After coming here for the past 15 years I am still like a kid in a Candy Store!! and it is great!

Arrived in Porto Alegre Friday at 3.30 after missing my connecting flight from SP to Porto alegre by 5 'mins.! Being nice to the people at the counter that handles chg of flights pays off! got to meszzino ar 5:15 the night was slow with maybe 15 guys working and about the same number of customers. Within a few minutes 4 of the guys were sitting at my table under the gkare of some of those same customers! Lol. I have gottem used to it and if they dont want to spend money they shouldnt complain... but thats for another discussion! Roy the owner of Mezzinio came over to talk and tokd me 15th is their 9th anniversary party and i was there by chance when they opened 9 years ago so,. i am thinking of buying a ticket to fly down for saturday nights party! i ended up with three of the guys and then went to Bar mixx and met 2 cousins one who i knew and the other a very cute twink who was there for the first time! We went to a back room and had a great time and i got back to the hotel at 12:30 where a guy i have known for 3 years was waiting and he spent the night! I just got back from mezziniu now and heading to bar mixx as their is a big party plan for the owners birthday and he invited me and i can't turn down a invitation like that! Btw Mezziniu was very busy tonight! Sat is their. Night i was told and Sunday their 2nd best!

If you see someone you like wave them over to your table to use a old phrase "you snooze you lose"! I Have several friends that are a little on the shy side and then see a guy they like and by the time you get enough Courage to ask him out he was gone with someone else! If he's cute grab him otherwise someone like me will. .-)

Now that mgt is back under Junior i fear things will get worse not better! I have already heard that 1/2 the staff is leaving wgeh they gound out he took over today! OZ, yes MM is doing well for them and they intend to focus on that. Acyr is sctually in miami right now and in 2 weeks staying with me in SoCal for a few days!

Acyr and Jorge the owners of Meo Mundo are giving up their lease on Pointe 202 and Junior will resume running it. He said with the bad economy there just isn't enough business to make it financially viable to them as they were paying Junior a high monthly payment

I have been to Brazil more then 75 times since 2001, visited the saunas every day i have been there without exception(i am here right now) and i have never got anything including a cold! Just saying

It is called independence park

While not a expert on sauna boy lube preferences, but having toppped quite a few, they have always used the lube that was available at the sauna and Thumper i think i remember the situation you had re: the desensitising lube but that was the only time i am aware of and wasn't that like about 10+ Years ago?

No photoshop, just scribble line across the eyes as there was a issue last year with a guy objecting to his photos used here. As far as color thats just the way it looks there under their colord lights. That was taken and downloaded from my IPhone, glad you like it!

Thumper i have known him 13 years that is Fabio. and he ownes a pet shop/ pet grooming business.

For me almost every night after i leave the sauna around 9:30 or so we meet back at the apt to freshen up and head out for dinner which usually goes from around 10:30 to 12:30-1:00 am! Then its back to the apt since typically there are 4 to 6 of us! If it is a thurs/fri/sat night we might go to one of the clubs that open around midnight, this is what we did last trip! It was a club that moves to different locations depending on the night and was straight-but very gay friendly! We danced and drank! It was in Copa on Nossas Senhora about 2 blocks from Sierra Campos. Photo below was taken as we entered the club

Sorry if you are on a escort review site most people are coming for "those" kind of pics! Otherwise just google "images of rio" and you can get your fill of scenic shots of Rio!

2 studios "specialize" in sauna boys for filming many of their videos! They are Latinjocks(when i counted up a couple years ago i had been with 50 of their models, they have been around at least 10 years. The other one is Bangbangboys! The guys shown below i "know" and have all been in videos for one or the other studio, so since their photos are in the public domain already i will show some of those guys. Back to a previous posters question i have only had 2 guys ever refuse to have their photos taken out of....----'s! :-)

I am going back to Mexico in November after i get back from Brazil. I was there in February and really enjoyed myself! My good friend Floridarob lives there!(he got the name because he lived in Fla at the time and he was one of two Robs that we started hanging with in Rio in 2002). I am renting a entire house with pool new and updated for 100./day. I actually could have rented something even nicer and 20% cheaper but i like the location of this place, close to the bar restaurant/bar we like and the cruising park where i met actually a nice guy in the first 2 minutes in the park! It's a main square well lit and safe! It seems all the guys we met were either gay or really gay friendly! It's not Brazil but its also a lot shorter flight! i have been to resort areas in Mexico quite a bit over the years, Cabo, Porto Vallarta, Cancun, but this was the first time i went "HOing" in Mexico and it was great! I don't want to start another adnaseum discusion on pricing! But $20.U.S. Will get you a overnight, thats all i am saying! :-) Best cruing time seem to be from 5:00 to 10:00 pm but that is based on limited observaton on my part.

You can get as many condoms as you need at the desk or send the guy you are with down for more durng your session!

Just to be clear i wasn't referring to anyone's particular post when i wrote the above! I was replying to MY thoughts on the subject! I have come to realize that what if someone else ovetpays it doesnt effect me. For a number of years a older friend used to always pay 50%+ more then me and bring Nike shoes back for the guys. One night several of them were sitting at my table and were laughing about him and they said to me me "why is he so crazy that he overpays and brings presents back?" I was surprised by their reaction but they thought he was being crazy for doing it! They sure were not going to say no to him but they had a lower opinion of him as opposed to a higher opinion since he paid them more! And paying more does Not get you better sex with them! That is much more contingent on how you talk/treat them and being respectful! Just my 2 cents!

I will talk about paying the guys one last time! It seems this topic comes up every year. I do not pay rates higher then the norm! Anymore then i would pay L.A. Housing rates in say... Des Moines Iowa because i feel guilty that housing is so much cheaper there! One of the reasons i pay the going rate and not the "i feel guilty rate is 1) i had been told this in every sauna i have been in, in Brazil by the locals "Do Not overpay! It will wreck it for us!" Remember the locals are the majority of the business! If they stop going there, there will not be any saunas left for us to visit! I pay $100.R a session in a sauna. i know a couple guys very well who i have been seeing down there for a number of years who are true professionals! They work 5 sometimes 6 days a week at the saunas usually for more then the mandatory 3 hours!(all the saunas have work rules that if the guy wants to work there he has to stay a minimum of 3 hours from the time he arrives!) both these guys drive newer cars and live in nice condos, and make a better living then their peers! And they unlike their non sauna friends, are not working 8 hours a day but working in a air conditioned place in a towel for Two to 3 Hours at a time! The majority of the guys do it for a short period of time before the move on to "regular" employment! There are at least 10 of those guys i have known, who i see there on a social basis, and go to dinner with their wives who are now over 30! Having worked in the sauna is no big secret they are not embarassed or ashamed and usually their GFs or wives know about their employment there! Sex and sex workers do not have the social stigma in Brazil that it does in Western Civilization! I really don't care if foreigners want to pay more to make themselves feel better,. If they are happy giving away their money great! Just dont tell me what i should be paying and i won't tell you! :-)

One person's huge is another person's average! But if you are talking 8" to 9" I am sure you will find it at the saunas! This is no way a scientific study but it seems that the "leaner" or twinks will often have the bigger dicks! here are 2 from Meo Mundo

If you have a iphone get the app ISpeak Portuguese easy to use and you can have a conversation with the guy you want in a noisy sauna! Top or Bttm? Do you kiss Do you suck?How much to have you go to a room? TIP #1 - never accept the first offer they throw at you! They can pick out the newbies and the price will go up to double or triple what they normally charge! As far as finding big dicks... this is Brazil!!

It has been there for the 16 years that i have been going there! I have never used it but am told by friends who can't take guys back to their hotel it is a good, close, convienent alternative!

for the first 5 or 6 years of going to PA I would stay at either the Mercure Manhatten or the Mercure Beverly Hills, they are between 4 and 6 blocks from the Sheraton and are very adequate. Since I am only there for 2 or 3 nights and am only at the hotel to sleep they are fine, but the Sheraton has the best beds/rooms imho in PA, but their prices vary wildly depending on what business conference they are hosting since they have the 3rd and 4th floor conference areas and are attached to the mall. If they are $145./US night I will stay there, but many times they were asking $325.U.S. That is when I found the Quality, king size beds, good location, and usually around $80.US/ night.

The last 2 - 3 years i have stayed at the Quality Hotel, which is Diagonally across the park from the Sheraton!

JunNJ,. Probably my best experience in Brazil(we are talking over 1,000 here) was a non programma guy who the manager at Mezziniu knew the guy, and he needed to make some money that weekend! It was great! Thst was 3 years ago, he has now graduated from law school and is doing really well and yes we still see each other and stay in contact! So definitely go for it! This guy came to my hotel every visit as he didnt work the sauna.

One thing that really bugs me is guys who ask multiple questions on here before a trip and promise they will report on their experiences and they never do!! ...and they do it multiple times! One guy has met me in LA for dinner to ask questions, met me in Rio for dinner same thing, after multiple trips! Never writes after the trip onky before to get alI the info he can! I finally wised Up and blocked him! But i see he has asked about Thailand and then never wrote anything, has asked about Prague, same result! and now asked about Israel! He obviosly has the time to ask many questions but never has the time to help others! Ok that's my rant for the day! :-)
