Members RA1 Posted January 12, 2016 Members Posted January 12, 2016 Sorry but I do not follow the point of this post. What happened 8 years ago may or may not be of great concern now. I am not happy that these things occurred then but please tell me about worries that are today. Best regards, RA1 Quote

That is all... While I agree that the parks in Rio are generally dangerous based on a lot of reported crime, the parks in Sao Paulo are quite another thing. I think the reason for so little crime around the Sao Paulo parks might be due to many hourly hotels within steps of many parks. Hourly hotels are cheap. They run between 20 - 30 reais for one hour. The personnel at the hotel keeps the I D of the garoto until you both leave. Most hotels are locked after you are assigned a room, which means that if a garoto caused a problem, the garoto would have a problem leaving the hotel. Furthermore, the garoto would forever be forbidden to return to the hotel with future clients. For example, Trionon park, on Avenida Paulista, is in one of the nicest streets in the city. The park is heavily patrolled by police (prostitution is not illegal in Brazil) and it is easy to meet garotos there during most parts of the day. On occasion, a policeman offers his services to interested park visitors if there are not many people in the park. Another park that is nice (but not as nice as Trionon Park) is Ibirapuera Park where there is a nightly parade of hustlers similar to what one would find in Sao Paulo's only hustler bar, Bar Fama. I have never heard of anyone getting mugged in parks or at Bar Fama. - SolaceSoul, ferrar and Axiom2020 3 Quote

Members mvan1 Posted January 13, 2016 Members Posted January 13, 2016 Thanks for the info!! Sex with a cop is always my fantasy. Now I can do it with a REAL cop. NOT SO FAST! As I said previously, prostitution is legal in Brazil. The cops that patrol the parks are not stupid. When they see men hanging around in a park that is heavily frequented by gays and making eye contact, most cops ignore you, but they know why you are there. Sometimes, but not very often, a cop might want to make some money (Sao Paulo cops make around R$1,200 monthly) or the cop just might want to have sex. If all the circumstances are in place and IF the cop makes contact with you, it is possible that you will be able to get the cop to go with you to one of the hourly hotels. HOWEVER - the cop cannot go there during his work hours nor in his uniform. You will have to make an appointment with the cop to meet him after he gets off work or after he goes into one of the bathrooms in a shopping center near the park and changes out of his uniform. One cop I met did not want to go to a hotel in the area. He said he would go with me provided I paid for a taxi to an hourly hotel that he knew of several miles from the park. It was a memorable event, one that I would not mind repeating. Yes, it is possible to have a brincadeira with a cop, provided all the stars line up for you (and they could and do). - floridarob and torogen 2 Quote
