Popular Post Tomcal Posted August 13, 2018 Popular Post Posted August 13, 2018 I got here friday and have had a great time! but since i did not bring my laptop, no lengthy reports until i get back, because i am doing this on my cell phone! yesterday(Sunday) we decide to go to Bangu Sauna which takes about an hour to get to! It is only open as a gay sauna on Sundays! It is a large space with large rooms, older Building and a lot of it is open to the outside air so yesterday being cold here in Rio it was not very comfortable. It has a pool outside where the guys swim naked! The guys that go there to work i would describe as “neighborhood guys” 18 - 24 , no bodybuilders or muscle guys, but your average lean to slightly worked out bodies! There were only about 12 there but it was Father’s day in brazil and the weather was crappy! Average pay is $30-40.R they said they never have foreigners there so they told me don’t spoil it! lol My friends told me that a typical sunny Sunday they will have about 30-35 guys there. it opens at 5:99 it has been there for 25 yrs i was told.

Members Latindude Posted August 13, 2018 Members Posted August 13, 2018 Wow what a finding! I want to listen more about the place, hope to see you this week in one of the saunas! However I have to say that Bangu is not a safe bairro, you as an experienced traveler to Rio with many local friends should be ok. But I wouldn’t recommend at all to first timers in Rio. Bangu hosts one of the main prisions in whole country. Latbear4blk, TotallyOz, MsGuy and 1 other 2 2 Quote
Tomcal Posted August 13, 2018 Author Posted August 13, 2018 yes the largest prison in the area! but i felt safe there we uber’d there and got there at 4:45 so we had to wait 15 minutes for it to open. Safety wasn’t a concern and i have several Brazilian friend that have been going there a long time with no problems Quote

Members Popular Post pauleiro Posted August 14, 2018 Members Popular Post Posted August 14, 2018 I went there with a Brazilian friend maybe 6 or 7 years ago. It is totally different atmosphere than in Rio or SP sauna. Absolutely no foreigner there as Tomcal mentions. Prices went up. I paid 10 R$ for the room and 20 R$ for the boy for complete program. Also went to Boate Casa Grande for the saturday night fiesta. Wild. Fun. I remember a long stair. Almost each step was occupied by a couple fucking or kissing. Women and men. Men and men. Women and women and of course trans from time to time ... Latindude, Riobard, flipao and 2 others 5 Quote
Members Riobard Posted August 14, 2018 Members Posted August 14, 2018 Best for an entourage outing since Über one-way estimate is $R75-125. Cheap 'furriners' not be spoilin' the place at those transport costs. Quote
Members Latindude Posted August 14, 2018 Members Posted August 14, 2018 I think we should organize weekend excursions to Bangu - sharing an Uber with 4 passengers would be quite cheep. Quote
TotallyOz Posted August 14, 2018 Posted August 14, 2018 This sounds delightful! There was one on the outskirts of Sao Paulo years back and it was always filled with yummy looking guys. Can't wait to test this one out. Thanks for sharing. Tomcal 1 Quote
Tomcal Posted August 14, 2018 Author Posted August 14, 2018 i don’t think the locals who are the support of the sauna would like 4 Foreigners showing up at the same time! it would raise havoc with their pricing, because no matter what they say, Americans in particular, just have to pay more then the going rate because they feel guilty(Axiom)and that really pisses the locals off! so imho no more then 2 americans should go there on a particular Sunday! but then again i have been wrong before...like when i thought FloridaRob was a top!

Members Popular Post pauleiro Posted August 14, 2018 Members Popular Post Posted August 14, 2018 I had fun reading the comments I posted back in 2012 on the bangu gay scene ("my 4th trip to Brazil"). I copied and pasted below. 20 R$ was indeed the rate I paid. Absolutely no foreigner there. BTW, in Manhattan Rio Sauna and in Meio Mundo, there were some boys coming all the way from Bangu. By car it is around 40 minutes, but by ônibus is it more than 2 hours (one way of course). No wonder the boys are a bit desperate to find a programa ! ---------- March 18, 2012 Afternoon with Junior. Night in Boite Casa Grande in Bantu. An incredible experience ... Boite Casa Grande is located in the neighborhood of Bangu (30 kms from Rio), west of the municipality of Rio de Janeiro is a home run the GLS and to you that is very MAN and enjoy a transvestite, biba doll and boy, here's your point. Every Saturday from 22:00 h boite a boil. Besides an excellent disco music is full of dark corners. ** All are welcome, gays, transvestites, dolls and MEN. We arrived around midnight. Entrance is 15 R$. Maybe 150 persons already present. Large majority are brasilians boys between 20 and 25. Maybe 20% of tranvestites, sometimes roughly transformed (ie men only wearing a wig and a dress and some make up). Music is good. A little louder than a 747 taking off in front of you. 2 bars are available. One on the ground floor and the other on the first floor, close to the swimming pool which is not in use. And lot of action everywhere, in particular on the stairs and on the black corners. There are basically 3 small back rooms, one being lit by the stroboscopic lights from the dancing floor, which means action is clearly visible. The stairs are impressive. Men stay there stroking their cocks and transvestites walk up or down and wank them, sometimes they stop and start sucking them or being fucked before going to the next one. In the back rooms, the "girls" suck all men around and then stand up and are fucked by all men willing to do so (all seem to be willing). Huge cocks everywhere. When we entered, my friend Junior told me in portuguese "it is very important not to ???? the transvestites". Unfortunately, I did not understand the word and the music was so loud that we could not exchange much on the exact meaning of what was not to be done .. He also mentioned that I should never pay for action in a back room, but go to the bar and give money there, in the open. Basic safe principles it seemed to me ... Anyway, I am not at all attracted by the transvestites. Many of the men there are good looking and I would not refuse to spend some time with some of them. Good looking muscular guys. Of course I am turned off by the fact that all the action is done bareback. I was thinking that condoms would be provided, but no and of course no one brought its own. I was clearly dreaming ... Junior has found a nice young boy that he introduces me as his husband (in fact his wife, but he does not want to mention it in public). We had a first action when we entered and when he was showing me the place. A young lad came with us in the back room, dropped his pants and let us stroke his cock. More action was possible with him, obviously ... He got a beer for his gentileza ... What is incredible is that in the middle of this orgy, there are some twinks. wandering around. A couple already came to see me and their smile was more than inviting. I was not interested and did not follow up. I tried to spot a couple of hunks who were participating to the orgy, but none showed interest in discussing with me. After some time, though, a nice looking young lad came to me and started chatting with me. Where I was coming from, how I had found the place, what I was thinking of the action, etc. I was also making some questions. Nice chat. After some time he proposed me some action. We discussed about the price and agreed on 20 R$. He will suck me and bottom for me. He proposes that we rent a room. 4 rooms are available. No one is really using them. 20 R$ for the room during 45 minutes. Sarney is good looking. Nice face. Of course, I normally enjoy more muscular guys, but I was not going to lose this opportunity. He is a good sucker and licker. He is soon bottoming. Of course, I brought my own condoms and gel, just in case and it proved useful. At least, before we started action, he asked about "camisinha" (the word for condom in brasil, meaning "little shirt"). He is a great passive. Perfect smooth tight ass. When it is over, he gives me his phone number and proposes another session in my room. Maybe I phone him ... I met Junior and we leave. Junior is a Brasilian friend who is into boys. He likes to go to saunas, but he likes to pick up his boys in the streets. We stop at 3.30 am on our way back to have something to eat and he comments the boys who might be available. I am not really willing to do more tonight. Success rate of asking a boy in the street to have a blowjob is really high in brasil. Finding a boy who will accept to bottom is rather easy. Of course, you need to know where to go and portuguese is a must. After we leave the place where we had something to eat, Junior continues to comment the other places along the road where action can be found. At some point of time, we go through a city where there are lots of soldiers. Staying on a bench at 7 am, while soldiers are doing their jogging is action guaranteed. And of course with great looking muscular young guys. I was thnking to retire in Eastern Europe. Maybe in Brasil ? at home around 4.30 am. What a night ! sanddunes, Latbear4blk, Alaskabear and 2 others 5 Quote

Members DutchDork Posted August 21, 2018 Members Posted August 21, 2018 So what time is best to come in this Sauna? Quote
Tomcal Posted August 21, 2018 Author Posted August 21, 2018 My friends went yesterday and they said guys starting showing up at 6:00 - 7:00. and was busy until 11:00 when they left DutchDork 1 Quote
Members davet Posted September 12, 2018 Members Posted September 12, 2018 Wow. Rio has 3 happening central saunas com garotos (202, 117, Manhattan Rios), 1 still kicking central sauna (Meio Mundo), and 1 happening outskirt sauna (Bangu). Sao Paulo, which is almost twice as big, has only 2 saunas. What's happening? It can't be just the tourist trade that makes the difference with Rio. Are we missing other saunas in SP? Are there any on the SP outskirts, Alterosas being long gone. Are there any in Santos or Campinas and should those be included? PopeFrancis 1 Quote
Members Riobard Posted September 12, 2018 Members Posted September 12, 2018 Moreover, @davet, I just finished a few visits to Lagoa (did not try Fragata this round). Busy, busy, busy, long holiday wkend, but What a letdown in terms of choice of garotos. I am going to write a longer review in my thread. At least 75% of the working guys were less attractive than the bottom 10% at most Rio venues. How the hell did their résumes pass muster is what I wanna know. I had a fun time because there were always one or two "good enough" programas. But the challenge was finding, not choosing. If those guys had not shown I'd have been muito muito pissed off. They would also have been second string elsewhere. I would be embarrassed to promote this place as a bonanza of a stud candy shop for old fags like me with moderate affluenza. São Paulo is simply not going to work for me unless there is a way for premium guys to know when someone willing to appreciatively spend some real money is in town and scheduled to hit the brothel(s). Don't be fooled ... sometimes 25 bucks gets you but this: Quote
Members Riobard Posted September 12, 2018 Members Posted September 12, 2018 Oh, and did I mention that most of the upper-tier guys at Lagoa were visiting from Rio?!!!!! Many of you would recognize them. And if the pics are accurate, several beauties advertising on Grindr. And then there are the acompanhante sites. I would need to develop more patience and organization to go those routes. Alaskabear 1 Quote
Members Tartegogo Posted November 25, 2018 Members Posted November 25, 2018 I am going today. Probably will get an Uber premium, I like my comfort for long rides. I will report. axiom2001 and flipao 2 Quote
Members Popular Post Tartegogo Posted November 26, 2018 Members Popular Post Posted November 26, 2018 No bracelets for the lockers. They assume you want to stay clothed and so do not give towel and slippers unless you ask. Everything works 100% in Portuguese, nobody speaks any decent English. The water is still too cold, so nobody yet uses the pool. I got Ricardo-Junior, 21, for my first. He asked for 50, got 60 since he was an excellent bottom and he came while I was deep inside him. Next Kaio. 21 also, even cuter but top only, so we did only kissing and sucking. He was great, and made me come. Asked for 40, got 50. Spoke some very basic English. Last guy was 20yo and claimed to be able to bottom but didn’t actually let me in. He was terrible. I cut short my losses (loss of time I mean) and paid him off. He was short and cute, though, I liked that. Cabins are free but in a terrible state. Only cold water. None of the boys shave their ass, so, rimming is a different experience there. Several of the boys kept telling me to be careful around there. “Careful with your key”. “careful with your money”. “Careful, some other boys are over charging”, “careful, when you step outside, it is a dangerous zone here”. I probably paid 50 % more than the locals do. Still, the maximum I gave was US$15.7. And that was a full session with double orgasms. My sauna bill was 84. That includes my entrance and all the drinks (6 of them). That is us$21. The most expensive was actually the Ubers. 135 to go there in a premium Uber, and 76 to come back in a normal Uber (the premium cars don’t seem to hang around there, I couldn’t get one). You drive past several favelas on the way, and 2 areas that smell of sewers. I am glad to be back to civilisation, to be honest. All these warnings from the boys are kind of a turn off.

Members Tartegogo Posted November 27, 2018 Members Posted November 27, 2018 Don’t visit if any of the following is true: - if you need your boys to be muscular - if your care a lot about the place’s cleanliness - if you don’t speak Portuguese - if you have too little time to travel back and forth. - if you want to fuck only once. The Uber cost is way above the savings you will make. - if it is not a Sunday evening! Do visit: - if you like twinks and are already bored of those in Manhattan-Rio. and / or - if you want to fuck with 5 guys for a total of less than 500 reais, including transport, entrance, drinks, boy fees etc... and / or - if you like the thrill of being in what one of the garotos called “a danger zone!” 10 hours ago, Badboy81 said: With all said and done...Is it worth visiting or should I just stick to the ones in Rio? Thanks Just for the record, my reason was so that I could brag about it here! Only kidding. I guess I needed to see something a bit less manicured and more rough. Life of a working boy in Brasil is hard, and not because of the competition in the saunas, but because there are areas with so little money, that some straight boys have decided that, to get fucked by old local men for US$9 is a good life option.

Wow...thanks for the feedback... The majority of the guys are twinks and not really the caliber of guys that I would see at Pointe or 117? I may check it out on my next trip in December since Ill be there until Monday... Quote
