Has anyone visited the Wild Thermas Club in São Paulo?

My personal hypothesis here is that the human brain is wired to fuck things - probably for evolutionary purposes - that are different. Grindr definitely works much better for me in Brazil than it does in hometown USA which is the main reason I keep return again and again and again to Brazil.

This is the whole sex worker issue that I believe you and I agreed to disagree about previously. You see it in black and white and, well, I don’t. Last time you posted a scene from Sesame Street which I thought was quite clever as I recall. In any case, I take Friend at his word because he is a friend. I also believe him because while I never used IG to, um, supplement my income by fucking tourists in exchange for dollars I guess since I grew up in America, I did model when I was in school and the photographers - approximately 100% of whom were gay - expected to be able to touch me and watch me change clothes in front of them during the shoots which I allowed because it was expected and it didn’t really bother me all that much and it was an easy way to earn some extra money. In any case though, I stopped doing that and don’t see why someone else couldn’t do the same. I have also stayed in touch with one of the photographers and consider him to be a friend even though he is now very old and I am old. We get together a few times per year and go out to dinner.

Some combination of he is getting older and doesn’t want/need to do it anymore. He is actually the second Brazilian I know who has “retired” when he hit his late-20’s. I believe him because his social media is much less suggestive than it used to be. I also cannot think of a reason why he would want to mislead me about it which is the main reason I believe him. In any case though, I only included that detail so that readers would know compensation was not a factor in his experiences.

So, I spent a few days in Vegas with my friend from Brazil earlier this month and now have a question for the esteemed members of this board. Background: Friend is a gorgeous 28 year old from RJ that speaks English decently but since his vocabulary comes mainly from listing to American music there still are some issues. Friend has been known to fuck tourists in exchange for reais but says he is not doing that here and I believe him. In order to experience America fully, friend used Grindr to meet people he found attractive in Vegas and elsewhere in America (full disclosure, his taste skews heavily toward tall white men) and told me he had the following experiences all inside of about a two week period: 1. Met a guy at a hotel who after they were both naked spent most of his time and energy massaging Friend’s feet and rubbing his dick against Friend’s feet. Friend did not like this and made an excuse to leave. 2. Met a local guy at his house who was “hot and a good bottom” but apparently asked Friend if he could watch him pee after they were done having sex. Friend did not like this and blocked the guy after he left the house even though the sex was good and the guy politely walked away after Friend said no to his request to watch. 3. Met a tall blond hair blue eyed insanely attractive guy at a hotel. After walking into the suite, his Grindr date introduced him to “surprise” a 60-something year old out of shape white guy that wanted to watch them fuck. Since Grindr date was apparently one of the most attractive guys Friend has ever met, Friend went through with the encounter and let the old guy watch. If you are wondering, yes, this happened in Vegas. The suite was in the Wynn to be specific. Friend uses Grindr in RJ and swears that nothing like these incidents has ever happened (or ever will) to him in Brazil. Is America really that much more kinky than Brazil? If so, why? If anything, I would have expected the opposite. Brazil has always seemed to be relaxed about sex for the most part and America, well, as discussed in other threads, I’m still astounded that America somehow leads the world in handing out PrEP free of charge so that gay boys can safely exchange bodily fluids with each other.

22:00 to 02:00 on Friday and/or Saturday night (I don’t recall which night I went but know it was on the weekend). I’m told Sunday afternoons can be good as well.

I have certain advantages in this life as do most others that read and post here. In my case, it is American money and education and, based on the way you write, I strongly suspect we share those advantages. While it was fun to suggest that you look into joining the abstinence-only club, perhaps we could just agree that using our advantages to obtain sem camisinha from a GP (or really anyone) that would prefer to use condoms is wrong. Period.

Have you, by any chance, used Grindr in the United States at any point in, say, the last two or three years…? You appear to fall into the condoms-only club which is fine and apparently right for you but the membership is dwindling. Times (and technology) change and with them attitudes. Lastly, I cannot help but mention that you may also want to investigate the abstinence-only club. I’m told it has the lowest risk of them all…

But what about 18 year olds that one meets on Grindr that like taking pictures from the rooftop of your “fancy” hotel to post on their IG account that have taken PrEP for their entire sexually active lives and that think condoms are only for when they occasionally have sex with women who can get pregnant and all…? You’re right, instead of feeling incredibly old when he told me he had “always” been on PrEP and then letting both of us make a risk based decision because that’s what adults do (even if they are only 18), I should have lecture him about the necessity of wearing condoms during a time when he was a child. I wish I could end this post by saying that we had mind blowing sex but, unfortunately, he turned out to be an attractive dud. Hopefully in a few years he will be better able use the gifts that God gave him and we can try again….

I suggest you read the recent thread in the Colombia forum titled observations. The thing you desire directly correlates to the amount of time PrEP has been available in a given place (and the cost of access). Oddly enough, Merica leads the way in helping gay boys exchange certain bodily fluids with each other safely. You don’t even have to take a pill every day any more…. An injection once every two months is also available (and free) if you prefer. Perhaps our best days really are ahead of us. Now, if only this country would take the same enlighten approach to granting a visa to a certain 28 year old that has an amazing pau but “non-traditional” employment in Rio de Janeiro….

So, even if I do sound like a drunken third grader, I am able to communicate in Portuguese which is important. I also prefer to see the same few guys multiple times rather than endless random dick (yes, I’m aware that most others on here feel differently which is fine) and I have established the needed connections in Rio to do so. Most of my future trips will continue to be to Brazil.

True, but Brazil has certain things in spades that I have not been able to find elsewhere.

Wasted time….? It took less than 20 min to apply and cost $80 USD.

I applied for my visa to travel to Brazil on the weekend of March 16th and it was approved around noon on Monday, March 18th. Based on this thread though it sounds like I may or may not get to actually use it when I travel to RJ in mid-April. In other (somewhat related) news, a friend of mine from Brazil applied for a tourist visa to travel to the United States in 2022 and it was approved in late-2023. He made the trek here earlier this year. Apparently, the food is too spicy and everything is more expensive than he thinks it should be (other than Apple products which are less expensive for some reason) but he is a fan and is planning a return trip in June. He wants to go to Vegas. If you are wondering, yes, he has been known to fuck tourists in exchange reais but - being the intelligent young man that he is - he left that off his application and instead provided documentation concerning his job selling insurance. During the interview, he also apparently stated that he wanted to travel to the United States for futevôlei tournaments. In any case, it’s nice to have Brazil visit me and Vegas can be fun in very small doses.

True, I guess it’s not really possible to tell unless we can see a picture of him when he is not hard.
