Members travguy Posted February 21, 2015 Members Posted February 21, 2015 Hello Folks: I am in Rio now. Arrived after Carnaval. Also, I am a top (activo). For most of what I consider the very hot white / mostly white and moderately muscular boys they started negotiations at 150R$ and would not go under 100 to bottom for me (oral, kissing, etc included). For both of us to cum during the programma, 200 was the minimum. This is 2 x the cost of last year. Did I miss something? I speak a little Portuguese, but enough Spanish, French, and Italian to get by. To be honest, I don't think the boys care too much about the look of a client as long as the money is there. I am average to ok looking and about 10 lbs overweight, so definitely not a whale, and I am not small (down there). I saw David last night. A nice bottom, but went overboard on the steroids. More hotties Fri than Thurs night. But the first few boys I spoke with were tops and not into bottoming.....oh well. I did have fun with a hot bottom. As I left 117, even more hot boys were entering (7pm ish). I went to Sexy Rose, a porn place at Cinelandia at lunchtime. Topped a nice younger guy who got me off before I went to 117. That was fun too MsGuy, TotallyOz and axiom2001 3 Quote

That was fun too I liked your read but would appreciate your writing more about "Sexy Rose." Is it a cinema? Give details about those who go, the best times, the price for entrance, its lay out, etc. If you choose to answer this when you return home, that is all right with me. I don't want you to go out of your way and spend valuable, fun time in answering my request! Quote

Guest tomcal Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Arrived after Carnaval. Also, I am a top (activo). For most of what I consider the very hot white / mostly white and moderately muscular boys they started negotiations at 150R$ and would not go under 100 to bottom for me (oral, kissing, etc included). For both of us to cum during the programma, 200 was the minimum. This is 2 x the cost of last year. Did I miss something? I was just there a month ago(at 117) and like you am a top and the pricing was $100.R to do everything and cum! the same as it's been for quite a few years now. the only difference was the pricing in Porto Alegre is now on Par with Rio. But I never had anyone not willing to take $100.R. I never go during Carnival because since it's the Height of the Brazil summer it's like Miami in July temp/humidity wise and I have always heard the price for everything is higher for the week before, of and after Mardi Gras, so maybe that explains why they for asking for more. As a example both Diegos in my post I met at 117 as well as two other guys there and everyone seemed fine with $100. although sex with either of the Diegos is pretty fast as both tend to cum pretty quickly! :-) Quote

Members travguy Posted February 23, 2015 Author Members Posted February 23, 2015 Update: a few of the boys would let me top them for 100 R$ but for both of us to cum was 150 RS. Thursday night I had fun, but I kept running into super hot boys that were also tops...LOL. Fri night, I was sort of tired and I did cum at Sexy Rose a few hours earlier. Again, I found other tops.... Sat night I was with ?David, a very cute mildly muscular twink (and there are few twinks at 117) and ?Raphael, very nice looking but not a muscle hunk. Both were great. Folks, like in Vegas, the House always wins. FYI: between the entry charge ?35-50, room charge ?35-50, condom and lube charges 16+, after a few romps, you owe the house 150 R$ or so, plus for the boy, plus more for drinks etc. Also, I found the old spot for Corujinha, but there was no Corujinha (?spelling) sign and it was almost dead at 11pm Thurs night. Where did the boys go? Also hard to find info for regular gay bars, although many gay friendly places to eat a few blocks inland from the gay beach. Le Boy was still busy and the backroom opened at 4am. I went to the Campeas, the Championship re-Parade of the 6 top Organizations that marched in the Sambodromo earlier in the week. This alone was worth the trip. Nothing else like it in the world. It was fine going to 117 first. The Parading was from 930 pm to 6 am. I never slept, and didn't want to. The Campeaus, etc are also on you tube, but in protuguese. As you can imagine I slept almost all of Sunday! The Rex cinema was good in past years, but not Friday. The Sexy Rose was hot for me early afternoon. Someone told me, it was hit or miss, though even Sundays can be busy. 117 is closed on Monday, so maybe I will head to Meio Mundo. Tomcal, and other forum users, are you in Rio now? Could meet for a drink, etc... Quote
Guest tomcal Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Travguy, If I was there I would have been happy to have met up for a drink! but not back until April. Corujinha's turned into a "family" restaurant about 3 or 4 years ago, no hustlers anymore. You might try standing outside LeBoy club around midnight, on Fri/Sat/Sun. there are two luncheonette type places very small next to it that you can get drinks, etc, and guys stand around there before going in and used to be a number of sauna guys. there is a restaurant about a block from Leboy that has guys hanging out after midnight, I can't think of the name of it, maybe one of the other posters on here know the name. Also twice I have picked up guys at the gay bar ToNemAi on Rua farme de Amoedo, two blocks in from the beach in Ipanema. It is a gay bar, but when I have gone there alone guys who are not regular garotos but looking to make some money before heading out for the night are available. in both cases they approached me as I was sitting alone at a table. not a sure thing but worth checking out and you are in a place with a lot of guy guys.

Members travguy Posted February 24, 2015 Author Members Posted February 24, 2015 Late Monday Update: Went to Iris Cinema at lunchtime - wanted to try someplace different. Sort of a waste of time, but the trannies were not too aggressive. Only saw 2 guys under 40 yo, and did not stay long. Ended up having a good inexpensive lunch in the area, r Carioca. Got 3 mosquito bites, but no BJs. Then went to Sexy Rose. Some rent boys from 117 were there, but I think just for free play with other hotties. If there were getting paid, it was discussed in Portuguese. Couple of hot young boys that were totally into overweight and not good looking older guys. Oh well. Saw the Kandinsky Exhibit near Meio Mundo. It was ok. It was free. If you are in Rio, go see it. M Mundo turned out to have free cabins. 45 R$ entry.61R$ total for me, free rooms, 45 admit+guarana+condoms and lube. Garoto #1: Miceal, bit older ave thin guy, not a twink, but nice looking.Great kisser. He would not bottom, kept trying to f me, ate lots of me ass (I am not really into that either). Problem is that he did understand that I am a top and he would not let me top him. Junio wanted 80 just to bottom, would not accept 50, and would not cum along with me. So no deal. He was very cute though.So #2: Bruno, musc, but would barely let me f him. Both boys came, which I pay extra for. (100 and 150 R$, Bruno was very hot and 117 muscle type, and a very nice kisser). Problem for me: I entered hungry at 6 pm. BIG MISTAKE. If you are a top, eat a good meal before entering. I finally left around 930 pm, and good luck finding a decent meal in the area around 10 pm. I wanted to eat dinner dntn and return for "sloppy seconds" as the boys at M Mundo were very hot and it was still packed when I left. In the end, I walked to Cinelandia and the prices at Amelorino (?sp) were much higher than in the past. 1/2 chicken was ?43R$-way too expensive for what is usually a very small bird. Most reasonable lunch places charge 22-28 R$. As it was late, I ate a very late dinner in Copacabana, just before 11 pm.I met some punters from Bahia and a guy named ^&*#$ from the US - but not one of our heroes. (best not to use real names). He was on his 4th when I left (and he is a bottom). OK, a slut 1st Class, and why not..... Also met some queens from the Philippines. The punters were very sociable at M Mundo, much more so than at 117. I had met some folks from France at 117 earlier in the trip, but we did not talk much, and they might have been into group play with the boys. I suspect 1 guy had boys at M Mundo. I sort of met Miceal after that romp. Moral of the story: Mangia Bene before you Mangia Bene !! flipao and lookin 2 Quote

I don't remember much about the food other then it was ok! Last time I was there, it was at the suggestion of 3 sauna boys that were with me and we all were hungry and wanted to eat before going to Leboy, as it turns out we never made it to the club. after we ate, we decided to go back to the apartment! : -) Quote
Members travguy Posted February 26, 2015 Author Members Posted February 26, 2015 Tu/We update: Cabins are free at M Mundo ?every night, but were free Mon night. Cabins are free at 117 Tues night. It was very busy. I saw my punter friend from M Mundo. He was on his ?3rd bottom. I ran into multiple other tops that would not bottom, guys that simply wanted too much $$, and 1 guy - a very good looking muscle boy, perhaps the best there - who was a total jerk and blew me off when I tried to say hi. The guy from the US said he was a bitch and had to lay down some rules before he would let the guy top him. I also saw guys that I had already done. One tried to set me up with a buddy of his, but it did not work out. With several of the boys, when I said 150 R$ was too much just for me to top them, there was no counter offer. Must be nice to be able to pay their way and get no business. LOL. I met a new boy, Alan. His 1st time there I think. I bought him some food and a juice. Did not kiss much, but I was very horny after striking out for the 30-60 min prior to engaging him. He wanted 200 and I paid it, just thinking with the small head I guess. His face was ave to better; body was mildly muscular, might have had some burns or other mild-mod old skin probs on his lower back. He sucked me with a condom on me, and I hate that. None the less the sex was hot and we both shot huge loads I never saw a garoto leave so fast after being paid. Not sure why. Weds was cloudy here. Completely by chance a guy contacted me via Grindr, where I must have worst ever picture of me posted. For 100 R$ we did everything. He was very close by and I went to his place. I would have offered to pay for overnight fun, but it never came up in our very limited conversation. I would gladly be with him again. Much cheaper and easier than 117 etc. He was more of a mildly musc twink, but completely hassle free. I am in Copa now and sort of cruising guys on the street here seems common. Also getting lots of hits via Adam4adam, Grindr, and Scruff. However, several of the guys are not even in Rio, so I have no idea why they contacted me. (Brazilia, SP, even NYC). flipao 1 Quote
Members travguy Posted February 27, 2015 Author Members Posted February 27, 2015 Fri update: There is a biscuit or candy bar called Garota (I may be off on the spelling), similar to the name for the boys. So be careful what you ask for !! I was Raphael again Thursday (Weds guy from Grindr, for 100 R$), but he found my $%^& was a bit too big for him today. Oh well, I was prepared to ask him for an overnight had we coupled successfully again. He did not cum this time. When I came, some of it messed up his couch, despite having a towel nearby. I think he is a bit new to this. He also changed his Grindr profile overnight. I was with another Grindr guy today, Alex. He wanted 200 R$. I paid it because he was close by, hosted, and was remarkably better looking than his photos. His %^^&& was much better looking in person. He was also a few inches taller (body) and a bit more muscular than in the photos. He too did not seem too happy being passive for "the Big Zomolly", despite agreeing to it and asking my measurements in advance. Although neither was the body size nor cuteness equal of the hottest boys at M Mundo nor 117, they were both close by and I did not have to pay another 50-100 R$ for the "club" and room costs. However, you do waste an enormous amount of time setting these things up, so no real overall time savings. Having cum with these boys I was happy. Now it is also too hot and humid here to be ramming ass all afternoon long. Also, I had at least 3-5 conversations simply "disappear" for no apparent reason from Grindr and Scruff. 1 of the folks re-contacted me, I could not even find the listings for the others. I had not blocked them. So be warned to offer an email address if you like someone, just in case. And write theirs down as well. I think I lost 2 freebie encounters with "normal" guys due to this. Some of my luck on Grindr and Scruff is likely due to the fact that I am still in reasonable shape (10 lbs overweight) and look ok, maybe a few years less than my real age. Certainly do not look like a model though. When I went to boys' apts I only had stuff on me that I was willing to loose if they tried to rob me. Remember, they can't be sure about you either. Both guys were fine. Raphael had a nice dog too. Several of the guys I tried to contact or was in contact with never pursued things. One guy wanted 100 USD (300 R$). Several guys make it clear on the social media sites that they are looking to play for pay. I speak a little Portuguese and Spanish. Without that, you will likely get nowhere. There are probably other social media sites for such hook up or pay for play purposes in Brazil, but I did not ask the boys. Our encounters were brief, pleasant and business like. Someone else may wish to comment on other social media sites. I am only using my Smartphone via Wifi. The guy from the US suggested TIM: 15 R$ for the sim card and then ?25 R$ for a small data plan and an additional small daily fee. Some calls with Skype work ok. Some do not. Calling back to the US is free. No idea how Smartphone calls work. Someone else should comment. ATMs: Getting R$ via the ATMs is likely the best way to go, esp if your card does not charge foreign ATM fees and does not charge an extra 2-3% foreign currency conversion fee. However, finding a Bank ATM that works with your card can be a struggle. Today, I had to try several Bank ATM centers. I was in a Bank with about 8 ATMs in front. 2nd machine worked (not the 1st). It then dispensed 100 R$ notes - which are completely useless in most places (you need bills at or under 20 R$ for most anything here). At least this branch had a cashier for smaller notes. Many Bank ATMs are at Bank locations that do not have a cashier !! At 2.85 R$ / $, it makes it easier for US folks now. Quote

Members dmontes1999 Posted August 7, 2018 Members Posted August 7, 2018 I paid 100 Reals 3 times here in Rio at Pointe this week. Everyone easily accepted my offer of 100 R. For example: to a hot garato, I offered "100 Reals, yes?" who answered, "Thats the going rate, sure". We had fun. Haven't been to Club 117. I am going tonight and will report back. Here's a rate question: how much should I pay a hot garato I met at a sauna for 3-4 hours of afternoon a lunch at a nice restaurant & sex? Tartegogo and Latbear4blk 2 Quote
Members Latindude Posted August 7, 2018 Members Posted August 7, 2018 I am going to visit 117 today as well, Tuesdays never disappoint. But the cold weather may demotivate some boys to commute to the sauna (many of them live far from Gloria). Tartegogo 1 Quote
Members dmontes1999 Posted August 8, 2018 Members Posted August 8, 2018 Just returned from Club 117 this Tues evening. Busy. Lots of attractive guys. Fun evening. I spent time with 2 different guys. Both quickly accepted my 100 Reals offer with no hesitation. I think 100 Rs is still the going rate at the saunas as of Aug 2018. I'm open to hearing other folks opinions and experiences.

I don’t think there is a going rate for that, it is too rare to have a fixed-agreed-by-most price. Some will tell you 150 per hour, but 300 minimum, And some will give you their entire night for 200 total. As long as you pay for everything else of course. Badboy81 1 Quote

It is based on factors that vary depending on the garoto, the customer, and both parties motivation, how good a negotiator you are, etc. But a afternoon is non productive time for them so pay should not, imho, be over $200.R, about the same if you were ordering in off Netgay! I would not pick a “nice” restaurant unless you really want to go to it! the guys really don’t seem to care whether it is MacDonalds or Sequiera Grill, unless you are offering Fogo de Chao!
