Fortaleza

[buttercawan]

I am still in the city. Will be for the next few days before heading to Recife. 
 

I was here before pandemic and it seems that nothing much has changed. California is still the best venue for GPs. Didn’t go to Dragon (yet, maybe) and everyone still says it has few GPs. 
 

I can confirm that there is a 3rd venue with GP. Not a sauna but a cinema - Cine Vídeo Star. There are 3 hot GPs on a Tuesday around 2 pm.  Not sure there will be more or that’s it other times/days but it definite ranks better than Dragon. The place is clean enough for a cine. In fact I think it’s the cleanest one I seen in Brazil. 
There are motels next door for those who likes a proper bed and shower.

Entrance to the cine is R15. Next door Charm Motel price list

I like Cinemas thats where I had my 1st time getting sucked off by a guy. Can you tell us about the vibe at the Cinema and were the guys hot. Is it a cool place to be a voyuer ?

[buttercawan]

If you are in the city, just check it out. It’s only 15 reais. I only have a sample of couple hours but the guys are the GP sauna client types.  I saw the same guy who went to California there.  
 

Not sure the GPs are keen of getting watched getting on with a client unless money is involved.

Hi

We are going to visit Fortaleza from Oct. 28th - Nov. 5th. So thank you for your tips about sauna and cinema. Hope to have a good time there again (last time 2016 in Brazil)

Praia do Futuro

[Xclay]

Thanks for the Fortaleza update.

I'll be returning there in seven weeks, so good to know the sauna scene is unchanged -- and to get the tip on the cinema.

Other than the appealing blue skies and nice beach cafe, any significance to the Praia do Futuro photo?

[buttercawan]

I heard from some GPs that Dragon ‘busy’ nights are Sunday and Wednesday. So I went last night (Wednesday). Arrived around 4:30 pm and stayed till almost 6:00 pm.  Sadly there are only a handful of people there. Went I left, the 2 hot GPs from the cinema came in. Ubered to California, even on a slow Wednesday, California is still a few times busier than Dragon. 
 

Having said all these, the quality of the GPs in Fortaleza is not on par with SP or RJ, at least in the sauna. Maybe the really hot ones are online but I didn’t actually try.

[buttercawan]

Tonight is the busiest night in California (Thursday) and also a naked night. Hopefully I’ll see new faces … much hotter ones

[buttercawan]

A GP just message me that there will be a live sex show tonight at California 

[buttercawan]

Thursday is still the best night at California. The live sex show was alright. The bottom is kinda hot. Surprised they do bareback.

Conclusion : Will not in the hurry to come back to Fortaleza. Once every couple of years should be good enough. Leaving for Recife tomorrow. Hope it fares better.

Arrived in Fortaleza two days ago and needed a while to,get over the jet lag. Today we went to Dragon sauna at maybe 5:00 pm - not many guests there but a few GP‘s where already there.

A very nice muscled guy came up to us and with the help of translation via mobile phone he introduced himself as Bruno, coming from Maranho and now living in Fortaleza - it all led to some very nice fun in a suite at the dragon sauna.

We left the place at maybe 7:00 pm to walk back again to our hotel with a stop at one of the new barracas on the beachwalk - the new beachwalk (opened in may 2022) is a perfect surrounding for the city. In the evening it becomes very crowded and a lot of half naked cyclists and runners are nice eye candies…

maybe tomorrow we will visit California sauna…

CGN, con permiso, who is "we"?

Was the fun a 3some? Charge double 4 that?

[CGNfunguy1992]

Hi, 

„we“ is my husband and me and no, it was not a threesome (but we are open to that/happily together sins 31 years)

so today I went alone to California sauna and arrived there at 5:00 p.m. . Started slow with a few GP‘s and some guests. Place wasn‘t my cup of tea because I am more into smooth muscular types - but all of the guys we’re very friendly..

left at 7:30 p.m. for dinner at barraca ilha boteco ( not gay, but close to the beachfront)

Is this a regular movie house with a big viewing room or a video cabins place?

[CGNfunguy1992]

Visited Dragon Sauna today again and arrived there at around 06:00 p.m. by surprise it was quite crowded today and they started a karioke show for the evening. There were maybe 30-40 guests in the sauna and also 6-7 GP‘s… The atmosphere was very friendly and on the first floor in the steam room and sauna lots of action was going on…

We will leave Fortaleza on Tuesday to go to Salvador…

[Xclay]

So Dragon Sauna -- which is usually nearly empty according to numerous reports -- was actually quite busy on a Sunday afternoon (around 6pm)?!  That is big news.  Did you happen to hear about any other times when it is popular? 

Second question: You also went to Dragon on a Monday (guessing from your earlier post) at 5pm and there were "already a few GPs there." So, 4 or 5 GPs?

Last question please: For at least a period of time a year or two ago, Dragon Sauna was requiring fingerprints for entry! Were fingerprints still demanded? 

[CGNfunguy1992]

Hi, Xclay

don‘t know about the other days - think we went to early (around 04:00-05:00 p.m.) left to early (mostly at 07:00 p.m.).

I never wrote about a Monday - the Sauna is open from Wednesday till Sunday…

And yes, the fingerprint system is still active - but not together with personal data (only first name)

[Xclay]

Thanks!

Maybe I'll try Dragon again when I'm in Fortaleza in December.

Okay, back in Fortaleza.

So far, a few days in - California is still the garoto central, though crumbling even more as before. In one suite, I almost laughed during sex when I saw above me a ceiling that clearly fell off in two or three spots since I was in that suite last a year ago. I have to say garoto-wise, it's also slower than it was a year ago - however, there is a great defined guy from Goias who promises to save this trip for me. Initially, I thought he was arrogant as he never responded to my hinted advances - but then I found out he's just super-timid, plus I'm a foreigner. He told me he thought I'm Finnish as I look like someone from Finland - for the record, I don't look like Finnish at all, but I suspect the only foreigner he met before was from Finland.

Interestingly enough, there was a very decent night at Dragon last night (on Saturday). There was a live bareback sex show with two local porn stars, but there was a decent crowd and I think there was a wider and better selection of garotos than at California. First I was at California where I hooked up with the Goias guy, then moved on to Dragon and I thought it was better. I hooked with another guy and could have done with more guys there - but then got involved in the live sex show which then continued to the cabins with the full-on orgy. 

The price is still 100. The guy from Dragon said, "oh you are gringo, so for gringos it's 200". I said, cut the gringo shit, it's 100 here. He said, 150. I said, maybe mais tarde. He immediately said 100 and was super-happy during the session and afterwards, and we talked more later in the bar, so 100 is the market rate.

By the way, is there a member of this board currently in Fortaleza? I think I saw someone at California that I saw quite a few times before in Rio, mostly at 202? If he is on this board, well-done with the choice of the guy I saw you today with at the beach at the Orbita Blue beach club - that's a sweet guy I saw at California for a few years and thought, if he gained some muscle he would be a great looker, and I see that finally he did, so you caught him at the exactly right time lol.

 

[Xclay]

Thanks for the Fortaleza update.
I'll be there December 14-24 and now I'm eager to try Dragon since you (and previously CGNfunguy1992) say it has more action these days -- as well as return to California, rundown as it may be.

The jury is still out on Dragon though - I've been only that one time within a week, and never been back, so not sure whether it was quite active because of the special show, or whether it finally got some success after all these years - I really don't know.

With the much discussed notion here that Brazilian saunas are slowly dying, Fortaleza is exhibit A. California was fantastic garoto-wise 8-10 years ago, it is a shadow of those times now. There are still some good guys, but honestly if not for that star guy from Goias my week there would have been slim pickings. And he will be gone soon - he told me he doesn't like Fortaleza (he's been for 2 months here now), and he'd been to Rio and Sao Paolo each once before and said those are too chaotic and huge for him, so he will be going back to Goiania. He's incredible though - I'm getting a programa with him every night, he's incredibly athletic with a smiley face and obviously very straight, but a job is a job is a job, and yesterday he told me in a suite: we met a few times already, and I'm very grateful, so if you want you can fuck me now (which I did - an incredible experience with a model-like straight hunk) - when afterwards I gave him 120 instead of 100, he attempted to chase me across the sauna trying discreetly to give me back 20, saying "this is too much, you didn't have to do that". So in short Xclay, enjoy these times while they still exist, because in some not too distant future they won't anymore.

Buttercawan made me want to investigate Fortaleza’s Video Star, and, while I was at it, other nearby cinemas. So, last Thursday afternoon, I explored the hard-core, cruisy cinemas mostly clustered just south of Centro, the old business district.  

For some reason, Fortaleza seems to have more such cinemas (9) than I can find (using Google) in either Rio or SP. All are cheap and about as seedy as you would expect.

Curiously, they all have the narrowest turnstiles I’ve ever seen in my life. Turning sideways, I managed to squeeze through.

Video Star was indeed the best or least bad. (Entrada=R$15)  It has a large movie room and two smaller ones, along with a labyrinth and a few dark rooms. About 12-15 men. Three GPs were hustling. None were from saunas. Two were OK. Played around with one for five min (R$50).

Two months ago Buttercawan also saw three GPs, but described them all as hot. When I visited, I’d not describe any of my three as hot, but two were OK.

Cine Arena (R$10) might be wild when people get off work, although at 2:30 it only had three customers and no GPs. It’s very dark with many cubicles and little rooms with videos, including a big upstairs area that is easy to miss. If I were to return after 5:30 another day, out of curiosity I might check out Arena along with Video Star (three short blocks away).

Cine Privê (R$8) was hidden away in a nook offset from the sidewalk. You enter a room showing regular TV shows. An inconspicuous door hides the entrance to the maze of video rooms. Only one older guy was lurking around, not counting me. I’m guessing this place also has much more action later in the day.

Going downscale even more… Cine Iris (R$7) had three small, old video rooms down a hallway behind a narrow entrance off the street. Four pensioners were loitering around. In one room, a skinny, shirtless, pockmarked guy stroked with his pants down to his knees, waiting to be serviced. (GP? IDK) Rooms were fairly open-air which reduced the stench.  

At Cine Secret (R$10) I descended into the worst of all: two filthy, claustrophobic rooms reeking of urine were each inhabited by a quite frightening, morbidly obese bloke. I cannot tell you if they were twins because I ran out for fresh air. Sadly, trauma counseling was not included in the entrance fee.

Cine Majestick was permanently closed, but, after Cine Secret, I had hit my limit, really needed a shower, and fled without investigating Cine House, VIP Cine Club, or Cine Janga.

Thermas Califórnia will be closed tomorrow (Dec 24). Not sure about Dragon. So I may return to Video Star.
