This seems to be happening regularly. I thought its purpose might be a blank canvas on which to project fantasies. Or, more plausibly, he’s typing bent over forwards or his feet behind his ears, and keeps hitting Enter when he verbalizes “Enter!”

Avianca meal service change
Riobard replied to Riobard's topic in Latin America Men and Destinations
Yes, I had been already been aware at time of booking and seat selection. Thus far, though a long way off and craft changes could occur, it seems that at least one maybe both of the two shorter flights is not QSuite. In sum, YUL-DOH each way Boeing 777-300ER, DOH-BKK Airbus A330-300 (5 rows 2-2-2 configuration), BKK-DOH Airbus A380-800. I believe the latter is a double-decker fleet gradually being re-introduced. Interestingly, seat selection for the 4 flights came to an additional 25% above the base fare within the tier I selected, and was the same charge for each flight. -
China Madness: Allowing Tourists In and Out of the Country
Riobard replied to PeterRS's topic in The Beer Bar
You are ‘cherry-picking’ to support your contrarian view, to manipulate the narrative to undergird your vaccination position. He was aware of the distinction: “so no testing … ”, essentially therefore no testing requirement. He may have missed the distinction between pre-departure and point-of-arrival testing, a format handled differently for in-bound travel among nations, but it’s moot for Japan if vaccination requirements are met. -
China Madness: Allowing Tourists In and Out of the Country
Riobard replied to PeterRS's topic in The Beer Bar
Those ratios are fairly consistent with estimated daily infection rates and viral detection duration in China. Actually, perhaps a temporary travel ban makes more sense than testing on arrival internationally, as the volume is too high to impose and track quarantine. It is conceivable that China will obtain widespread immunity by the end of New Year (22Jan-5Feb), so a travel ban period need not be lengthy since CoV is ripping through so rapidly. So it overlaps with a major holiday; it makes sense to adjust course, as a bloodbath of some high 6-digit / low 7-digit number of Chinese deaths is conceivable anyway. In the scheme of things a 6-week non-essential travel ban is not that punitive. It’s the timing that is unfortunate. For perspective, this attachment seems to be a fair representation of reality: -

Avianca meal service change
Riobard replied to Riobard's topic in Latin America Men and Destinations
For sure. I always bring on some type of nourishment and water in case of emergency anyway. To compensate and selfishly gift myself I just booked Qatar Business Class, Montreal to Southeast Asia via Doha, for late Fall. A bucket-list trip. I committed even prior to reading the reviews, ratings, QSuite details, etc. Looks like I’m in for a gourmet treat comparatively speaking and a restful lengthy trip each way. -
Avianca meal service change
Riobard replied to Riobard's topic in Latin America Men and Destinations
Now I’ve discovered I am in first row of 3 rows of 2:2 configuration that is technically business on Airbus A319 and A320, but is now named Premium in Avianca’s new tier system Premium / Plus / Economy. This Premium tier also charges for food; saw a recent review on YouTube. A new design for short-and mid-haul flights that has allowed more overall seating and reduces average carbon emissions per passenger. The older traditional meal service will continue from Bogotá to LA or Europe ->/<- The fare prices are very good for a more comfortable seat over 6-7 hours, a bit more recline but not lie-flat. I did pay the highest fare, but in absolute terms was not much greater; more so in percentage terms. My receipt indicates Plus but my assigned seat is Premium; likely a term error due to the ongoing system transition. My flight from Brazil back to Colombia is early morning, so lounge access irrelevant anyway, but the YouTube reviewer in this new Premium class had lounge access leaving his CentralAmer nation. -
It appears that Avianca just discontinued automatic inclusive meal service within Latin America and now offers fee-for-service snacks & beverages. I don’t think these are ordered online ahead of time. It seems to be an onboard trolley system, or I would think the attendants walk back and forth because otherwise they would be blocking the aisles for unacceptably long periods. The menu is online. As far as I know, there is no business class Bogotá-to-Brazil destinations, at least not when I purchased tickets. Though my receipt shows VIP lounge access in Bogotá but no such designation for my flight leaving Brazil. Anyhow, not a problem for me as the fares were reasonable. An L class fare; range XS-XXL which is coding for fare conditions/ options/ privileges. The caveat is that cash is not accepted, only Visa or Mastercard. That is the main reason I posted. https://help.avianca.com/hc/en-us/articles/10514456299419-Discover-our-new-onboard-menu

Yeah in Brazil I do both according to my whims. I may have written about the St Moritz playbook in the past. Being clothed is discouraged. It’s not at all like Brazil. There is no stage entertainment. It is more like a traditional sauna (gay baths). And you get a very skimpy towel that you may as well just carry, so I wear a bathing suit, my own sliders, and at times a T-shirt. You might get away with more clothing in the small sofa/TV area or adjacent bar that has barstool seating, both in view of the change room, maybe as far as that level’s toilet at the back. Certainly not upstairs. The masseurs all hang out on that same entrance level where the 3 tiny private massage table stations are, and you won’t miss seeing and intersecting with any of them even if you plunk yourself down on a locker room padded bench the entire time. Drinks service at the small bar; no roving waiter. Admission paid upfront on arrival. Other house charges put on your locker key#, computerized. On “nude days” (Tues/Thurs/Sun) one pays more (typically COP12K extra) for the prerogative to wear more than birthday suit, so the implication is that some clothing is optional, again, as the towel dispensed won’t cover much anyway. I believe I usually obtained a second towel without a hassle. Oddly, the masseurs usually wear a towel or Speedos or panties on non-nude days, but a thong or some garment covering genitalia on nudism days, seemingly contradicting the rule. However, I have not seen the extra charge stated on social media lately, so I will likely ignore it upcoming. Like in Brazil, I tip the equipment/cleaning attendant. If you take a private massage+ you will have needed to leave your clothing in your locker because there is no surface area to speak of in the massage cubicles to put stuff down on. Just massage table and a few square feet for the masseur to move around. No mirror to catch hot reflections during sex. There is a small table and chairs by the locker room. I wouldn’t see sitting there clothed to be necessarily forbidden and you could still chat up providers. The desk attendant can view you there, so he would know you aren’t wandering the premises in your street clothes. There are also two comfy armchairs across from his station. I have sat there clothed with my phone and not been questioned about it. Anyhow, you’d need to check it out yourself.

Many of the strippers (more accurately, skimpily clad dancers, or gogos, as I don’t think there are actual stripping performance themes), work downstairs, including weekdays when the club is not operating. I suspect it is the club venue that is closed but many will be plying their trade earlier in the evening. In fact, perhaps some of the strippers that don’t typically work out of St Moritz will have a go for some holiday cash. I prefer the sauna anyway because I tend to rise early in the morning after a good night’s sleep. Just set your watch’s afternoon time to midnight and ignore that you seem to be in Ushuaia. Also, the sound speakers are really cranked up in Gigolo Erotic House and it’s a small space; hard on the ears.

Businessman robbed - online hookup
Riobard replied to bucknaway's topic in Latin America Men and Destinations
I have JO’d in the past year to a guy’s public domain solo stripper video that remains in my possession, a bit dated from when he apparently saw better days, including broader shoulder span in his mirror. Well, he and another fellow are reported, and charged?, a few months ago, as having been up to no good with clients in Rio. The subjectively hot video images obviously cost-free on multiple levels. Decent dancer, evidently moved on to Cinderella bedtime shenanigans? That GdeP duo catfishing sprang from the site fatalmodel dot com. The one I am referencing sports a Movember ‘stache. Caveat emptor. Now … everybody rush there to survey the “deadly” current inventory, inn’t. -
a few observations from my Nov/Dec trip to Brazil
Riobard replied to babybear2's topic in Gay Brazil
I agree with your assessment based on several weeks in both cities spanning Jan to July this year. I am not so concerned about overhead prices; in fact just congregating in such a setting has its appeal at a social outlet level. However, it’s a challenge to find worthwhile guys in the venue we attend on Rua Pedro Taques. I used to pray that guys from ads would turn out to be garotos de programa there. However, as others have pointed out, there is l Iikely a hierarchy of dignity in terms of how trade is plied. Thus, one is left to screen from escort ad sites, or try one’s hand at the spas with two to four. I hate the ad route, not so much out of security concerns but more so the frequent disparity between what you see and what you get. -

I have found you certainly need to have your wits about you and be clear ahead of time, whereas in Brazil one rarely gets challenged if paying a ‘typical’ amount that is generally accepted. Mind you, small sample set St M. Of 5 or 6 guys spanning a 2019 and a 2022 visit, at least two going for the upsell hustle. So full sex can be as low as COP60,000, above massage 60,000 which is paid to venue, of which provider may get a cut? … after all, he should get paid something especially if it’s only rubdown. Interestingly, one reasonable price (60K) full sex fellow had done a stint at Spunk and/or NYC Adonis where strippers make comparatively huge bank in private dances and off-site. Obviously I added a generous tip; a solid seeing to for merely $15USD is ridiculously low. He sighed, shrugged, and rolled his eyes at my account of the cash hustle guys. The stabs at upsell were up to COP300,000 😂 But that type would typically run 7-figure COP equivalency where I live.

Visting Latin America need tips!
Riobard replied to Phoenixblue's topic in Latin America Men and Destinations
A few Sampa massage spa examples, mostly a bit younger and smaller than my preference but cute for sure. Older and bigger guys can be viewed. For me, younger smaller guys must have the face; physique models all ages or older gym-built guys: really handsome a bonus but not critical. Steroidal acne a turn off. Below images from InHouse Agencia, Gold Therapy, and XtudioLotus. Grand Spazio Masculino not depicted. #3 = #9 (photo chronology gremlins). Provider turnover (inventory, not necessarily position) is rapid. I have only been to InHouse. Secure settings, whereas escort sites have plentiful options but more AYOR. -

Addendum: Technically I will require Yellow Fever vacc doc travelling from Brazil to Colombia but not vice versa. First time in years I will need to remember to bring it. And I will need to complete Colombia CheckMig four times. -

Riobard replied to Phoenixblue's topic in Latin America Men and Destinations
I have Yellow Fever vaccination document, so I don’t recall the ins and outs of whether mixing and matching Colombia & Brazil necessitates such. I don’t think so, but you cannot enter some countries without YF vaxx after having been in one or the other, or both. For example, Panama which is a common connection for SoAmer. -
Visting Latin America need tips!
Riobard replied to Phoenixblue's topic in Latin America Men and Destinations
I’ll chime in and suggest Brazil, as a punter having travelled to both, and this winter will be a few months splitting the two. Easier access in Brazil to the types to hire you like, as our tastes overlap somewhat. There’s essentially only one provider sauna in Colombia (St Moritz in Bogotá) analogous to the several on tap in Brazil, and the few curated private massage spa venues that don’t have overlapping club/food features in Brazil will also yield more of your type. Brazil does not have a strip club with private dances, whereas Bogotá has Gigolo Erotic House right above St Moritz. A month in Brazil can fly quickly by particularly if you do more than one city. The problem will possibly be never visiting Colombia as FOMO may take over when considering subsequent bypassing of Brazil. Later today, I’ll try to provide some examples of Brazil tantrica massage spa team images to see if I have interpreted your tastes accurately. They exist in the public domain. In contrast, photos of sauna garotos de programa are discouraged. You will also find escort sites through your searches here. -
Visting Latin America need tips!
Riobard replied to Phoenixblue's topic in Latin America Men and Destinations
Well … this one? Copenhagen. However, not the chocolate shop chain in Brazil, Kopenhagen. But speaking of newbies in candy shops, you are asking very general questions that have elusive answers. Handsome fit young men are a dime a dozen anywhere, but not priced like that. First things first: are your aspirations hiring or scoring? You have managed to evade attempts at queries about expectations. There is a huge difference and we get tired of second- guessing what advice would be helpful. -
Well you now have an image back. Superheroes here don’t get bounced. The Oxford Dictionary word of the year just announced is actually a phrase: ‘goblin mode’, so all sorta hella gremlin/troll phenomena be happening. Recent Updates by timeline seems not to be functioning either.

I realize it had been cleared up @BlkSuperman; I was mostly kidding and know you keep safety first. But what inquiring minds now want to know is why you whited out your name-handle image so that not even B is displayed. Are you or am I dreaming of a blizzardy Xmas? Or maybe you entered a far too over-the-top X-rated avatar?🤔

Just so I have this straight: ordering up two ham-handed and hung police polygamists accompanied by multiple wives that may or may not be aware of one another, or women that may or may not be police or polygamists but are posing as polyamory spouses and sufficiently attractive for the two stranglers to recruit into the scenario for the sake of their own fantasies. And I thought I was … a lot. With all this ambiguity I suggest that you make it clear the goal is to emerge from bondage and asphyxiation, during a brutalizing anal seeing to, alive and without brain damage. Thus, you might pay up afterwards.
