Last 4 days in Rio

[gap1972]

Unfortunately, the other thread became a shouting match. Some associate gay with drama queen, I am glad that only applies to a small percentage of us. Keep calm, people. We are here to share information and tips, stop criticizing and judging others.

Thanks to tomcal for your advice. I think I need to be more confident and commanding in my interactions with boys. I usually start with a smile and apologizing for not speaking much Portuguese. Your comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Jose said thank you and flew off for his vacation in Paris. The best way to cure empty pillow syndrome is to get out of bed :-) rio is such a beautiful city, it's hard to stay sad for long. Just go to the beach!

Had a great afternoon on copacabana with fellow forum member Epi. He has a several months research appointments in Rio and rented a nice apartment nearby. Wonderful views of the ocean from his apartment. We went to his favorite section on copacabana, where the well built barraca (umbrella and drinks stand) owner smiles at Epi in the way that clearly shows they have shared more than drinks and kisses :-) it's not a gay section, but still plenty eye candies around. In the last hour we were there, a gorgeous young man came to join his older brother and what looks like his brother's girlfriend. He looks like some ancient Greek or Italian sculptures of the young, innocent looking boy you would see in Louve or Vatican museums . Epi thinks he is probably just 16, about 5-10 or 5-11, slim, well defined body, no bulging muscles yet, gorgeous smile. Too bad the sun has come down quite a bit, a large section of the beach is in the shades where he plays ball with his brother, so the pictures I took with my iPod all came out too dark :-(

Epi recommended we go watching the sunset in ipanema. Looks like the most beautiful people all gather at aparador for the same reason. A lot of young lovers, a lot of hot guys came in their beach shorts or speedos, I felt I was overdosing on eye candies:-) sun set around 7:30, the most beautiful sunset I have ever seen! Applause erupts as the gorgeous red sun sank below the water. Perfeito!

We went to have dinner and of course one of the waiters again is "gostoso"! Rio is simply over populated with beautiful boys :-) As we walk around a little after dinner, Epi showed me his beautiful, peaceful neighborhood and some photos of his many young lovers, many of them simply love the older, hairy, established professional type, no money involved. You sure is a lucky man, Epi!

It's close to 10pm as I got back to my hotel. My sadness earlier is all gone after a wonderful afternoon and evening. A great day in the " cidade maravilhosa " cures all!

Thanks for the photos!

Spent the afternoon with Epi again at the same spot of copacabana beach. Saturday, there are a lot more families coming to the beach. Several young dads play with their 3 or 4 years old kids in the water. The waves are pretty big, sometimes the kids got knocked over, but still loves it as they puking sea water from their mouth and nose, very cute to watch. Then of course, more eye candies walking by now and then. We stayed until 5, then separate ways, plan to meet in 117.

Got in 117 at 6:30. The place is packed. It's a bday party for one of the managers, in addition to Saturday. Epi also just got in, we went to the bar area to watch boys while Epi got a tiny cup of coffee. We point out our favorites to each other, it's quite fun. Epi focuses more on body, I more on face. We rarely collide on our favorites. A lot of new faces, quite a few slim or athletic twinks around. I especially like one tanned white twink with light beard. It's really warm in the packed bar area, so we went downstairs to sit besides the boys lockers area, both relax and boy watching. The boy I really like was there too, talking to a client. It didn't click, and the client left. Epi left to check out the massage arrangement to give me a chance to talk to the boy. His name is Lukas again, what the odds. Very nice boy, but a total top :-( it's been quite often the bigger boys I wouldn't guess as bottoms are versatile, the smaller, slim pretty boys are strict tops.

Epi's top target is a tall white boy. I also like his face. A rare agreement between us. I encourage Epi to go for it, he is taking his time. Epi actually has a beach boy tried to set up a meeting with him before he left home, so he is not in a hurry to score. He did meet up with boy 15 minutes later. There was a very friendly dark boy I kinda liked tries to talk me up, he is very nice, quite cute, but too muscular for me, so it didn't work. Another dark boy is quite hot, but he just stands in the hallway with two other boys, didn't catch my gaze as I went downstairs to sit down for a little bit. 5 minutes later, I couldn't find him anymore. Then I walk into Epi, he is not with the tall white boy. He said they talked, and the boy, Enrique, insisted on 150, he doesn't like the price.

Epi then headed to the sauna room. As I walk by the hallway towards downstairs later, Enrique was standing there, and smiled friendly at me. I returned the smile, and he pulled me over. Epi said he is a college student, and I was pleasantly surprised he speaks very good English. He said he learned it from watching English TV shows, even though he doesn't write English well, he can talk quite good. And I like his friendly, easygoing manner a lot. He said he dies everything, has no problem btming, and of course give head without condom. He asks for 150 too. Since Epi couldn't get the price down, I think it's quite all right. I settled on 150 and 170 with the previous two encounters as well. So we went to get room, there is a waiting list. As we wait, he told me more about himself. He is enrolled in a private college studying petroleum engineering. The tuition is quite expensive, but not as academically demanding as the public university he was in earlier in São Paulo. He needs time to make money while going to school. So he is working 117 on weekends only, sometimes only Saturday if school is too busy. I think I actually saw him last year, he was clean shaven at the tine, more to my liking. But still cute even with a beard.

In the room, he is still very relaxed and friendly. As I ask him if he likes girls, he said of course. But he also likes men. He jokes that his mom says he is like a monkey, likes sex with anyone, any hole will work. Again, the non-issue attitude toward sex for Brazilian straight men still amazes me. He is 1.90 meters, out of my usual target range, but the friendly, easy going attitude and cute face win in the end. A college student speaking English is a big plus. We had a quite good time.

As Enrique and I walked downstairs from the suites floor, I saw the other Lukas I had a session with. He is in his red boxer again, looking sexy as usual. If only he is more fun in the room, I would definitely go again with him.

It's 9 already, Epi decided to leave without tonight, he has the boy from the beach waiting at his disposal anyways. We sat downstairs a little longer, a boy in green tank top is putting on his shoes to leave. He then was spraying some body spray on his neck. We both like him. I also like another slim boy with dirty blond hair, but Epi has no interest. We decided to call it a night. I found it to be a great night with many choices, Epi found it too busy for his liking. I think the boys here are a couple calibers hotter than MM, Epi disagrees. So you see, two people have two very different conclusions for the same night. You have to come see for yourself.

I really like the beach in the afternoon, sauna at night arrangements. Rio has been quite fun this trip. With the hotel price coming down a lot, I probably should split my stay between Rio and São Paulo more in favor of Rio. While I did score more consistently in São Paulo before, there is not much else to do if you don't speak Portuguese. Will see how São Paulo sauna holds up this time. Gabriel did say December is not the best time to visit São Paulo because a lot of local clients left town for vacations, saunas are not as attractive to the boys.

Two more nights in Rio. Great trip so far thanks to Jose and fun conversations with a couple boys. And of course, it has been nice hitting the beach with ihpguy and Epi. Let's see, perhaps I will change my preferred city to Rio over São Paulo after this trip.

Thank you for the great reports. I really did enjoy them and also the photos.

Like you, I enjoy Sao Paulo a great deal and I also enjoy Rio. It is hard for me to pick between the 2. I seem to like LaGoa over any place in Brazil for my last few trips but I also like 117 and Meio Mundo. I have not been to Brazil in over a year so my next trip I'll do both cities again. For me, it only takes one special lad to make the city for me. In cities of many million Brazilians, that is often easy to find.

One????? hahahahahaha

When have you only had ONE "special" lad.......

where are you anyway?

[axiom2001]

Thanks for the photos!

I have appreciated your posts and photographs! Muito obrigado!

I do not plan to visit Brasil in 2016 but do hope that all goes well and that I am ready in 2017. It's been four years now since I last visited my favorite country and Rio de janeiro one of my most favorite of the cities that I've visited in the largest country in South America!

I have only one right now in Thailand. He is in the living room with me as it is 9AM. The other one is still in asleep in bed.

ihpguy is a wealth of information and his guiding allowed me to see Rio differently than I ever had before. A truly wonderful guy and a someone willing to give great advice to see things off the beaten path.

One, or two for OZ, special boy makes the trip. Can't agree more. This is the first time I came to Brazil without long excursions, just for saunas. 9 fucks in 9 days are pleasantly exhausting :-) How I love Brazil for this. Plus the nice beaches and great hiking trails. If I win lottery, will be moving here right away!

As God wishes, Sunday is for resting. Even today, the last Monday in Rio, I was not really horny. My rio trip peaked Friday morning after the overnight with Jose. But it would be a nice opportunity to say goodbye to Epi in person, and I planned my last night in Rio on a Monday to check out MM.

For a Monday night, it's rather quiet as I got in around 5:30. Jacson was there, I love his face, but his body is not in a better shape from last year. So no immediate repeat. Walked up to the second floor, sat down to relax a little, look who is here, ihpguy after his gym session. We chat and boy watching. A couple new faces today, but no one I really fancy. The cute top only white twink is still the best looking boy. He has a baby face, Ihpguy says he is too young looking for him, he would have felt he is raping him :-) Then Epi showed up, we all sat down and chat for quite a bit. Not many distractions as it's really a rather quiet night here. After Jose and seeing what's on offer at 117, except for that baby faced top twink, the boys here tonight just don't trigger my fancy.

Both ihpguy and Epi has backup plans if they don't score in sauna, they left at 7 and 7:30. there is a skinny white twink that I could go with if this is the earlier days of my trip. He came over to say hello, I like his smile, but his breath is not fresh, so I decided to call it a night.

8pm, still not very dark yet. There was a boy, about 6ft, athletic built, better looking than anyone inside standing by the building right outside MM. We made eye contact and he nodded his head. I gave him a goodbye wave and walked away. If I speak Portuguese or if he was here before I checked in, I might go for it.

Even metro is rather empty. Ihpguy said probably a lot of people already left for holiday breaks. Am I glad I caught up with Jose before he flew away for vacation on Saturday! I am leaving Rio a happy visitor :-)

São Paulo tomorrow. After a two nights break, I am looking forward to seeing what's on offering there.

My Rio trip ended. Now closing the thread with a couple practical matters. For any future visitors who would like to stay at Hotel Monte Castelo, watch out for two things:

1. They charge a lot for using the phone in the room, especially if you call a cell number. I made one 10 min call to Epi's cell, I am assuming it's a local number, got charged 26 reais.

2. I book the stay for one person, to get Jose staying a night with me, they charged half of regular day price. Since I booked early, this is more than the nightly rate I paid for myself! Should have used the love hotel instead. At least there will be more privacy. I can actually hear neighbours fucking :-(

Overall, hornet helps me find Jose who made the trip for me. MM is rather disappointing this trip. 117 is way better than my previous visits. Quite a few slim twinks, I didn't even get to try some of them since I only went there 3 times this trip. A photo of Henrique, since he is rather proud of working in the sauna, and it's not x-rated photo, I think it should be fine. He looks better in person, at 1.90, he is so friendly like a tall teddy bear, very endearing. He is not my usual type, but I love his personality and the fact that he speaks very good English.

So long, Rio. I am sure I will be back.

Denial is not just a river in Egypt. It might be valuable to read the great insight that TomCal provides here:

http://www.boytoy.com/forums/index.php?/topic/23290-2015-porto-alegre-and-rio/page-7#entry134945

There might not be money directly exchanging hands like a garoto in a sauna or a rentboy ad, but it's still about gifts, dinners, favors, economics and security.

[firecat691614502759]

Truer words were never spoken then in this post by Tomcal and it applies everywhere else that has lots of boys available!
