Rio de Janeiro Reports

[QUOTE=Bubba Boy;1124807]You have a better chance of getting robbed while leaving balcony bar than while being in Tijuca or centro.[/QUOTE]Stress Centro during the [i]day[/i] when the prives are open. Regarding Copa, I heard some gunfire near Barbarella earlier this week. I walk all around Centro at night and have never heard gunfire in Centro on this or previous trips.

[QUOTE=Hungrystud101;1124753]I am trying to understand why there is such a disparity between the prices at a Termas and the girls at the Privies? It just doesn't make sense. Nowhere else in hobby land (near as I can figure) can you get the same pussy for the same range of prices.[/QUOTE]I know its also that way in Jakarta, Tokyo, Osaka, and San Jose CR. The better the place, the more convenient, and the more well known, the higher the prices. Some girls don't have the personality for work like that. They have to be able to be dependable, sexually open, work late nights, and treat every customer like he's the biggest stud in Brasil. In the prives, not much is required except show up in the morning, suck and fuck, go home.

I stopped by T502 again this evening. Very busy. Saw the girl that I've been banging there and was thinking of giving her the number for TLN. But she was hooked up with some guy already, so I wasn't going to wait and just left. Walked down the street, lots of little funk parties going on in alleyways all over, maybe 70 people each. Lots of booty shakin.

I'm leaving early so won't report more girls, but just wanted to mention some things that were reinforced to me during the trip.

If you want quality sessions with GFE, BBBJ, CIM, etc focus on the mid-range termas, bars and apartments. Last time, I wasted a lot of time in BA85, U210, VM etc with nothing to show but blue balls, a stack of spitty condoms, and a high score. This time, I didn't even stop by.

If a girl is not providing as promised, you can give her a second chance to honor it, and if that fails, then walk out like I did. I used to suggest here that people should have done that, but always wondered if I'd actually stick my dick back in my robe and go make an issue of it when out in the same situation. I can say that it felt good fighting the good fight, and I busted nut elsewhere later so all was well and it was the appropriate thing to do.

If you want to see the potential of a girl, repeat her at least once within days after meeting. The repeat will make the possibilities clear.

Values can be had at Balcony in the early morning like 3 AM. If your schedule can handle it and if you don't need to sleep. :)

Club Florida is off my list. T502 is a better value in every aspect.

Staying in Centro is more of a hassle than it is worth. The price is a little cheaper, it's close to the good spots, but it's way too much walking and way too hard to find food at night. This said after 2 times staying here. I'd rather pay +40 USD per night hotel, stay in Copa, and ride the metro to Centro like I used to do.

Sadly I'm near the end of yet another great trip to Brazil. Having had my fill of buceta, cachaça, & açaí, my only complaint is that I can't stay longer. But there's work to be done and besides I'll be on my way to the Big Apple and Europe for more debauchery not so long from now. I just want to give my impressions of the Termas I visited and Rio in general.

First I want to say that I am impressed with how little by little they are improving the infrastructure around the city. Good to see that at least some of the increased costs are going towards making things better. Love the workout stations along the beach; hope that they open up a "Muscle Beach" type of place somewhere in Copa or Ipa. Some of the buses are now equiped with televisions that display the weather and the latest news (fancy). Look forward to the day when the metro extends out to the Jardim Botanico and Barra da Tijuca.

I don't waste my time with the low-end termas / bordellos. I'm rather picky and have enough trouble finding the type of woman that I like (skinny with a nice little butt) at the mid-range Termas. The only Termas I really consider high-range is Centaurus and they annoy me too much, plus the quality of gals aren't any better than at the mid-range places. As an aside I will admit that I've had good times there in the past but the last time I visited the place was perhaps two years ago. Anyway .....

L'uomo. This place had more thin gals than at the other termas I went to. Most of the gals here are dark skinned. This doesn't matter to me but I'm sure to other folks it might. Had some good nights here a couple of times.

Monte Carlo. Didn't do much for me this time. Mostly thick / fat women. Some visits this place is pretty good. This wasn't one of those visits.

Solarium. Has to be the most boring of the mid-range places. For my tastes the ladies are mostly average. Some decent lookers. Some scrawny chicks. But man is it place lame. At least MC has a whiskeria where you can hide and watch sports until some fresh meat shows up. Didn't spend much time here.

Termas 65 - They made some nice improvements to this Termas located in O Centro. No where near as big or hectic as the nearby 4X4 & of course far fewer women. Not too many slim women from what I saw. Many gals with the "bundão". The few fit women I met there I had already been with during previous visits. Nice that they have remodeled the boate. It looks much nicer now. Plus they opened a whiskeria on the level below for guys who like to keep their business suits on (no robes allowed there).

4X4 - This has been my most visited termas for a few years now. The overall quality isn't really better than the other places but do to the vast numbers of women employed there; if you stay long enough you'll eventually find something you like. Once again, plenty of fat chicks and many of the gals that fit MY type I have already been with two or three times (and there's nothing the Devil hates more than repetition). Thankfully this is a very festive place that has a party-like atmosphere so it's easy to while away the time by chatting & drinking .... occasionally screwing as well. Sometimes I retreat to the smaller boate to take a quick break from the scene and give time for new faces to show up. Like with T65, there is a whiskeria that's clothes only. I'm sure it comes in handy for those business fellows who don't have time to change into a robe and lounge around for half of the day. Had some good times here as usual. Too many women trying to be my namorada and asking me for marriage. How silly - even demons know better than to marry girls that work in termas!

I also happened to pass by Lovely Rio massage and check out the talent. Only a couple of women there at 8PM on a Saturday night. But they were both attractive? How did this happen? One was a pretty and slim morena. The other was a blonde girl who was wearing a white gown (so I couldn't fully appreciate her figure but she appeared to at least not be fat). Didn't pull the trigger at that time but I was sorely tempted.

Hell, I have a few hours left in Rio, no better way to kill some time.

Thank you for the very interesting and entertaining POVs. Definitely agree, Centro has less and less to offer these days, for night time activities. One by one things are closing and disappearing fast. Praca Maua, use to be nice hub of activity, with plenty to offer. These days it's virtually a ghost town.

- DSK[/QUOTE]DSK, you have too much fun! I think you were down in Sao Paulo too. Which scene do you prefer for debauchery?

I prefer the whiskerias vs termas. The robes make the termas seem like, err. A gay bath house. Also the short robes make the bigger guys seem reminiscent of Tony Soprano standing in his kitchen on the HBO show eating gabagul. Then I want to laugh. One day, one of these guys is going to punch me for laughing. :)

[QUOTE=Exec Talent;1121879]Rio is not cheap. Neither getting there nor staying there. Flights from most destinations are $1000+ and hotels are $100+ a day. With a $2K budget that doesn't leave you money for much else.[/QUOTE]I fly from NY and I always get $750. $900. Just get the tickets 2 or 3 months ahead of time.

[QUOTE=Rafzuh; 1121868]Hi all,

Without browsing through 1000's of posts, anyone know where to go to get the best deals on a flight+hotel in Rio?

I don't want to spend more than $700-$800 on a flight since my total budget would be $2k.

I've been reviewing destinations such as Havana, Sosua DR, and now I'm also interested in Rio. I'll be making my choice at the end of March to leave mid-April.

Any advice is appreciated[/QUOTE]Just get your ticket 2 or 3 month ahead of time. I fly from NY and always pay bet $700. $900. The $900 is a filght during carneval ticket.

The only thing holding me back from going to Rio is that I only speak english.

Can anyone please tell me roughly what percentage of the girls at termas speak english?

I tried learning portuguese, but I just don't have a gift for languages.

(As a side note, I was planning a trip to Sao Paulo but several people told me that the percentage of escorts there who spoke english is almost zero, so I decided not to go.)

Yours is the perspecitive of the clueless gringo tourist. The robe deal IS for the Brazilian business crowd. So they don't come home to their wives reeking of cigarette smoke, perfume, and with whatever got left in a pocket.

[/QUOTE]I'll offer a newbie persepective since I have been to both but only once. Sao Paulo is so big it is a bit intimidating. I met english speaking Garotas at the hotel bar. I called escorts and almost none that answered spoke any English at all."Spanish" I heard. I can't do that either. SP's are everywhere in Brazil. I think you need a basic understanding of Porto to get around.

Rio on the other hand is smaller and it is easier to find english speaking cabbies. It is easy to get to the Termas and hooker bars that are concentrated in Cobacabana and many SP's could speak enough english to make the transaction. I was way less confused and intimidated by Rio. My thoughts.

I will buy Roseta Stone Porto I think

[QUOTE=Hungrystud101; 1124753]I am getting ready for my second trip to Rio. I speak no Porto. I was going to hit Monte Carlo and L'umo and maybe cast my lot at the Balconi.

I am trying to understand why there is such a disparity between the prices at a Termas and the girls at the Privies? It just doesn't make sense. Nowhere else in hobby land (near as I can figure) can you get the same pussy for the same range of prices. R60-R80 at Tigres vs R450 at Centaurus. I am tempted to go to a privy but I am worried that I will end up on the wrong end of a stick-up. And whos going to pay R470 at Barberellas when they can get a girl at the balconi from R150-R250?

I just don't get it?[/QUOTE]Termas have a much better facilites. Robes, flip flops, Steam room, Sauna, Showers, Towels, atmosphere etc.

None of my friends that I go with to speak porto. Money talks.

[QUOTE=Puta Playa;1125119]I prefer the whiskerias vs termas. The robes make the termas seem like, err.

My ex girlfriend saw it and asked what was I doing at a gay spa. If she only knew.

[QUOTE=Hungrystud101;1125177]I will buy Roseta Stone Porto I think[/QUOTE]Its funny how one will take on a huge task like learning a new language, even a limited-use one like Porto or Thai, just to make it easier to find good P4P sessions, isn't it? Sex is the best motivator.

All kinds of extraordinary things can happen for places with good P4P. People want to learn their language, do business there, etc.

On the business side of it, I've seen supply contracts given to Brasilian companies when they were barely capable of doing the work, just because the guys buying want excuses to go to Rio and bang WG's. Then since the supplier is so crappy, a whole lot of frequent trips are required to keep things in check and make sure they aren't 'messing up down there. ' The Brasilian companies know this and in my experience the first time you hit the country they will take you to the best ho house in their town, so you can see what you get to do when you work with them. Smart guys. I have to think that a good P4P industry plays some small factor in rise of Brasil. Everybody wants to 'work with cheap suppliers in Rio.' We know what kind of work is done and what is supplied. :)
