I would second floridarob. Was at 555 last Saturday. Love the facilities. I really feel sorry for the owner who is trying hard to please clients, 2for1 entry, free snacks, strippers. But still not many clients as most clients are going for the boys, not the snacks or strippers. 555 is more difficult to reach on public transit than Lagoa. While Uber cost is trivial for many of us, it is not feasible for boys. For local clients who want to save 50 on the boys in 555, I imagine Uber cost would be a deterrent for them as well. My count was there were not many clients, but even fewer boys on-site for a heavily promoted Saturday. Perhaps the owner should focus more on attracting boys, clients will follow! Offering boys free entry for a couple days of the week for example to make a hot day for the club. I do miss the old Fragata Tuesday. great facilities and hard working owner and staff, I truly wish them success, but it doesn’t look very promising so far. Lagoa on the other hand, has been very busy and happening FR, SU and MO when I visited. I imagine Saturday must have been great as well. Lagoa now also has many old fragata boy next door type.

Others with more knowledge about the club pinned the best day as Sunday. If you are comfortable taking buses in Rio, then taking the supervia train would be a piece of cake for your trip going to the club in the afternoon, rio+ card works for the trains too. After dark, uber is the only way back. For the Sunday afternoon I went to the club, the train was quite full (an earlier scheduled train was cancelled), standing spaces only after a couple stops. thankfully not too packed. I did start from the central station. Also I walked the short distance from the station to the club as it's not fully dark yet outside. Quite deserted with some abandoned buildings along the way. A few photos attached so you have a feel of the road leading to the club and areas right outside the club. Not the safe approach perhaps. Quite busy for the Sunday I visited. Most people stay in street cloth. There is a sauna room, but a small number of clients and boys actually change to a towel for it. The door receptionist actually ask if you want a towel. You have to ask for a locker if you want one once you get to the main area upstairs. Most hang out at tables set out by the pool area. Some retreat in the disco area which has very dimmed lighting. I found 3 boys quite cute, two of them were quite content playing pool in the disco area for a long long time. I had to initiate conversation with them via google translate as they don't seem to try to meet your eyes at all. One of them is new to the club, he is at a loss with the "ativo passivo" inquiry, saying "I don't know those stuff, I don't even suck, ok?". The other is more familiar with the terms, but also balked at the suggestion of him giving a bj. Very straight boys 🙂 Their limits seem to be getting a bj and fucking some ass. The 3rd boy was grabbed by some regular, like in Porto Alegre, they would sit at a table with drinks chatting for hours. Since I don't particularly fancy sucking or getting boned by a straight boy, left without action after a couple hours before 8pm. Returning uber cost 60 reals. How I envy my bottom friends. I remember on my 2019 December trip, one of them went to a room with his 5th boy of the night on his last night in 202 with big smile on his face! Thank god women are not a major hiring force for boys, or we wouldn't have any good ones left.

I personally didn't feel any difference walking to Metro around 8pm in Centro (Meio Mundo) or Gloria (117). Stayed in two different hotels in Copacabana, both within 15 minutes or so walking distance to 202 from opposite sides, walking back to hotel around 8 or 9pm felt perfectly safe too. A lot of people are still out having dinner or cheering for their football team. Morning walks on the beach around 6:30 or 7 felt just fine as well. No problem at all during the day in Centro, Gloria or Copacabana. Business as usual other than face masks pretty much. Condolences to anyone who experienced any violence in Brazil, I understand one incident could traumatize someone for a long long time. So far so good for me.

Negotiation is not really about the price, who cares about the 50 or 100 extra. More importantly, if the boy knows you are clueless about the price, he probably assumes you are also clueless of what boys normally do in the room. I always chat with the boy via google translate to get a feel of the boy. Those who don't like to chat, just want to go straight to the room I would avoid. In the early years without a cell plan nor wifi, I would go to the room with a boy without mutual agreement of what we would do, often ended up with the boy insists on giving head with condom and just want to get it over with quickly. I have learned not to rush or be rushed, and not be shy about discussing expectations openly. Also, when you find a boy you like, don't hesitate and wait, go after him and make future plans right after if you like your time together. You are only visiting for a couple weeks, might never run into him again. If your home mobile plan doesn't work in Brazil, do get a local sim for using google translate, maps and uber, a must have for a great trip.

Flying copa airline economy with a stop over in Panama city, packed every leg to and from. Plane ticket was cheap (550US$), late September is low season. Forfeiting the plane ticket is really the least of my worries. If tested positive, I was prepared to hunker down for a month working remotely from Brazil waiting for it to clear. I was fully vaccinated not until late July, and am in decent shape, therefore not too worried about getting very sick with covid. Have to admit, it was a relief checking the hospital website and saw the negative result😇.

You must show negative test result or you have recovered from covid (tested positive at least certain number of days ago), otherwise you won't be allowed to board for Canada at GIG. The airline staff will verify your test results before letting you board. Customs don't really care about the paper. On M, W and F at 202, it feels like similar number of boys as before, but less clients. So boys are all eager for business. I think life is tougher for the boys now. Certainly old folks (most clients) are more concerned about covid than the working boys.

1. PCR tests For Canadians visiting Brazil, PCR tests are required both for flying into Brazil and back to Canada. It's annoying that you have to add these into your trip plan. The GIG airport PCR testing is very organized and results are available in 4 hours (3 for my experience). Cost is 315 reals. They will help you print a copy as well at the GIG basement level where you do the test. The fee is insignificant comparing to the hassle that you have to plan it and the uncertainty that one might test positive. 2. VIP lounges Very disappointing, GIG VIP lounges are closed to priority club or lounge pass users. only business class travellers. At Panama city, lounges are all open with reduced food options, much better. 3. Entry forms online before boarding You need to fill in corresponding government forms before you can board the flight. So if you didn't go through the counter (used web-checkin) and didn't find the form yourself online, make sure you ask staff for the link before boarding time. I had to scramble to fill in the Brazilian form in order to board with just a few minutes to spare before they closed the boarding gate. 4. hotels other than you are expected to put on a plastic glove when fetching food, not much changed. One hotel I stayed in will do cleaning only on demand, which actually works better for me. Copacabana Hotels are in high demand on weekends. Even though it's cold and rainy for most of the last 2 weeks I was there. 5. 202 Lot of boys. Notably few foreign tourists. None of my favourites from 2019 trips still work there😒. However, did find two new boys I like, which is very good. One 19yo slim white twink boy who just started working in 202 a few months ago. Very much my type. One Colombian boy in his early 20swho had been touring in Europe. Mostly top, huge cock, but very service oriented oral wise, swallows with a smile on his face, totally made up for the fact that he doesn't bottom. As a bonus, Matteo from meninosonline was in Rio, I connected with him on grindr. Fluent English, very friendly and educated boy, a rare find. So over all, very good hit rate for week1. For Matteo, I even cancelled my plans to hit Sao Paulo for week#2 since Fragata is no longer functioning (tears). Sadly after meeting Matteo twice in week#1, he went to Arraial do Cabo for diving when I tried to connect with him again on weekends#2, and I missed my chance meeting him again for the rest of my trip. The slim white 19 old lived quite far. He is fun when I run into him in 202, but not responsive on Instagram or whatsapp for meet ups outside the sauna. So unfortunately the last two weekends were quite boring (and raining). 6. 117 Very busy on Tuesday week#2 when I visited. But as usual, mostly muscular type. The slim twink types are rare, the few there were not really my type. Went with a tall white boy, ok session, I much prefer the 202 friendliness. So didn't go back on Tuesday week#3 when it's raining. 7. New Meio Mundo Haven't been back for years. A Brazilian friend said it's decent on Monday and Tuesdays. So went on Monday week#2. Like the old location, small space, facilities not up to the standard. Didn't find any boy to my taste. 8. Sauna prices No change from 2019 even though Real has gone down a lot. 150 in 202 and 200 in 117 for a non Portuguese speaker. They tempted to ask for 200 and 300 respectively, but quickly agree to the old price when I countered. 9. Bangu The trip going there on the train and back on uber are just as interesting as the time I spent in the club. If you don't speak Portuguese, and sucking straight cock doesn't particularly trigger your fancy, than it's not worth the efforts getting there. Unlike in 202 where many straight boys go all the way for money, straight boys in bangu club won't even suck you cock. A couple of them are very boy next door cute though. Bottoms fancying straight boys might love it😉 10. Uber I really start to appreciate the app since I first tried it in 2019 in Rio. The true convenience of it is the elimination of language barrier. You can order a drive or a meal without saying a single word! Also much cheaper, my 1am uber from GIG to Copacabana cost just 70 reals. If you are not familiar with the GIG setup, after exit customs, just go up one floor to the departure level, you will see uber signs above a couple doors. Bonus, you don't need cell plan for this trip! Use airport wifi to order the uber, wait until the app shows you the car has arrived. You need to walk out to the island in the middle of the road, your uber would wait there instead of stopping by the door. No wonder the taxi booths after customs all disappeared, uber drove them out of business. 11. cell plan I usually go with Claro, which is running a promotion of 30Reals for 30 days with 12GB data. I asked the slim white twink from 202 to activate the sim for me. In return, I saw him twice and bought him Sushi. I usually add credit with cash in one of the Americana stores. 12. Overall feeling of life during covid in Rio (beaches, streets, restaurants, stores, buses, trains, metro) Other than wearing face masks in stores, buses and metro, half the people wear face masks on the beach (pity), it's like covid is not a thing at all. Certainly feels like that in the sauna, almost no boys wear face masks. Sex not any less intimate than pre-covid years. Overall, a welcoming relief from life in Canada where now and then some drama queens got scared shitless, complaining people get too close from them in grocery stores. And no sex encounter for almost 2 years 😞 conclusions, had a great time, can't wait for the governments to scrap the covid entry test requirements to travel more.

Vow! Lucky Americans! google fi rocks! I would have picked that if I live in USA. Of course, no chance it will be allowed to operate in Canada. It will drive all local mobile providers out of business! The cheapest Brazil data add-on from Canadian providers I can find is 80$ for 8 days with 1GB allowance 🤬

Without Brazilian ID, activating a prepaid sim through the official telecom store is a very painful and time consuming experience. Not surprising, since for a visitor that is going to stay in Brazil for only a couple weeks, they are really not making any money off you. The easiest way I found is to buy a prepaid sim in the kiosks (the many small mobile stores selling magazines and small things, 1 street in from the beach along Copacabana). Almost all of them have prepaid sim from various providers. The last time I was there in 2019, you can get prepaid sim including 1 gig data for 1 week cost 20R. To activate it, I tip a boy in the sauna so that he helped me activating it using his id and personal info. Recharge is easy, can be done in most supermarkets with cash, was 10R for each additional week (1 gig data).

Anyone care to comment on the boy attendance for Saturday and Sunday? Monday, December 30. Last Monday before New year's. Arrived 5:30. This is the most at/over capacity as I have seen in 202! Wonder where Alessandria went? She was a calm anchor for the place. The boy and the old guy manning the front desk seem overwhelmed at times. And neither of them has a good command of English. Junior had to help out at times as lines form at the check-in. A lot of (too many?) customers. The first time I see quite a few young good looking customers that I would have mistaken as boys. The locker room becomes a little unbearable. Especially when some old queen shaking his feathers at someone invading his space when he changes A lot of boys stream in after 6:30. It's especially nice to see some first timers who had to ask where he should go change. But I would guess there are more customers than boys from the inflow after 6. Why would many boys arrive so late? I have moved to a hotel in the North zone to avoid the Christmas price around Copacabana. So I want to check out by 8. The Arabic looking boy came asking me to go with him a couple times already. Unlike the lover boy I lost, he can't carry a conversation on Google translate. His main attraction is his physical attributes: exotic looks and a huge dick. I feel quite sorry for the boy as he still hasn't scored since I arrived. By 7, I decided to have a repeat with him as he came back the 3rd time. Had to wait 15 minutes for the room, the boy then asks for a new year's bonus while we waited. I hate to ruin the mood for my last night, so agreed to some extra. Sex is fine, but there is no emotional connection. Honestly if I still stay in Copacabana, I would come later and likely would have gone with a new boy tonight. There it ends. This is a rather disappointing trip boy-wise for me. I think I am still mourning the loss of my lover boy. So many rooms in 202 remind me of him It's rare for me to find a boy where there are both physical and emotional connection. A boy I want to cuddle all night long. I suppose wonderful moments usually don't come easily or last long. Enjoy yours to the fullest while you have them!

Had two tours for Saturday and Sunday. So no sauna reports. One tip for boat tours: Dec 24, Angra Dos Reis, wonderful, bus only 1/4 full. Can swim off boat directly. Good drinks. A lot of English speakers. English guide. Highly recommended. Dec 29, Arrial do Cabo, shouldn't have booked. Super crowded, bus/boats at full capacity. Long drive (traffic), long walk to boat pier under hot sun, long wait to pay a fee in line, few English speakers, no English guide on boat, to swim you have to put on life vest and get in life boat to go to the beach, then get back to boat the same way. Except the last stop where you can jump right off the boat. I honestly wished I didn't book this. Left hotel at 7:45, guest pickup finished at 9. Won't be back until 10:30 at night.

Friday 27th, 202: very good! A lot of boys! Nights like this is why I came to Rio 3 times in 2019. Although the last two are mostly motivated by my 6-peat lover boy who has now quit the trade 2 new faces I would be happy to go with. 1 old favourite from October trip. What a difference a couple days made! Perhaps Christmas day is really a big day here, boys avoid sauna out of respect? Made eye contact with the tall Arab looking dark skinned slim boy. I find him cute and exotic. No innocence or warm smile like my lover boy, but intriguing enough. He always flashes his monster cock and on Monday I hesitated on him thinking he must be a top. Turns out he is a pretty good bottom. For a boy with a monster cock, he can't deep throat a medium Asian size cock but he gave head better than the white twink I have been with twice. As he is on all fours sucking, it just happens his ass is on full display in the mirror. Being a slim boy, I can see his hole gaping a little. A good sign he didn't lie about he can take a pounding. Good session, but no emotional connection which is what makes me really fall for a boy. M, W, F are free room day at 202. I made 4 of them this trip. Wednesday Christmas day bombed. But the other 3 are pretty good. I was thinking about skipping saunas all together Saturday and Sunday. Now maybe I will come back tomorrow.

Sauna wise, late December is not the best time to visit! One fellow traveller I met, God bless the bottoms, who had great time arrived a week earlier, said this year feels slower. But he manage to have 4 boys a night anyways Thursday 19th, 202: slow. Had a bad experience with a slim white boy I had avoided for the past year. Friday 20th, 202: good. A cute slim white twink I never seen before. Turns out he was touring Europe. Small world, one of his Instagram friend was one of my old favorite from Lagoa. Good looking, but so so in bed. Saturday 21st, 117: slow. None triggered my fancy. Few new faces. My favourite from last year has grown out of my fancy zone No hit. Monday 23rd, 202: busy. Several cute new faces. Caved in after the twink from Friday kissing and snuggling me into a repeat. A little better in head and rimming, still no where close to my favorites. Wednesday 25th, 202: bad. Full of customers, but only a handful of boys. Any cutie would have made a killing, but I guess boys have holidays as well. Friday 27th, Going to 202 again tonight. Hopefully it will be a good night? My bottom friend left after 23rd. According to him, all bad after Christmas. Fingers crossed. So far, this has been more of a normal tourist trip. Boat tours to Angra Dos Reis, hiking to telegrafo make up for the sex blues.

Last December I split up my December two weeks Christmas break between Rio and Sao Paulo. Had such a wonderful time, I returned to Brazil twice in 2019 before this current Christmas break. As they say, nothing last forever Last December, met one black jock former soldier boy with beautiful blue eyes in 202. For his build and total straight looks, I was blown away as the boy looked up now and then with those luxurious blue eyes and naughty smiles during the long dedicated blow job. And he took a pounding with a few whimpering moans and occasionally smiles. He lives very far, had a full time job and only worked on Mondays. So I was quite sad when he said he couldn't see me again on that trip. But I enjoyed very much looking through his Instagram photos. Now he works sauna everyday, a little tummy replaced his six packs, more importantly the bj is without energy and he can't even take my cock to the happy ending I also met a brown boy in 117 last December. Slim, boyish, just turned 18 in November. Not a bottom, not gay with many girlfriends, but kisses and rims with the sweetness and eager of a teenager. Even swallowed with proud smiles of mission accomplished I had a 3peat with him, including an overnight. However, he has been very dedicated to bulk up to the norm of 117 muscle boys. Now he proudly show off his big arms and chest on Instagram, but his face also beef up I hope he is more popular now, but I didn't initiate contact in 117 last Saturday. This June, I found a new boy in 202 that topped all boys I have been with. I am into slim boy next door type, especially if they look well educated. This boy is 22, dark skin, green eyes, looking barely legal with his babyface, but already married with a 2 year old boy! Several fellow friends I met in 202 all agree the boy looks very cute and innocent. Although they are all into muscular tops so not interested in him. Great for me, less competition. And when the boy smiles, it lights up the room He is also new to the sauna, a recent college drop out, his trans sister in law introduced him to 202 knowing he is strap for money. His beautiful wife also encouraged him to try it out while she also escorts. Brazil wonder, I don't know what to say Being a straight boy new to gay sex, he can't deep throat, can't get fucked too hard or too long, but he easily becomes my #1 favorite of the past 7 years with his devoted efforts. Sucking, licking, rimming with a boner pointing to the ceiling. And the tenderness I felt from the hugging and kissing and the few words we manage to share in the room. I was a little disappointed he did not own a cell phone and won't make hotel stays. But after a 3-peat on all 3 nights he was there. I was smitten. Another 3peat in my October trip. Hot, fun and loving in the room. The boy, outside the room, hoxever, is still quiet and distant. Not chatty at all on neither WhatsApp or Facebook. Now, as I messaged him on facebook for overnights on this trip, shockingly he told me he is no longer working in saunas then went dead silent The disappointment hits hard. Coupled with empty 202 this trip except for Monday 23rd, this has been a rather sad trip so far boy-wise. Seeing beauty fades and connection lost...

Jean. A tall slim twink with brown skin. The teenager sweetness is easy to spot. Somehow even at 18, he manages to grow a bit facial hair: side burns and light mustache. Isn’t it funny when you are young, you try looking older. When you are old, you try to reverse the time.

Damn. I was on that trail two weeks ago. Was only going to visit Park Large, but it’s quite small, excitement and love for Rio trails overcame my worries. Quite tough trail, for a short section of it one has to climb rocks dragging a chain with support of iron bar nailed into the rock. Totally exhausted hiking up. Gladly paid the cable car ride down. Overall for the week I was there (Dec 17- 24), felt pretty safe walking around. Did two hikes by myself, Corcovado and Dos Irmãos. Then you read this kind of news :-( The Corcovado trail from Park Large has been known for occasional incidents of robbery. I went up with only 100 reals with me, but was a little worried and would be really pissed if my phone got robbed. While this won’t deter me from returning to Rio, I won’t hike that particular trail again. wonder if any of the 40 unlucky tourists will return to hike those beautiful trails in Rio ever again.

Last day of my two weeks 2018 Christmas trip Rio/São Paulo. It has been the best trip since I started visiting Brazil in 2012! A revised ranking for my preference and the luck I had on this trip: #1: Lagoa - model boys, fresh faces. A recent model boy who did shoots in Italy a couple years back. Lovely boy in and out of the room. Must be really tough to make it as male model. To me, he looks even hotter now than in his shoots 2/3 years ago. A cute young couple working Lagoa together the last Sunday before new year. First time seeing that. Had fun with one of them. Would love to try the other half as well, but Lagoa closes on 12/31. #2 - tie: 202 - a former soldier boy, current jiujitsu instructor, memorizing blue eyes, pretty boy under disguise of tough straight man surface, fantastic in bed. Sadly couldn’t arrange a repeat since he lives 3 hours away from Rio and only works Mondays #2 tie: 117 - varieties. Hooked on a sweet 18 yo who just started working saunas 3 weeks ago as he turned 18 in late November. A self identified bi boy, he doesn’t do bottom, but is the sweetest kisser, sucker and rims with a smile on his face. Had a 3 time repeat with him. The sweetest moment is when we were done the second time, as I ask to have a photo together, he hugged me from behind and stretched out one hand in a half heart shape encouraging me to complete the heart:-) #4: Fragata - Only hot on certain days. The low common price (100) probably deters the hot Lagoa boys from working there even on its best day (Tuesday). Several fragata boys I had sessions with on prior trips moved to Lagoa on later trips. Very friendly boys. Did find one I like on a Saturday. Unfortunately the Tuesday of my trip fell on Dec 25. Agree with Davet that on low days the place can be rather deserted. Brazil, the heaven for gay tourists, because of the hot boy saunas. Nowhere else in the world comes close!

Fragata was Quite busy on Saturday. It’s a party of some sort. Some new faces since my last visit in May. It’s always nice to have multiple choices :-) My type is slim boy next door, not bulging muscle. Ideally If the boy seems fond of education, but that’s hard to find. As luck strikes, there is one tonight! The boy is white but golden tanned, slim build, flat abs with defined packs, shiny big eyes which I later saw are blue, nice smiles and respectful demeanor. Great in bed as well. As we connect on Instagram later, his sharp looks in blue suits only makes me swoon even more:-) unfortunately he couldn’t go to Fragata on Sunday. We will meet again in a week after I return from Rio. Perhaps since they had a party the day before, Sunday is rather deserted comparatively. Anyways, if you like boy next door type and stop over São Paulo on a Tuesday, most likely you will find someone you like. And their performance in the room is usually much better than Lagoa boys. Ongoing price has been 100 since I first visited this place 6 years ago. The boys I like say they usually always go on Tuesday and Friday. I also find those days with best options. Low days, sadly, can be a bit depressing. Some prefer cabbage, others carrots. For the type of boys I like and the easygoing vibe, Fragata is my #1 sauna in Brazil.

Glad you got away safely and no one got hurt! Is this in Rio? What a horrific experience. Stay safe!

Congrats on the exciting encounter, mvan1! It was a little scary at first:-) why we all go back time after time!

Don't have much sauna report since Leo came back to my trip. As I gave up hope and decided to just say happy new year and bye bye on the 30th, he replied that he remember I am staying until 31st. He ended up staying the night of 30th before heading to work early on the 31st. We didn't sleep much that night, the boy is a late sleeper. Even though he needs to get up at 6:30 to go to work, he simply can't go to sleep until after 3am. And to my surprise, he brought me a starbucks mug as a gift, what a sweetheart. He is adamant that he won't accept anything from me, except a dinner. We went to the mall first since he wanted to get a book for his friend and a pair of pants for new year. But he didn't find neither of the items. I loved the walk around in a cool night in Sao Paulo. We didn\t get to dinner until 10pm. What a wonderful night, and for the first time, I have someone to go back to next trip. Overall, the encounters off sauna have been the highlights of my trip this time. What a wonderful trip it has been to end 2015. A late happy new year to fellow friends.

Rained in yesterday. Didn't really feel the urge, turned back after seeing even though the rain is lightening up, it's still quite steady. Ended up watching movie on TV learning Portuguese. Raining again today, not nearly as heavy as yesterday. Made up my mind to hit Fragata around 4pm. Last Tuesday before New Years, and raining, hopefully it's not empty. I feel a little like an investigative journalist :-) I like taking metro in São Paulo, outside rush hour, of course. A lot eye candies. The walk from metro is quite pleasant. Light rain, rather cool, all the restaurants along the road are still open, just like a regular day. Arrived at 4:25. Not empty at all. Renato is there again, still too timid to say hello. Changed and sat down in the TV lounge to see what's available. A cute black boy I haven't seen before is fondling his big dick sitting next to me. I like his looks and nice smile, but he is apparently a top. After he realized I am top too, he said he bottom a little. We both laughed as I tell him vc e nao psv :-). This friend of Renato walked by. I was not immediately attracted to him. He is shorter than me, a couple huge tattoos and short legs like mine. I have a thing for slim legs. But as I watched him talking to friends, I was very drawn to his sunny smile. The kind you see on kids, pure happiness. I saw him going into the sauna, and followed in. Since I avoided his inquiring look on previous visits, he politely stands aside waiting to walk out after I pass. I put my hand on his shoulder and started the conversation. He is very friendly and speaks a little English too. He is not pushy for a programa, instead we sat and tried to chat using the limited English and Portugese we both could manage. Only 20, the boy already had 2 ex gf and 2 ex bf! I was attracted to him more every minute. He goes by the name Gustavo. He is great as a btm even though he said he is top initially. The best ass I had this trip. Jose was a little too tight, Renato is a little too loose, he is just right. I would be happy to have a repeat. Later he gave me his Instagram handle, since I don't have whatsapp and he abandoned his Facebook due to some troubled ex gf. It seems he has a baby girl! Amazing how some Brazilians live their lives, fucking girls, fucking boys, getting fucked by boys, selling sex for money, and still smile so genuinely and be so kind and friendly. I actually learned something from one of his Instagram post. Walking back to metro after a great encounter is always a pleasure. More so today in the gentle light rain, lush trees and flowers on the ground after the heavier rain earlier in the day. This is what the boy posted, a quote from Mark Twain:

Thunderstorm clouds moved in around 4, my hotel room is at 5th floor, right at treetop level, I can see wind was picking up. Hesitating whether I should go to saunas tonight. Hard to believe it's only been 15 days in the trip. I really had more action than the rest of the year. And with highlights of Jose and Leo, this is my best trip to Brazil ever. 5th time is the charm perhaps :-) I can honestly say I would be happy flying home now, but even better, there are still 4 nights left! Today is the last Sunday before new year. Still 20% of the shops are open during the day, including all pharmacies, a lot of shoe stores and my favorite lunch place at Praca Republica: sukiya. Unfortunately I can only visit during Christmas break, but at least unlike smaller cities, the mega city São Paulo doesn't completely shut down. 4:15, still just gathering clouds. São Paulo seems to have a lot more short thunderstorms than Rio. I am not really horny, but I would rather look at some hot boy's than staying in hotel room. I really appreciate Fragata stays open 365 days a year, so I decided to show my support to go there first tonight. Arrived at 4:45, thankfully a lot of the restaurants along the way from the metro station are still open, so it feels quite safe as usual. Not a lot of boys, quite a lot clients. Renato is there. I love how he looks when he is not smiling, especially from the side. And the slim body and smooth legs. Just adorable. However he is lacking confidence to chat, even with local clients. After we had two sessions, he still couldn't stop by just to say hello. And when he smiles, it kinda turns me off. He has a friend there, they often sit together looking at something on their phones. The friend is more Latino, cute face, but rather built with huge tattoo on one arm, not really my type. But when he talk and smiles, his face lights up and I am quite attracted to him after a while. Perhaps I will do a session with him later. By 6pm, more clients came in than boys. There was a new boy I never seen before, looks quite hot like a slimmer version of supermodel Marlon. But once he undress, there is a huge tattoo coving his chest. I am not a fan of big tattoo or piercings. Later he walks naked in between the two sauna rooms sporting a hardon. Interesting but I lost interest. The friend of Renato is picked up by a regular. Another boy I haven't seen, dark skinned Latino, is also opening his towels frequently to show off his huge asset. Not much hope for new incoming boys, I decide to check out Lagoa next to see if the cute twink skater boy shows up tonight. Arrived at 6:55. Still quite busy for the last Sunday before new year, but not as crowded as Saturday. I avoided eye contact with Jesse yesterday, but it's hard to do today with fewer people. His smile is just lovely. I wish Renato has this smile, I would definitely bring him back to my hotel. Jesse is very good at making small talk, even though he speaks little English. He remembers my name, rubbing his little facial hair on my face after I point it out. It's hard to say no to a charming boy like him. But I told him I just came in and need a little rest, maybe later. He politely walked away. 7:40, the skater boy is not here tonight. Jesse came back to sit with me. He is very good at touching you a little here and there, and saying "come on" in a little whiny but still manly voice. It's peanuts money these boys are making, I just can't say no to him. I am not really horny so I'm just doing it for fun. Jesse is a fun dude in and out of the room, keeps making jokes, giving me a finger when I joked that he likes getting fucked. He is more into bottoming than last year, but still very tight. He is making a lot of faces, but determined to get through to the end. I like other stuff he does, but not really the fucking. To be fare, I have done it quite a lot in the padt two weeks. So I gave up after a while. He asks me jokingly 'milk? No milk?". Then insist to suck me off. I appreciate his hardworking ethics, but I really don't need to cum that much. I had a fun time, and this is a good excuse to say no next time :-) Lagoa has special rates on Monday, Fragata on Tuesday. Wednesday is my last night here. A very satisfied tourist already. No pressure, lets see if more fun things happen before the trip ends.

Leo was off Saturday, so he said maybe he will come over again. As I try to confirm with him in the afternoon, he said his best friend he lives with need his help in his store, it will be really late, he won't be able to come over after all. I am afraid this might just be the gentle way to say I don't want to do it again. also he is not as chatty as before. Nothing to do at night, I went to Lagoa around 6pm, there is a party there according to their website. One big difference between the saunas in Rio and São Paulo is that in São Paulo, both saunas have ample quiet rest spaces where you can just relax, unless you make eye contact with the boys, they just leave you alone. I love it. A lot of six packs, but I am not looking for that. Not very busy, I have seen better boy parade between 6:30 and 7:30. Jesse is still the one I like the most. He has a little facial hair now, I just love that smile when he is talking to his friends, so sunny and happy, it lights up the room. But he is very clear that he is gay for pay, I had a lot of sessions with him last year, not ready to jump in with him again. He went upstairs twice over the next couple hours, once in a 3-way. Around 7, a very cute slim tall white twink came in with a client, they went up to a room right away. Long dirty blond hair, boyish face, very much my type. I am not really horny after an afternoon with Leo the day before, but I will definitely go for him, if he is btm or vers, a lot of pretty boys tend to be top only I found. Not any other boys there already or came in later interest me. By 7:40, I saw the twink boa again, still in his jeans, but carrying his t-shirt. Unlike most of the gym trained bodies, the boy is clearly not going to gym, just naturally slim, smooth body, the regular skater boy type, I really like. Before I could get up talking to him, another apparent regular hugged him and after a short conversation, took him home out of the club :-( bummer. By 8:30, I decided to call it a night. It's only 40r if you pay cash, 60 if pay by card. I might just come back tomorrow to see if I can find that boy. Around 11pm, Leo sent a msg saying hello, and that he is still at his friends shop, they are just closing and heading home. My hope is coming alive again. But then when I said I missed him and asked if he want to come over next day, he said he is really tired. I am very confused. Is he saying no or not. But I think I won't ask again.
