Several reasons are being given by currency traders for the current weakness in the Real, none related to the violence in Sao Paulo.

Topping the list is the continuing increases in US interest...

Ola Helpmann,

My experiences with Karla Models and festinhas have always involved at least as many GDPs from Karla's as there were guys, and I've never faced a switching fee. We did have one...

A very good post by EA on the difference between "GFE" and "GF" E. I've certainly seen several gringos being hounded by Copa (and in some case terma) GDPs who were acting out the latter. If you ever...

Oi Mangera,

I have to admit that my personal Rio experience with escort agencies has been limited to Karla Models/ScortShow and CIAplus.

I have tried CIAplus three times (the last two and a...

Agree with Sperto, Lancer520, and TrickTracy -- little gifts are excellent motivators and thank you presents. In my experience, the GDPs are very brand conscious, so I bring Victoria's Secrets body...

JESSICA (Terma 4 X 4)

A friend talked me into visiting Quatro X Quarto, despite my normal skepticism of termas. Lots of girls there, but not very many that could compare to most of the freelancers...

GABRIELA MEIRELLES

[Note: many of the freelancers on riosexsite have no or only one or two reviews on the Brasilian boards. I decided to try one of them as a benchmark to compare to the highly...

KAROL

[NOTE: Karol and Barbara Torres arrived together, so a friend assumed responsibility for Karol, and this review is written based on his experience]

Ease of contact: reached on the second...

ANA LUIZA

Ease of contact: required several calls over three days to reach her. Her phone was not taking messages, so I could not leave information for her to call me back. Phone number...

BARBARA TORRES

Ease of contact: never was able to reach her directly; finally reached her through Karol. Phone number 021-8203-2101.

On time: about 20 minutes late, which is on time by Brasil...

In the spirit of public service, I decided to use part of my visit to Rio last week to review the top rated freelancers on www.riosexsite.net, arguably the favorite source of mid-priced freelancer...

To all you Americans out there! Last night's date is still asleep in the bedroom, I've just finished putting together the brioche crusted, mushroom stuffed whole salmon that will substitute for the...

mac, i'd also be interested in your perspective on ezinho's questions re brasilian mongers. from my experience reading the brasilian monger boards like gpbr.net and gpguia.net, they don't seem to be...

Once again, like a moth to the flame, I am drawn in . . . .

UC San Diego is a fine school that has improved enormously in the last 30 years and ranks with any institution in areas that touch on...

Hi Mac,

Good post -- thanks for both the source materials and the estimates. Not to try to dictate a methodology, but in market research (which has some fairly good techniques I think could be...

Can't resist.

One more post in response to some numbers people have thrown out.

First, It Traveler: average lifespan difference between the USA and the European Union was 1.1 years (77.6 years...

To add a bit of factual information to the debate on violence in Brasil and the USA: Per the Center for Disease Control, which tracks causes of all deaths in the USA, there were 30,242 gun caused...

Seems to me that Macuniama studying prostitution and mongering without being either is no different from most anthropological or sociological studies -- in some ways maintaining a distance from the...

Double,

In response to your question of yesterday, I've found the best exchange rates to get the initial wad of cash you'll need in Rio are at the ATMs in GIG (the airport at which I assume you're...

I've noticed several posts added over the last couple days with specific, useful information for the gentleman traveler to Rio from Sperto, Ezinho, and, yes, Macuniama (don't hit me! I thought his...

Macuniama isn't the only one of us that strays off topic, and he manages to write in complete sentences when he does (with good grammer, appropriate punctuation, and correct usage of capital...

i'd like to second euro100's post of earlier today on "friendly advice:" some of us are of an age, experience, and level of economic comfort where enjoying our fantasies with an attractive young...

Figures:

I've made a half dozen trips to Rio over the last two years with my girlfriend (also slim, blonde, sexy, but an inch shorter than you) and occasionally other playful couples interested in...
