First trip to SP, lots of questions.
I am heading to SP mid February (after Carnival) and have been doing a lot of reading here on the various entertainment I can explore while there. This is a super long post. Sorry about that.
For context, I am a middle-aged American gringo. I have never been to Brazil and only have basic polite phrases in Portuguese, but can manage in French / Spanish.
I've hobbied in the US, UK, Germany, France, Poland, and Japan. I appreciate the various cultures of service. I hate the American style AMP, really like Artemis FKK, and also dug the BJ-only bars I found in Tokyo.
It sounds like the two main types of hobbying in Brazil are Clinicas and Clubs. I prefer an incall situation, so that's great for me.
As I plan my trip, I have a couple of questions:
Where to stay?
I assume the balance of my adventures will be 60/40 clinicas / clubs due to cost. Is there an neighborhood or area that makes sense to stay to reduce the Uber cost?
Dress Code?
I am pretty casual. I won't be bringing dress clothes. I assume that's not a problem in the clinicas, but maybe I will feel out of place in clubs?
Massage?
Honestly, I would almost always prefer a great massage + happy ending over a mediocre full service session. It sounds to me like the culture in Brazil emphasizes the "Illusion of Passion" so maybe full service will be the thing, but I really don't want to go somewhere expecting a good massage only to get a US-style "rub-and-tug". Are there places that are better suited for a real massage+?
Fake asses.
I. am not into this, but from the few escort pages I have looked at. There seem to be a LOT of surgically enhanced asses. Can someone explain the appeal?
Pricing.
So, it sounds like the clubs charge a cover charge that is inclusive of a few drinks. But while 300 brl seems fine. Do they tell you how much things cost, or do you just have to wing it and hope you are covered or have enough remaining cash when you leave? As for play pricing. It sounds like I should expect club girls to quote me as high as 2500 brl, but even in the high end places, the most I should pay is 1000 brl, and then only for a top tier girl. I am fine saying no to girls. I am so used to the US strip club hustle. What is standard pricing at clinicas?
Duration?
At the clubs, is it per pop or by time? Most scenes I have explored seem to be very focused on rapid turnover (which I get as a business model), but some places in Japan and the UK have a more time-focused approach which means multiple pops are available and also you don't feel like your partner is rushing you. I like a good long BJ / HJ, and hate it when a girl just starts cranking away for the pop instead of focusing on the tease / build up.
Post-op Trans?
I have never been somewhere where this is a thing, but it seems to be mentioned enough in Brazil discussions that I feel like I should be better educated. Do Clinicas / clubs employ post-op providers identifying as female without disclosing it? Or is that something that people seek out? No judgement on my part, but I would rather know and not feel duped or put in an awkward spot.
Any other advice is much appreciated. I plan on taking out cash in-country for the best exchange rate. I am a big guy, but would rather avoid conflict, so if there are areas to avoid or classic scams (like the touts in Tokyo who try to lure you into places) that would be great to know too.
Thanks to everyone for this great community!
