Fortaleza

@Xclay Well, if you are willing to pay to play, then it’s considered ‘hot’.  But yeah, the ones I saw were at least sauna ‘hot’.  I think they were visiting GPs from other city that also goes to Sauna Dragon.

Today, Dec 24, both California and Dragon were closed. So, after a long walk along the peaceful Praia do Meireles, I went to see if anything was happening at Cine Vídeo Star.

Once again three GPs (different from the three last week) were in residence at about 3:30.  None were payment-worthy to me but all three seemed like sweet, healthy guys, affectionate even, unlike the rough, dicey characters who sometimes work such places. I started to leave and in walked a handsome, fit, 6'1", stunner I'd seen at California. He flashed a sexy smile. He knew he'd be the king of the hill, so he hugged me, and took my hand to go to a little room where he could lock the door. He stripped and enthusiastic hijinks ensued.

Later, since I was in the neighborhood, I stopped by nearby Cine Arena (see my post above). Only one man (early 30s, not bad looking) was there. He wanted to play, but I thought he might be a GP and I hate unexpected bills. He was not, so free hijinks ensued.

Nice afternoon, following by a two-hour walk back to my hotel by the Praia do Meireles.

Love Fortaleza.
Onward to São Paulo tomorrow.

In Rio, both 202 and 117 are closed as well today (24th). Only Sexy Rose and Seven Cruising seems open until evening. At least 202 will be open tomorrow. 117 closed for 3 days from 23rd.

To wrap up my nine days in Fortaleza...

I like to keep Fortaleza in rotation more often and longer than do some of the excellent recent posters in this thread.

I like variety and do not need a large selection of GPs from a specific niche (e.g., minimum inches, height, skin shade, BMI, musculature). If you do, like most of my friends, that’s totally cool!

I’d been with different physical types (except emaciated) over the past week here and only once failed to screen out someone who would not have great chemistry behind closed doors. I find more than enough here who are personally warm and physically hot who aim to please and do. 

Outside of the sauna, I really enjoy the city, especially the Praia do Meireles area. It is maybe my favorite urban beach in Brazil. In sharp contrast to Rio, it is not crowded and not loud. The beach cafes play music softly, not deafening as on Copacabana. Even the people seem more sedate and tranquil than the RIo mobs. I can walk for hours without anybody asking for money or selling things.  Overall, it is far more peaceful and chill.

Rio will always be special, but I like the calm of the Meireles urban beach. And if the surf does indeed release all those calming ions, as many claim, the setting here gives those ions a chance to work their relaxing magic.

Arrived from sunny Fortaleza (with only a 15% daily chance of rain) to São Paulo (where the daily chance of rain is 65% in late December). My view of Praia do Meireles every day versus my morning view today of this mess in SP a block away from my hotel which had its own tributary of the Amazon in front of it.
 

Also, especially from 6 to 7:30 every morning along those sidewalks and running tracks in the Fortaleza photo on the left was a steady stream of runners with some very handsome eye candy. Many runners were so attractive that typically five or six photographers would shamelessly sit right by the track.

One afternoon coming down an escalator at a big Fortaleza shopping center I did a double take when I saw this large 5' advert: "The best gift for an icon." Then, out of curiosity, I stood around where I could unobtrusively see if anybody else needed to "process" the pic. Sure enough, at least half the men turned their head a bit as they walked past and two did almost comical double takes.

And my last pics on behalf of the Fortaleza Chamber of Commerce...

The not so obvious entrance to Dragon which Uber drivers often miss.

Some more pics of Dragon (still in need of GPs to match the impressive, spacious facility).

Plus less elegant but much more popular California Thermis Club:

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. 

That’s the Secret nobody can get to the bottom of.
