I believe Junior is planning a birthday party for 202 this December. I hope it gets some buzz and people. The only day it gets really packed is Wednesday. The rest of the days I went were almost empty. It’s a shame I had a great time on Wednesday with four cute programs. One of them lived it up at 2 hours from Copacabana, poor boy imagine. He was so hot we repeated it. One those that some may call twink. I sent him home in an Uber. As the Good Samaritan that I am.

Okay, guys, I’m back from my trip to Rio. I’ll give a quick summary now, and once I’m rested (probably while recovering from the post-Thanksgiving stupor), I’ll do a more complete thread, maybe a new one. I had an amazing time overall! Even though it rained for a couple of days, most of the week was beautiful—sunny with nice weather in the low 70s. Paradise. I did a lot of touristy things, but I won’t bore you with the details. I also had a lot of beach time. Interestingly, or maybe because I went early, the gay area of the beach wasn’t as busy as usual. I usually go after 9 PM in Ipanema, including eating at Boteco Belmonte during off-peak hours. I wouldn’t dare try eating there during peak times. As for the Copacabana gay beach, it was so boring that I went once and never went back. Do you guys remember how I didn’t want to fight for rooms during the free room night? Well, I was wrong. I’m glad it was only for one past trip. But 117 was a blast! It was total mayhem, and wow, I had so much fun. It reminded me of the old days when there were so many hot guys that you had to be a hawk to catch the hottets garoto and hottest as body, face and XXL And boy, I did! I put aside any little pride I had and went for the top-tier options. I was ruthless. because there was a lot of competition since there seems to be some type of garoto that only goes that day, and the regulars have the advantage of the culture, language 202 (the free cabin day) was also r\ good, but it’s only great that day—the rest of the days was slow, and I didn't stay to find out if any hot GP showed up. What a shame that Point 202 is so slow, but they are working on having parties, and I think sex shows hopping will increase attendance. Also, the difference in the types of garotos is striking. mostly xxl mulato type, that is fine with me, but I’m wondering if 117 isn’t allowing some types of garoto who aren’t in that crowd. I’m still feeling the hangover and a bit of the blues about leaving behind amazing sex, kisses, soreness, and so many love stories—you know, the half-hour ones, my favorites. I’m already looking into options for February/March, but this time, I’ll be adding SP to the mix!

Okay guys, I’ll be in Rio tomorrow. But I can’t believe it’s raining again. I mean, I could stay indoors all day, jumping from saunas to clubs to restaurants and so on. But why is there so much rain in Rio every time I visit? Meanwhile, NYC is as dry as a kite. So, it’s not me. I hope to have a couple of sunny beach days to relax and enjoy. Fortunately, the exchange rate is excellent. Another issue was that my Brazil SIM card expired and was given to someone else. Consequently, when I attempted to send a test refill to “activate” it, it was sent to the wrong person. Did you all know about this, or was it just my naivety? By the way, I have a TIM Brazil phone. I hope the refill was given to a good cause, perhaps a garoto 🤪

What is the Fatal Model? This is the first time I’ve heard about it. I prefer to meet in person at different places, but so far these are the ones I've bookmarked. Are there any other suggestions? https://garotocomlocal.com. https://www.vivalocal.com. https://fatalmodel.com/ Well, I am responding to my question because I found some additional listing by using the search: garoto de program + the city

Oh, maybe it's because of the Heritage price and the narrow rooms? I will continue staying there. The last time I visited was in April, and it was fine. I love how quiet it is! If San Gabriel didn't have those weird tiny stairs to get to the rooms, I would stay there more often. I found the prices at San Gabriel to be ridiculously cheap, but they are often sold out. I discovered San Gabriel thanks to another Lagoa patron, a Dutch guy. The area around Frei Caneca is beautiful. While some people favor Jardines, I adore how easy it is to walk from Frei Caneca to Avenida Paulista and any of the hotels I listed for Lagoa. I hope you have a great trip! I am eager for mine to arrive in Rio.

Hi @12is12 May I ask what happened with Heritage? It is my hotel to go to in SP. Yes, the rooms are small - ok, very small, but I like how quiet it is, has a great breakfast, and is very convenient to Lagoa. If you like to walk, since it is not that convenient to Uber, it will need to give more turns than necessary. it is an alternative and cheap but comfortable hotel, The San Gabriel, that is equally close to Lagoa and another hotel I stayed at once: L'Hotel PortoBay. Of course, it all depends on the budget. I love that area: Rua Frei Caneca, very close to Lagoa, Consolação, and Paulista. And it has a cute and convenient mall. Also it is pretty gay.

thanks @Xclay i found this page with a lot of places that I haven't heard anyone mention before: https://latenightcruisin.com/parties/parties-2024/latin-america/rio-de-janeiro/ I'm creating an agenda for my trip, as my main focus will be on visiting gay-friendly (GP) places, and non-GP options, and enjoying some beach time. In addition to the locations that some of us have mentioned before, which I've previously visited—like Taurus Bar https://youtu.be/LJqMLWSFRCk and SevenBar https://www.sevencruisingbar.com.br/festa, both of which I enjoyed—I found There are some new places to check it out. I will explore. Most of these are not GP, but I want to check them out since my time at GP venues is limited. They are active only for 5 to 8 Some of these locations may be closed, but I will provide updates on my experiences when I return. SAUNA CHUPPS CLUB at REZENDE STREET, 28 – LAPA (RIO DE JANEIRO) ( this one is intriguing) @saunacarioca NAME: ABERTO TODOS OS DIAS OCCURRENCE: SUNDAY (DOMINGO)TIME: 15H-22H (3PM-10PM) VENUE: SAUNA CARIOCA ADDRESS: RUA BARAO DE GUARATIBA, 20-CATETE (RJ) since I am working from home and while I check all this places, I will start the Rio de Janeiro for newbies and adventourse over 50 and no attitude but to have good time. I haven't touched a guy since April so I am starving 😛

Yes, I went to both 117 and 202, and I’m still figuring out which one I prefer. I just wish they were newer, with better rooms. I read that some people on the forum aren’t fans of the new Lagoa building in São Paulo, but since I didn’t know the old one, I like Thermas setup a lot. It has a nice setup compared to the ones in Rio, especially with the newer rooms and a very nice bar area. I also went to Rio G Sauna, but I didn’t like it there—it’s just not my type of place; it was empty, and the space was so narrow and hard to move around. Taurus, on the other hand, was a lot of fun, though exhausting. It was one of the few places where I had a good time without needing to pay; I don’t exactly have the body (i am a chub) or the usual luck to score in places like that, but Taurus was a blast. I visited a few other places, but I’ll revisit them and report back.

Thanks. Floridarob. I agree that nothing good happens, late at night, mostly because my older self is already tired by then after the gp used my body for pleasure 😛. That’s why I sometimes go to a bar to sit and relax until I feel it’s time to head back to my hotel, grab an Uber, and rest until noon the next day. That’s my usual routine in São Paulo, where there’s not much to do before 2 p.m. except eat and shop. But since this is Rio, I might hit the beach earlier. There’s a wonderful restaurant in Ipanema that makes the best pork sandwich on the planet, and last time, I even found a great group of those that run the spots and rent the chair and umbrella at the beach who treated me like royalty and were very welcoming. I keep going to their spot near the gay beach, which I think is at Post 9. And since i ve been a loner all my life i always know to bring a waterproof pouch/bag to bring my belongings with me when taking a dip. A short one since i am not a waves expert In São Paulo, I went to most of the bars and clubs, with and without table service, and had a great time. I was treated so well there too. In Rio, I went to Club Taurus, which was wild, but after a couple of hours, I was ready for a change of pace. I hope to find a nice lounge-type bar this time to unwind after a day of beach and shopping

Hi everyone. I’m back and finally recuperating from my quad repair surgery. I'm only halfway through my recovery, but I've booked a trip to Rio. I’ll be going the week of the 10th and returning a couple of days before Thanksgiving. I want to give Rio another chance, plus I really need some sun and warmth after resting for the past four months. I will write my usual report. I'm unsure whether to start a new thread or continue in my "Brazil for Newbies" thread. Please let me know your preference. I would be more than happy to share my experience, as thanks to this forum, I had an amazing time and better sex than in my past 40+ years. As much as I love São Paulo, I realized that with such a short amount of time, I should focus on one place. Since I really needed some fresh air, I decided to try Rio and start as a newbie. Finding a hotel on short notice wasn't easy, but I'm glad there's a nonstop flight from NYC to Rio, which also has the best timing. I’ll arrive in Rio around 10:30 AM, unlike other flights with connections that land at midnight or 6 AM. I honestly can’t understand how people managed without direct flights! Any suggestions would be appreciated. I’ll skip talking about the old times with supermodels GP and how dangerous Brazil can be—there’s not much I can do about that, except to be careful. I have a Brazilian phone and a SIM card that I’ll use, and I plan to Uber everywhere. I'm looking for recommendations for a club or bar that attracts a younger, attractive crowd. I believe Le Boy is one such place? I want to explore the younger gay scene in Rio. In São Paulo, it was easy to find clubs and bars with a younger audience where I could enjoy some eye candy and maybe buy a drink for a few hot guys I found that the hot guys in Brazil are way nicer to me than any other place. or maybe I was just lucky.

It did work for me. Actually, glad I checked it out so I find out that GOL for SP and Rio have stopovers. That will work perfectly for me. In my next trip I won’t be able to do it since during the holidays, after November, I had little time available so I am doing the AA NYC Rio direct flight. I will report- if I go, otherwise next year 😕

I started this thread and am unsure if I should start a new one or continue here, as there seems to be some side-tracking. If I post, it’s because I want to share with all of you, so please let me know if I should keep going here or start a new thread for Rio. I’ve realized I didn’t fully appreciate Rio due to the rain and some issues with the saunas. The saunas were a bit worn out, which affected my impression. Plus, the weather didn’t help, so I’ll reserve any judgment for now. I don’t mind places being a bit worn out—I was at the Republic cabins and movie theaters, after all! I’m currently recovering from quad repair surgery, and since I need to rest and take it easy, it wasn’t as bad as I expected. Consequently, I’ve changed all my plans. I’ve canceled my September trip to Brazil and my November trip to Barcelona, and I’m now considering Rio for late October or November. Any tips? I know December is high season, and I want to stay in the States for Thanksgiving. So it would be appreciated since my vacation plans are hanging by a thread due to my leg recovery, and I’m not a kid anymore—quite the opposite. Previously, I focused on São Paulo with a possibility of Rio, but this time I’m considering either skipping São Paulo altogether and staying in Rio or spending some time in São Paulo and then the rest in Rio. I want to enjoy the city and the experiences it offers. I noticed that American Airlines has non-stop flights, which is a plus. I’ve been an American Airlines customer for years, including c.c, but my last trip had poor service. Recently, Delta has been the best option for me. I haven’t had any hookups sex in months so I’ll be quite hungry when I arrive. I would have been better prepared if I were further along in my physical therapy, but I’ll know by mid-September when I can walk without a cane. I’m really looking forward to Brazil—it’s such a great country, and the people there make me feel incredible. Since I was young, I wasn't blessed with looks or charisma, so I haven't had many s, and hookups or dating have always been a struggle for me., but in Brazil, it’s so great. Especially all my times in SP Lagoa—deep kissing, BFE with wild or tender sex. I hope I can find that in Rio. Wish me luck! to be continued...

thanks, @Canadianbtmguy and @buttercawan I tried, and if I include Rio, I always have to stop in São Paulo or another country, like Panama or another Latin American country. If it weren't for my friends waiting for me in Barcelona for my November trip, I would switch to going in October. I might end up doing the same as last time: a round trip to JFK and then taking GOL to São Paulo and Rio. The prices for Brazil are higher compared to last year or when I went in March/April. It’s strange that Rio, one of the biggest tourist cities in the world, doesn't have many direct flights from NYC. I checked flights from Miami to Rio, and the only direct flight from American Airlines is outrageously expensive, starting at $1500 for the economy. I still want to include Rio in my trip because I’ve read so many people in forums discussing their plans for Rio. I thought it would be easy, but it seems like Rio isn’t as easy as it used to be. In April, I paid $40 for a round trip from São Paulo to Rio with an extra leg, so it was easy. I guess I will do the same or forget about Rio. I never thought of taking a bus since it was so cheap before. I’ll let you know how it goes. I already have my BCN flight; it was such a great price to do NYC to BCN I got Premium for 600, and Iberia has 400 tickets. , and I added Zurich for my 17-day Eurotrip.

Well, I thought the driver would be the one giving the first sign. It's kind of hard and potentially dangerous for me to make a move on a driver who might get angry, take me who knows where, or just throw me out of the moving car. Either way, whether the driver initiates or the passenger does, it sounds hot, but I've never been in that situation. I've heard about it but have no clue how to make it happen. I already booked my hotels in those two cities, which can easily be rebooked. I just need to figure out, as I mentioned in the other thread, how to visit both cities easily. Regarding luggage, I don't worry since, over the years, I've learned how to pack in a carry-on and a backpack. I don't kid myself; for those types of trips, I just need the minimum. I'm a very laid-back traveler.

Thanks, @Xclay. Good to know. October is a bit later than my plans. I hope to visit São Paulo/Rio de Janeiro in September and then Barcelona in November. I can see why Rio is a favorite for most people on the Brazil forum, with its many tourist options and at least two GP saunas. However, I enjoy São Paulo, and I have three regular providers there from my past two trips. They are exactly my type and are cool, nice guys to have as regulars. and it helps that, they are also hot and hung tops. Rio hasn't been kind to me. The last time I was there, it rained every day. Only two days were not rainy, but they were very cloudy. The weather prevented me from doing the tourist activities I had planned. It rained so much that I ended up going to the aquarium, which is not really my type of attraction. I wish I knew how to arrange a stopover since flights to Rio almost always stop in São Paulo. That way, I could stay there for a couple of days before heading to Rio and give Rio the proper attention it deserves. So far i have the hotels for all the 3 cities booked and I will make my decision for my Brazil trip this July.

i've never been able to hook up with a taxi driver or Uber driver. It might be exciting, but no, I'm not the type who gets hit on. that used to bother me, but now it doesn't. I'm the one who chooses who I want to be with. I think I'll stick to São Paulo and Rio. It's not that I'm tired of them; quite the opposite, I can't wait to go back. there so much I can do and discover there.I wish I could go every three months, lol, but I can't. I have a bunch of responsibilities here in my city.

I noticed that there are rarely any non-stop flights from NYC to Rio, but there are direct flights to São Paulo. How do you manage to visit both cities? Last time, I booked a flight to Rio (SOL) while in São Paulo. It was pretty cheap and fast. I did JFK to São Paulo, then São Paulo to Rio, then Rio to São Paulo, and finally São Paulo to JFK. Don't be too harsh on me—it was my first time in Rio. Would it be better to do just JFK to São Paulo to Rio and then back to JFK?l from Rio? Any recommendation? A This time, I will have only 10 days, including a weekend, and I really want to visit Rio again.

Reading this post, I’m starting to understand the question, "Why is he constantly in Brazil?" I've never thought I would be asked that since I've been single/divorced for five years. But when I mentioned that I already booked Rio and São Paulo for September, I got the "AGAIN?" This made me smile because I read about OP’s predicament. Luckily, I was able to brush it off, and people didn’t pay much attention to my non-answer. I also have the "loner" label. It’s funny how people ask why I don’t travel to other places in the world. I do! I go to Spain once a year and visit other European countries as well, but I am addicted to Brazilian meat 😜 Also, I am wondering if there are any other cities worth visiting besides São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Based on the comments in this thread, Salvador doesn't sound too promising. Is there anything worth visiting in Rio Grande do Sul? I read it has a significant European population. so may some yummy GP? i may be wrong since I am not entirely familiar with Brazil's geography.

Brazil never disappoints, wow. They are the best and put big cities to shame. They have everything needed for a great time starting for the GP. Usually, I'm not lucky in places where you don't have to pay, I am one of those who leave a sex club here in the States, empty-handed 😕 and frustrated due to age and body type discrimination. But in Brazil, I swear I felt like a hot 20-year-old in those clubs. still prefer a hot GP hotter than I will get in those places. I'm glad I learned about Brazil, even if it's a bit late in life and is not as great as some posters mentioned it was back in the day, and I'm catching up now. I can't wait to be back in September I am planning Barcelona for my birthday, in November, but I am tempted to go to Brazil twice the rest of the year.

wow. the dollar is so strong now, that I wish I could take some time off to go back to Brazil 1.00 US Dollar = 5.2063108 Brazilian Reais

I've been closely following this case, much to my dismay since I wish I could avoid it. Being fluent in Spanish and having many ties and friends in Barcelona, it's incredibly infuriating how the blame has been placed on the Colombian doctor. They've gone as far as to suggest that the doctor wanted to rape the younger Spaniard, and that the Spaniard bought the knife to cut coconuts, despite not buying any coconuts or meat to cut, and purchasing trash bags to use as umbrellas for the rain. It's so frustrating—I can't help but put myself in the position, and it's scary of the violence, and because of the media defending a "straight guy" young attractive and, painted press words “halo effect” against an older male. The father of the killer is a Spanish actor who already has a documentary series on HBO Max where he claims his son was in a vulnerable age, even though the guy is 29 years old. Single. Never married without a stable job. The Dr was already a famous surgeon in Colombia and chile nad want to open another clinic in Barcelona so he can live and support his killer. crazy 🤬😳😡😡😡

Hi. I believe the guys are free, i Dont know, read, or heard anyone asking or offer atipping for interactions, although I'm unsure as I didn't engage with any.i would ask? If be ready to tip if it's the right guy. One staff member at the Hot House mentioned that interactives get paid by the house R$120, which seems relatively low. When I visit bars with interactives, I usually carry 50 real bills just in case. I only used it once, with a non GP, to tip a go-go boy who wasn't an interactive at Hot House, and he was stunning. It was a rare occurrence as I've been to Hot House several times and have never encountered such a classic beauty. I enjoy the atmosphere of places with strippers and attractive guys; I love holding a handsome guy while having my drink. i keep tipping him so no other clients hold it. Until it was his turn to dance 🙃

Now, some places in São Paulo that I didn't mention and visited for the first time: Upgrade Sex Club: I went when they had interactives. Three guys were acting as interactives, and you can see the type of interactive guys and the clients who attend on their Twitter page: https://twitter.com/upgradesxclub It's pretty accurate. Something I like about Brazil is that they don't try to present the type of guy that won't be there. You know, it's so easy or tempting to put a couple of Greek god-looking guys, but they present the type of guys that you will find. You may like or not like that type, but I found it honest and liberating. I was at Upgrade for 2 hours, and it wasn't that crowded. You enter, and they give you the locker key, in that place a few of us were naked only with jockstraps and sneakers; and upstairs is a bar with really great bartenders guys. They're very nice and reliable, again not picture-perfect pretty boys, but with great bodies and awesome personalities in their mid-30s. So that was a plus. Then you walk to the back, and it's mostly slings and dark corners, not cubicles. It's very dark but with enough dimmed light to see around. It's like the other clubs, and having the choice of those super hot GPs spoiled my taste. Since I don't have the same energy anymore, I go to those places to check them out, but because they are usually after the saunas, I'm already satisfied and tired. So I went there to check it out, but it's nice that I was able to have some interactions, something that here in the States has become harder and harder as you get older. these two pics from their websites are pretty accurate of the lighting and space. it is only that. this is it. including the bar (3rd pic)that once you sit in it the place looks like picture one. f Another place in São Paulo that I visited for the first time was Hotel Chill: https://www.hotelchilli.com.br/ Wow, someone in their 30s would love that place! It's huge, it's loud, and it's perfect for those who don't mind a heavy-duty sex club. I guess it's called a hotel because it's one of the few, at least from my visits to sex clubs in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, that have little rooms with beds and keys. It's like the saunas here in America. Have you guys been to GI Joe in Montreal? It's like that but bigger, with a bunch of whirlpools. For me, it was fun but also a bit overwhelming. I was there after a heavy session at Lagoa, so I enjoyed the music, had some drinks, and left. I don't think it would work as an actual hotel where you leave your suitcase and keep visiting other places. I guess you can since they allow multiple entries, but it's so loud and there's so much fun happening around you that I doubt you can use it as what a hotel means - to relax and rest. It has four floors and it's a bit complicated, with elevators, thank God! People are super friendly, mostly in their 30s and 40s, and some in their 50s. Again, I didn't feel discriminated against as I sometimes do in those types of places if you're not hot, young, or have a muscular body. The staff are super friendly. Yes, Brazil is a dream for those of us who aren't lucky in the looks department. And if you're hot, oh boy, I bet it's heaven on earth because if a late 50s chub like me can have so much fun, paying or free, just imagine some hot 30s, paradise!

hi, Nudity is optional. I saw a couple of guys wearing shorts and shirts, but there were very few. I am not in shape and very self-conscious about my belly, but lately, having committed to GPs, I started to loosen up. The old Bijou, the memories. To be honest, Taurus Bar it's way better. I didn't see anyone holding a cubicle, but there aren't that many booths to hold. I found this Seven Cruising Bar, also in Rio, but this looks more like Taurus Bar. two rows with 4 cubicles and that is. I didn't want to talk trash about the Bijou or any of the sex places in NYC, maybe back in the late '80s and early 90 was fun, for some people blessed in the looks aspect.. maybe because I am a tourist, but attitude in Brazil sex places are more welcoming, and so chill.
