Newbie to Rio Recommendation
First, welcome to Rio!
My recommendation for you visit:
1. Suck it up and spend the money on a terma at least one time. It is as unique to Brazil as the "shower" is to Asia. Since you will only do it once, I would recommend going to L'uomos. I rarely go there, but, for a one-time experience, I just think it's the best option. Experienced, fun garotas, single-level entertaiment, reasonably-good food, and a festive atmosphere in the bar area. My suggestion would be to arrive around 7:30, look around, relax, eat, have a few drinks, watch the scene develop, and get serious about a choice around 9:00. Then, go back into the bar area and enjoy the dancing and party. This experience was near-perfect at the $60-80 it used to cost a few short years ago (okay, 6 years ago), but it remains the quintessential Rio experience.
2. If you enjoy it but don't want to spend the same money again, go to 4X4 or Cancum downtown. Go around lunch time to Centro, have a nice lunch at Spagettilandia, or at the outdoor restaurant above the Cinelandia Metro Station. Then, head to Cancum or 4X4 around 4:00. Do your best to choose a girl before 5pm, thereby saving the entrance. If nobody strikes your fancy by then, at least the cover is only $30R. All-in is $190 plus 30R or $220 + 30R. I know 220R was either the before entrada or after entrada price.
3. Go to the nicest of the Massage houses in Centro. They cost around 100R for an hour. 3320 in the Rio Branco 156 building, or the one on the 5th floor across the street in the 185 building.
4. Hang out in front of Balcony some of the evenings. It is still a fun scene, although a low-rent event compared to Help.
5. Enjoy the LAPA scene on a Thu.-Sat. night. Legit, but really fun.
Have fun!
RE: Newbie to Rio Recommendation
Thanks for the response, FT!
I will almost definitely do a terma once just because. Well. It is a must. Besides that, I'll try to make my funds go as far as possible, but without actually having to boink shin-deep in shit, LOL. Luckily for the wallet, I no longer drink heavily (had to give up on the heavy tequila nights, kept waking up stark naked under my truck with the keys in my ass). I have always liked massage places in Asia that do FS (soapies, anyone?) so am definitely interested in the massage option.
I suspect the hotel I am staying in for business in not girl friendly, and regardless I always have some concerns about security of my stuff in the room, as well as issues that occasionally arise when a disagreement over payment occurs and the garota is in your main pad. Can get ugly.
I am not great at the pickup scene anywhere in the world (happens when you get old, fat, and impatient, and even my mother never considered me anything other than ugly) so just sitting and watching the Balcony scene is just fine. I know I'll enjoy the food in Brazil (Bahia-type food is one of my favorites, but alternatively heaps of grilled animal flesh is also greatly enjoyed, LOL)
I'm compiling my lists. And trying to memorize some key Porto phrases. Thanks again to everyone who has contributed all the great information on this forum.

Key Logger Program! Greatest Tool In Rio!!!!
Just got back last friday from an extended trip in rio. I have to say that Copa really sucks now, it is just horrible. Balcony and Doce Vita are just terrible, same 50-60 girls every single night. Even on a slow night, you had between 100-300 girls between TA & Help. The cost of everything has gone thru the roof, Rio is just too expensive a place to visit.
I do have one thing I would like to share with the board. I know some of you guys will not agree with what I did, but I feel just fine with my actions. I installed a KEYLOGGER program on my laptop!! I SHOULD HAVE DONE THAT YEARS AGO!!!! If you really want to find out the truth about your "special girl" in rio, have her use your laptop and then go back and see what she is up to. You will find out all kinds of secrets and dirt that you never imagined!
I had one girl that I have known for almost 5 years, I trusted her more than any other GDP in rio. Come to find out, she sent out a mass email out last year saying that her daughter died in a car accident and she needed money to bury her. I would have NEVER thought she would have done something like that, never would have believed it in a million years, until I went into her sent items.
Hell, I even found out some good dirt on my regular girlfriend. I thought she was squeaky clean and I discovered she did some foul shit behind my back too. I wish I wish i had installed that program years ago, it would have saved me alot of money and I could have known how low down and dirty most of these girls are. I have email, facebook and orkut passwords for about 12 females and it is like watching a live soap opera with all the drama and bullshit going on in their lives.
It's been here for a while!
Most guys will tell you to read the forum in an impolite manner. You should take some time and read it. Here is Bubba's guide. It's a bit old but it really gives you the blow by blow of what's going to happen. All what you need has been posted here many times. Take some time and look it over. Have fun...
[url]http://www.internationalsexguide.info/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=65086[/url] [QUOTE=Dive Monger]I found a report from back in 2008 about Praia 400 in Barra. It was not a real positive report (no robes, just street clothes, some other details). I think to do a terma properly, I want to get the most traditional experience possible without ending up destitute. I am well aware that everywhere in the world when it comes to P4P, the price is only loosely connected to the looks and service level of the garota; you are more paying for the comfort and luxury of the establishment, the girls are pretty much the same everywhere. But it is like the red ropes places in Zhuhai. The girls don't look much better, on average, than in the BBS, but the rooms have great beds, mirrors, the ropes, etc. And are much more expensive than your basic boink shop.
Thanks for the L'uomo tip. I am more of an early person than a night owl, so the termas being places for afternoons or early evenings works out great.
They have lockers for your stuff then when you get the robe? Do you guys leave everything in the lockers (like in some FKK clubs in Germany) like wallet/cash, phone, etc. Or do you stuff things in pockets in the robe and keep them with you in the boite?[/QUOTE]
If you could visit ONE last Terma which would it be?
Gentlemen,
I am back in Rio for a little fun and sun(not so much fun for the past two days), and I am going to go to a terma today (thursday) and tomorrow Friday. I have only been to 4 x 4.
Here is my question, if you could only go to 1 more terma in your life, which would it be? Thanks in advance for the advice.
