General Info

Flight is booked. Only hope Brazil will not close its airspace at the last minute.

Could someone tell me whether the following items are available without a prescription in Brazil:

DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone).

Minoxidil (topical) for hair growth.

Sagami 0. 002 condoms.

Go to an independently owned pharmacy, they can give you things much easier.

DHEA -- doubt you will find this steroid in a pharmacy.

Minoxidil should not be a problem.

I have used most of the major pharmacies and even have discount cards. I like the website for this one:

https://www.drogariavenancio.com.br/

As for the Sagami Japanese condoms, you might want to buy a supply locally or online before you leave.

I would be careful using eBay though, this was what I found in the description:

Find many great new & used options and get the best deals for Sagami Japan Original 002 Very Thin Condoms.

Keep in mind that pharmacy clerks get a commission (which is why they will often throw a tag in your basket). Prices can be negotiated though I have never tried to do this in English. Many of the clerks do speak English, but they may suddenly not understand you.

[Rio Bob]

Want to go to Sao Paulo, but Scandallo and Bomboa is not open, so not sure of choices. Also, with termas closed in Rio, what is choices are there? The escort sites either has face blurred out or none piqued my interest.

It looks as of now July 28th, the border closure has not been extended. I called the airline I'm booking a flight with, and they said, travel should be open if there is no change before the 29th. There have been no updates, but still waiting. Anyone have an update / opinion on this?

I'll be flying in from Portugal. (non-USA Citizen).

Cheers.

Can I politely suggest, especially given the remit of our forum, that members maybe try to ignore posts about the Brasilian president.

There is a large proportion of the population, mostly but not all evangelicals (charismatic christians), who simply "believe" and voted accordingly. While that might seem nonsensical to the rest, not all of them are technically unintelligent in general matters, and some of the supporters of the current regime have academic qualifications in some field or other. All those believers cannot be persuaded otherwise It's a rather Brasilian phenomenon that we don't see on such a scale in other countries.

It doesn't affect the logistics of mongering (other than staying out of arguments and demonstrations). Nor does it affect your personal safety in a general sense. The So Paulo leaders for instance brought in much stricter responses that in many other areas, and in defiance of the edicts from above, with the result that many anti-covid-19 safety measures we're implemented faster than many western cities. Other parts of the country may not have the same leanings towards what most would call scientific precautions.

It would perhaps economize on scrolling if posts about the Brasilian President could even perhaps be thought of as clickbait, and just find a jeitinho around them. .

Stay safe, enjoy!

[Sperto]

If somebody wants to learn about Covid-19 I doubt they'll look in a monger forum. Wouldn't it be good if someone creates a Covid-19 thread in the Brazil forum? If somebody looks for information on sex travel throughout Brazil they have to to dig through many pages of Covid-19 information in the General Info and Rio de Janeiro thread.

The whole discussion of "herd immunity" is flawed as it applies to this pandemic. There is no natural herd immunity to many of the viruses that are problematic for humans. Except where there are vaccines. The whole concept was developed from / for vaccination programs. There is no "herd immunity" to the common cold (4 different coronaviruses), to any type of measles, to mumps, to smallpox, to chicken pox, to polio, . Etc. Etc. Viruses or bacteria. Only with vaccines. In theory there could be a natural herd immunity without vaccines, but I don't know of a single example. So. Not something we should hang our hopes on.

I believe a vaccine can be called a controlled, mild form of infection. I don't believe the common influenza vaccines are 100% effective, but with national vaccination campaigns you can starve the virus.

One of the scarier thoughts is that you can be infected by the coronavirus multiple times. Fortunately, I have not seen reports from what I consider the more reliable news outlets. It is likely (let's hope) that some patients were carrying around the virus and never really eradicated it from their system.

Oh, I'm very much aware. Thanks, but I'm not the one you should be telling.

Thanks G90, "Herd Immunity" info is much appreciated.
