Members DustinDawns Posted October 31, 2018 Members Posted October 31, 2018 Hey y'all, This will be my fifth time hitting Brazil, but first time really going for the fun and action everyone's detailed here. I'm excited to report back and add to the conversation, but wanted to come to you all for wisdom. Firstly, I'm choosing between hotel and airbnb. If I wanted to bring a guy back from grindr (and abide by all the safety tips I've seen here) are there particular hotels anyone knows of that have great/not too stringent or judgmental guest policies? Would you recommend an airbnb over hotel? I feel like the hotel is safer particularly with this being my first time traveling to Rio alone. Lastly if I just take someone to a sex motel, are there any in particular you recommend? Other question: Any particular advice on finding/picking up younger twinks? Are there any particular saunas that are better than others or any other options? They don't have to be effeminate. I just like em smaller and younger Thank you all for your help. I apologize in advance for any future questions - I try to search through the threads first for clearer answers. I'm excited to report back! Quote

"If I wanted to bring a guy back from grindr (and abide by all the safety tips I've seen here) are there particular hotels anyone knows of that have great/not too stringent or judgmental guest policies? " Oh, uh! One of us is not reading the safety tips correctly as shown in this forum. You would NEVER bring a guy back you meet on grindr to your apartment or hotel unless you knew him previously. That is why most of us recommend meeting guys in the saunas where you will not run the risk of being mugged or worse. Check out this recent thread concerning one of the posters here who met a guy on grindr - Considering your upcoming trip will be your first time traveling alone, perhaps you will want to stick to the saunas for meeting garotos. If you find someone at the sauna and are compatible, you can take him to your apartment or to an hourly hotel after knowing the garoto for a while. Have a grand time. Alaskabear 1 Quote
Tomcal Posted October 31, 2018 Posted October 31, 2018 i only stayed in hotels for the first 3 years of going to Brazil! the last 11 years i have only done apartments and would never go back to hotels...but that’s me! Also if you stay at the same apt.(once you find one you really like)you develop a relationship with the owner, the apt i stay at in Ipanema usually i have a set of keys for so i do not have to meet anyone or give a deposit or security deposit! I have stayed in that apt since 2009 usually 3-4 times a year. I am not staying in it this next week as i am staying with a Carioca friend in his apt as we are throwing a couple of parties!

Members SolaceSoul Posted October 31, 2018 Members Posted October 31, 2018 If you prefer twinks, then go to Manhattan Rios, the newer smaller sauna. I would rather remove my own spleen with an ice pick than have sex with a twink, and I walked in there on one of its busier nights (Friday) and it was Twink Central. You couldn’t get me out of there fast enough! Badboy81, MsGuy and mvan1 1 2 Quote

Members axiom2001 Posted October 31, 2018 Members Posted October 31, 2018 Dustin, follow the advice of Mvan1 and others regarding having company at your rented apartment. As far as your having company at hotels, it's not improbable, but it has never been that easy. When the Hotel Atlantico Copacabana was the place to go during the early to the mid 2000s, one could have guests arrive and play and leave. It was one of the very, very few hotels that did not frown on its guests having company, male/female. Many of us entertained, enjoyed, and did not encounter any problems from the sauna guys or escorts hired from the then net sites or from the hotel management. ...don't know what it's like in 2018, for as you've been reading, many of the guys who've written here during the past year have rented apartments and have had guests, the majority of them being guys from the saunas in Rio, Sao Paulo, Porte Allegre, etc. Quote
Members DustinDawns Posted November 1, 2018 Author Members Posted November 1, 2018 Thank you all for the advice so far! I certainly wouldn’t go to someone else’s place, but had seen other members mentioning brining guys to their place while taking proper precautions. Certainly agree it’s probably best to stick to saunas for first solo trip. Alaskabear 1 Quote
