I too have met guys from the Rio saunas in London, Zurich and several (5)of them in Barcelona!

Over a year ago Rodolfo the owner was notified that his lease would more then likely not be renewed! The land it sits on is much more valuable with a 20 story condo on it(the same situation Pointe might face as the family that owns and are Point202's landlords also own the Atlanico hotel a few blocks away on Siquero Campos and we're going to build a hotel there but those plans fell through when they could not get the tax exemption). Rudolfo, does not seem concerned about it and it does not seem to be worried if he has to close, but it has not happened yet and I was told it probably won't happen this year, but no one seems to know for sure!

Go to Airbnb type in Merida and then in filters click on homes in Centro, not apts! You can get a home entire home with pool walkable to many restaurants(over a 100)and 4 of the 5 gay bars! Listings are like this: https://abnb.me/CbjhXdML3W

There are a lot of airbnbs especially in the off season(May - Sept)available! I would recommend Centro area, where most of the colonial homes are! I will be there the last two weeks in July, as will Florida Rob.

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)

Check your PM.

Axiom wasn't that around 2002 or 2003?

Grindr is very good in Merida! I use it there all the time. There are 5 gay bars/clubs in Merida, three of them within walking distance of each other. The other two a short Uber ride away! Overall Merida for being a traditional Mexican city is very gay friendly! As my friend Florida Rob says "everyone in Merida if they are not gay, want to be!" Lol the gay bars have "employees" that will sit with you as long as you buy them beers at a inflated(but still cheap)price! One of the dancers that I met 2 years ago I still see regularly! Here is a photo taken two weeks ago, he stopped buy to see if I wanted to have some fun after work and he is asleep in my bed! He stayed 6 hours and I gave him $500. Pesos($26.US) and 3 beers!

I have the original "tales of the city" on video tape made in 1993 with Laura Linney, and it was great! Seeing this makes me want dig it out and rewatch it!

Are you informing us of your medical condition(s) or is there a question here??

It is easy to be overcharged the way the system is set up, always check your bill after each order! Also if you buy one of guys who work a drink there, you are charged more for a watered down drink! Best to only buy them bottled beers!

I have been to Blue several times never had a problem but there were 4 to 6 of us each time I was there. Not really my type of place so I usually go to of the other 4 clubs in Centro that I can walk to! Blue you have to Uber to

i have been going to Brazil 4 or 5 times a year since 2001, and honestly, and solely my opinion, i think it was more dangerous from 2001 - 2005 then now! I would hear weekly of “Boa noite Cinderilla”incidents! they were a every weekend occurrence! i know of 6 Americans that happened to and 4 garotoes i knew were murdered during that time period! But desperate times creates dispare in people and they do things they normally wouldn’t do so better to be extra vigilant during these difficult economic times when you visit Brazil!

117 is probably your best bet on Thurs! When I was there these last couple of trips I was/am pretty involved with a guy so I didn't go as often and did not go to the saunas on Thursdays.

IMHO, the.combo of bad weather and it being the day after Ash Wednesday/Carnival ending, I am surprised any guys were at Lagoa working! I was there 3 weeks ago and it was packed on the weekend with many gorgeous men both mucsle guys and toned athletic body guys! Sunday can be ok at 117 but Pointe is also decent. Mondays/Wednesdays/Fridays are the best nights at Pointe and Tuesdays is the night to go to 117

Mvan I think I remember your namorado! And he did have something to show off :-)

I have never asked to see a Brasilian I.D. in 18 years of going there! Not saying it's a bad idea I just don't know what it proves other then his real name(many Garotos have a sauna name different from their real first name)

This discussion was very enlighting to me and points out the difference in cultures! In Brazil the other guys in the sauna will know what you like to do, dont.like, what you pay, how big you are or arn't, by your next visit! It isn't malicious it's just business for them! They gossip as much about us as we do about them! Also from what I have heard from my friends who go to Thailand, Thai guys are more reticent to participate in groups or 3 or 4 ways especially if they don't know the other guys! Not in Brazil! Everyone dives in immediately! :-). I was at one sauna in Rio 2 weeks ago, and 4 guys came in together and they had never been in a sauna before but thought it would be a great way to earn easy money! One I thought was very cute but I had already made plans to go up with a guy already so I asked the boy if he wanted to go with us and he said yes! Then as we were walking through the bar another guy I had seen before but had never gone with smiled at us and said "can I join you?" I said are you versitle? He smiled and the 4 of us went to a room and had a great time even though none of them had ever met before!

Paulerio. How do the guys in PR compare with the Brazilian sauna guys facially? From the little I saw, I thought Brazioian guys were much better looking but I am basing that on just a couple of pics.

Hi, FloridaRob told me about the site and a comment a poster left on here about me! I am more then willing to impart whatever knowledge i have but a lot of information can be found on Boytoy.com So.American forum. I have been going to Brazil for 18 years, usually 4 times a year sometimes 5, usually for 10 -12 days. I have always spent the majority of my time in Rio, and a few days each trip in Sao Paulo and Porto Alegre! The last 8 years or so I have stayed in Airbnb Apartments as I much prefer that to hotels! I avoid 2 months, July and February! Historically the coldest(July) and Hottest(February) also July is when school closed for the month in Brazil so everything is more crowded and February for the week before and after Carnival as everything is 3X the price and there are a 1,000,000 extra people in Rio! Everyone mentions safety but if you stick to the tourist zones in Copa, Ipanema, etc. You will have no problems! I live in So. Cal. And there are just as bad areas here! The saunas are great! And you will find the kind of guy or guys you like there! I usually have 3 or 4 stay at the apartment with me when I am there! Flight time to Rio is about 11-1/2 hours and 12-1/2 to Sao Paulo

All i have to add is i was there thursday night and it was filled and i met a really cute guy there!

the rooms are the best part(it seems to be where i spend 95% of my time)they are 16 all new, w/Double mattress’ on a platform , all with All glass enclosed showers in each one, plus Client bathrooms on eac floor! very clean! Oz, 4 twinks showed up Monday night who had never worked in a Sauna before , 2 were very cute!

this friday there were 14 escorts and about a dozen clients. i think it will take a few months to build up to old.MM standards of attendance. it has only been open one week.

Many of the working guys are with their families on the Friday thru Sunday weekend. wouldn’t be my choice of time to go...and 117 is closed on Mondays i think you would have at least 4 consecutive nights of no sauna activity

Darn! missed you by a couple days again!! and again.....Sane thing happens in Merida! :-)
