Lisbon Guide V: Apartments
The standard Lisbon mongering deal. All over the city and suburbs are apartments where sex costs €20 to €100.
There may be one woman, living alone, discreetly servicing a couple of clients per day in a neat two-bedroom apartment (one bedroom for sleeping, the other as ‘office’). This is the modus operandi of Suzy, out in Carcavelos. Or two ladies may set up together, sharing the housekeeping, as it were. This is how Leticia does her business. Or you may find a mama-san running a team of four, five, or six.
These multi-staff apartments can be magnificent. You arrive like a sultan visiting the harem; six beautiful girls approach one by one, kiss you on the cheek (rubbing breasts against you in the process, or even giving your cock an exploratory squeeze) and announce their names. Mama-san returns with a wicked smile to ask ‘who will you choose to quench your sexual thirst?’ and you make your difficult decision - or ask her to repeat the parade.
But other times, the apartment is a scramble of clients on their way in and out, hiding in bathroom, kitchen or closet while the girls keep the show moving: at rush hour, six babes to a three bedroom apartment can seem like a French farce. Mur does not mind sitting in the ‘waiting room’ hearing his predecessor loosening the ceiling plaster and the parquet floor, but he is less thrilled to meet him in the bathroom.
Another drawback is the survival of restrictive, even communist practices in what should be a free market activity. If several honeys work one apartment, they try to share the clients around. So if hideous ‘Bruna’ has not opened her plump legs all afternoon but ‘Carol’ and ‘Ana’, being more attractive, have grossed €500 by fucking the entire Portugal soccer team, then in the evening only Bruna will be available – “sorry, we have four girls, but one has gone out to eat and the other two are occupied for the next hour, so... there’s just little me, see?” says Bruna, hopefully, as you back away from her threatening bulk. The fact that you can hear Carol and Ana giggling in the kitchen makes this situation annoying.
These places usually charge €40 or €50 for half an hour, not an enormous sacrifice, win or lose. The most luxurious venues with more beautiful girls ask €80, or €100 the hour, and at the bottom end of the market, three flats near Rossio and a couple on Avenida Almirante Reis do €20 quickies. Cheaper than the cheapest SW in Lisbon.
(OK, if you have fucked in Lisbon for €15, don’t tell us about it. Be ashamed.)
If you can turn around in the time, most of these girls will give you a second shot. Mur usually asks for a hand job as round two, often with only five minutes on the clock, and he has seldom been refused.
The chance of good service increases if you can communicate enough to suggest you are not just passing trade. Tell her you have come to Portugal on a long contract and that you are really looking forward to learning the language and enjoying your new country. So, you have just checked out of your hotel and the airport taxi is waiting in the street, but go ahead and lie brazenly. If, like George Washington (but unlike most of his successors) you can’t permit yourself a falsehood, you are unfit for the company of a puta: not for nothing are ‘meretrix' and ‘mendax’ on the same page of the Latin dictionary.
70% of the girls in these flats are Brazilian.
Portuguese, Africans, Eastern Europeans and Asians, in that order, make up the rest. There used to be some excellent Colombian chicas in the cheaper houses, but no longer, for some reason.
Mur will return to the subject of ethnic variety later, if the good Lord of mongerdom spares him to continue this Gospel. He (Mur, not the good Lord) will now bring this report to an abrupt close because Mirage Klub will close shortly and he needs to see Diana.
Which will lead neatly on to the next section, a short one on ‘saunas’.
Recommendation for a late Sunday evening...?
Congratulations on such rich and entertaining information - far more evocative than on any other country page. Truly in line too with the feeling of old world decadence of charming Lisboa.
I am on my first *unaccompanied* trip to Lisbon, arriving this Sunday and free for action from around 2300 onwards. Unfortunately many of the prowlers here seem to operate by day, and services shut down towards 2200, when I look look at the web sites, or call. And the tourist or mafia clubs like Black Tie seem most unappealing.
Any particular recommendations for a first time mongerer? I tried contacting the Russians in Costa da Caparica, but English is not their forte, and could not discern if open late. Can I turn up unannounced? Is the "Mirage Klub" open late (they are on always on voice mail when I call)? Idem Clinique de Massage.. by the way, I love a good massage! Any hot recommendations?
Any phone number for Leticia?
Thank you.
Black Day in the Yellow House
A happy routine. Diana on Mondays, Suzy on Fridays. But even this will not do: a man without variety, whose kitchen is stocked with only two types of food, however delicious – why, that man is on his way to sex prison, or sex cemetery.
So on the ‘marginal’, returning from another trip with the boss, Mur pressed the ejector button in the passenger seat of the hideous SUV. He was catapulted into the air. The parachute opened crisply, and he made a neat landing behind the green fence that shields the Yellow House from prying eyes. It was 1230, lunch hour, a time when most garotas know the programme will begin - but the six women looked sleepy, ill-tempered, unprepared. One of them, Nadia by name, positively scowled as she presented herself. The others were hardly more welcoming. For a moment Muri thought the World Cup had started and he was interrupting a Brazil game. Only one, Natalia, offered a pretty smile. A firm, curvy young blonde - Mur swallowed the baited hook.
It was the last smile he saw. Natalia, native of São Paulo, took her €40, and then did everything in her power to be brisk, functional and unsympathetic.
It’s a fact of life - you sometimes meet a woman who has lost interest or is tired, or has no vocation. Then you get the rubber doll act, or what Brit ‘punters’ call the ‘assisted wank’.
Mur prides himself that with his charm, his smile, his jokes, his man-of-the-world command of tender teasing flattery, not to mention the reassuringly small size of his penis and his straightforward, conservative sexual requests: with all these, he can usually persuade a lady to relax, be receptive, agreeable, even to be active, even to be zestful.
Not this one. Worse than the rubber doll, for she actually put energy and spirit into the project of making her temporary lover feel like a worm in a turd.
Mur loves to unwrap his prize, the eternal teenager’s trembling fingers on the bra hooks. Natalia was having none of that. She shrugged away and undressed with back turned (her panties ironically bore the word Diana). Then she snapped off the light. There’s a standard line when chicas do this: “but you’re so beautiful, if you were ugly I would understand, but do not deprive my eyes of their rich feast by doing this lovely deed with me in darkness.” Or words to that effect. It always works.
Not this time. There was a curt, bad tempered argument, which she won.
Disdaining to touch him more than strictly necessary, and receiving his own caresses frigidly, she rolled the rubber armour into place like a nurse changing a catheter, and began CBJ, which was actually very good during the ten seconds it lasted. Another embarrassing moment as our overweight Oliver Twist begged pathetically for more.
But he had used his ration. Muttering something incomprehensible but clearly unfriendly, Natalia squatted to lube up with a fistful of KY. Mur respectfully, affectionately, suggested beginning in ‘doggy’. To see her face, you would have thought he’d asked if he could spit in her mouth. But she bent, and he entered. She started a groaning and gasping routine that was not acting, the way some chicas do: it was an angry sarcastic parody.
Mur likes to linger through the overture with long gentle strokes. Natalia writhed and bucked in an effort to finish the business, and collapsed face down on the bed to deny his hands access to her splendid breasts. He withdrew, asked her to turn on her back. This invitation to the most ordinary of poses met with another grimace as if the Marquis de Sade had just led his pet goat into the room.
In this position, she impatiently urged, “ Fodgee, fodgee, vai já, vai”: and then warned him that time was up - “Vai já, vão bater á porta”. (They’ll be knocking at the door). Tired of arguing, Mur strained the motor from first gear to top, ejaculated after a spasm that could technically be called an orgasm, and eased himself off Natalia, noticing again what a superb young body she was misusing. And her pussy was potentially a good lively creature, but being loaded with lubricant and attached to a ticking stopwatch, it offered little joy.
He dressed; she went for a shower, a pointedly long one to indicate just how filthy she felt after a four-minute fuck with such a fleabitten dog. She returned to find Mur looking anxiously in the mirror to check if he had broken out in plague spots, or become a werewolf or a Nosferatu. She made some caustic remark that he didn’t catch. He asked what she had said, she tossed her head, snarled, “ ‘squece” (fergeddit) and showed him the door.
In the sunlit street, he blazed with a sense of rejection and a childish powerless resentment he had not felt for years. Like schooldays, being treated with scorn, sarcasm and contempt by a teacher you’ve made every effort to please but who just has to dislike you. There was almost a lump in his scrawny old throat, as he tasted the futility, the waste of time, spirit and money, the pure fuckin’ injustice.
Cheap wholesome lunch at a nearby Brazilian joint restored a little faith in the land of ‘Ordem e Progresso’. But on the train home, he suffered the hangover of this bleak copulation. He thought of young mongers like Pedrassi, starting out on their careers. Experiences like this, at a tender age, could do permanent psychological damage, and perhaps even drive a man to drink, drugs, or monogamy.
Let’s not condemn the whole establishment over one girl’s bad day. But it may be clear from this thousand-word rant that Natalia, of the Yellow House in São João de Estoril, gained a place in the Hall of Shame.
Hell, this is such a crabby review that some reader will probably go out and try her, out of curiosity. Hope it goes better for you, comrade.
