@Badboy81you should think about going to the sauna in Bangu on Sunday(casa grande?). It’s scrubby and I wouldn’t use the rooms but had some guys you never see in pointe or 117.

Reading through some of the posts here, I get jealous, wishing I could still enjoy the sauna like you all. Enjoy it how I did a couple of years ago when I first came to Rio. Now the novelty has worn off, and I only go when friends are in town or a random Tuesday or Wednesday to see what’s new. And it always feels like a waste of time. I'm connected on SM to any of the guys I’m interested in, and 117 never seems to have any new guys that fit what I like. 202 is the definition of hit or miss. But I must say I went to Bangu two Sundays ago and had a great time. It was full of favela guys, and some were sexy. Anyways I’m going to Santo Domingo for Halloween. I’ll try to write a little here about it. I’m going to reach out to Manny. Hopefully, he’s forgotten my public criticism. Lol

I get usernames a d real people confused sometime but I know you @bucknaway correct?

@bucknaway yes I find our experiences can be very different than others. I find there is a shared connection between most minority communities. But when it comes to GP no matter how much you think they like you it’s about the money. They might give you a little more time at no charge if they enjoy your company but it’s about the real! Lol The community outside the GP world is where I think the difference really shows. Black culture is global and something we can all easily connect on. Plus we don’t stand out too much when we decide to go off the normal Gringo path. No one looks at me weird when I go to Rochina on a Saturday night to listen to Somba in the street. The truth is I have never seen any violence in the favelas. The bandidos don’t allow it. There are steep penalties for commuting crimes in the favelas. I’ve been to more than 50 this year and never saw anything past a heated argument. Now if you go to a favela where you don’t know anyone you will prob get robbed because you don’t know the bandidos chefe. @davet I’ve always taken an Uber there and back and never had any type of delay in catching one. You can go as early as 3 or 4 but I usually get there around 6 and stay until around 9:30-10. The area is safe.

I have been wanting to write about my crazy adventures in Brazil. Because for the better part of the past year I have been living in Rio working remote. It’s been a life changing experience. Once I broke free of the GP scene (be careful it’s a trap). I discovered a whole new world! I have experienced places in Rio that I don’t think many Gringos or expats wouldn’t dare to venture to. Bailes in Mandu, São Joao, Penha, Providencia, CDD, Rocinha, Vidigal and so many other cool places. Which were all very safe for me because I used common sense. Also because I’m a young black man and I’m accompanied by other black Brazilians I never don’t feel safe. It’s been amazing getting to know people and really finding my place in the city. The experience of a younger bisexual black American man is a unique one. And it has gotten meinto some amazing situations. There are also some amazing parties outside the favelas gringos don’t go to. Park Bar in Lagoa on Wednesday night! When I do log in here I get a lot of questions about the sauna in Bangu. It’s called Boate Casa Grande google it for the address and all that info. It’s best on Sunday but open on Friday and one other day I don’t remember. Don’t pay more than 100 and don’t go if it’s raining. Invest in learning Portuguese, the past 6 months I’ve taken it serious and it feels great actually knowing what people are saying around you. I've also spent significant time in Bahia so if you have any questions lmk. And to think just a couple of weeks ago I found out the beach showers is where most people go to take a piss.Especially when the ocean is cold. Lol!!!

No I’ve had covid and I live in Atlanta. I don’t see much more risk of being here. If I get covid again here it would suck but it also sucks in the USA lol.

Panohealth in Atlanta gets the results back same day by 3 or 4pm as long as you take the test before 11am. I took my test yesterday at 9am and got my results back at 2pm for $100. Now I’m back in Brazil. I’ve used them 3 times. If you are in Atlanta do not use “Same day testing”. A few weeks back I paid for 48 hour results and it took them 72 hours to get the results making it useless. I hope this helps someone.

@RiobardFor my flight on the 11th I had not filled out the declaration form before I arrived but I was able to complete it at the gate without issue. I only had to show the confirmation email to The ticket agent. Everything was accepted digitally. @alwaysrio last night 202 was jammed packed! I pretty much only go to 202 on free cabin night. On Sunday I will go to a Sauna about an hour away from Rio. I have never heard it described here so I will provide and update on my thread.

@Badboy81we are prob just going to miss each other, I leave on the 20th. @babybear2ill give a full update when I’m done with my trip. Covid combined with cheap tickets and low rent has allows me to spend extensive time in Salvador these past few months.

Yes!! And I got the dick suckers on video! They didn’t even care! It was definitely wild! Its 72 hours from the time your sample is taken. Not 72 hour from the time you get your results. I think that confused some people. Some also were hours late and tried to get on the flight but couldn’t.

Hi Guys, I thought I would give a quick update about my most recent trip to Rio. I’ve been in Brazil the better part of the past 3-4 months. But in mid-December, I went home for what I thought would be a few months. On a last-minute whim with encouragement from friends, I decided to go back to Rio for New Years'! I booked my flight on the 29th with Delta, a one-way to SP, for about $350 and arrived in Brazil on the 31st. The flight time did not leave me much time for a PCR test as rapid is not accepted. I found a laboratory in Atlanta that would do the test with same-day results for $180. There were about ten people who I observed that were not allowed to board the flight due to the dates on their test. Once I arrived, I headed for my apartment then the beach. The beach was more packed than I have ever seen in my life. All the Paulistas come to Rio for the new year. Thousands of guys flooded the beaches. I ended up having to bargain with someone for two chairs and an umbrella 100real. It was worth it. Guys were making out and sucking dick and showing off their erections. The police raided the beach on three occasions, confiscating people’s speakers who were playing loud music. For NYE, the first party I went to was in Vidigal. It was fun with many people but not the vibe my local Brazilian companions were looking for. So we went to a party in Morro de Providencia. And my god, it was insane. Thousands of people packed into a tent. We partied until 7 am. The beaches remained packed but at a much more enjoyable level. On a side note, a Brazilian told me that the beach is divided by race. White gay Brazilians stay closer post nine while brown and black gays stay around the hot boyz tent. This was very evident after the Paulistas left. For the first 3 days I did my straight thing, then hit the saunas for the first time this past Sunday. The Sauna scene was underwhelming until yesterday at Point. I saw about 5 new boys that I was interested in. And took 3 of them home with me. I tried to upload w picture of the beach but got an error message. Next for me is São Paulo then back to

If you had to write this maybe it was better left unsaid. Your comments were targeted generalization and very much so unnecessary. And WTF is a punter?? I’ve been in Brazil the better part of the past 3 months and never heard that term. Whether you realize it or not you are clearly a bigot and this will be my last time addressing you.

I went to the new Meio Mundo a couple of weeks ago on live sex night. The drag queen was fun but none of the guys were up to my standard. A friend went earlier that night and said there was a fun sex party backstage. I didn’t see any guys I would want to participate in a sex party with.

I arrive in São Paulo on Sunday 11/15 in the morning but my flight back to the USA leaves late that night. Anyone interested in getting lunch then hitting the sauna? Some English speaking company would be nice!

I guess it depends on your type. It’s definitely not Rio. The guys are much more “boy next door” type. I’ve only run into two or 3 guys I would consider 117 quality. I def found a few gems but most of my best connections were made through IG. Or a friend of a friend type deal.
