I sat at a table tonight with @Lucky, talking to some locals...they brought up boys are asking for more from foreigners for more, because they pay it....ruining it for them....something I've preached here since the board started. When is the last time you've been here....if you follow Thailand boards, you'll see @vinapu ran into something similar on his last trip. You always respond with lot's of maybe's....usually with looks or something like that....you must be a God yet going to GP saunas 😄 I dont have any problems in the saunas OR on the apps Again, you are complaining about literal dollars... Rates change and fluctuate based on how popular one of the guys is...always has, always will be... The beauty is there are TONS of options and different rates If Brazil if too expensive for you, go to Thailand, the Baht to Dollar is incredible so you can find something thats within your budget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babybear2 Posted October 26 Share Posted October 26 I am in Rio this week. In terms of pricing, it did not change much, I only offer 150 or 200 if they are hot. All accepted my offer. What I do not like is the quality, pretty meh. Maybe October is a slow season or Onlyfans stuff. I only find 2 - 3 guys to my taste even on Tuesday & Wed. Of those 2 - 3 guys, they are not new faces either. The sauna really need to start recruiting better guys, and try exempt the entry price for garotos if they score a client, this might motivate more guys to work there. Besides, I find the peak hour at 202/117 has changed. Previously, it gets crowed around 6pm on Tuesday/Wed, now the house is relatively empty until 7pm, it starts to get busy.

Connordrick Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 Hi everyone. I’m back and finally recuperating from my quad repair surgery. I'm only halfway through my recovery, but I've booked a trip to Rio. I’ll be going the week of the 10th and returning a couple of days before Thanksgiving. I want to give Rio another chance, plus I really need some sun and warmth after resting for the past four months. I will write my usual report. I'm unsure whether to start a new thread or continue in my "Brazil for Newbies" thread. Please let me know your preference. I would be more than happy to share my experience, as thanks to this forum, I had an amazing time and better sex than in my past 40+ years. As much as I love São Paulo, I realized that with such a short amount of time, I should focus on one place. Since I really needed some fresh air, I decided to try Rio and start as a newbie. Finding a hotel on short notice wasn't easy, but I'm glad there's a nonstop flight from NYC to Rio, which also has the best timing. I’ll arrive in Rio around 10:30 AM, unlike other flights with connections that land at midnight or 6 AM. I honestly can’t understand how people managed without direct flights! Any suggestions would be appreciated. I’ll skip talking about the old times with supermodels GP and how dangerous Brazil can be—there’s not much I can do about that, except to be careful. I have a Brazilian phone and a SIM card that I’ll use, and I plan to Uber everywhere. I'm looking for recommendations for a club or bar that attracts a younger, attractive crowd. I believe Le Boy is one such place? I want to explore the younger gay scene in Rio. In São Paulo, it was easy to find clubs and bars with a younger audience where I could enjoy some eye candy and maybe buy a drink for a few hot guys I found that the hot guys in Brazil are way nicer to me than any other place. or maybe I was just lucky.

Nothing good happens after midnight, especially in Brasil.....I bring trusted guys back to my room if I want to stay up and enjoy the night. Thanks. Floridarob. I agree that nothing good happens, late at night, mostly because my older self is already tired by then after the gp used my body for pleasure 😛. That’s why I sometimes go to a bar to sit and relax until I feel it’s time to head back to my hotel, grab an Uber, and rest until noon the next day. That’s my usual routine in São Paulo, where there’s not much to do before 2 p.m. except eat and shop. But since this is Rio, I might hit the beach earlier. There’s a wonderful restaurant in Ipanema that makes the best pork sandwich on the planet, and last time, I even found a great group of those that run the spots and rent the chair and umbrella at the beach who treated me like royalty and were very welcoming. I keep going to their spot near the gay beach, which I think is at Post 9. And since i ve been a loner all my life i always know to bring a waterproof pouch/bag to bring my belongings with me when taking a dip. A short one since i am not a waves expert In São Paulo, I went to most of the bars and clubs, with and without table service, and had a great time. I was treated so well there too. In Rio, I went to Club Taurus, which was wild, but after a couple of hours, I was ready for a change of pace. I hope to find a nice lounge-type bar this time to unwind after a day of beach and shopping Latbear4blk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of fun depends on your own body and luck Yes, I went to both 117 and 202, and I’m still figuring out which one I prefer. I just wish they were newer, with better rooms. I read that some people on the forum aren’t fans of the new Lagoa building in São Paulo, but since I didn’t know the old one, I like Thermas setup a lot. It has a nice setup compared to the ones in Rio, especially with the newer rooms and a very nice bar area. I also went to Rio G Sauna, but I didn’t like it there—it’s just not my type of place; it was empty, and the space was so narrow and hard to move around. Taurus, on the other hand, was a lot of fun, though exhausting. It was one of the few places where I had a good time without needing to pay; I don’t exactly have the body (i am a chub) or the usual luck to score in places like that, but Taurus was a blast. I visited a few other places, but I’ll revisit them and report back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easy to get carried away with the many temptations of Rio, so be super careful if you are only halfway through recovery of your quad surgery, so many complications can arise!

Connordrick Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 thanks @Xclay i found this page with a lot of places that I haven't heard anyone mention before: https://latenightcruisin.com/parties/parties-2024/latin-america/rio-de-janeiro/ I'm creating an agenda for my trip, as my main focus will be on visiting gay-friendly (GP) places, and non-GP options, and enjoying some beach time. In addition to the locations that some of us have mentioned before, which I've previously visited—like Taurus Bar https://youtu.be/LJqMLWSFRCk and SevenBar https://www.sevencruisingbar.com.br/festa, both of which I enjoyed—I found There are some new places to check it out. I will explore. Most of these are not GP, but I want to check them out since my time at GP venues is limited. They are active only for 5 to 8 Some of these locations may be closed, but I will provide updates on my experiences when I return. SAUNA CHUPPS CLUB at REZENDE STREET, 28 – LAPA (RIO DE JANEIRO) ( this one is intriguing) @saunacarioca NAME: ABERTO TODOS OS DIAS OCCURRENCE: SUNDAY (DOMINGO)TIME: 15H-22H (3PM-10PM) VENUE: SAUNA CARIOCA ADDRESS: RUA BARAO DE GUARATIBA, 20-CATETE (RJ) since I am working from home and while I check all this places, I will start the Rio de Janeiro for newbies and adventourse over 50 and no attitude but to have good time. I haven't touched a guy since April so I am starving 😛 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been encouraging me, in a friendly and educational way, to avoid seeking out Garoto's and instead focus on meeting guys through them and at various social events we'll attend. However, I plan to visit a sauna on the days I have free to explore on my own. Based on my past experiences in the Sauna, I am sure to meet someone there that I connect with, and if the situation feels right and the price is reasonable, I'd be open to it. But if I don't feel a genuine connection, no matter the cost, I wouldn't be interested. Besides, I don't think about the ones that got away. I also want to add that I think we all tend to judge guys based on our initial impressions and estimated price range. As we talk and get to know them better, that initial extimate can change, similar to how our perceptions can shift when chatting with guys online. Personally, I know quickly if I'm interested in someone based on just a couple pictures. If either of us require more pictures... Well that borders on persuasion, it feels more like a sales pitch and probably neither of us is as interested in the connecton as much we pretend to be. So when it comes to Garoto's. If it was to be, it will be. If you can't connect because of $$, then move to the next guy. If they were worth crying over, then they are worth paying extra for. That is my opinion anyway.... Unrelated question, do you mind sharing how you make friends in Brazil? I assumes these friends are not guys working in Sauna. Do you speak good Portuguese?

bucknaway Posted Thursday at 11:29 PM Share Posted Thursday at 11:29 PM I don't speak any Portuguese. Most of the guys who have become my friends I have met through Romeo or grinder. Yes we have had sex but it turned into something more then a sexual relationship. If I feel a vibe with them and I think they are feeling a vibe with me I just tried to see them again and again and see if it turns into a friendship. But if money is involved with each time then it's not much of a friendship. In Sao Paulo I have become friends with a guy I met from Viva Loca. If he takes off work and spends the whole day with me I compensate him. We also talked throughout the year. I'm very picky with my friendships so they don't come easy babybear2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucknaway Posted Thursday at 11:33 PM Share Posted Thursday at 11:33 PM Oh also add that I tried to cultivate a friendship with a guy I met from fatal model. It started out okay but I made the mistake on my second visits giving him a cell phone that I replaced with a newer model. That shifted the dynamic of our friendship to the point that he became needy and always dropped hints of things he needed or wanted. I ended the friendship and now even after 2 years he is still message me on every single app available to try to reestablish our friendship.
