Same here....24 hours a day with the same dude would probably drive me crazy even if I really liked the person...when I don't travel solo I prefer to stay in my own hotel room or at least rent a house with enough space for my own space...

Never say never and gifts can be something as simple as buying hygiene essentials versus underwear or tennis shoes....it would be things that you did not take into consideration...since they are essentially on your dime

Headed to Barcelona in July for Pride... I havent done any gay parties in Madrid and would like to get info on what there is to do for fun as well as saunas...stuff that I can't google and find would be useful... All set for food places I want to try but would love to know some good gay bars AND definitely saunas... Thanks in advance...

I never take sand to the beach because the cost never would equate to the pleasure (too many treats in the saunas, Grindr and on the beaches in Rio)expensive even by American standards when you add up their daily fee of about 400R, airfare, lodging, food, and entertainment... Make sure you know what their expectation for compensation is so you don't have any issues during or at the end of their visit...

Depending on when you go to Rio...try a samba school practice... Mangueira is one of my favorites but there are tons of others....loud music, tons of locals-HOOOOTTT eye candy and you learn a lot about Brazilian culture... You may want to go with a local until you learn your way around Rio...

Your dad is probably a smart man and values his MONEY!!! Truth is, anything tastes great and amazing based on how hungry you are...Just like depending on how horny you are or how hot the guy is, local won't mean ish.... Had Thai food in Bangkok and it was great until I went to a Thai restaurant in Atlanta and was like, this shit is good too..(Panda Express IS good) Had Brazilian food all over Brazil then went back to Fogo De Choa and thought, same quality, maybe even a little better... Let me know when you have sex with a Brazilian guy here in the states.....Smile

Are you sure that was a look of jealously? Or amazement that you could make so much much noise? LOL Just joking!!!

And that is the going rate these days...WHAT THE FUCK!!!! Some of those same boys are fucking for free, right time, right situation... Ill go to Brazil any day before I pay $300 for an hour and the sex isn't guaranteed to be mind blowing...

Great article on skin color and education exclusion which has a large impact on generational poverty as well as generational wealth based on those who have access to higher education thus having opportunity for higher paying careers. https://revista.drclas.harvard.edu/book/skin-color-and-educational-exclusion-brazil

Great arguments on both parts.... Something to note is that even though both Ali and Pele were kings in their perspective sports, the racism that they would have experienced would have been different... In the US, no matter how much money or fame a black (light or dark skinned) man would have amassed, he still would have been looked down on and any white women who would have been in a relationship with him or married would have been looked down on in the 60s and 70s....Even though there were tons of black actors and athletes who married white, it was definitely more discreet and not a way to fame the way it is now....ie, you rarely saw photos on James Earl Jones or Sidney Portier wives...while Pele PROUDLY displayed his white women on his arm and they were proud to be with him because of his fame and wealth Color is definitely a bigger deal in the US versus Brazil, when money is concerned...no matter how much wealth or fame you accumulate, your race will never be mistaken....ie, Obama, OJ... In Brazil, it is overlooked and has been acceptable for longer when wealth is involved... Aside from white land owners having Afro-Brazilian mistresses and brides, the products of those relationships were able to then marry lighter and whiter which was not the case in the US... Here is was more lighter and lighter marrying to create lighter offspring, ie New Orleans and most of Louisiana, part Haiti, DR, damn near all other parts of Latin America... There biggest difference in the whole black and proud movement is that in Brazil, there was no movement so Pele was just happy to have risen from poverty and to be accepted by other who were in power... Something that I find amazing is that white there are large numbers of athletes and entertainers here that choose to marry and procreate with white women, the number is so astounding in Brazil that it was a HUGE deal when one major Afro Brazilian male actor that married another black actress....because it is just not the norm

Thanks for sharing this...But take into account everything in the US....there is Chicago, there was Vegas, there was Orlando...there was Texas...there is shit going on everywhere, in every major city as well as small towns... The best advice to offer anybody, anywhere is to always be cautious and aware of your surroundings... Traveling and enjoying where you travel is one of the things that make life so great...as long as we think with our big heads and not our little heads, things should work out okay....

This is GOOD.... Christiano is a closeted gay...maybe not so closeted but I believe the prostitutes were beards and hired to help with his sexuality Tiger...not too sure about having ANY women based on his looks and I heard he has a small penis BUT money does talk... Sean, Mike, Hugh...ALL FREAKS....Prostitutes have a reputation for doing things that most ladies won't do...maybe thats why the hired then... French Soccer teams, American basketball, football, etc....all hire for privacy and discretion... Interesting fetish...Never thought about this aspect but I get it... For me, I personally like being able to get HOT guys outside of the saunas for free...thats more of an ego boost versus paying (for me)...that's easy...everybody has a price...you just have to come up with the magical number BUT not everybody will be interested solely based on looks/body.... I do agree that tastes differ so what one considers hot and worth paying for, somebody else has issues with tattoos or baldness or body build or facial or whatever... You answered my question!

Cool....your taste, your money... All of those guys are gays that you would be able to find comparable for free in Copa or Ipanema based on how you described yourself... All three of those guys look average compared to some of the hot guys in the saunas who would charge you less and probably perform better Cariocas (and other gays in Brazil) tend to love attractive, well build hung black guys (for free)...that has been my experience... Enjoy bro

Im in LOVE....I will be renting this with friends in the future....

Sounds HUGE..I always stay near that area...if you have a website or link, please DM it to me...I had some guys just travel to Rio for a week and stayed in Ipanema That would be a great place to rent during the slower season...Ill be in Rio in August and October....would love to see the place online

I just realized the HOT escort I met in Cancun now lives in Merida....Im sure you have met him...I flew to Cancun a few times just to see him and stay at Secrets the Vine... Merida has a large escort population?

Apartments in Rio renting for 1K per night even during low season....Thats amazing....

What makes the Lagoa Gods and the Gogo Boys from the Week the best guys? Just asking....Ego? Fantasy? Just attraction? Have been traveling to Rio for years and never been crazy impressed by guys based on what others think....that is the quickest way to be disappointed.... I have been with guys who go go and some of the hottest guys in Rio period....

Ill add my 2 cents even though you asked specific people questions Im sure they will answer... Not sure what is described as Washingtonian or Californian...Cultural norms are completely different than things that are regional or maybe things statewide... In the US, the color of your skin definitely be what you are acknowledged as versus in Brazil, I have seen BLACK guys that look like me but are professionals or come from money and consider themselves black... In the US, your skin color often dictates what you are...ie, President Obama looks like an African American man so he is black....it is very rare for somebody to actually identify them self as Bi Racial based on how they look....there are TONS of biracial Americans that look white or black but we just acknowledge them based on how they look...some goes for black and Asian or black and Latino....there is just now a huge movement to self identify as Afro Latino or Afro Asian, etc....Tyson Beckford is Afro Asian and Lala Anthony is Afro Latino...Paula Patton is biracial but looks like a white woman, etc... As far as the issues differing in different parts of Brazil...more or less extreme...its just like in the states...there are states that are clearly more liberal or racists and cities with little minorities versus meccas like DC and Atlanta.... Brazil has more to do with wealth and education....A good friend of mine said me simply having money and being American, I can consider myself white in Brazil....(Not even sure HOW...LOL) Most of the poor in Brazil are darker skinned people of African descent and the huge majority of wealth belongs to the Brazilians who look very European.... There are issues with jobs, education, equal rights, etc in Brazil that America is still dealing with BUT not on such a large scale Both countries have issues with police brutality among the black race..

This is the exact reason I tell guys to NOT think with their little heads and use your big head...being horny is never a reason to put your life in jeopardy... I hope everybody reads this and used their best judgement Glad it did not escalate...And you are safe I got stiffed my last trip in Rio but it was only 150R for a wack ass bodybuilder....Im sure somebody else STILL ventured to see him even though I gave a warning....

I considered investing in a property in Copa and was told by a friend in Rio that used to live in the states not to... Americans are charged much more than the Cariocas/Brazilians AND the income is not consistent if you rent it out... He owned an apartment in Copa, NICE place, 3 bedrooms 1 bath, maids room, close to the beach and around the corner from Pointe 202...He rented it out during major holidays and events and made decent money but not what would be considered great money, ie, Super Bowl rates for places in downtown Atlanta... I think his mortgage was about 1K per month...what I considered decent...He is considered middle class and had to let the place go for a smaller place in Botofoga because renting rates werent consistent... I even asked him to property manage for me and he said that there is a ton of competition in Copa and Ipanema and unless I was getting paid in US dollars it definitely wasnt worth it... Brazil puts Americans through way too many ropes to purchase in Rio....I saw something on House Hunters International about the requirements and after doing my research decided against it... Easier to stick with other peoples apartments...

Tons of posts about that site... The same with Rentmen.com and other sites Most of the guys on those sites are in the saunas and charge more...The sauna is the easiest way to find sex and companionship and will be the safest place for a newbie.. If you meet a guy and hit it off, you can always negotiate his rates to come to you at your apartment...(Most hotels will charge for a guest that is not registered to your room)

Grindr is DOPE for me but I speak some Portuguese and dont tend to be fucked with in Rio but I wouldn't recommend that for first timers... Try to learn the lay of the land before having guys you don't know in your personal, private space

Google translation like just about everybody else has said will suffice...Learning some Portuguese will get you further and open you to guys outside of the saunas Look at things besides location regarding your airBnB...I used to stay exclusively at a hotel but now use AirBnB and pay close attention to photos and reviews....Go with your gut on how the owner communicates with you and if all else fails ask for recent pics if you like the location of the place I honestly DONT recommend staying in an apartment on your first trip since you wont know your way around.... As long as you stay in the touristy areas, you should be fine...Copa, Ipanema....dont venture anywhere that you havent heard of or has some touristy spot...I wouldnt recommend going to the Lapa stairs at night unless you are comfortable Rio is like any other major city...good parts and bad parts.... Have a great trip
