I like your theory better. Unless he was starting to bang you and you moaned "urine" upon penetration.

WTF!? Did you happen to lose in translation something that ended up sounding like you had a run-in with a medusa (jellyfish)? No shortage of medusa-like show MCs, so maybe not such a stretch.

I am in my accommodations in Europe, jetlagged and sleepless at 3:50 AM, have the munchies, and now this salivation inducing write-up. Gee thanks!!!! ;)

Any developments on the new venue in a Sao Paulo house that @tomcal suggested a few months ago was being prepared for opening this Spring or Summer?

I am able to read notifications eg reactions and write this post at this minute without being logged into my account!?

In three years, I have had one text request for financial assistance, two for travel accompaniment, and countless for repeat programas. For the travel, I share what places I like. I invite a detailed itinerary and itemized budget, but I have yet to receive one. So far, It is easy to avoid a hard no. An intrafamilal medical aid request was made in a very sophisticated and clever manner. I was not hoodwinkable but impressed enough with the upscale effort at bullshit that I did offer some payment of goods should their need be authenticated.

I was being tongue in cheek. You may notice when you msg someone you see the name you entered in contacts, and underneath it in Whatsapp you may see a standard or personalized phrase ... disponivel, at work, busy, god bless, etc are some examples. A common one is "I am using Whatsapp", but you can add to it. Since all or most your contacts ask for cash, it might be hilarious to put in your personalized byline a brief phrase (translated), like I suggested above, or "my ATM is empty", or "condolences about Granny but she should have worn a helmet", or "god bless Brasil for its free health care". Discreet, insider wording, in case "I only pay to fuck" is too provocative for our whole range of contacts.

Hahaha ... I think that in Portuguese itch and tingle are loosely related, comichão, and may refer to a skin rash or less directly an insect swarm or infestation ... verb tingle is formigar and ant is formiga. Gabriel is hot enough to really itch for, pubic lice and bed bugs be damned.

The above B&W has an interesting Bruce Weber vintage feel and is a nice departure from selfies, though hot mobile downloads of course always welcome. For $ bailout requests when down there, you can always pre-emptively utilize for your smartphone app, in the byline dialogue field : I am using Whatsapp. You are not using me.

There is enough material for a Masters thesis in this very entertaining, revealing thread. And I read two novels that had been collecting dust previous to this recent site glitch period.

Green's book lives in academia and is not packaged digitally. Here is his companion glossary and a few of the photos where Rio action took place. He also references a few other cities. Gays everywhere, after all.

The prices quoted above are not out of line for formal hires considering a short 2-3 song lapdance in CDMX or PV runs 500 pesos. I wonder if Mexico deals are more driven by visitors, and Brazil arrangements by a stonger tradition of local clientele balancing out sex tourism. Colombia, about which I do not pretend to know anything, the middle distance with yet another set of factors.

I almost went with Bachelor#1 last year. I got cold feet because I hate hiring from photos, my very small and very pricey boutique hotel (that was not very good planning on my part, long story) was not going to work and the guy proposed a regular hotel he sometimes recommends to which I would need to cab and pay for the room. Cost not an impediment when horny IF I know for sure the guy is a good fit, but I need to see in person. Did not get laid there, scouting apps, ads, spas.

There was one in Varna, but the info may be outdated. Basically, look up Spartacus Gay Travel and plug in country, then location, then check the "map" pins and listings for hotels, clubs, baths etc, and see if the links work. Spartacus was my gay softcover bible beginning late 1970s. Matt Leblanc was once coverboy. They try to be current but things change so rapidly in more obscure less stable locations.

Saw the series a few years ago, as well as the original 1970s Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy tv series. Amazing how the players could carry such long scenes with minimal musical score. And of course Hurt was in the later movie TTSS.

Literary license ... hahahahaha ... maybe I applied at the wrong wicket. But the counter has closed because the train derailed before leaving the station. Who wants to call it. I can call it ... time of death 21:45 EDT. oopsie, wrong thread ... partially resuscitate!

tomcal you have a knack for generating eager courtier participation. Sometimes I do a final trip report in stages in another document, and then paste it all at once in the topic dialogue box. Then if it is too long and detailed the griping can get out of the way, in my case. Perhaps consider putting your engine in advance of the railtrack's careening twists and turns. The caboose can never then get bumped up in spite of observed history to the contrary.

Less Karaoke, more Bukakke is the lipsynch Rodolfo needs to hear. Pearls not towels.

Think fuckin' big flying scorched-earth reptiles ... in places that often look like Greece or sound like PTG translations of that area. Well, OK, middle earth sounding.

I am going to have to have to give you this one !!!!! You certainly pulled that zinger out of the 'gator swamp. SNAP! You exhibited reptilian patience and Cap'n Hook'd moi. LMAO

Riobard has been, and remains, a fully developed adult male. Beyond loopiness. I am confident that everyone here is of that ilk and has an upcoming maypole dance rehearsal to occupy focus.

Sorry, tomcal. No, really, I got off the blocks too fast again here. Unfair to you! Mea maxima culpa! I know you'll spare me the gladiator sword!

If you find it so offputting that people do not relate to described experiences the way you want; that you among few are the real deal you wish readers grasped; and you are a cut above as someone who really knows how to live, who walks the walk and talks the talk ... why review your travels here? Of course all are welcome here, but surely there is a higher caliber place with a better matched degree of competitiveness for you elsewhere. The Olympics are history but, you know, the Commonwealth Games just were on ... the Gold Coast: perfect!

Early on, before I finetuned my sea legs, I answered the inevitable de onde question by saying Grécia. Of course nobody questioned it or got the economic crisis nuance. They may have thought I was a GOT groupie or an Onassis, if not an exotic moneyed Athenian. I was naïve about the dollars and sense. They need to know in simple terms what to make of you, with a very small number of multiple-choice check boxes. Their first impressions can stick like crazy glue. The advice here is so very valuable for managing that piece, IF you care to. It usually comes down to your financial resources. As oft repeated here, their stage presence supercedes your rep.

Boot camp for them, booty camp for us. Camp all around.
