Rio de Janeiro Reports

[AcesOnTheRiver]

I have 2 words for you: HOLY SHIT! Looks like you really had a blast.

The only thing that's wrong about your trip is 5 days. I recently had to cut my stay short due to an emergency at home, and it really sucked. You need at least 10 days to enjoy Rio and justify that long flight. Although I do understand you guys were there on a mission. Well, at least your buddy will remember his bachelor party, LOL.

AA does fly to GIG in season. Based on the past history, I believe from November to March.

And Delta is about to start in December. Still 10 long hours, though.

Nice, thanks for the flight info!! Can't wait until I'm back although it might be a couple years.

Great that you had a blast and agree with you for Brazil over Colombia but do you really find the girls cheaper in Brazil?

Def cheaper in RIO for me. I'm mostly getting girls over 90% of the time from the working girl night clubs (not strip clubs, not termas, not brothels, etc) In Rio I got girls this trip between Casablanca, Dolce Vita, and Marrakesh night clubs. In Cartagena I get them from La Dolce vita, Space, Delrium. So I would say that's a pretty perfect level playing field for price comparison. Between the 100's+ girls me and my boys must have gotten from Cartagena, we have always paid between 600-900 local currency for 5-6 hours (between midnight and 5 am- this is the fixed routine with my boys) We did the exact same routine in Rio and also paid between 600-900 local currency for the 30+ girls we got. But, Brazil money converts at 5/1 and Colombian pesos coverts at 4/1 (and Colombia used to be only 3/1 pre covid, and 2/1 when I first went in 2014).

So I definitely found Brazil cheaper, statistically I would say 25% cheaper based on the average numbers. This is strictly speaking for Cartagena and Medellin vs Rio, and working girl night clubs for take out. Not smaller towns, streetwalkers, websites/social media, strip clubs etc.

P.S.- Cartagena has been ruined by tourists (prolly myself included) over the past 5 years dramatically. Girls so stuck up (with shitty service) now they even quote you in USD dollars, in increments of 100's LOL. FK that. It doesn't look like Brazil has gotten there, not yet at least.

At Monte Carlo wore the robe.

I was in Rio one time and I believe it was at Monte Carlo where I saw a couple of guys wearing monogrammed robes LOL! Well they were big guys so I guess it was a good idea to bring their own personal robes that were a good fit for them. Worst robes in town were at Centaurus man all tattered and shit. Invest in the business why don't you? I mean you're charging enough!

[Nounce]

I always shake my head in disbelief when I see guys in street clothes in a terma...., kkkk.

I think they should sell season ticket. I would buy one and go there to use the facility at all hours. LOL.

Main Takeaways:

-Casablanca was the best club for us, as we got the most girls from there. Dolce Vita is hit or miss, and same with Marakesh. Casablanca had over 25 girls every single night if you go around 11:00 pm- midnight.

-Mabs is crap. Would never get a girl from there, mainly look like drugged up, unfriendly, working girls, no thanks. and theres always only like 5-7 girls there , so its never gonna happen.

Thank you for your report and suggestions. I've never been to Casablanca and will now go on my next trip next week! Agree about Mabs. Go to 4 x4 next time!

Clearly a lot of us subscribe to the "When in Rome" philosophy.

I personally prefer to be in a robe like the local men. I also feel it creates a certain fraternit as the French put it. You can also get down to business quickly.

(I am tall, but I have nice legs. LOL.)

Didn't don the robe at 4 x4 which we didn't care for so that was good. Just hightailed out of there. At Monte Carlo wore the robe. Several of the girls will get frisky with your thighs. Carol in particular is very hands on and would casually brush my shaft or ball sack. I have absolutely no doubt the ladies across the narrow bar could see me at full attention. Did I give a fuck? Damn I was all out. Not a single fuck to give. 😜.

I subscribe to the "When in Rome" philosophy too, just not in this case. Kkk.

It is ok to wear street clothes inside RJ termas. I do 100% of the time. I know the perks from easy access, and yeah, I am a party pooper for not going along with the local tradition, but I still prefer to wear my street clothes when visiting the Termas in order to hold onto my phone in my jean pockets rather than to rely on flimsy terma-robe pockets provided.

Having a phone with me when I am with a terma girl and not worrying about the damn thing slipping out of my robe while I am distracted is very important to me ever since I began to use google translate + whatsapp. So, I will stick to my street clothes when in RJ.

I have 2 words for you: HOLY SHIT! Looks like you really had a blast. Well, at least your buddy will remember his bachelor party, LOL.

And he still wants to get married after that? Me and my wife went to Brazil on our first anniversary and even though I could not partake in the chicks, just seeing them was enough for me to know I did not want to be married anymore. I left the morning we got back.

...... in Comparison to Colombia (been there many times), Brazilian girls provide Wayyyyyyyyy better service, more humble, nicer bodies, and it's about 30% cheaper. The girls genuinely care about you. Lately, in Colombia the girls are stuck up and service is decent at best. For example in Brazil of the 5 girls I hooked up with, didn't have to ask even one of them for a BBBJ, it was standard. This is unheard of in Colombia.

- I loved Brazil 10 x over Colombia. Only downside is coming from NYC, I don't think I can do that flight as frequently compared to Colombia (14 hours vs. 5 hours nonstop). That's the only downside. But no question Rio is the better option!! This is coming from someone whos been to Colombia about 8-10 times, and first time to Brazil. The girls are simply just nicer and just as hot if not hotter!! And cheaper, what more does a monger want

Great that you had a blast and agree with you for Brazil over Colombia but do you really find the girls cheaper in Brazil?

P.S. Macau Saunas customers have to change their clothes before entering the main lounge and pool areas. I don't mind changing my clothes in these joints because a number of them are true 5 star bordellos with 1st class amenities. I mean who would mind taking off their clothes and stepping into a shower with a sexy Vietnamese girl first thing, to get cleaned up properly before putting on your fake silk sauna robe and entering the main areas. Still, one has to be very careful about the phone slipping out of one's pocket when least aware. Ha ha. It has happened to me a couple of times.

Background- went with 7 other people, all of us between 25-35 for a bachelor party, stayed in Copacabana in a 8 bedroom rooftop penthouse. First time for all of us.

Nice, detailed report. Good you had a good time in RJ for your first time in Brazil. Interesting using a intermediary to set up Bachelor Party and Yacht Party. Mab's is definitely hit or miss (its heyday has long passed).

NYC to GIG can be hard without a Non-Stop Flight. Hope you can visit again soon despite the long flight.

AA does fly to GIG in season. Based on the past history, I believe from November to March.

And Delta is about to start in December. Still 10 long hours, though.

How much does it matter what time you go to a prive / massagem / clinica?

The received wisdom among Medellin regulars (including me) is that the best time to hit the cheap Centro casas is either at 11 am, or about 1 hour after said establishments open. If you go too early when or after they open, enough girls will not have arrived yet. If you go too late, the lineup will have already been picked clean and run through by the rush of Colombian guys sneaking out of work for a lunch hour session. So you get a sort of "sloppy seconds" effect. The exceptions might be the higher-end, lower-volume casas outside Centro, like Energy and Loutron.

RJ regulars: do you believe that this wisdom holds true for Rio as well? Is the best time to go in the late morning, around 11, or about an hour or so after a given establishment opens? Or are the RJ prives / massagems / clinicas less time-sensitive than their counterparts in the Medellin casas?

Would you say that there is any difference in this regard between the cheaper and more numerous establishments in Centro and their pricier counterparts in Copacabana and elsewhere in the city?

Wait so in 4 x4 you're expected to walk around nude in a robe? Personally I wouldn't give a damn. Easier access. What about your feet though and do you get a locker for your things?

I've RTFF for my upcoming trip and missed this little nugget of detail.

You RTFF? Quick Search Results.

I had my luggage in the locker room and the lady who gives you your robe and sandals looked after it.

3) The locker lady is a bit, um, jaded. LOL. I didn't see any robes after standing in front of the lockers for a few minutes then went looking for them and got yelled at. Don't worry, she'll come with slippers and your robe.

Greeted at the front desk by a lady who speaks very good English and was quite welcoming. Dropped all my things in the locker, changed into the threadbare robe and dollar store flip flops. Kept my phone and 200 rs.

When you first enter the reception area you are told the pricing structure and then given a locker key with a number. As I recall, the pricing consisted of your entry, the cost of the room that you choose and the cost of a girl for an hour and you pay before you leave (plus your drinks). I went into the locker room and changed into a robe and flipflops......

Bubba Boy on Termas
As a PSA to we few, I have gone so far as to cut and paste Bubba Boy's guide. I concur with all his wisdom, with some notes of my own.

A Termas works like this: You get greeted by a receptionist at the entrance, they will speak English at the places mentioned above, some in Centro may not speak as much but you will get by. She will give you a key to a locker. You go in to the locker room and put everything in there and change into a robe that is provided. That's right a bath robe. You can elect to wear your Calvin Kliens under the robe or you can go commando and let your boys be free. Flip flops are provided for your feet.
