Rio de Janeiro Reports

[Cartola28]

I was wondering if the famous porn star Mayara Rodrigues escorts in Rio or anywhere in Brazil. Can't find anything recent after an extensive search.

Thanks

much as i respect patmar's posts i have to confirm sperto's and ec's posts. rio is not everywhere and can't be judged on what generally might work, although i can't imagine the 'camera' thing working anywhere where muggings occur really.

most robberies in rio happen so fast that they will often be over before the victim has even gathered his wits. dsitraction, a second person in your pockets from behind, and then they run, fast. the slightest objection / provocation is met with increased level of threat. if a robbery occurs in copa people will stand and watch it happen. all you can do is a) get better at avoiding being robbed, and b) make sure that what is taken in the event you are robbed is not something you can't live without.

the post that triggered the well-meaning replies was not even about a mugging, but a robbery by stealth that occurs in vm occasionally, which i why i tried to reply with advice for that specific situation. with your clothes off and a woman's body wrapped round you, often in dim light, you don't have many options. even if yiou break free at lightning speed, kick the door open, chase the thief like batman on steriods, they will probably have dumped the camera or, if it is cash (which they will probably take out of your wallet rather than take your wallet), claim is theirs anyway. in a dispute between a gringo and a brasilian, where there is no absolute proof, people will generally side with the brasilian.

if you are a big tough guy, preferably with some tough-looking buddies nearby, it might improve your chances, but the only surefire protection not to get robbed is avoidance or, if you don't manage that, making sure it is only for something negligible. it's not that hard, to just carry what you really need and in an unobtrusive manner, and avoid situations that make you an easier target. if a person looks suspicious, avoid being near them: change your mind, cross the street, go somewhere else, or if he gets up to follow you off the bus, sit down again and get off a stop later. think, "if i were a criminal trying to rob me, how would i do it? how easy / worthwhile would it be?

in copa or lapa, anyone is a target. in vm, only gringos usually carry enough to make it worth robbing them.

Take care!

Yup, Balcony is about to be shut down.

That's stupid. The bar owners aren't doing anything to promote the actions of the people there. Termas are worse offenders. Its a nice beachside bar that only swings that way after midnite. The cops should be worrying about other stuff right now rather than closing down bars.

The most powerful weapon a person reading this board can legally carry.

And as a practical matter in gunfights everywhere cameras are the tipping point deciding the winner of the actual fight and the winner of who writes the history.

The goal is to get the Brazilians who do legally carry guns on your side asap when required.

Sorry, but the most powerful weapon in a confrontation is a gun.

Never bring a camera to a gun fight.

I don't know of the effect is immediate or not but Balcony it seems got a suspension notice yesterday.

In a confrontation (not just in Brazil, but everywhere), the most powerful weapon is a camera. Point it at a opponent, especially a criminal, and they will retreat.

Always be ready to call the police and report your location, accurately. Teach yourself this on a computer with a map and a translation program. (lots of stupid testosterone on this thread about fighting. Fighting is always stupid. The only realistic move is to give up quicklyif there's a real fight).

The locals will listen to your call to the police. Accurately calling in the police within earshot is another sure way to get a criminal or opponent actually running away.

I never been robbed but I witnessed many robberies. They happens quickly. No time to call the police or make the thief pose for photos.

I don't think you will get your phone back. I'm sorry to hear you got it stolen.

Can you describe which casa it happened in? While most casas are honest, the occasional one is not. One I always avoid, even if a girl from outside the casa wants to go there, is about the second along on the left as you enter the Yoo-bend coming from West (usual approach, for instance if you are coming from Sao Cristovao). There is a small bar on the left hand side as you go in unless they've moved it around recently. Then the stairs at the back and to the left lead upstairs and as the cubicles are so small it seems natural to put your gear on the floor by the door, which doesn't lock. As you do the business, the girl tries to hold you tight to stop you looking round. Meanwhile someone croucing down outside the door opens it suficiently to rifle through your trousers.

For future reference, maybe try not to take too much worth stealing to VM. I was sessioning with a girl in another casa one time, and she was very hot and I was enjoying it immensely, yet aware with a smile that one long skinny arm was reaching out to the table where I had put my clothes. I could sense from the small muscle movements in her upper arm that she was trying to rifle through my pockets. I laughed and told her she wouldn't find anything, and gently pulled her arm back and carried on enjoying myself. (My extra cash was under the insole of my trainers; enough for beers, another session or two, and a bus home: it meant that if a girl tried to ask for more I would empty a pocket and 'discover' that I only had more or less the correct money. If I needed privacy to top up my immediate cash I would maybe go inside the small cafe at the front of the you-bend or, if it was busy, a toilet area.) I also always roll my trousers or jeans up when I take them off and if possible put them on the floor (on top of my trainers) away from both the reach of the girl and the door.

Even if you have a 'TrackMyPhone' app or follow someone who you think stole it, do you really think you would be able to recover it? Whoever took it will have got rid of it by now and if you were to confront a group of Brasilians on your own it would be a very foolish thing to do. If you want to make an insurance claim you need to go to the Tourist Police in Leblon if you haven't done so to get a certificate to say you reported it. That will probably take several hours.

It was a bad experience. You will feel terrible and probably a bit dumb for a day or two. Then it will pass. Learning experience. Think of it as tourist tax.

Hey all,

I wanted to see if anyone has any connections in Vila Mimosa. I was there tonight and got my iphone stolen while doing a girl. Morena goes by the name Bruna, tall young girl wearing yellow thong, went upstairs with her and the door wouldn't lock, but no one else was upstairs. She had knocked the clothes off the end of the little bed, while we were goin at it, which I didn't think much about, but then when I was finished, I realized someone had taken my underwear and my iphone was missing. I know it was the other girl there, as I saw her go down the stairs, and no other guy was around. Then I saw in the room next door my underwear and of course no iphone.

I tried talking to the original guy I had to pay, and he was like, No one took your cell phone, get out of here.

Interestingly the one girl I saw left to go home right then, and was escorted by one of the guys working there. I saw her get on the metro north but couldn't follow her any further as I couldn't get a metro ticket fast enough to board. I'm so tempted to just waiting for her one day now, and just follow her home, but I know the phone is a lost cause now.

However, wanted to see if anyone was connected there and knows if there is someone who can help recover it. Its an international iphone, and I've already sent everything to deactivate it.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

So, I actually did have that experience of banging while Paris burned, or as close as it gets in Rio. Exiting a hour session in Av Pres (Getulio, see the movie!) Vargas, where I banged a dark negra for an hour and CIM twice, I was met by a protest on the main street. But the reality is that it was a sectoral, professional protest. It was less than 100 people, carrying signs, and probably out numbered by cops. Across the street, with me going across the intersection were a normal cross section of cariocas -- including as I have become hypersenstized to -- a very hot, morena business girl who again was a lot more attractive than the pros in the prives and termas.

The next day I had a diaria with another prive girl. The best cost benefit by far in RJ and everywhere I have been in Brazil is with the prive girls. Termas are generally (at least from my perspective, and especially during this predictable 1-month boom, to be followed by a an equally predictable at least 1-month depression later in the summer) best to go spectate after the prive, whether it is the proverbial 100 r shower at MC or wherever.

FWIW, the best looking woman I saw in RJ was an American, about 21, long legged, natural breasted, brunette haired, and 5'10". Smart, interesting, interested, articulate, athletic; texting like mad like every 21 year old woman on earth, perhaps. It just reinforced my view that the most attractive Brazilian women are far from RJ. Sex is a necessary, but not sufficient, component of happiness; banging endless bunda is fine as far as it goes, but talking with an intelligent woman is sublime for its own sake.

Carry two cell phones, on separate parts of your body. The cheapest that you can afford to lose and not think twice about (everyone's economics are different).

In a confrontation (not just in brazil, but everywhere), the most powerful weapon is a camera. Point it at a opponent, especially a criminal, and they will retreat.

Always be ready to call the police and report your location, accurately. Teach yourself this on a computer with a map and a translation program.

A wingman who is really valuable is someone who has the same routine as outlined above. What you should be able to do together is to go backwards away from the threat to board the closest taxi possible and get as far away as possible. You should be able to take pictures on smart phones of each other moving away.

Can you explain the connection BTW Africa and the attributed characteristics?

Every few months someone starts with this crap. Let it go.

[Sperto]

Sperto you are absolutly right, we do the same in Sampa.

Do you folks in Rio also promote parties at these prives?

ABG.

No, unfortunately they don't.

[AltoBomGosto]

Propably not because of being cheap but because they have learnt that there are many gems to be found at the cheap prives.
This year I had some of my best sessions at a priv that charged R$60 for a threesome with two girls.

Sperto you are absolutly right, we do the same in Sampa.

Do you folks in Rio also promote parties at these privées?

ABG.
