Yes, Lucas is very cute indeed! He's younger than I usually like, but during 2015 I think I will start going with some of the "fresher" ones!!

What do you mean by "financial conditions?" Are you asking about the fees charged per hour?

Thanks, Suckrates! ...supreme beauty is amongst all of these photos!!!!!! ...a very, very sweet, sweet beginning for 2015!

Americans will be 'FREE' to travel once the embargo has been officially lifted and our travel limitations have been lifted. Right now US citizens can only legally travel via People-to-People programs. I'm going for a limited week during the latter part of February 2015, and will only be in Havana. I'll be part of a P-to-P specific program. My days will be programmed; my evenings will be free. Right now Yunior, a gay guide who has his information on goggle and bing plans to give me "his gay tour" on my first night there which will be on a Saturday. I've been in touch with him for the past few months; he's excited as well as I, but the only limitation wtih his being my guide is that he does not intervene in my seeking the services of escorts. Right now I am excited about my "LEGAL" trip in spite of the time restrictions. ...was in Cuba in 1998 or perhaps 2000. ...can't remember. ...was at a different place in my life at that time; thus I did not "play with the men" or attempt this sort of extra travel experience.

Muito Obrigado for sharing while holidaying. I most enjoyed reading about your travels and appreciated your having shared them. When you return to Sao Paulo, keep us abreast [at your convenience, of course] about your experiences! This trip was certainly a precursor to the beginning of a new year, 2015,

"Tom, you always manage to seek out the best!" Have a wonderful, wonderful, 2015! Have a stellar, always-memorable voyage!

You always manage to seek out "the best!"

Aside from the sauna scenes, I have always been enriched when with locals and participate in their activities. This is what I experienced when I visited Salvador {Bahia} Brasil. ...my guide took me on my own planned tours; he also invited me to join friends at a special party. What an eye opener in terms of how the Brasilians, as a whole, tend to party and socialize!

In spite of your "trust component"-- make sure that all valuables are "out of sight" when you have guests in your hotel room or in your apartment. That even means expensive cologne if you wear it. Advice given to us/me previously!

I am quite envious!

Yes, I have had some different experiences from what you mentioned in the material above. During the mid 2000s, I hired escorts from agencies which were then at http://www.netgay.com.br. All of my experiences were pleasing and quite satisfactory. In 2008 a friend of mine who could speak some Brasilian Portuguese or some Espanol hired for me from an ad at the site mentioned. The guy was half Italian and Brasilian and gave me a truly, truly memorable time inside of my hotel room. I gave him his fee along with a tip. Afterwards, he and I walked to the beach to meet his Italian amigo. I met his friend and stayed for a while to converse; the escort left us. During our conversation the Italian guy told me that the escort felt bad because he did not have change to return to me; he did not know that I had given him the additional R$s for a tip. He was soooooooooooo damn good! When I was in Rome in 2010, I saw the same guy after requesting my female tour representative to contact him. , but the time that he showed me was NOT as stellar as the one to which he'd given me in Rio de janeiro]. All in all I'll remember this beauty and gorgeously hung chap who knew how to please one who'd been "slightly starved!"

In addition to what my fellow posters presented, I'd like to suggest that you visit http://www.daddysreviews.com, join for free and go to the Latin America or related forum. Trilingual gave some salient advice for first time visitors a while, while back. It still appears relevant and useful, too! I'd like to add that many of the sauna guys will approach you and ask if it is your first visit and from where do you come? The guys, more than likely, will ask if you'd like a massage. After my fifth or sixth visit-- I have smiled upon hearing this "script!" But that does NOT mean that I have not disrespected the guys or have NOT gone with the one or ones of which I've found interest! Go and enjoy and remember always to allow your "BIG HEAD" to do the thinking for you! Read! Read! Read! and then Use! Use! Use! After your adventures please report back here. I, for one, always enjoy reading the travel experiences of one!

...loved the photos of #s 1, 3, and 4!!!

Earlier today while I was perusing my FaceBOOK miscellany, I ran across Raphael A, an escort in New York City, heavenly and heavily endowed and porn icon. In it he included a site in Brasil which has some gorgeous garotos and their ads listed. If any of you who travel to Brasil and who prefer to see garotos in the saunas as well as outside, here's a great website: http://www.garotolandia.com.br. If any of you manage to book any guy or guys from the various cities, I'd highly encourage you to write about your experiences as well as present a review or reviews. In 2002 I first began journeying to Brasil. Since that time I've been fortunate as well as lucky to have visited some 11Xs, the last time being in 2011. During a few of those years, when I've had guides and when there have been ads from escort sites on the web-- I've hired from them and had wonderful experiences each time. I used http://www.netgay.com.brfor my source which listed the agencies. Today they are defunct; this site has individual escorts/garotos advertising independently! Well, guys, consult and do what is best for you!

It's always rewarding to conclude one's stay as you cited in your last post from Rio. Enjoy Sao Paulo. Our likes are just the reverse: I prefer Rio to SAMPA while you, on the other hand, like that city which during the early 2000s was the third largest in area. That "all good!" Sao Paulo is too, too large for me; thus I've never taken public transit but have depended on taxis which do become expensive after a while. [Have had some wonderful gay guides in this city and some pretty good sex as well while staying in that once, great apartmento hotel which was located two blocks from Paulista Avenida. At any rate, enjoy the Paulistas! I'll,await your inviting posts from there when you get the opportunity to write here!!!!!!!

Yes! "Good trip endings keep good memories burning for the next time you will be there!" I've always enjoyed your posts! Obrigado for this one! I'd loved to have been in your shoes to have met the new cutie who brought joy to you upon your last night in "The Marvelous City!"

I always enjoy reading and viewing your posts! They continue to entice me to visit this country even if I do not read or speak Espanol! Guess when I do manage to venture there, I'll be able to obtain the services of a male guide, hopefully one who is handsome, hot, and gay and speaks Ingles!

[...NOT A CAPTION!!!] "Damn, that golfer looks enticing!" "I'd love to jump those bones of his!" "He's so, so friggin' fyne!"

"Do you want to 'de-ball' me?"

Have a wonderful trip! Seems like my 12th trip to Brasil will occur in 2016. I can't wait--either! [Have other trips planned for 2015.]

There are recent accounts here of the best nights at the saunas in Rio. Do a mere check of the archived material, which is more recent than ancient!

This is marvelous; it's a great step to have been taken. But guess what? As one who abhors smelling cigarette and/or cigar and other tobacco smoke, strangely enough I was never bothered by it while I was in various parts of Brasil from 2002 through 2011. I do not know what it was but am grateful and elated that smoking did not hinder my cultural and play experiences! Again, I am elated that this move was made; it's better for all!! [My next trip to "MOTHER BRASIL" has been tentatively planned during 2016 after the Olympics!]

DITTTTTTTTToooooooooooo!!!!

Sois 2 3 and 4 are the areas for action. Sorry I can't be more specific. As for hotels I only recommend one, The TARTAWAN which allows guests. I found the price to be quite reasonable, and the areas for play are within walking distance from this hotel. Have stayed in two others; one I'd highly recommend, but I do think its guest policy is rigid; there are doormen guarding the doors during the evening; I got a guy in there without any problems, but we entered via a side door; the guard who saw us did not say anything, and the hotel is The Montien, not the one located by the river. I think others who've traveled there a lot, who currently live there, can help you much more than I. I would recommend that you join www.daddysreviews,com and read what's in the archives regarding the three cities of which you show interest. Lastly, my memory is not the best anymore, so I'm unable to cite specifics regarding Phuket and Pattaya; ...have been once to the former and three times to the latter. On my last visit to Pattaya, I stayed in a room in an ex pat's house. Did not like the location at all. Do a google check of http://www.gayasia.com and/or http://www.gaythailand.com. See what comes up. There are some gay sites for the cities of your interest, but again, I am unable to remember them. There's one called Purple something!

Tom, thanks for the info. and photos of the town which you recommended for a visit. Also, I liked that "gorgeous creature" on the right who now graces our screens! You've be oh so lucky and fortunate over the years in meeting some of the most handsome men who reside in my favorite country {Brasil}!!
