Rio de Janeiro Reports

[DonCarlos1234]

I just spent 9 days in Rio .....
I think the women in Colombia, Venezuela, and Panama are a little more sensual. *The girl's bodies were also much more natural with few fake tits and even fewer fake asses (SP may be different). I don't think the women's faces, style, or fitness is anywhere near as attractive as Colombia, but the women were much more laid back (beach lifestyle)
Other.
.

I understand YMMV and I am still planning a trip. But maybe I will shorten to 7 days and also stop in Colombia. Also seems more expensive in Brazil.

When put in it's proper context of the post in which it was delivered, "you got to wear the robe" , takes on its true and proper meaning of, should you want to really and truly, wish to fully immerse yourself and fully experience Brazilian Rio terma culture, then "you got to wear the robe". Almost, like a "bucket list" type of event, if you will.

BTW, the post also included/referenced, the discussions of pros and cons, where the reader could still decide for themselves, whether it was something they wanted to do.

Your eloquent words, captured the true essence of my statement. I'm glad you understood what I was saying.

I'm definitely second guessing myself (primarily due to language. I speak zero Porto) but I'm probably booking Rio tomorrow. Your info and comparison was the exact confirmation I needed.

How many of us you think spoke Portuguese our first time in Brazil? But those women ended up being a great motivator to learn! Been to Vietnam; I do not speak Vietnamese. Been to Russia; I do not speak Russian. First time to Thailand I did not speak Thai. Do not let not knowing the language be an excuse for not going somewhere.

I went to Puerta Plata, DR once, and stayed at Blackbeards resort. Thumbs Up on the beaches and the warm Caribbean waters. Thumbs down on the women. I found them too transactional and clinical. Other friends went to Souza and had similar experiences. That trip turned me off to the DR. That said, I have a friend who's been going there for years. He's got a good collection of ladies. He finds them online. I need to vet the them in person, get a feel for them.

Well, if your friend is willing to share, you can have a great time in Sosua. Not having to dig for a rare gem can be a huge differentiator.

This is a really helpful analysis and comparison. Much appreciated! I'm definitely second guessing myself (primarily due to language. I speak zero Porto) but I'm probably booking Rio tomorrow. Your info and comparison was the exact confirmation I needed.

Glad if I could help, good luck!

The part that the other guys failed to mention is that nobody cares about that shit. In Brazil people are people and they do not have the hangups that some other countries may have. Go and let loose.

Who remembers the guy that used to work on Copacabana Beach back in the day that wore the sunga (Speedo) and had some big ass tumor in his nutsack? If that guy could walk around like that everyday then I assure you they will have no problem with you wearing a robe in a private fuck club. You will cheat the fuck out of yourself by going to DR instead of Brazil.

Valuable info, thanks, Mr. E. Not sure I needed to know about a nutsack tumor! LOL. But point well taken.

Not only does Sosua has a beach (more than one, by the way), but it's a much nicer beach, too, along with the ocean where you can actually enjoy swimming -- unlike Rio beaches with their extremely strong currents where the waves will throw your around like a metal can.

The reason to go to Rio over Sosua is that a) it's a huge and fascinating city, b) mongering in Rio is WAY better and cheaper than Sosua. You're practically guaranteed to have a great time in Rio even as a newcomer. Sosua is a good place in terms of proximity to the US. Plus you'll do great if you cultivate your own harem over the years, but that takes time and patience that I lack. That's why there is a never-ending debate in the Sosua thread between veterans and expats on one side and everyone else.

Man sets fire to call girl in Rio de Janeiro. Woman says attacker later offered her money to 'keep quiet'; Police try to identify the suspect. https://www1.folha.uol.com.br/cotidi...-janeiro.shtml.

Weird ass story. What does her being a hooker have to do with anything? She said she was sitting in the car with a friend when the guy (a stranger) came up. Seems he may have been one of those youtube prank guys or something. He used deodorant spray and a lighter to make a flamethrower and her hair was burned. He sent her a message on whatsapp later offering her money not to say anything. How the hell did he get her phone number to send her a message?

But if and when he does go to 4 x4 guess what? He's going to see that virtually every one there will be in agreement with those of us who say it's best to wear a robe to have "the full experience" versus staying in street clothes because they too will be in robes. To wear a robe is the clear majority view, not only here but within the broader termas culture itself.

Reminds me of one of these kids is doing his own thing. When in Rome FUCK what the Romans are doing.

I don't believe that on this subject anyone here has acted as if there's only one way to do things. Plenty here have said before that there's no one "right way" to monger. The man asked a question seeking feedback and people weighed in giving him their honest opinion on the matter. Take it or leave it. But if and when he does go to 4 x4 guess what?

To wear a robe is the clear majority view, not only here but within the broader termas culture itself. If somebody doesn't want to wear one and that's allowed by the establishment, then fine don't. It's just that some of us strongly believe that you're missing out on an enjoyable aspect of being there if you don't. Somebody here mentioned that one of the places would want you to wear a robe over your clothes. Didn't someone say that? Now that in my view would look pretty absurd (and make it harder for a hottie to get at your dick)!

I agree, if you want to just wear a robe, great, if not, great too. Do whatever makes you feel comfortable. I don't understand why people on here seem to think their preference is the only way to do things.

I have never taken my clothes off in any of the top 5 RJ Termas and I don't think I missed anything. Look, I get it. If you want to go along with the custom and it makes you happy, stow your clothes in a locker and wear the robe. But for me it is no big deal,

Blasphemy! Next you will be telling us that you do not pee on the wall when you get off the bus at the underpass and walk to Vila Mimosa.

As I've said on more than one occasion, I'm a robe guy. If you don't want it, that's fine, but if you're debating it -- get a robe. It really does enhance the whole experience, LOL. Not only would they be able to rich all parts of your body easily, but you can also visit a sauna and take shower before and after the main course. I just don't see the downside.

I think bringing your own robe is an overkill. Despite my large size, the attendants have never failed to deliver a robe that would fit me perfectly (sometimes it would take them a few minutes to find).

If you dislike the robe they hand you for whatever reason, you can ask for another one. They do want appreciate a tip from an occasional gringo.

Still want to bring your own robe? Go ahead if it tickles your fancy. This can be a nice conversation starter if you actually need one in a hoarhouse, LOL.
