Nov 2022 Rio de Janeiro

[Uqtyang]

First qantas flight Sydney to Santiago direct since pandemic began, onto Rio in a small plane with no business class. My seat mate in PE was a handsome family guy. When getting off he took the amenity kit, blanket and the pillow and an apple from the plane with him. He reminded me I have forgotten mine, I thanked him and explained my carry on bag was too full with no room for extra items. 

Take home message - maybe it’s okay to take away onboard items in South American flights? In my last 2 trips with United from IAH to GIG I saw seat 1A lady collected all used Polaris amenity bags from other seats, 

Sunday 30/10 - landed in time when announcement of Lula’s win was made. Firework outside of my window until after midnight. Not going out. V visited for the night. He is the tall handsome twink I met in my last trip. He and his cousin G always go to work together at 117. Now G got married to a rich girl and he has a Land Rover and Gucci sneakers. They have not been working for a month.

I heard there is a truck driver protest-blocking highway from Sao pulo GRU airport to city the next day. I was lucky.

Monday 31/10. Heavy rain está chovendo. Only pointe 202 open. Got there late about 8pm. Not crowded with only a few boys. Two were eager to offer the service sitting next to me showing off their big cocks. I have seen them both before. A new face with muscle from Uberlândia turned up. His name is T. I asked for price in front of all 3. Muscle guy T asked for 150, the skinny big dick guy asked for 200 then dropped to 120 for a 3some, then 150 with gozar (cum). I went with  T solo as he said he is versatile, but he has never got a hard on in the room. His muscled arse and legs are unbelievable. He was excited to shivering when his nipples were played. I knew I was stupid but I did not put a condom on and eventually came in his arse. He was aware of the whole thing but did not say no. I gave him 200, asked for his WhatsApp and Instagram, and took a morning after pill when back home. He is not good at replying WhatsApp message. He has a degree in ME. He is handsome too. his balls are apparently shrunken. We all know why by seeing his perfect muscled body. That’s the price to pay.
take home message - 1) have some prep/ anti viral ready for my future trip as I can’t predict when I will act stupid again. 2) if you use steroid to grow muscle, your balls will shrink. 

Tue 1/11 supposed to be the biggest night for 117 but there was a massive storm at 6pm. Still a good turnout at 117 but mostly familiar faces. Half of the boys I know have had put on an extra layer of fat, the other half an extra layer of muscle to the degree I no longer like. I saw this new young guy with a red cap spreading his legs while seating in a table with clients. I always fancy long thick thighs. He was cute too. He went upstairs with a pretty hot client, and came back sitting in the table again. He has never been available this night. I decided to go home empty handed. A hot boy (I saw him before too) was sitting on the stairs waiting for Uber to Botafogo. Yes it is correct it takes ages for Uber to come if it is raining. Sneaky thing is that you need to pay first before the Uber app tells you how long you have to wait. Shopped for toilet paper and  beef in the supermarket next to Gloria metro then jumped onto a taxi. No longer empty handed às I have my toilet paper rolls in one hand and beef in another.

Got back to apartment in Flamengo I saw my neighbour girl screaming in the hallway escorted back by police.  She told me 3 “men’s” were following her and trying to get her just 300 metres from here in front of lojas americana. I gave her a pack of chocolate and a can of Heineken and wished her calm down and sleep well.

Take home message: táxis are more reliable than Uber when raining. Keep safe always even in the “safe” neighbourhood.

Wed 2/11 biggest night at Pointe. Junior was bartending. Still raining outside but a good turnout of boys and clients. Still mostly familiar faces. Hot muscle T is here again (he does not seem to go to 117). I told him I wanted to bottom tonight and he did not offer to top. Went to upstairs bar to check out more boys and saw this giant handsome guy standing at 6”5 just finishing a client. Beautiful thick thighs. He asked for a beer and then another. He smelt drunk. Big hard cock but did not want to perform properly in the room. Hurried off but gave me his cum in the shower. I gave him 200 as he asked for before sex. He then came back to me saying 300 two minutes later. I said no as we have agreed on 200 with gozar. He then backed off. He told me he is 32. His instagram has his swimwear modelling photos.

unsatisfied i started looking again. A short guy with solid but proportionated muscles came to me. We waited for 15mm for the free suite. I saw him before but never had him. He was 20 yrs old with 2 sons, he was doing a good job. 

Got to the steam room before shower to go home. Hotter and steamer than 117’s. A hard working garoto wearing a figure-of-8 splint for his recent clavicular fracture came for business. He spoke very good English and told me he has not had a client tonight. I apologised as I cannot take more dick and admired his working spirit. 

Take home message -  garotos over 30 turn to be sneakier and softer muscles in spite of still in shape. I have had similar experience with another beautiful 30+ surfer guy who frequents both saunas, he cannot top, and is an unwilling bottom. 

let’s hope tomorrow will not be raining again.

Great report and thanks for sharing. Brasil is still the place for fun and lot more. Easy and uncomplicated hookups which we all enjoy. Plenty of young and available hot guys. Enjoy the rest of your wonderful trip. I’m hitting to southern part of Turkey, Antalya, believe to have lot of young and beautiful Russian and Ukrainian….

Rain ruins a night....guys don't want to melt or something

When is the last time you were in Rio?

[Uqtyang]

I was there in April, and Aug 2022.

Thu 3/11 - no longer raining, went to 117. Still a good turnout for a Thursday. They took away the swinging curtains in the hallway and Halloween deco on stage, but closed off the smoking bar tonight. The main bar was cold and music was load. I had a nice chat with my new Canadian friend, but did not go with any boys. There was a hot muscle guy who went to the closed smoking bar but when I chased there he was nowhere to be seen. I guess he is one of the strippers for the show. There was a hot daddy I fancy but when I saw him at 8:30pm he was already fully clothed on his way out. I got in perhaps at 7:30pm. My Canadian friend had fun earlier before I arrived. 

A few new faces from Mina’s gerais but I was not interested.

Notably one of the staff also put an extra layer of fat on after 2 weeks holidays. 

It reminds me to go back to gym tomorrow after my jet lag settles a bit.

I think many of the garotos live from 1-2 hours outside of Rio metro. May of them are from compo grande, nova Iguazu and other places I cannot pronounce the name. Omnibus and metro, and some guys on motorbikes. It is hard for them to travel in the rain.

i know one sauna guy who just broke his entire lower leg bones during a motorcycle accident in a shower evening. Still in hospital 2 months after. Feel sorry for him.

[floridarob]

Happens even in SP, and many live in Republica area or closeby.....

I will be landing in Rio on the week before Thanksgiving. If any friends are going to be around, send me a PM.

beautiful Russian and Ukrainian

I had heard about beautiful Russian women on the job in Antalya, beautiful women in general in the city as it was the most European-like city I've seen in Turkey and the women wear tight jeans, etc. But are there also Ukrainian and Russian young men working there as well. I often notice how many hot-ish looking Ukrainian men there in news reports and so forth. Not conventionally good looking maybe.... but maybe it's a type of a masculinity.

With recent migration from those countries plus workers prior to the war started, they are plenty. Generally, during winter, lot of Russian and Ukrainian holiday in southern part of Turkey. Met them via an applications….

Friday 4/11. Not raining and 117 was busy. Got in late again about 8pm. New amigo from Canada has already left after meeting a “cute” guy there. I saw this white muscle guy chatting with a client. He tried to avoid eye contact with me. He must be getting his business. I walked around and ran into this sweet tall dark hunk from Bahia. We went to a room. On my way out the white muscle guy met me on the stairs and became such a very sweet talker, but I cannot handle another one. I left for the night, maybe next time when I see him again. Light shower on way out.

Thank you for the tip I've heard that they usually stay in South Turkey near Anatolya? Bet it would be exciting to meet a nice person there! How do you get to know/ meet them?

[Tomasian]

I'm loving your report. I've been meaning to go back to Brazil but why are the fares so expensive right now?

Fares from Australia are expensive everywhere right now. Pent up demand and reduced services.

I just spent 3 days in Rio and had a great time. I had fun at both 202 and 117. The day and a half that were decent beach days were perfect--not too hot and good crowd at Farme.

It's worth remembering security issues even if you've been there many times like I have. It three days I saw three thefts--including mine!

First day walking toward the beach at the end of Farme I saw a crowd of people chasing a little kid (probably not more than 11 or 12) who I think had just taken a cellular -- crowd was catching up to him and he tossed the phone into the street and got away after the crowd went for the phone--lots of yelling but no violence. Second day I met up with some friends at the beach who live in Rio. They were trying to find me by texting me but I always leave my phone in the apartment. Glad I did that day. We were standing, talking and getting caught up. Suddenly I noticed that my bag which had been directly at my feet a second ago was gone. Only lost about 150reals and an old Kindle reader. I always keep my apartment keys tied to the string of my bathing suit and guard them more than anything. My friends all said(and these guys grew up in Rio) that I was smart to be a paranoid tourist--that if it had been their bag they would have lost keys, phones, cards. The third incident was the most dramatic. I met a nice German couple (boyfriend/girlfriend) at dinner. On Sunday I was walking the closed street along the beach in Ipanema and ran into them again. They were saying how Rio seemed so much safer than they expected. Literally not a minute later out of nowhere a guy ran up and grabbed a chain off the girl's neck. A loud scream and a welt left behind but otherwise no harm. He was a block away before anyone could react. We all know to leave our jewels at home but I guess they didn't get the memo--still shocking though.

The point to recanting this is just to remind you not to get too comfortable and let your guard down. I have been pretty lucky in going there for 20 years but close encounters like these remind me to always be careful. I'm not sure crime is getting worse but 3 incidents close up in three days has me wondering.

[Menaughty]

@asdsrfrhow do you navigate if you leave your cellphone at the apartment?

One more question, the area where 202 & 117 located, how safe are those areas?

[Riobard]

unSAFE, where SAFE stands for Satisfactory Answer For Everyone. If nothing bad happens it was safe. If something bad happens it was evidently not safe. These impressions are made based on episodic data.

I have stayed an accumulation of several months near Gloria (117) and I have consistently felt comfortable. I would estimate that less than 1% of folks ambulating out and about are tourists, so it would be slim pickings for opportunistic crime, unless the felon is Cruella-replicated and after the designer dogs that seem to be on leashes possessed by all economic strata. But I dress and act to blend in. 

I have pretty much only been to Copacabana of an evening for the sole purpose of attending 202. In and out via Metro. I feel a bit more on edge for the short block or two between the concentration of populated street eateries, that fades out more distal from the station going north, and the club entrance itself. Again, this would not be a part of the district where foreign tourists are out for a stroll off the beaten path. Thieves seem to correlate their playbook with where the low-hanging fruit of visitors is more abundant. 

All this said, practice wisdom is evidently that eventually everyone will be initiated into one mishap or another stemming from premeditated or impromptu crime.

YES! 

(Not so) secretly, I enjoy that Gringos in South America feel as many minorities in USA streets: unsafe and targeted.

I only leave my phone in the apartment when I go to the beach--otherwise I have it and use it as needed. I don't walk around with it out glued to the latest social media or news posts but use it for navigation and uber. A lot of people do indeed take their phones to the beach but things can disappear in an instant there. As far as the areas around 117 and 202--I think they are basically safe and I have never witnessed any crime near those venues and I have come and gone many times!

[Riobard]

I must be old. How did I ever travel for decades prior to smartphones that began with shoebox sized devices with antennae? Amazing the skills that I along with contemporaries possessed. Everything seemed to click just fine. And I have hosted peers in Brazil and they refuse to possess a smartphone and do just fine venturing out on their own. It’s not a bullet-proof vest and the vague notion that it will inoculate you against street crime by conferring an edge is an illusion. It is actually more a type of crime magnet. 

I only need my phone, beyond it doubling as my indoor accommodations computer, for external Gig Econ services about one hour in total over an entire month. My age verification for free transport is my main resource. Otherwise, my phone is brought out with me only exclusively for Google Translate in garoto de programa settings. Left secure in my accommodations for all other activities out and about; about 10% of that component set aside for planned structured photo taking, later aggregated into short video montage. It does make sense to use it as a camera prn as opposed to carting around a decent true camera; the phone is more easily concealed in an ankle holster in combo with a more overt dummy decoy phone that I consistently have on my person. If held up robbery on the spot, better to produce a crap no-sim phone and a decoy billfold, acrylic not Komodo dragon skin, with dummy cards and a few hundred reais , possibly my crap worn out Swatch, possibly a worn out Ultra groceteria bag with a change of clean cheap panties, than leaving the felon angrily empty-handed.
