When I read about the Termas having a security guard, the first thing that entered my mind was his physicality and looks and his availability!

Latindude, muito obrigado for posting. I appreciated your honesty and willingness to share. Now it's now time for us to continue onward with life and not attempt to share where you perhaps went wrong. It happened; you were saddened and wanted to share this experience with us here so others perhaps would NOT make the same errors. It is hoped that everyone should learn from their mistakes. I support you! Lastly- in the future- have "ALL" valuables out-of-sight and locked up, if possible, when expecting unknown visitors to your apartment or hotel room.

I'm neutral in this debate/controversy. I agreed with Lucky in terms of how the forum has changed over the months. esI've been here since its establishment, reading and writing and using the information which I've sought. Hope everyone takes a deep breath now and regroup and focus in other areas, the main one being travel to Central and South America.

DITTO! DITTO! DITTO!

I applaud the initial thread and post and agree with Lucky. I've been at this site and this particular forum since its inception and have recently seen a change in its tone brought on by some of the newer members. ...wish they would rethink what they write before doing it, for I, for one, DO NOT engage in tits for tats from some members who are afraid of a variety of opinions and assessments. Thanks, Lucky! And for those folks who like to "bitch, insult, etc., please rethink your thoughts and respond. And to be clear, I am a 100% advocate of free speech.

I read the title and some of the threads and scrolled and then responded; I was completely oblivious as to when it was first posted.

Badboy81-- I completely concur with what you wrote, and am glad that I read first before directly responding to the initial thread. What you have here "hit the nail on the head" oh so succinctly and accurately!

Because of my long legs-- I can't take flying in coach anymore. Business class is my next bet, but unfortunately, it isn't for sale. But, I thank you for the "head's up!" Guess I'll have to go to one of those brokers who sell discounted business class tickets for international travel.

I thunderously applaud your response here!

I always cringe when I read about the fees the garotos request and how some of the men here respond. Today's rates [5.13.18] for the real vs the dollar follow: R$100 = $29.00 R$150 = $41.00 R$200 = $55.00 R$250 = $69.00 R$400 = $116.00 I had planned to write some additional observations and perceptions but thought it best to do just as I did. Men, think about it!

Your last 2 points are the comments I made to folks back here in CA who were forever telling me how dangerous Rio de janeiro was/is. I diffused this belief by stating what I quoted from your post!

As a former high school teacher of English, now retired and lovin' it-- I admired my students visually but NEVER wished or desired to have them sexually. Thus, my personal and professional lives were spared of scandal, utter embarrassment, a violation of one's trust in the other , jail or prision, fines, etc. Unfortunately, two teachers, who I knew as fellow colleagues, got "caught up" with some of the young female students and found themselves imprisoned for years. All of this brought on consequences which definitely could have been avoided if one thought with his "LARGER head" vs the "SMALLER" of the two!!

During my travels to Buenos Aires (5Xs) to be precise, I used www.soytuyo.com.and had some very scorching times with the men I'd selected. In fact, my first, independent guide had an amigo who had an ad at this site. ...gave me the 'BEST FUCK' of my life! Unfortunately, he is no longer escorting, and he's no longer a friend of Chorch. Chorch, himself is no longer escorting either, for he is the proud owner and operator of a home for seniors. I saw Norbert and his lover in 2011. The sex was ok but was not "off the charts." My other guys are no longer escorting. Abdul at www.ratonesonline.com gives one a stellar time as a top. But again--the other hotties have moved on! Enjoy yourself, and I do hope that you'll report back about your overall trip to the "City of Portenos!"

Back in the early 2000's-- I took two tours to some of Rio's famous favelas. If you are gung ho about touring in spite of the recent violence, contact Marcelo Armstrong, the man who began the tours to favelas a while back. ASK him or his assistant about the current atmosphere, and proceed from there. I truly enjoyed his tours which you can read about in some of the valid travel guides. ...don't have his contact information at this date in time! Also, I'd do the taxi thing from airport to my hotel if I were you. It's much easier. When I was doing Rio (11Xs to date)--I would pre-arrange at a kiosk in the airport, but on one or two occasions, I took a metered taxi and paid fare as well as tipped the drivers. [Go to those fab gardens as well as that popular forest that's within the city. Try to have a companion if possible; it's more pleasant and fun that way!] Lastly, in terms of money; check out the rate of exchange before going then you want feel too badly when folks ask for R$100 or upwards. This also goes for outside of the saunas. Please report back when you get the chance. If you do this and wish to wait upon your return to Australia, a lovely country which is seared in my memory, for I spent two years there as an educator in some of the state schools quite a few years back.

Check via Facebook by typing in Cuba gay tour guides. Louis has a website; you can google him as gay Cuban tour guides. The other guy popped up on my FB page; I did not record any pertinent contact info.

...succulently luscious!

I wholeheartedly agree, Lucky!

I read some of the initial text and liked RH's writing style; I viewed some of the photos, esp.. the ones featuring all of those sweets and thought if I'd ignore or imbibe a little if I were a guest. Then I came to the mini-debate and had to smile, smile, smile. Men! Men! Men!

I have yet to attend the PS Weekend because of various and sundry reasons but might venture there in 2019 if it is still being held. I am a rather sly soul in gatherings of this sort from what others and I have determined.

My formerly go-to escort [male] in San Francisco had a job at Trader's Joe's but left it; he could not live on the minimum wage vs what he made hourly in sex play! His rentmen ad is up but not his phone number; he rarely posts at Facebook as well. I'm thinking he might have a "sugar daddy!" I DO NOT like what has happened with backpage and craigslist and hope the feds don't try to shut down www.daddysreviews.com as well as this site and http://.rentmen.com.

I just happened to have viewed and listened to "Good Morning, America" this morning [4.13.18] where the athletes who will be on DWTS appeared. ...don't know if I'm goin' to like this year's contest or not! ...viewed and got involved with the last 2 seasons. Personally, I don't mind Adam and await his debut.

This thread has become a hodge pod of writing; I see few pics for the most up-to-date times at Club 117.

What a stud who seemingly exudes all of the manliness and strength and sexiness that one would desire! You've definitely found one hell of a "winner!"

You did not need to apologize for this error. It was a very minor mistake. Yes, Rogers was in Copa along with Estacao. I had my first experience there and vividly remember when I walked through the doors, I felt as if most, if not all eyes of the garatos beamed in on me. I slightly panicked but begin to remember all of the salient advice which I'd received from what had been posted at www.daddysreviews.com. ...had a good time. The next night I was at Estacao. It was hopping, but when I went the next night-- it was dead, which I found to be rather perplexing in my NOT knowing the workings and going on's of the saunas. ...went back in February during Carnaval and exposed my friend to Point 202 where he truly overstayed his time while in a cabine. He'd met a guy from Bahia whom I, to this day, think "rocked his world" and then some! Ah, the Brasilian saunas with garatos...!

I wholeheartedly concur! That is the best and more simple of solutions to the problem!
