Guest Twotops4fun Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 Thanks for your responses. We walked by Meo Mundo the other day just to get our bearings for an evening and the entire building appeared to be closed and under construction. No sign or access point was apparent. Are we missing something? Quote
Tomcal Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 The door is a glass door with no signage above it about 50' in from the corner! It is definitely open!(except on Sunday nights) mondays and Fridays are the best nights there! Reminds me of my first trip to Rio in 2001 before smart phones, GPS, etc. and my friend and I were trying to find Roger's Sauna and we missed it twice before finding it! All we had was a piece of paper with the address. likeohmygod and Badboy81 2 Quote
Guest bobbalino Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 But when it is closed it may be shuttered with a big dark double wooden door ... a few steps in (west) of Primeiro de Marco ... or as Tom states a slightly greater distance in (east) from Candelaria Quote
Guest leakyleaks Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 The guys in the pictures are really hot, but I have only limited ability to travel. Do any of the guys in the pictures ever come to the USA? Quote

Do any of the guys in the pictures ever come to the USA? Visas for Brasilians who don’t have a steady job are very difficult to get. So usually, no. There are many Brazilians escorting in the US (see rentmen ads) but once the are here, they charge the same as the other US escorts, which defeats the purpose. Quote

Do not forget the special relationship with sex and pleasure Brazilian culture has. You may be paying American prices, but you are still getting Brazilian quality. Tartegogo 1 Quote
Members DustinDawns Posted August 11, 2018 Members Posted August 11, 2018 Club 117 is absolutely amazing with such a huge variety of men. Thanks for taking me down memory lane Badboy81 1 Quote
Actionforyou Posted September 9, 2018 Posted September 9, 2018 My spouse and I are planning to arrive in Rio on September 18th for a week. We have previously visited both Pointe and Club 117. Some of the posts are several years old and I am unsure if things have changed. From my reading, it would appear that the cost has remained stable in Rio at $100R and that tipping is discreationary but should be kept modest ($20R) for good performance. After reading the posts, I am someone confused if leche should be discussed or not .... I gather not to discuss it and see where things go (I really don't want a problem with one of the boys since I don't have the skill to speak in their language). My spouse is younger and will want to play with several guys each evening. I, on the other hand, am 11 years older and no longer have his stamina. He prefers that I accompany him to the sauna even if I become exhaused after the first few days of playing. I do enjoy a good massage and have had some in the past at Pointe. As I recall, they only had a single massuer and he was often booked. We have only been to Club 117 twice and I don't recall if they have real massuers. It sounds like Tomcal is far too busy to know much about this particular subject! I should add my thanks to him for much of the wisdom gleaned from his posts! So, my question is ... do all the saunas have massuers? If so, does anyone know the price for a massage? Does one tip a massuer (I find that it may be different from an agreed upon price negotiated between you and a rentboy)? I am typically more oral and enjoy poppers. Can someone tell me if they are sold in Rio? In the past, I have not found them used by the guys at the saunas. Naturally, I would love to get the real thing from a pharmacy ... is that possible without a Brazilian doctor's prescription? My spouse loves good photos of himself. Does anyone know of a gay photography in Rio that does nude shots either in a studio or outdoors? Many thanks for any information you can provide. Quote
Members Riobard Posted September 10, 2018 Members Posted September 10, 2018 At Clube 117 there is one pro masseur each shift. 70 reais for half hour; 100 for full hour, added to tab. Tip in cash if you like. Sex off limits. I believe the negotiating of what happens with masseurs at Pnt 202 may be more "fluid". Tartegogo 1 Quote
Members Tartegogo Posted September 10, 2018 Members Posted September 10, 2018 @Actionforyou At 202, ask for Victor to get a massage. I like him, good guy, formally trained as a masseur I think, and it can be tantric if you want to. They have a “menu” and tantric is one of the options I can’t remember the price, but it was reasonable. Quote
Actionforyou Posted September 10, 2018 Posted September 10, 2018 Riobard and Tartegogo .... I sincerely appreciate the massage information. I will ask for Victor at Pointe 202. I am really looking for a good massage (rather than sex) and prefer those formally trained. It sounds like 117 also has a single trained masseur so perhaps it will be best to go early, before they are booked up for the evening. It has been over six years since we last visited the "wonders" of Rio. I am still hopeful that I might find a gay photographer. Quote
Tomcal Posted September 10, 2018 Posted September 10, 2018 Victor stayed with us for several nights 3 weeks ago, and he told me he does not work at point anymore. Tartegogo and Alaskabear 2 Quote
Members Riobard Posted September 11, 2018 Members Posted September 11, 2018 Wellington at Clube 117 knows what he is doing. I have a spasm-prone dorsum, so somewhat of an aficionado. If his # is still active, I have +55(21)997694651 (Whatsapp). He was (and is?) also able to accommodate outcalls with a portable table. Quote

Oh my god. Jefferson (who used to be Victor’s room mate) just told me he doesn’t go to work at pointe either. They are all leaving? Competition from hotter guys is too hard? Quote
Actionforyou Posted September 11, 2018 Posted September 11, 2018 It is beginning to appear that it may be difficult to get a professional massage while in Rio! Thank you Riobard for the information on Wellington ... he may be a very busy guy if others are not available. I don't know how the economy in Brazil works but it would appear that giving massages would be good work paying a decent wage. Hopefully, Pointe will be able to hire new masseurs soon. Thanks for keeping me up to date with what is currently happening in Rio .... best regards to all. Quote

Members Riobard Posted September 12, 2018 Members Posted September 12, 2018 What a small world! I was walking the short block to my regular kilo place minutes ago, which incidentally has fallen on hard times, I suppose, at it is finished. This is in the middle of nowhere in Catete. But I bump into Victor (!!!) in an orange T, not his usual club white, ask him what I already know [how are things at PNT202], and he told me about the where and what of his current employment around the corner towards the Flamengo shore area. He was evidently leaving work. This is using my broken Sportuguese. He perhaps did not know how to place me other than my mentioning the massage features at PNT. But a cutie like him must have to adjust to being known by hordes of visitors as a popular Venezuelan lad about town. Quote

Members Latbear4blk Posted June 29, 2019 Members Posted June 29, 2019 I just saw this advertisement in Twitter. Does anyone know anything about this sauna? Quote
Members Riobard Posted June 30, 2019 Members Posted June 30, 2019 (edited) I suggest you use the search field here for a little but dated info. Espaço 165 is also near it and looks nicer. However, they are both quite a distance north not far from Galeão airport. You would likely be in proximity to favela areas. For the savvy and adventurous, perhaps?
