Popular Post Badboy81 Posted January 2, 2017 Popular Post Posted January 2, 2017 Rios sauna scene continues to be a heaven for older, whiter gentlemen who adore young, Latin guys... I went to 117 on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday....they were closed Saturday and I would bet that Sunday was extremely packed... Weather was in the mid 90s during my entire trip...PERFECT beach weather... Rates increased with most boys asking for $150R initially and a few staying with that asking price...most accepting $120R or $120R... I get the whole service for pay scenario but couldn't help Thanking God I have other options and wondering if many of the boys work there for ease of money, necessity or because it pays better than other service industry jobs ...No judgement...Just observations... Clients are mostly older, whiter gents ranging from mid 40s to 70s with a few Euopeans and Canadians in the mix and a few African Americans, who stand out, including myself....Goratos range from 18, 19 to early 20s and early 30s with a few OLD guys who I have seen for years that need to retire but maybe still somebodies taste... -Tuesday was extremely packed with boys and clients....free locker night... -Wednesday-packed but not as crazy as Wednesday....a lot of the same boys....a lot of the same clients who I have seen on the regular and maybe this is their social club -Thursday-packed again, more clients and boys than Wednesday....I think the holidays had a lot to do with that... -Friday was extremely package, hard to walk around....got there around 6:30 and left around 8:30...Way too much going on... I tend to stick with the same guys I like...one from October, extremely hot lighter skinned latino with an amazing ass and is resourceful enough to use Whatsapp and a translation app... Met a very, very hot muscular guy with red hair, naturally red hair...great ass, amazing body and definitely not a type that I would find often in the states Overall-117 continues to be the go to place for locals and visitors, friendly staff, clean, professional with a great assortment and variety to satisfy all requirements... Rio is still my favorite city on earth thus far, I appreciate and love it for what it offers...the dirty, trashy, beautiful, helpful, luxury, high end, the beaches, the culture, the boys, the girls, the food, the energy....All that Rio offers....

Members likeohmygod Posted January 2, 2017 Members Posted January 2, 2017 Hi badboy, thanks for the post. I guess there's a mistype. Quote Rates increased with most boys asking for $150R initially and a few staying with that asking price...most accepting $120R or $120R. Did you mean R$100 or 120? If yes I must say that prices are still the same of November 2016 when a close friend of me went to 117 and he was asked on average around 150, easily negotiable to 100/120. Badboy81 1 Quote

Since I have been going there for the past 16 years, its been my observation that for the vast majority of the guys it is the ease of money for 18 - 22 yr.olds to make without a education and far exceeds what they can make in a labor job. The best example of this is I had a friend building a home in Rio, and we would go to the site to check on the progress each day. At that time they were digging out the foundation by Hand! there was a Hot 19 yr old guy with big biceps lean body who I thought was really hot. I asked the foreman to ask the guy If he would be willing to do a programma after work. I'll skip all the details but he did and 2 days later went to work in the saunas. turns out he got paid $35R/day for digging with a pick axe for 8 hrs a day in the sun, vs. working for 3 hrs in a air conditioned sauna for many times that amount of money! But the vast majority work for only 3 months to a yr. or so before they move on to "regular" employment. There are the long term sauna boys that have worked there for years(I ran into one that I met on my first trip to Rio in October of 2001) but I would guess that 75% work from 3 mo. too 1 y.

Good observation...I have seen a few that have been working for years and then I have seen some only one or two times in the saunas... Interesting is the one who are gay that I see outside of the saunas, beaches, bars, Lao..those I clearly know they just realize they make more money in the saunas than they could in many industry jobs...
