Tomcal

Ax, i think i am too set in my HOing ways to settle down with one person but he definitely has had a effect on me different then any other guys i have met there in the last 16 years! But who knows what will happen? I am just going to hang on for the ride! :-)

Here's the pic i meant to put in the reply to Docbr!

Docbr, while he wont make me monogomous, he has definitely slowed me down alot! I am not having the 3 guys who usually stay at the apt there this upcoming trip! but during the week i will be able to get to the saunas as he won't get there before 9:00pm On Mon Tues or Weds! Btw i realize this isnt the proper forum for this but Grindr has been amazing for me in SoCal. Since i am not in LA and apparently neither are the Professionals, i am getting alot of college age guys, primarily 19 - 23, more then willing to do it for $40. - $60. And they are fun! Although 2 kinda turned into BF status after the first couple dates and now i pay for the drinks or dinner but thats it! They always say something like "would $50. Be ok?" About 50% are mexican 25% white and 25% Black or Asian that respond! Just thought you guys might want to give it a try!

Muclelvr, as you know i stopped putting face pics on here because of a previous posters lavk of descretion! But i do have some pics of him with sunglasses on ...

I keep making modifications to my upcoming trip! Now i will be flying into Sao Paulo staying one night there and then flying to Rio Saturday and staying there thru the next Saturday and then flying back to SP for one night. These changes are because of one guy i met 2 days before i left Rio on my last trip last month! I have been going to Brazil for 16 years and have never felt this way about anyone before so i thought spending 8 days together rather then the original 2 weekends i was going to spend with him! one of the differences between him and other Brazilians i have spent time with is that he is a medical professional with medical degree, who happens to be incredibly handsome(IMHO). He is also older at 29 then most of the guys i have been with there. I feel like a 16 yr. old girl when he calls. We have talked every day for the past month since we have met and i haven't told my regulars in Brazil yet in case it doesn't work out! I keep waiting for "the other shoe to drop"! We will see! :-) what ever happens (and i am a realist) it is and had been a great month!

Great report and i totally agree! I have finally got used to the wife/kids thing! I have been to 3 weddings and several birthday parties in Niteroi of guys i had been fucking in the saunas, and danced with their wives/girlfriends... last one i went to was a neighboorhood party in Niteroi with about 200 residents i was the only foreigner and gringo. At that time there were 8 friends all from thecsame neighborhood working at 117 and i had been with 7 of them over the previous year numerous times! They invited me and i had a great time!! The caveat being we didnt mention to anyone we met at the sauna. I met them playing Volleyball on the beach! Lol. only in Brazil

I just got a message from one of the guys who was part of the regular apartment group for the last 5 trips. He was a army paratrooper and one of Brazil's medal winning jujitsu champions really a nice guy! (Met him through floridarob). Last Octobr he joined the French foreign legion because there was no opportunities for him in Brazil! He has now finished training and sent me a FB message that he is coming to the US next year and can he stay for a week with me and see SoCal? That took me about a millisecond to say yes! :-)

Gotti, it wasn't that difficult for 2 reasons,1) I am there every 3 months or so and I know a lot of guys and 2) this is the year of facial hair in Brazil!! I bet 75% of the guys have 3 to 7 day growth going on! It reminds me of about 7or8 years ago all of the sudden almost all of the guys in Porto Alegre had Braces on their teeth! it was like a orthodontist rode into town and put them on everyone!

You can get Uber at Gig you have to get it upstairs at departure level, I did it a month ago.

Gotti it is 4 different guys, but remarkably alike in body type/face/height

Great report!! Thank you! The taxi issue can now be avoided by using Uber! I always use it in Brazil. But if you do take a taxi go outside to the sidewalk area ask for a metered cab and then ask "how much to go to Ipanema? If its more then 70R (less if its Copa)say no and walk away believe me they will come after you and give you a flat rate! You did well for your first venture into the saunas!

Sorry don't know why it posted twice, but know it's my fault!! lol

:-)

Monique recently married a Argentinian millionaire and seldom goes to 117, she owns the building 117 is in unlike the other two sauna owners and has a trusted staff running it. I believe she has owned it over 17 years! interestingly all 3 sauna owners are in their mid 40's

Around 2007 or so he moved into the basement of his sisters house in Kansas City where his elderly parents were. I believe he moved into his own apt several years ago and he is still in KC, you can find him on FB!

The Marriott is in a great location on Copacabana and about 5 blocks from the Siquerio Campos metro station(subway) and easy to walk to Pointe sauna! The Sheraton is too far for a first timer and not convienent for walking, imho. I was scheduled to stay there my first trip on 2001 and we moved to ipanema the next day after we realized it is too far and the windows look right into a favela across the road! I do agree that a hotel is probably best for a first time visitor...unless you are a big HO like me! :-) the Royal Rio is in a good location but charges $50R for a guest!

OZ, if it is over 80+ out they only wear speedos and flip flops everywhere and carry a T shirt if we happen to go into a enclosed restaurant(only if we really need the a/c!)

KevinC, i know you haven't been on this board too long and we don't know each other but i have been to Brazil(and Prague, Barcelona, Miami, Mexico) with quite a few different members of Boytoy! And i don't exaggerate if anything i leave out some things that even i would have a hard time believing if it wasn't happening to me! :-) Now in this paticular photo is not guys on the way to my apartment it is definitely representative as usually there are 4 guys and sometimes 5 that stay with me! I used to post photos of the guys so everyone could see them to get a idea of what is available as everyone's idea of "hot" or "sexy" is different! But a year ago a guy who had asked for a lot of help from me on this site and sent me personal emails requesting contact info as well as apt. Info., lied and showed photos i had posted on here for the members of this forum, to guys in the saunas! It cause a minor but still a problem for me to explain to one guy in particular! So thats why no photos of actual guys I have been with unless they have happened to have done porn so the pics are already on the net! But i guarantee the photo is representative of Brasilian sauna guys i see when i am there! I did send several pictures of my current "love" interest who i met last month in Rio to a couple close friends on this site, including OZ and they all thought he was very handsome!

A friend of mine sent me this photo saying someone caught the guys going to my apartment in Rio! LOL

Gotti, i always stayed at the atlantico from 2001 - 2005 it was mediocre at best but their liberal guest policy and their close proximity to Rogers, Estacau and pointe saunas made it woth it! But when 2 of those 3 saunas disappeared and their prices started to rise i went to a apt. Also we used to be very close to the long time staff many of whom had been there 15 + years, once the son of the owner took over direct mgt and they got rid of the old time staff the atmosphere changed. I might mention that the atlantico owns now 6 hotels and owns the building that Pointe202 sauna is in!

Does anyone know what happened to Expat? He used to be here in socal but the last time i ran into him had to be several years ago! I know he had some health problrms but then he just disappeared.....

I will be in Rio from the March 16th to 26th. This trip i won't be spending time in Porto Alegre or Sao Paulo because of a guy who i can only see on the weekends in Rio. So i am bringing a guy from Porto Alegre and one from SP to Rio from Mon.- Friday. Both oh these guys are new guys i met on my last trip in January as well as the guy who is spending the weekend(s). Who i think overall is the best looking guy i have ever met in Brazil and one of the nicest! The two weekends together should help prove or disprove that! :-)

View of the bar and shower area of Mezziniu Sauna(i got there early so i could take the photo w/o anyone there) the bar is in the right side and you can see how big it is! there are about 16 tables for 4 and the bar seats about 12

Glad i am not the only one! And while i am considered at least average intelligence i could not comprehend what he was saying in paragraphs 2 - 5! IMHO he didn't contribute much of value because most of his posts took 2 or 3 readings to understand 1/2 of what he was saying! While i don't like to see anyone leave the forum, i can't say i will miss him!
