Rio de Janeiro Reports

Hi,

I have been a holiday regular at Centaurus for about a decade.

Standard payment for foreigners is to pay entrance and one 40 minute program upfront. Current price is R450.

Locals and foreigners who are regulars can pay just the entrance fee upfront. Once you pick a girl - and we all know that you will - you go downstairs to the reception to pay before you head up to the rooms.

A few locals and even fewer foreigners who are very well known at Centaurus are allowed to settle the entire bill upon exit. I find myself in this category but this is after many many years of knowing the managers.

[QUOTE=John Cricket]What pisses me off is that antis- are full-bored Marxists when it comes to sex work, but no other form of work.[/QUOTE]Well, that's not entirely accurate. There are elements from BOTH the left and the right that work together on "anti-prostitution" laws and policies. It's just their reasoning and/or motivation that differs. For the left, it's about stopping "exploitation" of women (e. G., NOW) and for the right, it's more about promoting certain religious or societal "values" (evangelical groups, etc.) since men searching for carnal pleasures outside the marriage or girlfriend framework is somehow bad for the society.

Junior[/QUOTE]I most definitely am not a regular at Centaurus. On my infrequent visits I pay just the R100 entrance. The other R20 is the tourist tax (I´m a Brit, but I expect they think I am Brazilian). Never really understood the arrogance of this place. The BS of returning to pay for the session before kills it for me.

[QUOTE=Puta Playa]My employer keeps the about 70% of my revenue as well, I wouldn't call it exploitation, even though I end up having a lot of sex due to work, sometimes it's with girls that annoy me or might be dangerous to my health, and I get to keep only a small fraction of the money that I'm bringing in. :)[/QUOTE]That´s just sad! Sounds like you need to change your pimp. I mean, your the one with the sore orifice and taking all the risk. I don't know, but I think you might be being exploited.

I dont agree that they are being taking advantage of. They are provided a safe place to work and make more money than most brazilians. Google makes billions off their emplyees and the employees are able to make 100k or a million a year. The company has a right to make as much as possible. They take the risks and deserve the rewards. Start your own business. It´s not so easy.

last friday, the day before the romp with t69 and ipm (report here: [url]http://internationalsexguide.info/forum/showpost.php?p=1053226[/url]), i managed to squeeze in a visit to 4*4. my first observation is that it was significantly less crowded than during my previous visits. not empty, mind you, but one could simply walk through the main boite without having to push lots of bodies aside; the vip boite upstairs was closed when i checked around 6. second observation, since the introduction of the electronic tag key system, there seems to be no more asking for tips from the barkeepers and waiters. third, the part of the main boite where the glass-walled shower was is now a simple stripper pole (not used all night …). and forth, sadly the strip shows have become much less wild, tame almost by comparison to what i had seen during previous visits.

i went to 4*4 my usual way, with the metro. this is the safest and fastest way to travel to centro from the copa in my mind. plus it is cheap: 2.8r is the price for a single fair now. since i always select the premier copacabana hotel right at the sequiera campos metro station, it does not get any more convenient than using the metro to get to downtown. got off at uruguaiana, walked the 2 blocks, bingo.

the selection of girls was again great. less heavy on the ink and the big bunda than what i experienced previously, and more up my own personal alley of taste. i saw more than 50 girls, and at least 30 of them were eminently doable for me, with 10 or so with looks that put them right into my wheelhouse. my caipiroska and i took our time and made the rounds. chatted with a couple of really pretty girls, but didn’t feel the greatest vibes and so moved on.

then i saw a girl in an entirely different category. long legs, tight body, well-proportioned rack (not quite ipm-preferred type of huge headlights, but still …), a flawless face, with perfect teeth and ice-melting smile. medium-light skinned mulatta, looking a bit like whitney houston in her younger years. and her bunda just danced all by itself :d in a way that you can only see in brazil. her name is “funny” (i asked three times, and i think that this is really what she said.) she was dancing on the stage (with her clothes on) and spinning on that little trapeze thing. i was watching, mesmerized.

of course she noticed me, and of course she smiled and came over. she let her bunda grind against little euro in the rhythm of the music, again as only brazilian women can. my resistance was broken ;). instead of grabbing her by the hand and running off to a cabina like a bloody rookie, i managed to engage in a face-saving good half hour of chatting, drinking, dfk (super-hot, btw), and dancing. well, dancing is saying too much: she (or better yet: her bunda, which seemed strangely detached from the rest of her spine in its rocking motion) did all the dancing, and little euro was standing ramrod-straight and getting danced into. [yes, i am getting wood thinking about it.]

somehow most garotas seem to prefer the cabinas at the very end of the hallways, and so we had to wait a few minutes before our room was ready. we spent the time kissing and groping, which we then continued in the room. it was a great gfe one-hour session. pop one came way too soon. :(. i collapsed, we cuddled, and i think i even dozed off for a couple of minutes with her draped all over me. she woke me, and we went for round two. i had safely finished again about 5 minutes (rough guess) before the hour mark, but she was not done; so she urged me to continue. the phone rang, and she ignored it. another five minutes later, relief for her too. then we both took a quick shower in the room. there was definitely no clock-watching involved.

i went to the sauna, another shower, and relax room, before i returned to the boite. with my next caipiroska in hand i made my way towards the stage, and funny was dancing again. when she saw me, she smiled and took off her bikini top. i love brazil!!! she did a little show, seemingly just for me, then came over and had me hook her bikini top shut. special :). we chatted and kissed for a while, and of course i bought her another drink. then the regular strip show started. two really athletic performances from really pretty girls! i watched leaning against the front bar, i.e. from point-blank range. note in passing: one girl was fair-skinned and blond; for you friends of a lot of ink: she has a huge tattoo of something like a black panther on her hip, with the tail of the thing wrapping around her bunda and extending into her crotch. must have hurt like shit to get this tattoo. i found it kind of off-putting, too, but not so much that i did not let her dfk me after her show. the other dancer also came over and ground up against me and engaged in dfk. the three of us had a round of drinks, and i felt like a king. and then funny came back up from the whiskeria.

well, i am guessing that panther-girl and the other stripper were not exactly funny’s friends. funny moved in, shielded me from the other two girls with her body and reclaimed territory on me via a great dfk effort. i let her :d, and the other two girls somehow just moved on. after another half hour of drinking, kissing, and chatting i decided that i wanted to catch a metro before 11 pm. i told funny that i wanted to go. she said i walk with you. i said i am fine. she said “no programa; just walk with you”. hmmm, ok, so took my hand like we are a couple of young lovers, and she walked me right into the locker room and kissed me goodbye. the old locker room lady smiled broadly. gdp-jealousy is a beautiful thing to behold. too bad i only had a couple of days in rio; or else something more long-term might have been possible with funny.

I have to admit, all this Centaurus talk on these boards piqued my curiosity. I told myself I would never set foot in a place like that strictly out of principle - I'm not down with the whole paying everything up front crap. Well, it's the principle and more so the [b]exorbitant[/b] prices!

I landed in Rio yesterday and made a trip to 4x4. For the first time ever, I did not see anything I liked over there and I was there from 7p-9p. I'm probably the first monger ever to land in Rio in the morning, have plenty of time to rest up, and not session the first night! Ha. Anyway, I figured since I didn't session the first night, I'll just give Centaurus a go. It wouldn't necessarily be blowing my budget out of the water, I having not sessioned the night before and all.

So I get to Centaurus on a Thursday night around 8:30p. This place happens to be 2 blocks from the apartment I am staying at in Ipanema. I figured this will be a one-shot deal - go in, pick someone you vibe with, do a session, and try to pull her out of the terma for some possibly lower cost programas. Well, lower cost is relative of course. Any outside programma will be lower than paying for 40 mins at an upscale Zona Sul terma, which are all $R310 and above unless you get in early for a discount (Luomo, MC) or it's some weekly coupon special (MC, Solarium).

I pay upfront the R$450 gringo price. I knew what I was getting into and was planning to session anyway, so no argument from me to the front desk. Inside the boite, I would say there are about 60 girls there and maybe 25 guys. The ratio was quite good. As far as the talent pool, I'll have to admit that I am pretty impressed. There were a handful of 9's and plenty of 8's. Pretty much a notch above Solarium. I also noticed that a lot of girls there speak a fair amount of English, mostly learned in the boite I reckon.

Since these girls know most customers already have the programa locked into their entry fee, they are pretty damn aggressive here. First girl I meet and she latches on pretty tight. She was quite cute though, reminded me of porn star Micah Moore. I talked to her for a bit, then walked around some more. For some reason, I ended up back talking to that same first girl - Cindy. Had a pretty good vibe from her, I guess. After some drinks, we went up to the cabine for a 40-minute session. The cabine was quite roomy, had nice decor, and a nice full size bed. As for the session itself, it was nothing special or wild. More like love making, which I enjoy also. So I got her number and figured I would try to make plans with her in a day or 2.

I went back down to the boite just to look around and savor the moment. After all, I'm not coming back to Centaurus again. Or will I? Damn, I wish I were rich and that these prices didn't matter to me! It would be my favorite watering hole just purely on the stone-cold stunners there, I think. I ended up running into an old friend from another terma. We sat down for a drink and did some catching up. Of course the girl Cindy that I sessioned with came down and saw me with this other girl. She's probably mad, but oh well. I was just chatting with the other girl, so we'll see.

In conclusion, I would say I really like Centaurus and if I were independently wealthy, I would definitely frequent the place.

I was trying to tell this group that the women are HEAD and SHOULDERS above but the price is crazy! I limit myself to once a trip and try to get a number for a outside session.

Same as always, but just more attention because of the Worldcup and OS.
Brazil always had this problem. IMO this is a majorly a domestic problem as the average gringo Rio-sextourist will not encounter this problem.

I think it's good if the police do a thorough clean-up in Fortaleza and Recife etc to scare away the the perverts.

i beg to differ. where is **** prostitution on the rise? no way!!

if you don't go to truck stops in the middle of nowhere or other exotic places, you have a hard time finding a minor.

if you don't watch out you find an occasional potential minor, but very rare. that article is a total bs.

I am not sure if that was mentioned here before, but the old bag who used to watch over the girls at Centaurus " Tia ??" has defected to 4x4 where I saw her last week. She probably got pissed off by the shitty management treatment that we all have faced.

Also, the gerente of MC terma who moved to 4x4 a couple of years ago is back at MC.

p.s. I belong to team : BOYCOTT CENTAURUS

Mongers-
I never understood why some of you are aggressively anti-Centaurus and call for its boycott. Yes, it is the most expensive Termas in Rio de Janeiro. However, it also has the hottest white women of all the venues in Rio de Janeiro (by far IME). Centaurus management is not outrageously bad; they tell you what the price is and what it includes, and you get exactly what you pay for. Also, the drink prices at Centaurus are relatively low and the fuckrooms are large and include a full size bed. Essentially it is a high end venue offering a high end product at a (relatively) high end price. There are plenty of cheaper venues for those who don't want to or can't spend the money for Centaurus; this is fine, but don't get mad that there exists a high end venue for those who are willing and/or able to spend the money to enjoy it. Brasil is not a budget destination anymore and will not be for the foreseeable future.

Amen to everything you said. Having finally gone there, it gave me some perspective. It's a place where if I could afford to go, I definitely would all the time as the choice of women are a notch above all the other upscale termas I've been to in Rio.

The first couple times I went to Rio, I went there, and yes, the girls were attractive, but the services was mixed. I even got CBJs there. The problem I have is with their mercenary attitude. Having you pay in advance for a girl sends the clear message that they don't trust you. If you want a second girl, you have to go to the front desk to pay in advance. To my knowledge, this is the only therma where they don't trust you to settle your bill when you leave, and their mercenary attitude really stinks. Yes, I understand if you are Brazilian or they know you, you don't have to pay the girl fee in advance, but you still have to pay when you enter.
