In Rio and Sao Paulo this week

[Tomcal]

I arrived in Rio last Friday and after getting to the Apartment i decided i would go to Pointe and Copacabana from Ipanema as i didn't get a lot of sleep on the plane.  When i got to Pointe i ran into my favorite massage guy, one of 3 Venzuelan messueses there.  When we got up to the room he says to me do you want me to invite a new guy to join us? he is new but great body and dick and is a very nice guy(this became a reoccuring theme!). I said sure  and about 2 minues later a 6'2" lean/toned guy with a great smile and huge dick showed up!  He came in and kissed me and felt my ass, and i quickly said " I am a top only, it is him that we are going to fuck!  a big smile and he said let's get going!  We had a lot of fun and laughed a lot  and were up there almost a hour.

When I came back downstairs there was a guy standing near the tables opposite me where i was at the bar,  He was naked and hard and holding his towel in his hand  and swinging his impressive dick around! Normally i ignore these type of guys because if they are working that hard to impresss you they usually are not that good in bed! as i was talking to the guy sitting next to me this guy just kept up the show, and stayed hard without touching himself and so finally ii gave in and invited him over,   he had just been in Rio a week and was from Bahia He was smart, articulate and a bit of a attitude that disappeared once we started talking.  He showed me two professionally done tapes he had made a a singer on Youtube and it was obvious that they were professsionally recorded and directed with back up dancersl  There was another guy who I have known for several years who i was going to a room with and i said to him "should we take him too?" and he nodded YES!  I will admit i can be wrong this guy was amazing! one of the best i have been with in Brazil.  He is 24, says he is Bi but they all do, all i know is that he is very good! ! 

After we came down i got a message that a guy i have known from Belo Horzonte had just gotten in on the bus and would meet me at the apartment at 9:30 so i left to go meet him.  Friday night Pointe was pretty busy with at least a dozen new faces.    that was my first night in Rio last Friday.

Before i give my report on last weekend, let me say that i have not been to Lions; this trip and don't intend to go! a couple of reasons.  the "quality escorts only go there if they have a client that wants to meet them there.  It appears that the American owner of it really likes drag queens to the point of there being up to six there some nights with their entourages.  I am not a big drag queen fan i go for the Brazilian guys that are there,  There also appears and iand I have been told at times a heavy drug presence and i don't want to be swept  up in a Brazilian drug bust orchestrated by a jeaolous patron.  It also appears to be 2nd and 3rd tier guys working there(street trade) with exceptions but it just isn't worth it for me.  Also the place is so big you get lost in there especially when it is mostly empty.

Saturday night and Sunday and Monday i went to Point, it was raining hard at times traffic was ground to a halt and there were a lot of new faces! i had a great time with a number of guys.   Monday night was very busy but Saturday and Sunday were mocerateky busy but i knew alot of the guys there and met a 1/2 dozen new ones.  

Tuesday I went to 117 and while it was packed I really didn;t find anyone i felt i needed to go with. First let me explain that i had been with many of them already.....but that was 5 to 12 years ago(and in the case of 2 it was 15 years ago) and whioe their bodies look amazing the faces have not weathered the test of time as well as their bodies!)  I was fun catching up with them!  about 6:30 the guy i met from Bahia who had moved to Rio several weeks before showed up and  i was much happier.  He said "should we find a 3rd to go with us?"  I said " lets obth look and see if we can find someone mutually agreeable and no sooner had the words left my mouth when this really cute short  guy showed up.. i immediately went over to talk to hiim and it was his forst night and i was the first person to talk to him!  I was mesmerized by his beautiful fface and equally gymmist build. he seemed very shy, but then my first night in a sauna i was too....maybe! lol    He was passivo and a amazing kisser, so i asked him if he wanted to meet the next night and he said Yes!   IF you are looking for older mucled types then 117 right now has a lock on that.  There were also a number of average looking average body big dick guys there as well

Wednesday night at Pointe was their big night! the place was packed with muscle guys, gymnist builds, toned guys, thin guys with giigantic dicks, twinks etc  There truely was something for everyone.

Wednesdays in Pointe are amazing. I am not very sociable, but the atmosphere is so friendly that it is impossible not mingling and having fun.

Is it possible to get an update on best saunas and nights to go for both RIO and SP? Its been awhile since the last update on this site so this topic may be of interest to others a well. Also wondering about sauna(s) in Porto Alegre. If anyone has first hand knowledge of Carolina's Bar and Wild Thermas Club in Sao Paolo it would be welcome. Thanks for the insight!!

[henry1988john]

This info is in this forum all over the place....there are some resent answers although not much has changed in the past few years...

Do a quick search

I am going to skip over the last 2 days in Rio and jump to my arrival in São Paulo! i chechen into the hike i rent here and left for Lagoa! it was busy on all the floors it seemed! your first couple of times here i think most of us will need a GPS to navigate the various hallways/stairways to figure it out! al of the sudden i saw a stunning guy great body who looked like a italian movie star!  it turns out he was the real cousin(as opposed to all the guys who say they are primos)of a guy who i have known for 4 years and whose apartment i have stayed in on several weekends!! i immediately got a suite and all i can say he is amazing and has stayed with me overnight the last 3 nights!  this is one reason I love Brazil!

What about the new Fragata? Mind you are obviously very busy with what you met at Lagoa.

there Is NO new Fragata...yet. the local guys tell me when they call the nunber listed they either get no answer or one of the workman answer! i heard everything from next lweekend to the end of April!  most seem think late March!  I asked Rudolfo and he just shrugged and said “no one seems to know!(not unlike when lagoa  when it was under construction if you remember!

[sydneyboy1]

I have postponed my Brazil trip until October so it should be operational by then. Judging from the rather mixed reviews Lagoa has received I am intrigued if a new Fragata will give Lagoa real competition.

i wouldn’t postpone it because it hasn’t opened yet! all 3 nights Lagoa was Packed when i was there!  especially Friday and Saturday l! I found one of the most stunning guys i have ever met in Brazil there last Friday!

I am canceling for personal reasons. My point is that Fragata has historically been the poor relation of the 2 and with new premises and a new identity it may give Lagoa a run for its money. Yours is the most positive review so far of the new Lagoa

The photo above is from Google maps of sleazy sexshop in SP that I had a wee bit of fun in... "Little hell"  also known as Cine Paris República, Av. Ipiranga, 808 - República, São Paulo

I was at Lagoa in SP last September, and every night I did go there and every night I was wowwed by the quality and quantity of talent there.  I would succumb to the charms and allure of one stud, spend some alone time with them, only to come out of our room and be confronted with at least 2 or 3 more even hotter guys whom I'd wind up getting intimate with after a short restorative stop at the sauna bar.  I was quite impressed with Lagoa.  I had been to SP only once before in 2015, only went to Fragata then, and was seriously underwhelmed by Fragata facilities and its talent on offer.  eh... but maybe it's just me;   I've also been advised that the Lagoa Sauna I visited in September 2019 is no longer operating at that location... is that true?  Well, I hope that the new place retains the talented wonders I met then.  The old Lagoa website (http://www.thermaslagoa.com.br/) appears to announce the new location as of November 22 2019. 

 

as for Rio:  Clube 117 is my favorite, always a good variety of guys and great clean facilities with friendly staff at the bars and front desk always.  Pointe 202 was much better this last visit in August/September than my previous experience in 2011-2015 (No Brasil for me 2016-2018, darn it).  Pointe 202's guys available were much better quality than I'd seen before there, and their go-go boy floor shows always entertaining, too.  I just wish 202 had showers in each room as 117 does.  Also, some of those rental rooms at 202 are like sweatboxes with little ventilation, really making the lack of in-room shower frustrating

 

Club Lyon had opened about a month or so before I got there, and when we walked there from the Glorai Metro subway, we got there about 6pm only to find only one single rentboy in the place and he was a pale wisp of a guy bent over his phone screen.  We left immediately and never returned

 

Side note about Sao Paulo:  a friend had mentioned he had been told about a sleazy hole in the wall kind of sexshop in the Republica area where lots of cheap street trade guys could be found incredibly cheap... "Little hell" it was nicknamed.  Cost: R$8.60     I see from Google Maps now that the gloryhole sexshop is contained in a place called Cine Paris República, Av. Ipiranga, 808 - República, São Paulo - SP, 01036-000, Brazil

I was able to talk an online rentboy with whom I had spent time in my hotel, to have him guide me there.  It was just a little ways from the Republica Metro station, past corner of Avenida Ipiranga and  R. Barão de Itapetininga, close to Av Sao Joao.  It was definitely lively, sleazy fun, but watch your wallet, nowhere to clean up really either so bring some wipes with you!

i think i have tried to give honest reviews over the past19 years...BUT...we all have different / views /expectations. i think a lot of people in general like “what was and what replaces it is not as good” but i look at it this way, it is better then the alternative which is no sauna! No one could have a sauna as big as the old lagoa was because from a business standpoint the rent would be astronomical!  

I go to there place that has the hottest guys regardless if it has a big stage, large bar area, big drag queen shows, individual bathrooms, etc. but i know everyone has different hot button/ issues, and you have to discern what’s the reviewer is saying in relation to what you like and make a decision where you want to go! Over the years i have had the 3 main saunas in Rio change in my positioning of them(in 2008 -10 and again from 2014 to 2016 i seldom visited pointe! this trip i was there every night except Tuesday when i went to 117.

Although I've always preferred to meet the meat in person first, I did use online websites for some very happy endings with rentboys this past visit to Brasil.  Most helpful was vivalocal:   https://search.vivalocal.com/acompanhantes-gays/br?lb=new&search=1&start_field=1&keywords=&cat_1=248&geosearch_text=&searchGeoId=&sp_personals_age[start]=&sp_personals_age[end]=

for just Rio:  https://www.vivalocal.com/acompanhantes-gays/rio-de-janeiro

 

for Sao Paulo: https://www.vivalocal.com/acompanhantes-gays/sao-paulo

 

for Salvador:  https://www.vivalocal.com/acompanhantes-gays/salvador

 

MY FAVE neweer prospective talent I see online since my last visit, and whose meat I hope to meet next trip is:

although this one in Salvador with 27cm looks great, too: https://www.vivalocal.com/acompanhantes-gays/vitoria-salvador/actorporno-27cm/205163683

Enjoying the vivalocal links, but my Portuguese is nonexistent.

Is it possible to filter the results for passive English speakers?

Looking profile by profile is fun.....but exhausting.

If you're using your phone install Google translate if you are using a Chromebook or a laptop also install Google translate and it would translate the page from Portuguese to English

I am back in Calif. and thought i would give my thoughts and opinions on my latest visit specifically regarding the sauna scene!

Rio - i went to pointe202 5 nights and club117 .twice. i did not go to a Lions Sauna for reasons previously given above!

Pointe202 was good all the nights i went with a lot of new guys working there! majority were between 19 and 25, toned to muscular bodies with maybe a 1/2 dozen twinks, 15+ semi to muscular guys and the rest average to toned bodies! i met a 24 yr old from Bahia there who was amazing and i went with him 3 different nights in 3-ways! i also met a really cute, guy who there on his first night and kinda shy(not in bed) and he has been messaging me every day since, he is in their version of the ROTC program at the University!(and is definitely a keeper!)

117 was packed on Tuesday with over 50+ guys working! more then 1/2 are muscular and over 24 up to 40+ Years old. there are a number of average body/big dicked guys!, 

São Paulo- i was there 4 nights Friday thru Monday.  Friday and Saturday nights Lagoa was very busy! The new location is a drastically different layout and the first night i got lost several times with the four floors and several sets of stairs but eventually it all came together for me! I didn’t see any guys i knew from previous visits but met several new guys one of whom i really fell for! 

Termas 555(formerly Fragata)is not opened yet but rumor is it will be in March!

Thanks so much for the help. 

One funny glitch, if you translate the page, and then select the translated item from the drop down menu (e.g. "passive" instead of "passivo") you will get ZERO results. You have to go back to the untranslated page and pick out the untranslated item from the drop down menu. Then you will get the results you are seeking. It's not that hard, but I figured I might be able to help someone else who is trying to search using the Google translated version as well. 

[Tomcal]

It seems this thread has wandered considerably from my post of “In Rio and São Paulo this week”! so i will stop posting about it now as it gets kind of disjointed, but if anyone has any questions feel free to message me!

[Bucknaway1614502762]

I'm starving for updates!
