost depends on the income you have, and even in the worst case, is no more expensive than Paracetamol. I saw many friends of me in Brazil and even some GPs taking PrEP. At the same time, there's a lot of people who don't take it and there's a lot of BB sex going on.

This may also have to do with the level of sexual activity. I know guys that do not have sex except when they travel and thus for the majority of the year they have no need to take PrEP. But, I do think it is an individual decision based on planned activity.

Actually I wish she would shut her yap here and stay in the Senate where she can just possibly get shit done.

Really? You reach that conclusion from the sample of 4 Peruvians you know?

Well, your experience has not been mine. I visited the new area three times in the last 2 weeks and every time the bars had plenty of customers and tons of boys. Not sure what your definition of doing well is, but they meet that qualification for me.

I have been to a few sex clubs and sex parties in Brazil recently, I see a lot of barebacks. I bet some people think HIV is no longer a life threatening disease. Although it is not curable, it can be treated as a long term disease, much like diabetes. Personally I wouldn't take any risk, but some people have different views.
