Rio and Porto September trip log

[ihpguy]

Thumper, if memory serves, a Red Bull costs 14Reais at Meio Mundo, and probably more at 117. And of course, a boy will most likely order something else with it as a mixer. Just a show of power as how you they are able to waste your money and your stupidity at letting them do it. Every one of them would be happy with either a canned fruit juice or beer.

As to the coffee information, I hope it wasn't for me as I nearly died from my heart and the cardiac problems which forced me into an early retirement. These days I'm at Starbucks for the chai latte frappucinos. I'd been in ICU here 8 weeks back for 4 days and really never got better. So now more caffeine, chocolate, colas, guarana, stimulants or acai(which one canot get here without guarana syrup) unless I buy the frozen pulp myself.

In 51 years I have had three coffees, two made me puke.

Wednesday. I knew both saunas could be hit or miss but I went anyways, purely for research purposes you understand.

MM had no more than ten clients that I could see and maybe fifteen boys. The numbers stayed the same pretty much until about 8pm when I left.

The one guy that had three clients on Monday, had already been grabbed by the same client. I'm not keen on sloppy seconds but would probably had made an exception. When they came back, the boy looked across a few times, no doubt lining up his next client but the guy he was with was not in the mood to let him go.

The last I saw of them, they had obtained the promotion of one whole bottle of Smirnoff and five red bulls for R$140. They had two glasses with that!

I took the metro to 117. (Again purely for research). It was busier but this time there seemed more clients than boys. The few boys not grabbed were guys that did not seem popular. Some seemed disinterested making little effort.

By 21:40 117 was almost empty. I jumped on the metro again and went to To nem ai. It's now 23:09 and there are 14 people there.

A bottle of bud cost R$17:90 and Skol Beats R$9.90

[Guest Driver]

A few prices

I can of coke zero from a random street cafe around R$3

Taurus Porto Kilo restaurant, one plate of salad stuff and some small light meats, cheese and quails eggs R$19. It was a big plate and it did me but there were no heavy cooked meats on there. Next time I'll photograph the plate so you can get an idea of meal costs if you are thinking of going.

300ml juice drinks about R$6 if made with the whole fruit rather than the flavoured water drinks.

[Guest Driver]

A guy who had messaged me on Grindr wants to meet, he is not a boy for money, he genuinely likes older guys.

He could possibly meet at 18:00 or definately meet at 22:30 I chose the later but neither really fit in well with my sauna visits.

It is 17:13 and 117 is quiet at the moment, maybe 10 or more clients and probably 20 boys

Ideally I need a nice one (or two) early then go back to my apartment for the free one.

I do not expect this evening to go to plan.

[Guest Driver]

I prefer it when saunas are busier, you can observe boys without them coming over. I find it awkward handling approaches of guys who I have no interest in. When it's quiet it's hard to avoid all and sundry coming over.

I'm putting part of it down to my Englishness, not because it's true but it's convenient. Indecisiveness thrown in for good measure is not a good mix. Mind you when I find someone I like then it's easy.

[Guest Driver]

Well is Leandro, he had a cute face and I was conscious of the need to get a running start. He declined a drink and asked for R$200 which quickly dropped to R$150 and then R$100. I agreed at R$100 then we went upstairs. It started well but he needed the straight porn on and even then struggled to stay hard.

A small guy with a big knob and small balls but it became clear he wasn't going to be able to cum. I said we could finish and I would give him R$80 as he did not cum and he could do other clients. He agreed but I gave him R$90 so that I made my point without feeling cheap.

Would I go with him again? A firm no.

It's starting to get busy with some new boys in tonight. Round two hopefully soon.

[Guest Driver]

Oh crap, you will have to turn your monitors 90 degrees, sorry.

[Guest Driver]

Oh that's better.

[Guest Driver]

Posting in real time.

Just took a shower, my two clean towels disappeared and a shit stained towel left in its place.

I grabbed another one and then got a fresh one from the towel guy who said that practice happens in those showers often.

Keep an eye on your towels guys.

[axiom2001]

Yes and what about Starbucks in Brazil? It's idiotic. Why the hell would Brazilians go drink Starbucks crap coffee...but they do. They like brands I guess.

It would have been wonderful if you--parisrio2000 would have begun a "DIFFERENT" thread! You virtually hijacked Driver's thread regarding his trip to Rio de janeiro and to the saunas! Begin a new thread about "friggin'" coffee, something for which I DO NOT HAVE A TASTE and almost never ever consume!!

[trzinko]

Actually, i will be very happy to know about anything that driver will share with us. Of cource, i also prefer the stries about boys and saunas. But, today is friday, did he after sauna go to rio scenarium or any other samba vanue ?

Are strippers in the week or le boy, avalable for a private show ?

I would suggest a little bit of tolerance. Some of us like coffee.

[Guest Driver]

I don't mind the conversation in this thread wandering, i'm probably going to add quite a lot of posts of the similar nature so any variety is welcome. I find in discussion we sometimes learn things unexpectedly.

Last night my grindr shag messaged me to say because of the rain he would not be able to make it because he was riding a motorcycle. It was good of him to message but I was a little bit annoyed that he left a message right up to the moment when he was supposed to turn up especially as it had been raining all day on and off.

However he done me a favour because I've been feeling really tired yesterday and frankly I was glad he didn't turn up. Today is the first day that I feel my body clock is on Brazilian time and not English time.

[Guest Driver]

This meal was about R$15, they kept the receipt but there was a discount at 15:00 hours which is why the label doesn't read right. It's the same restaurant I ate at before on Sequiro Campos but for some reason the receipt had a different name on it. It's a restaurant where they weigh the food btw

The photo makes the plate look small but those eggs are quails eggs or similar sized eggs.

[Guest Driver]

Friday night, you won't always get on the metro in rush hour.

Well I passed by the Alantico Copacobana, even the sign needs fixing and Corujinhas Restaurante both venues holding fond memories for me as well as others.

Friday is MM night and I managed to meet up with Ihpguy which was nice. It seems we have similar tastes in men, I liked the guy he went with and I choose a guy called Leo. I enjoyed the sex but could not recommend him. I couldn't get a picture but if I get one another day I will expand on this. MM was quiet to start off with but by 19:00 is started to fill up and got busy, it was a nice night.

The boy I had lusted over but who kept getting hogged by a client or multiple clients, is called Leandro. Apparently one of Tomcal's regulars, someone else i share similar taste with.

The area around Urugaina metro is filled with cooking smells from street vendors and music even at 22:00. I chose something on a stick and it cost R$3.50

[ihpguy]

My guy that Driver wanted be the first to take up is named Marcos. He refused to let me take a face shot and in fact looked at my cell phone just to make sure that I was telling the truth. Handsome face, performed oral like an angel and ate out my ass and plugged me like the safado/devilish Paulista from Campinas that he is. The dick was a very nice 18cm when erect and stayed that way. Fun times doing 69. Really good. Nope excellent programa and definitely one of the most talented that I have ever met at any sauna in Rio or anywhere else.

As I remember, the TomCal favorite that Driver is named Jefferson.

[Guest Driver]

I can't get into edit mode on my ipad for my last post, but where it says Leandro, it should read Jefferson. I'm grateful to ihpguy for the correction.

Where I am staying close to the copacobana palace hotel, there are at least por kilo place that are half the price of the fancy places on Sequiro campos. However the selection is small with no fancy dishes. For me this is good, I can get a balanced meal without loading up a second plate for all the things I missed the first time.

A plate of veg and two pieces of cooked meat cost me R$11.55

I will get a photo next time.

So far I have managed to not get burned on the beach but I won't stay there more than 3 hours. It has been a gorgeous Saturday weather wise although I did have my beach umbrella up.

Tonight will be Meio Mundo again, not just because it is turning into my favourite sauna, more because tomorrow is 117 and Monday Meio Mundo. Having spoken to ihpguy yesterday about certain guys, I now have the confidence to try some others that I was a bit wary of.

I purchased Rosetta Stone up to level three but it only arrived three weeks before this trip, it has been useful but being immersed here is good too.

[ihpguy]

Be very, very safado and don't think for one second about taking sloppy seconds.

[Guest Driver]

MM was dead, I got there at 5 and bailed at 7pm. Took a chance on 117 and it is rammed, some sort of party.

[Guest Driver]

Oh crap it's upside down, why does Apple iPhone do that?

[Guest Driver]

They are bringing out trays of ice cream bars, no word of a lie, they disappeared in 20 seconds.

[ihpguy]

Thr boys can Hoover up free food like they can hard dick for money.

[Guest Driver]

Well I'm still not sure the party was for but the place was very very busy. I took some photos but somebody took exception, asked me to delete the photo amd then told the manager, who came and had a polite word with me.

There was a lot of boys but a lot of clients seemed to be there mainly for the party and show. It was so packed when the show was on, it was difficult to get through the main bar. By 21:30 when the show was on, many boys seemed to be getting dressed.

The first photo, the fifth and last photos are the main bar, the second, third and fourth are the back bar and the sixth the stairwell leading down to the locker area. These photos were taken over a period of two hours, I wasn't snap happy.

Previewing the post I can see two photos are nearly identical but I can't seem to delete one before posting using my ipad.

Sunday is hippy market day in Ipenema, went once years ago so will be interesting to see if it has got any better/worse/commercial.

[lookin]

Really enjoying these frontline reports, folks! Many thanks.

[flipao]

Thank you so much for the report and pictures!!!

[axiom2001]

Apparently you had a very hot and steamy play session! I POSITIVELY envy you if there is such!!!!
