My goodness how you hold a grudge. JK. As I have said before, the 2 restaurants you hated, I love. Rio Senarium and Marius are two of my favorites. Although, you are right with Danilo: he does know how to pick a good place to eat. Do you remember the Italian restaurant we ate at in Sao Paulo. We ate there again. This time he owner came over and chatted with us for 40 minutes as he was friends with Danilo. The chat was lovely and the food was excellent. He even invited me to his place to see his apartment. I had my boy from the Internet and my new husband from LaGoa and Danilo. Danilo order for us and only ordered one salad and one plate. That was plenty for all of us. The cost was 125R for 4. Not bad for a really nice meal. But, not Thai prices as well. I will also say that I had the chicken sandwich at LaGoa yesterday. It was excellent! It was not as tasty as the piece of meat I had at 3am from LaGoa but it was good. In your honor, I am going to take a group of boys from 117 to Rio Senarium for dinner one night. We will toast Firecat and his lack of food at the restaurant. hehe If I use your name at the front door, will I get in faster? On a side note to you and Marc Anthony: When we were at Alterosas, we met a very nice gentleman from the USA. He was rather large and African American. He was so nice to us and helpful. At LaGoa yesterday, I saw him again. He sat with me most of the afternoon and gave me some good advice. He even helped me arrange my new marriage. He said to say hi to the guys he met there last year. He also remembered me as he said my eyeglasses stuck out in his mind. He said he had never seen a man wear diamond-studded glasses like that before. Is flamboyant the right word? My new husband thinks I am his bitch. When I left Thailand I had Marium do my nails. I feel asleep and my boyfriends had her paint them pink. When I woke up I just laughed and kept them on. When he saw them yesterday and they matched my new pink Motorola phone, he said, "you are my bitch now." Do pink toenails and a pink phone automatically make someone a bottom? I hate discrimination. I loved the bottom part. hehe

LAGOA R. Borges Lagoa, 287 Vila Mariana Lagoa is the King of saunas in Sao Paulo. When you walk in, there are 2 separate ways to enter. To the left is for the boys, they pay less to get in but they do pay. To the right is for the clients. The lockers seem safe to keep you valuables in but I often keep them on me anyway. Past the lockers you pass a TV room with many hot studs sitting wanking off. Past that, there is a hallway that leads to the main dining and sitting area. You can order food and drinks and it is all charged to your locker number. Be careful not to give this out to all the boys or you will find you have treated many to lunch and dinner. In this room, they have a stage. I have seen Karoke and singing and shows of all sorts. You also have a bird's eye view of the showers as it is a glassed in area and the guys go in to show you their goods. And, my oh my, what goods they have! LaGoa has a swimming pool and a Jacuzzi. I have never seen anyone in the pool as it seems to be cold but the Jacuzzi is often full. In the same area are some private showers that you can shower more privately. Notice I say more privately. Not totally private. There is a movie theatre room that is dark and fun. They have a place for massage and for haircuts. The facility is well done and overall a great experience. I took my tour guide. The entrance fee was 25R each and we both had a suite and drinks and a sandwich. We spent a total of 160R for the afternoon. But, we also bought a few boys drinks and 2 lunch. They also put the condom and lube you take from them for a suite added to your bin. Lagoa is excellent and a fun place to get to see some of the hottest sauna boys in Brazil. We went on a Wednesday and was told that it was a good day. It was a twink delight for me as I have never seen that many twinks at LaGoa.

Is there something down here in the Guarana Antarctica that turns a top into a bottom? Seriously? Anyone know?

Well, to cap off day 1, I met with Danilo, my tour guide. He is a gem. I'll be doing a review for him but let me just say he is incredible and a true asset to anyone visiting here. We went to FNAC store for a bit of shopping and then to his place for lunch. We went to Lagoa and it was very slow. We got there fairly early at 4PM and not many were there. However, I found the one boy I knew I had to have. Danilo negotiated for me and all was fine. The guy was gay and 19 and a nice dick and a sexy face. He had a little patch of hair on his tummy that I liked and we discussed what he would do. He said he would do everything but only sucked dick with a condom. I wanted the guy and went with him. There was no oral or anal in the session but his kisses were to die for. His tongue reached my tonsils a few times and his mouth covered my body. He was aggressive and fun. He held me down, plowed into my neck and left a mark or two. We both came and of I went downstairs to meet back up with Danilo. I had met a 19 year old there last year that I fell for. I took him almost every night in Sao Paulo and I would have married him if he didn't already have a girlfriend. He came in, sat by me and gave me all the attention and affection I wanted. I told him I had already went upstairs and could not go again. He said it was no problem that he would just hang with me. He never took his clothes off in the Sauna. I will say that I have never seen so many twinks at LaGoa. I was impressed. Danilo found someone he liked and played a bit and we were both ready for dinner. I asked my muscle boy if he wanted to spend the next 4 days with me. He agreed. He went back to the hotel and I registered him for my guest. While Danilo and I were in my room earlier he was showing me a Brazilian website. I found a guy I really wanted to meet and so Danilo called him for me. He wanted to go to dinner with us. So, the four of us headed off to dinner. Danilo picked a nice place and we all ate together. It was good food and good companionship. Afterwards,, we went to the cruising park for gays. It was wild. Tons of money boys and just free sex. I saw several bj and full fucking going on. I enjoyed watching. I also met a guy I liked and gave him 20R to shoot a load for me. He did. My new Nike's are now broken in. I'll share more about the park later as I am going back on Saturday to see it when it is more crowded. I am now back in my room. I had a great day. My muscle boy in the Jacuzzi with bubbles overflowing. I am going to shower and go to bed with him What is Thailand again? I forget. Oz

My first night was quiet and peaceful. After a long flight to get here, I went to my hotel had dinner and a late night snack. I had met a guy from LaGoa last year that I really liked. He was 19 at the time and a muscle boy. His body was hard as a rock and he was very good to me on my last trip. He told me to call him when I came back to Sao Paulo. I really didn't think he would remember me but he did. He showed up at my room and we had a very fun 2-3 hours. He gave me a much-needed bath and a massage. We went to the bedroom and I had my first Brazilian orgasm in 9 months. He was just the one that I wanted to shoot a load on my chest. We chatted for a bit and he asked if I wanted him to stay the night. I told him no that I needed to unpack and sleep. He left and we agreed to meet the next day. When I woke up today, I want to my favorite Empadaria da Vovo. I had a chocolate one and a banana one. That with 2 diet cokes really hit the spot. When I thought the time was appropriate, I called my tour guide from the last trip. He was awake and said he wanted to come see me immediately. OK, I said. He is on the way to meet me. I have 2 sauna's on the agenda for today. LaGoa and Fragata. Any suggestions for tomorrow? Any good days that I need to be sure to go to specific ones? I'll report back in tonight! Enjoy your day! I hope I enjoy mine.

I will be in Rio for the 5 days of Carnival. I would love to meet up with you. Send me an e-mail to: maleescortreview@gmail.com and I'll send you my Rio and Sao Paulo Phone numbers.

After a 9-month absence from Brazil, I finally hit the ground here once again. My adventure started off when I was met by the driver from my hotel. He had a sign with my name on it. He recognized me before I saw him. "I remember you,” he said. "You are man who goes LaGoa everyday." Well, I wasn't sure whether to be impressed with his memory or my reputation as the guy who goes to the same sauna every day. In either case, I told him that I just wanted to sleep tonight. No LaGoa. As Scarlet once said, "Tomorrow is another day." FYI: Firecat: I did have my Spagetti Bolognese. It was fabulous! MarcAnthony: I also ordered in another treat. If he is any good, I will share him with you via Webcam.

>Ya I can be a little slow at >times but you just filled in all the blanks or at least most >of them Oz. Thanks bunches! > >Hugs, >Greg Greg, You are so very welcome. However, I don't think you are slow at all. I think it was you that first posted my connection to CrazyCalm over at escort speak. I also believe this was REALLY fast after our launch and at the same time as the Rentboy convention in Vegas. You are many things Greg. But, slow is not one of them. You are too fast for me. You are also very sexy and witty. I enjoy your posts. But, I never would have thought slow. If you want to know slow, drive down south in Georgia. Not in Atlanta but in one of the smaller cities. That is slow. I kind of like that life occassionally. Hugs, Oz

>It's obvious to anybody with a solid knowledge of business >what daddy is doing to the site. Oz mentioned he feels daddy >is doing a good job maintaining the site, I completely >disagree. Actually what I said was: "Daddy has done a good job with posting new reviews. He has done a good job at letting Barry, Cooper and DeeJ monitor the site." I don't think I said that he is doing a good job at maintaining the site. I have said from the beginning that the site is being changed for a purpose. The little subtle things that happen often go unnoticed by many but they are not in the best benefit of the site. This should be so obvious to all. You will never hear me publicly express what I really think is happening behind the scenes of M4M or with the estate issues as I have given my word to keep quiet on many of them. I just dole out some information that is public knowledge and leave it to others to deciide what they think.

I am met more than a few guys off of Flirt4Free in person. I had a great time with him. I have one friend who met his lover off of Flirt4Free. They were together for almost one year. I enjoy the flirting and I will occassionally take a guy into a private room.

>The reason for the difficulty in registration is that they are >afraid that you might be me or 4Aces. I know with several of >my screennames it took over a month to get them activated. Well, I guess that could be the reason. However, they have great moderators there that monitor everything very well. Do you really think that this was the reason? From a business perspective, would it not make more sense that if you want to purchase something that increasing the value of the commodity will cause you to pay more for it? There are so many theories about why certain decisions are made but if you follow the money trail, you will often be more enlightened.

>...the funeral ceremony was great, but I could have done >without the Zionist speaker. Does anyone thnk that Martin or >Coretta would support the Zionist occupation of Palestine? >Nonetheless, it was nice for the nation to pay her the Tribute >of being eulogized by 4 Presidents (and a future one) despite >the fact that none of these shared her commitment to >non-violence or social justice... Curiosity killed the cat. Which future one were you referring to?

>The fact >that we are still talking about him and the impact he had on >each one of us, is testimony to the man. You hit the nail on the head!

>marc, when I joined M4M, I hadn't intended for it to become a >part of my routine, but it did. There are many that feel that same way. I started out as a viewer without posting in the forum boards. I was a reviewer many times over but never felt the need to post. I met a few fellow M4M'ers and started to get into posting. I was then addicted. I find it refreshing to have a cup of coffee in the morning and check out my list of daily sites. M4M was one of them for a few years. I still don't know how it was so addictive but it was.

>God bless Hooboy. For his sake, shouldn't this just all be >shut down already? Please put it out of its misery.[/i] With this I totally disagree. I loved the man and he did a great deal for many people including me. To shut down his site would be a disgrace. I think it should stay and it should continue. I have said all along that I think it should have continued under the direction of his lover. But, as Hooboy did not leave a will and the estate is in litigation to resolve ownership issues, there is a limited amount of leeway in which the site can continue. Daddy has done a good job with posting new reviews. He has done a good job at letting Barry, Cooper and DeeJ monitor the site. There is no need to shut the site down. It has much more to offer many. There will be many people who try to do successful review sites. Rentboy has attempted and failed at this. Men4RentNow has tried. Many more will try. It is all the people that keep attempting to create something so successful as M4M that is Hooboys' real tribute. Still today, I don't know how he did it. He was an amazing man. He left an amazing legacy. His site should continue and not be shut down.

>The hooboy message center has become an increasingly more >friendly place where I feel valid discussions can now go on >between both clients and escorts. It is becoming more friendly only because it bans people who post against what the admin wants others to hear. Many are also having a hard time to get screennames as many requests are just ignored. While this isn't relevant to the people currently posting, it does not open up the discussions to others with varying views. I do feel that many of the discussions there are valuable and needed. I have never stated differently. I hope that you continue to post here and there. There is room for more than one site about male escorts and there is room for more forum boards on the subject. >The fact that we can all go on there and be civil and have a >decent conversation is a great thing and I hope it continues. >I also hope that this board can be a great place as well and >not become a hate spewing place of malicious gossip and people >bashing. I don't think anyone involved in this site wants a hate spewing place of malicious gossip and people bashing. None of the moderators here want that. We have all stated that we want a place where information can be shared and legitimate discussions can be had. We are still new so there are few of those things being discussed. It will happen!! Thank you for providing decent conversation.

>Marc, I feel sorry for that you need a gay forum to feel >"valued". >Please stop your crying. Life is too short. If you do no like >the other >site, just avoid it. No need to badmouth it. People place value on many things. Some place value on a name they create. Others just create new ones with no meaning. Some place value on monetary possessions while others throw away money like there is no tomorrow. When anyone puts a great deal of time and effort into anything, they should feel that it has some value. I have read Marc's reviews and postings over the years. He did a great service to M4M and it was a valuable contribution. If you are unable to see that, perhaps you have a different agenda. BTW: He is not crying. I have met him on more than one occasion and he is not the type to cry over this posting. He may cry for joy when I get to Brazil and tell him more about a certain sauna boy. But, it is for him to decide if those tears are worth it.

Reading your story brought back such intense memories. I thought I was the only one who had experienced that. Now I know that there are others that have had the same experience. I will seek them out. I will try to find the common connection. One thing that I did experience that you did not was that they asked me to write down all the names of escort related screen names that I knew so they could suspend those accounts. Did that happen to you as well? If not, I have to wonder why I was singled out. Anyway, thank you for sharing the experience. It means more to me than you will ever know! I think I will have a peaceful nights sleep for the first time in ages.

I just spent over 2 hours on the phone with supervisors. I was told repeatedly that there was no block. After much discussion and telling them to send an e-mail to me from their AOL account, they agreed that there was an issue. I have been told that they will get back to me in the next 48 hours. As soon as I hear from them, I will let you know. Thanks for the support! Oz

Well, I have also been an AOL member since the beginning and never any issue. However, what I found out was that they block urls. If an escort sends you an e-mail and it has one of their banned urls in it, you will NOT receive it. You will not know it was sent. You will not ever be aware that he tried to contact you. While I get stuff from my family just fine, that is not true when urls are inside the e-mail. The sad thing is that you will never know what you have missed.

Chuck, We did get the questions and we did respond. However, you have AOL and none of our e-mail makes it through to their accounts as they have said that the url is banned. We are working on getting that fixed but have put in no less than 40 calls to them with the response, "your url is not on the banned list." However, it is. To test, send an e-mail to yourself from AOL with the url www.maleescortreview.com in it. You will get a 554 error. This is a banned URL error. No one at AOL seems to know anything other than to create a new ticket and wait 48 hours. We have done this 20 times so far. We will keep trying.

I will be in Brazil on my next trip for about 2 months. I have been to Sao Paulo and Rio many times and want to do so again on this trip. However, I would really like to also visit: Fortaleza Curitiba Brasilia Recife Natal Aracaju Florianopolis Porto Alegre I would like to spend 3 or 4 days in each city to get the lay of the land. I would appreciate any suggestions on accommodations, saunas, bars, etc. I have not decided how I will get from one city to the next. In the past I hired a driver to take me back and forth from Rio to Sao Paulo. I prefer travel by car or train. However, I know I will have to fly many places, as the distance may be too great. Any suggestions, advice or recommendations would be most greatly appreciated. I got my tickets today so I am very excited about another trip to Brazil! Oz . . . Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Champagne and Strawberries in one hand, Diet Coke and Godiva Chocolate in the other, a personal bottle of Eros and a good Cuban cigar in the your pockets (both partially used), a wallet empty of currency but noticeably used from the rainbow colors of bills from a multitude of countries and cards charged to the max from the joys of life, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO - what a ride!

I had the pleasure of being in the same room with her many years ago. I did not get to meet her or tell her how much her family changed the direction of America but they did. She had a presence that was powerful. She will be missed!

Thanks guys. I appreciate the information very much. Fire: I found one apartment on Sublet that I liked very much. You have to be a paid member of that site to get contact information. I don't mind doing this. However, I have joined a few of these sites and the information is not always up to date. Do you know if these guys remove their listings when it is no longer available?

I will be going to Moscow in May for about a week. What should I prepare for? Does anyone know of any great bars? club? resturants? I have never made a journey to Russia before and I am very excited about it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
