Fragata - seems like old times

[mvan1]

 

 

There was a time (for about twelve years) when I visited Fragata sauna whenever I was in Sao Paulo.   

During those initial twelve years, I enjoyed Fragata sauna far more than I enjoyed Lagoa sauna on other days of the week when Lagoa supposedly was  the best sauna ("in the world").

Traditionally, Tuesday nights and Sunday nights were the busiest days of the week to visit Fragata during those early years. 

On those nights, Fragata was often filled with magnificent/handsome looking garotos.  Fun was had by one and by all.

However, about three years ago the garoto and client turnout at Fragata dwindled and became hit and miss and the crowds were, pathetically small. 

My being somewhat stubborn and loyal, I continued to visit Fragata at least a few times each year to see if it resumed its former fun place.  Each time was a disappointment.  

About a year ago, I totally stopped visiting Fragata because it was a waste of time and  effort to go there. 

 

Last week, one of my Brazilian friends told me he was going to Fragata "for old times sake" - - I wished him well.  

My friend reported back that he had a wonderful time almost as good as in the old days.  I was skeptical, and decided to see for myself.

Tonight I went to Fragata.  My friend was correct.  This being Sunday night, it was nearly as it was in the earlier years.  

What a shock I had tonight - -  walking into Fragata was tantamount to watching a porno movie.  Beautiful handsome guys, many with huge erect cocks, were standing around masturbating and many were making out (kissing and fondling) with clients in the hallways.  

Needless to say, I felt an inital shock but decided to join the fun, and fun I had.  

For those who visit Sao Paulo and go only to Lagoa, consider Fragata.  You might be pleasantly surprised.

Needless to say, I plan to return to Fragata Tuesday night to determine if the old tradition will also be in effect for next Tuesday.

I will write an update if the Tuesday tradition holds.

Wonderful news. I have fond memories of Fragata over the years. I am in São Paulo in March and look forward to a return visit to Fragata.

I always say how I still go to Fragata and some people think I'm crazy..... However, I prefer the guy next door look over the big muscle guys.

Those who think you are - - - crazy to go to Fragata - - - would have a different song to sing now, if they had been there last night.

By the way, it was not only the "guy next door" type at Fragata last night.  There were some muscle guys but most were good looking or handsome types rather than the muscle types so often found at Lagoa.

I already have a small group of my Brazilian friends ready to make a renewal appearance tomorrow night at Fragata.

Like I wrote, if Fragata lives up to its former tradition (Sunday and Tuesday = good nights), I will write an update.

I had in September wonderful times in Fragata.... Besides I rented in Pinheiros and was at walking distance... Very good experiences

The new Rainbow sauna/ hotel was almost empty, though

Fragata was Quite busy on Saturday. It’s a party of some sort. Some new faces since my last visit in May. It’s always nice to have multiple choices :-)

My type is slim boy next door, not bulging muscle. Ideally If the boy seems fond of education, but that’s hard to find.

As luck strikes, there is one tonight! The boy is white but golden tanned, slim build, flat abs with defined packs, shiny big eyes which I later saw are blue, nice smiles and respectful demeanor. Great in bed as well. As we connect on Instagram later, his sharp looks in blue suits only makes me swoon even more:-)

unfortunately he couldn’t go to Fragata on Sunday. We will meet again in a week after I return from Rio. 

Perhaps since they had a party the day before, Sunday is rather deserted comparatively.

Anyways, if you like boy next door type and stop over São Paulo on a Tuesday, most likely you will find someone you like. And their performance in the room is usually much better than Lagoa boys. Ongoing price has been 100 since I first visited this place 6 years ago.

The boys I like say they usually always go on Tuesday and Friday. I also find those days with best options. Low days, sadly, can be a bit depressing.

Some prefer cabbage, others carrots. For the type of boys I like and the easygoing vibe, Fragata is my #1 sauna in Brazil.

Fragata has bounced back in the last few years. I noticed more guys working at both saunas, following the crowd night by night, so the types are not that different any more between the two places, with Fragata having somewhat more black guys and Lagoa having somewhat more porn-star/muscle boys. That said, I've never found Lagoa to be completely dead, even the slow nights, whereas a couple times, like on one Thursday, Fragata was so dead I had to head off to Lagoa.

Last day of my two weeks 2018 Christmas trip Rio/São Paulo. It has been the best trip since I started visiting Brazil in 2012!

A revised ranking for my preference and the luck I had on this trip:

#1: Lagoa - model boys, fresh faces. A recent model boy who did shoots in Italy a couple years back. Lovely boy in and out of the room. Must be really tough to make it as male model. To me, he looks even hotter now than in his shoots 2/3 years ago. 

A cute young couple working Lagoa together the last Sunday before new year. First time seeing that. Had fun with one of them. Would love to try the other half as well, but Lagoa closes on 12/31.

#2 - tie: 202 - a former soldier boy, current jiujitsu instructor, memorizing blue eyes, pretty boy under disguise of tough straight man surface, fantastic in bed. Sadly couldn’t arrange a repeat since he lives 3 hours away from Rio and only works Mondays

#2 tie: 117 - varieties. Hooked on a sweet 18 yo who just started working saunas 3 weeks ago as he turned 18 in late November. A self identified bi boy, he doesn’t do bottom, but is the sweetest kisser, sucker and rims with a smile on his face. Had a 3 time repeat with him. The sweetest moment is when we were done the second time, as I ask to have a photo together, he hugged me from behind and stretched out one hand in a half heart shape encouraging me to complete the heart:-) 

#4: Fragata - Only hot on certain days. The low common price (100) probably deters the hot Lagoa boys from working there even on its best day (Tuesday). Several fragata boys I had sessions with on prior trips moved to Lagoa on later trips. Very friendly boys. Did find one I like on a Saturday. Unfortunately the Tuesday of my trip fell on Dec 25. Agree with Davet that on low days the place can be rather deserted. 

Brazil, the heaven for gay tourists, because of the hot boy saunas. Nowhere else in the world comes close!

Interesting. What is the name he uses in the sauna and what does he look like (hunk, twink ...?).

Jean. A tall slim twink with brown skin. The teenager sweetness is easy to spot. Somehow even at 18, he manages to grow a bit facial hair: side burns and light mustache. Isn’t it funny when you are young, you try looking older. When you are old, you try to reverse the time.
