before i get started, i’ve been telling myself forever that i am going to put together a detailed report for one of my trips to rio. i’ve finally wrote a fairly detailed one here. my intent was to put back into the wsg. it was the detailed reports that were very helpful to me on my first trip to rio, so if this report helps anyone with their travel plans, then i have put back in what i have taken from the wsg forum.
in my report, i wrote about my experiences with the p4p scene (of course) and the non-pro scene that i dabbled in. there are a couple of days that i wrote about here dealing only with my non-pro experiences and provided very little or no info. regarding p4p. so… if you only like to read reports that talk about sex and nothing else but that, you should just skip over this one. for all others, here goes…
i am recently returning from an unbelievably fun week in rio. this trip makes number four for me and it seems like they get progressively better each time that i go. i am still just a rio novice, but over the last three years i’ve come to know quite a bit about this amazing city. i went to rio this time with a longtime friend of mine that was traveling outside of the u.s. for the first time ever. i had been telling him about rio for the past few years and earlier this year he made up his mind to go. after so many painful months of waiting went by, the time for our flight had now come so we sat out to conquer.
after a long 12-hour flight, we arrive in rio.
day 1:
we arrived in rio around 1pm on a saturday and had a driver from the rio roiss (fernando) waiting at the airport to take us to the hotel. in the past i have had problems with exchanging money when i arrived in rio on saturdays. i think your best rate would be at the atm machine at the blockbuster in copacabana, but i did not feel like worrying about my card not working or the machine being out of order or money. all of the other cambios that i knew of in copacabana would have closed by the time we got there from the airport, so i decided to use the amex inside the airport to get me started. the exchange rate at the airport in the u.s. was terrible so i called the amex at the airport in rio prior to the flight and found that their rate was much better. so the first mission was to go to there and get some reis.
there were so many parasites in the airport it made it a real pain in the ass to exchange money. i discretely told fernando that i wanted to go to amex before leaving the airport and next thing you know some guys come running up to us asking what we need. after a few seconds, i just started walking away and fernando caught up with me and said that he would take us to amex right away. if you want to exchange money when you arrive at the airport, here is amex’s info (the amex in copacabana has weird hours and long waiting lines most of the time, so while you’re still at the airport this is a good opportunity in my opinion):
amex - int’l airport 011 (55 21) 9749-2645
terminal 2 – 1st floor
thinking that the hard part was over, i get out of the car and go into the terminal, only to find a group of about four guys staring at me like i had a hundred dollar bill pasted on my forehead. great. we went to amex and got what we needed to get us by for a few days and headed back out of the airport.
you’re probably better off just using the atm at the blockbuster. i only had one problem with using it on my previous trip. the machine could not read the magnetic strip on my card and the people at blockbuster obviously couldn’t do anything to help. i went to numerous banks with every major credit card that you could think of and none of them would let me withdraw money because i did know any of my pin numbers. finally, i went to amex in copa and explained to them what the problem was. they were nice and let me withdraw money from my amex card for the rest of my trip and i only had to show them my card and my passport each time, no pin. i wasted so much time that day and was way too frustrated with the whole thing.
try the blockbuster you’ll get a better rate, just don’t be a dumbass like i was and bring a worn out atm card with you and be sure to memorize the pin numbers of your other credit cards as a backup:
blockbuster – copacabana
av. n. s.de copacabana n°: 619
tel: 011 (55 21) 2549-8677
real quick, in case anyone is still wondering about having to be fingerprinted and photographed by immigration at the airport, don’t worry. we didn’t have to do either one and i did not see anyone else having to either.
after a surprisingly quick drive from the airport, we arrive at the rio roiss. i have read about the rio roiss on the wsg forum for a long-time now and wasn’t 100% sure on how my reaction to this place would be. well, my first impression was not that good. we walked into the entrance and they had guys painting the entranceway of the hotel on the inside and wearing respirators, so it was a little hard to breath and their set-up was somewhat of an eyesore. renovating is a good thing, but i was hoping that they would not be doing that the whole time that we were staying at the hotel. turns out they finished up that same day, so it was not really that of a big deal.
after checking in we went up to our rooms. first, let me say that i’ve stayed at some very nice hotels in rio and some that were above average, so i was a little worried that this place might suck a little. after taking a good look inside the room, i was totally impressed. their furnishings are a little older and not the most expensive, but everything was nice, clean and comfortable. my favorite things were the size of the deluxe room and the overhead shower was cool too. i usually like to stay at nicer places, but i would not have any problems staying at this hotel again.
once we got settled in we decided to go eat at a sandwich shop that i’ve read a lot of good reviews about called cervantes. if you have not been, i highly recommend it. we ordered the “sanduíche filet mignon com queijo” ~ “filet mignon sandwich with melted cheese”. it was unbelievably good and cheap (<r$12 p/ person). if you are coming from the direction of help on ave. atlantica headed in the direction of the copacabana palace, take a left onto the street that mab’s is on, continue pass barbarella and cervantes is one more block down on your left, right next door to a chevrolet car dealership:

now it was time to hit the termas. i have told my friend about all of the termas that i have been to in rio and left the decision up to him as to which one we went to first. his choice was centaurus and that was perfectly fine by me. we arrived there around 6pm and the lady at the desk told us that if we could hold off taking a girl upstairs until 7, all of the girls would be there by then for us to choose from. sounded like a good idea to me. one thing i noticed right of the bat was that the price has went up a little bit. it was r$ 310 for 40-minutes. i asked the lady when did they raise their prices and she acted clueless. when i told her that it was r$ 290 on my last visit, she said that they changed their rates about a year ago. bummer, but oh well. i did not fly 5k miles to boycott my favorite terma over r$ 20. after changing, we went straight to the boite where all of the chicas were. this place seems to get better and better every time i go (minus the price increase). there was no shortage of beauties in centaurus. before our trip to rio, i told my friend that going to centaurus has to be the next best thing to being at the playboy mansion. the girls there are always the best looking girls that i see while i am in rio and after four trips in three years they have kept their standards up every time that i have been.
one thing that i emphasized to my friend prior to our trip is that you have to make a conscious effort to be picky in these termas and do not take the first girl upstairs that gives you wood. once one of these gorgeous girls sets down with you, all of them have perfected the art of making the male horny to the max. you still need to keep looking at all of the other girls in the terma though, because there is always another girl that is better looking than the one setting with you. if you’ve never been to a terma before you may feel a little uncomfortable about telling a girl that is sitting with you that you are interested in meeting a different girl there, but don’t be. i’ve been in the termas so many times a cannot tell you how often i’ve had girls blowing kisses at me and winking at me while the guy she is with is kissing all over her neck and fondling her boobs. i would be an idiot if i said that the same thing never happened to me. you won’t see it happen, but it certainly will a few times. my point is don’t feel guilty if you turn down a girl here, because they certainly aren’t feeling guilty about blowing kisses and winking at some of the guys setting around you when you’re not looking. if there were an entry in the dictionary for the cliché “mixing business with pleasure”, there would be a big picture of a terma right next to it. no one would ever need to be reminded about the pleasures inside of the termas, but while you are there don’t repress the fact that this is business too. be picky and make sure you get exactly girl that you want.
he evidently listened to what i said, because he went through 2 other girls before he picked the one that he wanted. i only had to weed through one before i found the perfect candidate. at this point, we had been sitting down drinking for well over an hour and i was ready to make a move. my friend went upstairs first and i only had to wait about 20-minutes before they had another room available.
i wanted to ask a few people on this trip if they post on the wsg forum. while i was waiting outside of my room i met a black guy from the u.s., and he said that he post here on occasions. i told him my user name and he told me his. his user name was not familiar to me and i cannot remember it, but dude if you’re reading this now and remember our conversation, i hope you had a damn good time at centaurus!
i hate to say this because i have read other posters on here receiving a little criticism for not remembering what the girl’s names were that they hooked-up with while at the termas. unfortunately i will fall into this category. some of these girl’s names are very hard to remember and if i was drinking at the time… forget about it. i could not remember this girl’s name (and a few others). this girl was hot, hot. she had a cinnamon skin, gorgeous face, beautiful eyes and her body was bangin’ (very typical brazilian girl) and she knew exactly what she was doing. although i didn’t request this in the beginning, she did allow cim, which was such a nice way to start off day #1.
i know that everyone has their own opinion as to which place (terma) is the best one to go to. let me just say that in all of my trips to rio and all of the places that i have been to while i was there, the best looking girls in rio de janeiro were right here:
centaurus
rua caning 44,
cnr rua raihha elizabeth, ipanema
tel: (55 21) 2267-5088

(web-site has been down)
after an excellent session with this girl i was feeling satisfied, but ready to go to another place. again, i left this decision up to my friend and he decided on help. i will be the first to admit that this is not the best place in rio, but i still enjoy dropping by there once or twice while in rio.
the girls sitting outside of help were some of the worst that i have ever seen. they were horrible. some of them were older ladies that were well into their 40’s and some of the other bad ones were around their mid-thirties, overweight and not cute at all. i felt sorry for my friend at one point, we made the mistake of sitting at a table that was close to the sidewalk and there was some nasty old lady that had to be in her 50’s that was trying to hook something up with him. i couldn’t help but laugh my ass off the whole time. there were a small handful of cute girls outside of help, but they were few and far between. i told myself that if the girls inside were as bad as the ones on the outside, i would leave immediately and not return again on this trip.
all of a sudden, we started to see a lot of people lining up to go inside help and we were right behind them at matrix speed. inside of help was 100% better than the outside. there was a decent amount of hot looking girls to choose from and it was still early in the night, so you could actually walk around for a change. from here on out, i will refer to my friend as “corey”. we both walked around help for a while before he spotted a hot looking girl (or she spotted him, i should say) that he was interested in. i told him that it was cool if he needed me to help translate. corey does not speak much portuguese outside of saying obrigado, so i knew it would not long before he took me up on my offer.
i decided to check things out solo for a little while and ended up finding a really hot looking girl. same complexion as the girl from centaurus, but had a slightly smaller frame and pretty green eyes. after a little chitchat we started to discuss prices. she started off with r$ 400 and i just smiled a little bit and asked her if she was serious. she asked me what i would pay and i said that i was looking to pay something around r$ 250. something that i have noticed is that if you counter offer with something much lower than the price that she starts out at and she does not walk away immediately, she will more than likely give in to your price or somewhere near the vicinity of it. if you can feel that she is not going to give in to your first offer, slowly increase your offer in r$ 25 increments not r$ 50 increments. remember this is brazil and if you increase your offer by r$ 50 just like that… she will see you as just another gringo with a pocket full of money to burn. it is not much money to you and me, but you would be surprised at how much more serious they will take you when you increase your offer by r$ 25 instead of r$ 50. back to my price discussion with this girl…. after i counter offered with r$ 250, she said that she would charge me $ 350 (since she did not turn her nose up when i said r$ 250, in my mind r$ 350 is just another bogus number). i asked her how long she would stay with me and she said she would stay for 2 or 3 hours. i told her that if she would agree on r$ 275, but only if she would agree to stay all night. she didn’t say anything. i then offered her r$ 285, as my last offer. she agreed and said that she had to leave at 6am though. the deal was made and now i had to go find my friend to let him know that i was leaving.
i was trying to find corey, but he was nowhere in sight. i have been friends with corey since junior high and knew that this scene was all new to him, so i wanted to make sure he remembered how to get back to the hotel before i left help. after walking around help for what seemed like forever, i assumed he was taking care of business back at the hotel already. i went back to the rio roiss and asked them to call his room. they did, but no one ever answered and the night clerk said that he had not seen him. i asked the girl to wait for me in the lobby of the hotel while i went back to help for one final look. shit this sucks!! luckily, i saw him as soon as i walked in and told him that my girl was waiting for me back at the hotel. i made a final offer to help him talk to this girl that was with him, but he said things were ok at the moment, so i was outta there.
my girl was still waiting for me in the lobby, so off to my room we went. i had an excellent time with this girl. she was 21 and really cute. about 15 minutes into a very nice bbbj, my phone starts ringing. i almost ignored the damn thing, but answered it anyway. it was corey and he said he had two girls downstairs, but the night clerk would not allow him to take both of them to his room. i told him to try to palm him some money and he said that he already offered him r$ 50, but the guy would not budge. i told him not to offer any more money to the guy. there is a love motel called the vanity that is a 3-minute cab ride from the rio roiss and there are no problems with having two girls there. the last time i stayed at the vanity was in 2001 and the rate was r$ 60. apparently it has increased to r$ 80 (but that is still only r$ 30 more than the “facilitating payment” that he offered the night clerk at the rio roiss). just out of curiosity, i asked him what price the girls were asking and he said r$ 150 for each girl. that should have thrown up a big red flag, but i was too preoccupied and wanted to hang up the phone as soon as possible.
about 40-minutes later, my phone was ringing again and now i am getting annoyed. this is twice that i was interrupted while trying to enjoy myself. it’s corey again and he is pissed-off this time. once he paid to get inside the vanity, the girls asked for the money upfront and he told them that it was at his hotel and he would pay them afterwards. he said that they started putting their clothes back on and got the hell out of there. i would never pay a girl from help in advance. i told him that he was better off just letting them leave. in the meantime, he has already paid for the room at the vanity and the guy would only reimburse him r$ 25 and he only got that much because he told him that he did not have any taxi money. looking back, i am certain that corey misunderstood the girls and i think that they both wanted r$ 300. he told me that was impossible because he took his finger and pointed at one of the girls and said “one hundred and fifty reis for you” and pointed to the other girl and said ““one hundred and fifty reis for you” and they both shook their heads yes. i told him, “do you really think they understood you when you said “one hundred and fifty” in english? and even if they did understand, would they tell you the truth??” they would have done whatever it took to get r$ 300 each.
finally, i get back to business. i had an excellent time with this girl and even though she agreed upfront that we could go at it more than once as long as she could leave by 6am, i decided to call it quits for the night. i was exhausted.
there are so many better places to go, but you can go to help and have a good time despite popular opinion. here is a link help's web site. i think it's a good depiction of help, because you will see one decent looking girl in about every tenth picture...
