Brazil October 2010

[Guest tomcal]

This trip OZ and I ended up in Porto Alegre together for a long weekend and than went on to Rio for a week. We got to meet up most nights in the saunas..but the times were brief as OZ was always disappearing…or maybe that was me! Lol Mezzininu Sauna in Porto Alegre is still my favorite in all of Brazil both for the clean new facility that it is and for the guys there!

The Rio saunas were as good as ever but the nights vary greatly, for example last Monday Meo Mundo was packed and than on Tuesday was empty! On Weds, busy again and packed on Friday night for a party and ½ empty on Sat. night. Pointe 202 was fairly busy each night but is definitely the Body builders sauna! But there were some cute twinks there!

This trip was different for me in that I had two guys stay with me each night for the whole week, where usually I am not quite so monogomous! The key was the three of us(and particularly the two of them) were very compatible! I had the type relationship with them that I had no problem giving them a key to my room and leaving them there when I left the room! The rules I established were that we would meet up every night at 10:00 and do dinner and than back to the hotel and we would be together until the next afternoon. I left every night for the saunas at 5:00 p.m. and they would go to work at the sauna if they wanted to and we would meet up at 10:00. When I saw them at the sauna and if they were with a customer I would not approach them and likewise if I was with a boy at the sauna they stayed clear of me…although while I never asked them about their customers I saw them with, they always wanted to know about the boys they saw me with and what we did! LOL because they were able to work every night, when I was at the saunas, I negotiated a very good rate for the time with me! This included dinner each night as well as raids on the mini bar!

My friend who travels monthly to Rio for business gets a special discounted price on the Presidential suite at the Atlantico, so when he left on Wednesday I took it over at a rate that was only $70. A night more than the rate I was paying on a regular room, and it was really worth it! You get a California King Bed, perfect for 3! A two person Jacuzzi, which we fit 3 in w/o much of a problem, a small living room with a tv and sofa and a large bedroom and shower that easily fit 3! As it’s on the rooftop, you walk out your door and your right next to the pool!

I met a lot of new guys this trip who I really liked, including one who OZ was kind enough to entertain when I was late one night getting to Meo Mundo! I am including photos below of my two overnight guys. All I can say is I LOVE BRAZIL!

Thanks for the report. I enjoyed reading it.

I wanted to mention a Bar/Resturant that I went to on several nights and really enjoyed. I may not have the spelling right "To Me Nei" but it is at 57 Rua Farme de Amoedo in Ipanema, right next door to the restaurant Bar do Beto, in 2 blocks from the gay beach. It reminds me of a neighborhood gay bar you would find in Weho or Chelsea, local guys, with the majority between 25 and 40, but saw everyone from 21 to 65 here. Decent menu, we got there both nights around 10:30 and it was packed. there are tables and seating area on the outdoor deck on the front of the bar facing Farme de Amoedo and a two level area inside.

Is this on the (same side of the) street as Cafeina?

I found the proper spelling and info:

Yes, down about 1/2 block walking the opposite way from the beach.

Tomcal is a good photographer but those photos do not do the boys justice. Having seen them in person, the one lad that stayed with him every night is adorable. It is hard for personality to come across in photos and this boy had a great personality that just bubbles and makes everyone around him happy! When we all went to dinner one night we all had a great time just chatting with him. Tom has great tastes.

[Guest tomcal]

OZ, thanks and your right in this case the photos due not do them justice! Tiago is a A+ in the personality and a sexy guy! In the three days since I got back I have received emails every day from both of them and they are practicing their English with some funny results...or at least I hope it's their translation errors and they are not referring to me as "she" on purpose!! LOL

Tom - any chance you can pass along Andre's contact info? I'd enjoy meeting him before I leave Rio in just a few short days. i believe you have my email - if not, i can reply to one of your old emails.

This trip Pointe 202 was definitely the body builders sauna of choice. in the pic below the guy on the right is Junior, the owner of Pointe and the guy on the left is one of the rent guys that work there!

Tom, I know that assuming can be dangerous as well as misleading, but do you think that most of the body builders at Point 202 either have girl friends or wives and that there are few (if any) gay sauna boys there? Just curious!

Ax, I think 90% of the guys working at ANY of the saunas, bodybuilders or not are basically straight and have girlfriends! I will say that unless you know, it's often very hard to discern the straight from the gay rentboys when they are in bed with you, most kiss/suck/rim/fuck as well as any 100% gay rentboys in the saunas! I have been to enough functions/parties with the guys over the years to have met many of their girlfriends/wives, I have run into them at the beach and there is no doubt in my mind they are basically straight, that if there was no money involved and they were doing it only for the sexual feelings they felt, they would be with women! but it's a little more complicated than that. Brazil's attitude towards gay sex, seems to be 1)as long as you still fucking women, your not gay! 2)there is nothing wrong with having sex with a guy for money. Now saying that, I can tell you that many guys who I have had for overnights and who were basically "straight", often initiate "round two" or morning sex, and it's not because they will be getting more money, as the overnights are a set fee! After experiencing all that I have in Brazil and reading this I am still confused!! LOL I have met a few guys who did not have girlfriends. Interestingly enough, This last trip the two guys who I had stay overnight the week with me were both gay and it did make a difference when your talking multiple nights and sex, and if they hadnt told me I would have guessed, the differences are sublte but there

A follow-up question if I may. Does this mean there would be few guys in the saunas for me?

I'm a top only and I like smooth muscled young men who kiss, suck and bottom readily.

And having travelled extensively in Argentina, I know what you say about gayforpay sex is true. I get described as 'so macho I fuck other men' LOL

Sounds like you and I have the same likes in guys...and I have never had a problem finding guys in the saunas....I should have said, that while most are straight, most will also bttm!! I would guess in my experience 80% of them..often they won't tell you this at first or not until they have gotten to know you...but based on 9 years/50+ trips and probably well over 500 guys, I think my 80% guesstimate is pretty close! :-)

LOL 500 guys? haha. You did about 100 on the 7 days we were just there. Did you forget a 0 at the end of that?

People go to Brazil to enjoy themselves,and, for some, that means a lot of sex. That sex can be with many guys or just a few guys. I found myself unwilling to keep experimenting, so when I found a guy I liked, I stuck with him. Can't say that that gave me a better experience than others, but it was what I was comfortable with. Still had a lot of sex. Anyone else like it that way?

OZ, ok, maybe 510! :-) modesty prevented me from giving a accurate number!

Lucky, when I get a little older I am definitely going to slow down!

but I do understand your point, the two guys who spent the last 5 nights with me were great and the sex was definitely more "fun" / satisfying than a quickie in the saunas with someone I hadn't met before. I did both but if I had to pick one I would pick the regular sex each night with a guy i know over multiple new hookups in the sauna...luckily I wasn't faced with that decision this trip!
