Lagoa last night

[floridarob]

Went to Lagoa last night, their first night open after about a month. Hours are Noon- 7pm but let most stay until 8pm. Was the busiest I think 've seen it in the new space. Namazu was there along with a couple of other board members. I told Namazu that people were waiting for his updates and he said he's busy "making new content", lmao

I was also in Rio last week, the Atlantico Copacabana rooms were about $20 usd a night, felt like old times staying there. Lions is closed with doubts that it will re-open, who knows. Point 202 had a few good nights Meio Mundo is good on Monday, 117 was good on Tuesday, 202 on Wed.....but 202 seemed like it had the most going on more than just 1 night.

With restrictions in SP of most everything closing at 7pm is kind of different, but I always plan to have someone come to my place after to keep me entertained. Seems like if you get into a restaurant or sauna before 7pm, you can stay until 8pm.

That's all I got, not the writer like Namazu....I don't know how he does it

Given the lack of Brazil reports lately, this one by @floridarobis a masterpiece!

Are they including breakfast at that price? It was always a decent place in my opinion...not luxury but good location with short walk to beach.. Still okay with overnight guests?

I remember if you paid for a double you could bring them to breakfast.

What is busy?  How about how many guys? Do they seem to be holding over well during Covid or has it crushed the scene there?

I'd guess there were about 30 guys and 30-40 clients....Hasn't crushed the scene, but is different.... I'll probably go to Upgrade sex club later this week, let's see how that place is, especially with the limited hours.....

[babybear2]

wow, 3 legend members are currently in SP

Any new faces?

With economy hit so hard, I thought there would be many new hot guys making some quick money.

But it is not the case based on my experience in Feb this year, pretty much the same group of guys

I suspect some are cautious when playing with unknown clients whose vaccination status is not determined. Or perhaps the pandemic is a boner killer?

No, business as usual....

Any idea if some of the famous Lagoa dancers are more open to a "programa" given the business slowdown??

During lockdowns, many stepped up their appearances on CameraPrive https://cameraprive.com/us/guys

Dumb question here. What’s the currency denomination?

A few years ago I was in Brazil and looked into registering, had a bit of back and forth texting with admin. The fees were, for example, 15 reais for Brazilians for a ‘15’ charge, but as a foreigner it was going to be $15 USD, though that would mean even more in Canadian dollars. I wasn’t complaining, just inquiring, but the person got all defensive, suggesting I had it better and should be willing to pay multiples more.

I don’t think they grasped the global Big Mac Index, where that burger costs only a bit less in USD in Brazil compared to America. Anyway, if I spring for, say, a ‘5 whatever’ or ‘100 whatever’ charge for one provider photo or chat listed at those ambiguous prices what exactly is the charge going to be on my statement?

One reason I am extra curious, having written it off at that time when there were few guys on the site, is that a few lads I follow obsessively on social media, not strippers or escorts that I knew of, are now showing up!

I received message from a guy I know from last trip, he said he did not make enough money for food and rent this month

feel bad for them

[floridarob]

Since re-opening last Saturday....only that Sat and the following Sun were any good....rest of the days, blah. But it only takes one to make the night.....

Many Guys say that a lot are afraid to go out and many customers don't have the money to spend because of the lack of work during the Pandemic......I'm having fun, but maybe not as exciting for most to be here.....

I am so jealous of you pfizer/moderna vaccinated people.

Do people use masks in the sauna? Are the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines good against the P1 variant?

[Riobard]

It is known from preliminary lab studies that the level of antibodies generated against the P1 variant by the mRNA vaccines is lower compared to original wildtype virus strain. The clinical implications are not known.

Chile likely has P1 fairly predominant and just reported real world effectiveness for about 4.5 million complete dose2of2 CoronaVac inoculations. As they have data for about a half million full vaccinations with Pfizer’s BNT162b2 we may see some effectiveness metrics against the backdrop of some degree of P1 proportionality. Chile seems to have a very sophisticated database of infection surveillance, natural immunity, and vaccination uptake by product.

The USA CDC will apparently soon be only monitoring vaccine breakthrough resulting in hospitalization or death.

Chile is all in with CoronaVac and now with Sputnik V, siding with Russia against Brazil’s Anvisa rejection of the latter, but with enthusiasm in common with that of Brazil for the former. This could result in bypassing BNT162n2 as a product comparator if there if is not going to be much further use of it, a lost opportunity given that large scale mRNA vaccination where P1 currently predominates is unlikely elsewhere.

I think that what is more relevant is, one, the relative vulnerability of being partially as opposed to fully vaccinated with either of the two mRNA’s. There is a significant gap in protection comparing dose1of2 and dose2of2, and many nations are delaying full vaccination. And, two, the known potential of vaccine breakthrough infection increasing with community case prevalence. The rolling incidence in Brazil is 7 times that of Dominican Republic.

I am back in Brazil next Friday for 11 days! it will be my 3rd trip since December. I was going to be in Rio, São Paulo and Porto Alegre but now will skipping POA as it is too difficult to get flights in and out back to Rio or SP without spending 5+ hours for a connection for a 1-1/2 flight!  I really wanted to go as i had 5 guys i wanted to see as they have been sending me Videos every week for the last month!

i will be in SP the first weekend  and the last weekend and in Rio between the 2 weekends.

Unlike many other countries, Brazil offers amazing cheap options from Amsterdam. Sao Paulo with BA Business for only 1600 Euros. But I don't know. Running around naked through a massage parlor to find a guy is not my idea of fun. I like to keep that big belly of mine nicely tucked under whatever I am wearing.

Still, I find it very interesting to hear your stories :-)
