And you say we pay too much. A bit of rant / perspective from sex prison
So I hadn't had any live pussy in months. I know for most this seems unthinkable but I'm getting older and to quote the late Patrice O'Neal "Mostly the reason I fuck now is so I can jerk off later, thinking about it". If it happened to a great man like Patrice, it can happen to me.
Another reason for the long drought is that my local scene has gone to shit since the FOSTA debacle. No local boards to sift out the scammers etc. I had 3 favorites but like me they are starting to age out and, truth be told, I was getting a little bored with them. One shacked up, one had a kid and one graduated to the high end courtesan scene.
The courtesan gave me the name of her booker and I perused the site. With the new set up in the US, this isn't a public site but invitation only. Full of mid 30's women who have been in the game for years and have learned the power of cosmetic surgery and photoshop. But certainly attractive enough and I'm sure the service is good, if lacking in carinhoso.
But the prices, my God! The lowest was $600/ HR and went up to $1000! Sorry but I'm not paying that. One agency I kept in contact with from the pre-FOSTA days advertises girls at $400, GFE service. Mostly the girls don't appeal but they occasionally have Brazileras who come through who look safada so I took flyer and drove the hour plus to her hotel downtown.
Nice enough garota, big tits and a bunda plump and firm, blond hair, tan lines. A 7-8 on my scale. At Tangara she'd be a maybe and at Scandallo I'd probably pass. But her DFK was unenthusiastic, always a bad sign. While she performed all the alphabet, including anal, it was obvious that I was one of many hourly dicks she was going to service over the next week or so and her heart just wasn't in it. All told the damage was $500 (extra for anal) plus the time to drive to the city, park etc.
Now what is the moral from this sad tale of woe? Well, when it comes up, as it will, about foreign mongers overpaying it's important to remember the context they are coming from. If I fly to Sampa and find a girl twice as hot as one I can find at home (if I can find her at all) for a quarter the price, paying an extra 100-200 reals seems to be irrational economizing. I understand it distorts the local scene and I try to be as sensitive to that as I can but if I'm only in town for a couple of weeks and I meet a 10 I'm going to pay the freight. After all, I'm really only doing it so I can jerk off thinking about it later. Have pity.
How to take a short trip to Buenos Aires if you are bored with Brazil.
Getting there and back.
Buenos Aires Ezeiza airport (EZE) is about 3 hours from Sao Paulo and it's well-connected to the rest of the world. Quite a few passports can get in with no visa. The airport is not super busy but depending on the size of your plane and how many people are ahead of you, the wait at the passport control and the customs can be 30 minutes or longer. The process is standardized and reasonably efficient. The border officer will take your photo and take your thumbprint, both entering and leaving the country.
Uber *does not* work in Argentina (it requires a credit card from Argentina in order for it to work, which obviously travelers won't have – but the application will look like it's working until the moment you try to book a ride, at which time the app will fail).
There's an "official taxi" stand at the airport terminals just by the exit. They are 100% legit, with a flat rate to downtown Buenos Aires being about US $30, they actually take cash USD and EUR, they take credit cards too but there's a slight surcharge. Pay at the stand and their employee will take you to the taxi and hand you over to the driver.
That same company will pick you up downtown and take you back to the airport for 990 pesos (about $22) and can be scheduled via whatsapp. The scheduling dispatcher can write in English. To get that special rate, they only take Argentinian pesos in cash. So just save a 1000 for the return trip.
Money.
ATMs have an insane surcharge of 279 pesos (about $6) **per transaction** and withdrawal limits are currently at 4000 pesos (about $90). Yes it's usury. But there's no way around it. Bringing foreign cash and trying to exchange it has a host of challenges with it (finding a place to do it, making sure it's during work hours, etc). Foreign currency is not popular with the girls. But Schwab bank **will** reimburse this fee. Most ATMs take foreign cards and dispense cash. There are a few ATMs in the airport but you have to look for them. But they are there.
Getting around.
Buenos Aires downtown-ish area is incredibly walkable. In less than half an hour can walk pretty much anywhere within the downtown area.
While Uber is not working, the local taxis are plentiful, cheap (pay by the meter and it's very reasonable – 100-200 pesos gets you anywhere within the downtown area) and the drivers seem to be honest. They rarely speak any foreign language so I generally just walk to avoid the language barrier, sometimes I take the taxi back to the hotel, which is simplified by taking a hotel card that has an address with you.
Sleeping, eating, etc.
Hotels publish discounts on [URL]booking.com[/URL].
Airbnbs are plentiful – read reviews.
Food is likewise plentiful. My favorite are empanadas (filled pastries). Fancy touristy places are IMHO overrated.
Seeing the city.
There's a number of free walking tours available. A great way to get your bearings. Takes about 2-3 hours.
The girls.
My sole resource has been [URL]http://www.bairesgirls.net/escorts-acompanantes.htm[/URL].
To the left, you'll see the categories.
Novedades – doesn't mean new girls, could be updated listings.
Mujeres – this is what you'll likely want.
Maduritas – for the lovers of the aged wine.
Masajistas – these usually include at least a HJ.
Fantasias – an occasional whip and chain could be found here.
Traviesas – some nice looking traps are available.
The best part about that site is if you are browsing from your phone, click on a "whatsapp" link from a girl's profile, and it'll let you send a standard message – already in Spanish – to that girl (naturally you must have whatsapp installed on your phone for it to work).
To the right of the girl's main pic, there's a link to the search for her reviews on the forum:
"Experiencias? Buscar en el foro" – [URL]http://www.foroescortsar.com/foros/index.php[/URL] The reviews there are superbly detailed and often with pics.
The girl will usually quickly respond with a standardized message describing her location, rates, and work hours. Only some of them work on weekends. They also usually include specifics (such as anal) and whether they do BBBJ (bucal sin) – obviously can be clarified to suit your needs. Mine are rather basic so it hardly ever becomes an issue. The girls are generally booking a little in advance but could be available immediately.
Most girls have their own rooms for meetings, but there are a few that would go to your hotel. I haven't tried the latter type (no real need to). Rooms usually are pretty basic but shower is available as well as a towel.
The cost I've seen ranges from 1500 to 2000 pesos ($34-44) for an hour. Half an hour is also available but I used that option only once. In some cases there are 2-girl specials, could be 3500 for that.
The girls generally have a good, friendly attitude. They spend the entire hour with you, usually lots of hugging and kissing. BBBJ is common. The deed can be done as many times as you can manage.
Basically there are 2 types of girls at those sites:
- true private providers. She would have an apartment just to herself (or at least a room), puts up her own ad, manages responses, generally those apartments are in better shape.
- agency or group apartments. Still every girl would have an ad with her pics but someone else would handle the messaging and scheduling.
Photos could be hit or miss. Generally from what I've seen there's decent enough resemblance in over 50% of the photos. But to be honest I haven't met a girl who's truly ugly from these ads. Well, actually I did meet a surprisingly big girl and not very pretty. But she more than made up for it with her friendly attitude and her tongue skills.
The response rate is very close to 100%, and if they don't respond right away they're probably busy and they will respond when they become available. They generally provide all necessary information in the first message. The price for the hour and half an hour, approximate location, work hours (generally until 7-8-9 pm, some girls work weekends while others don't) and what they include (BBBJ / anal). Making an appointment is also super easy and they are punctual. I usually show up right on time or maybe 1-2 minutes early, had to wait for a few minutes once when the girl literally just walked in from the street to meet me, and another time had to wait for almost an hour because I wanted a threesome but the second girl was busy. So the first girl sat with me but we were supposed to keep it G-rated until the second girl showed up. I just took a nap with my head in her lap. And the experience was totally worth the wait.
Also they rarely if ever try to upsell or beg for tips. Generally the price is all-inclusive (anal is frequently extra but I'm not interested in that so if you are, do ask up front), and they don't limit you on how many times you can do the deed.
The districts "Microcentro" and "Tribunales" are very easily accessible and generally safe (of course use common sense) and most girls are within 10-15 minutes walk within that area.
I used google translate to communicate, never had much problem. If the doorman at the building asks where you're going just show him the address. Never got any hard time from any doormen.
Elevators in the buildings are tricky. If it's on your floor, the 2 sets of doors you open by hand. Make sure you close them both when you exit the elevator, or the next person won't be able to call it.
Additionally, different elevators or elevator banks can serve different apartment numbers. E. g. If you are going to an apartment 10 F, you get to the 10th floor and only see apartments A,be, see, the – then you likely need to go back down and find another elevator bank.
Are you going to find gorgeous 10's at those places and have crazy parties, booze, and sex through the night? Probably not. But if you are looking for that warm girl-next-door who would do you for a $40 feeling, this is the place to get it.
SP Trip Report, Day 1, Part 1 - Casarao.
Took Uber back to my hotel (BTW, an Uber select private car cost around R12 each way to Tangara), picked up dinner from a grocery store, and got more rest. Later in the evening, I was trying to decide between Kilt Show (recommended by ABG below) or Casarao. After going back and reading earlier messages about Kilt Show, I decided to give Casarao a try instead.
I got to Casarao around 11:30. I was a bit confused by the entry, which I now realize was either R40 all consumable or R20. Paid R40 but probably should have just done the R20. Oh well. Given what I had read in earlier reports, there were a lot more people there than I expected, maybe 60-80 girls and slightly more men. Plus, the quality was overall better than Tangara, same low end (even a couple of the same girls from Tangara) but on the high end maybe 3-4 girls that I would put in the 8-9/10 range in looks. All shapes and sizes, hair colors, skin colors. Between the ground floor and lower level, it took me a long time to get a feel for the place and check out the talent.
Those 3-4 girls were the ones I was considering. I spoke to a few girls to get a sense of how this worked, and most were quoting R250 for 30-40 minutes (plus R40 to the club for the room). Eventually, I took a girl named Alini (a blond with a pretty face and obvious implants (which are not normally my thing). We negotiated for a bit, and eventually we agreed on R350 for 1 hour of tudo (including anal) plus R80 for the room. She was nice enough, but she was not quite my speed (more PSE than GFE), so I would not repeat.
I was feeling tired at that point, so I left at around 3 am. Total cost for me at Casarao was R40 entry including drinks + R350 girl + R80 room = R470. FYI, Uber cost around R25 each from to / from my hotel in Moema.
More to come.
SP Trip Report, Day 2, Part 1 - Moema clinicas.
Slept in late on Monday morning and had a hearty late breakfast / brunch at my hotel before making a plan for the day. Decided to do a walking tour of Moema clinicas, which I started at around noon and finished around 3 pm.
I walked 20 minutes to get to Red Massagem. The lady at the front desk was nice, and although she didn't speak English, she had a 'menu' in English. There were about 10 girls there, but the talent was in the 4-5/10 range in looks to my eye, so no one really met my spec, and I decided to head out.
After another 10-15 minute walk, I arrived at Abbobora Massagem. It's a little confusing to find the entrance, which is on the side of the building by the carpark, not the door facing the street. The lady at the front desk didn't speak English, but she was also not very nice or patient. The talent here, however, was clearly better, in the 6-7/10 range in looks by my standards, maybe 10-15 girls. I was taking my time and considering my options, but even though there were a number of other men in there also waiting, the front desk lady was being kind of pushy, so I made my exit, and she gave me an exasperated huff as I walked out the door. Not sure why she was so huffy. In retrospect, those girls were the best I would see all day, so I probably should have taken one of my best choices there.
Clinica Miruna is almost across the street from Abbobora. Again, no English, but at least the reception lady was nice. About 10 girls in the 4-5/10 range in looks. I was told that a few girls were in the room, so I waited for a while, but the first one to come out was also not to my standard, and I decided to leave.
I walked another 5-10 minutes to reach EnjoySpa. Again, no English, but nice. About 5-10 girls in the 4-6/10 range. Not to my spec, so again I left.
Finally, I walked about 15 minutes to get to Moema Prime. No English, nice lady. About 5 girls in the 4-6/10 range again. It wasn't happening for me, so I left.
So, overall, I visited 5 clinicas (Red, Abbobora, Miruna, Enjoy, and Prime). Of those, the quality of girls was pretty similar (and not very good), except for Abbobora, which was clearly better. Of course, this is just my opinion, and only for this one timepoint on Monday afternoon.
My tour completed, I walked back to my hotel, stopping to pick up a late lunch / early dinner at a grocery store and also stopping by Shopping Ibirapuera and Banco Santander to withdraw more money for the rest of the week. It took me about 20 minutes to get back to my hotel.
At this point, I see Tangara as the best clinica option. Yes, the price is the lowest. But also, the management is nice and really helps to facilitate things. Plus, the girls hang out in the lounge area when not in the room, so it's easier to talk to the girls and make special requests or confirm services. And the quality of girls is similar in all places, although at least when I visited, Tangara had a wider range of girls' looks (from among the worst I had seen in the clinicas to among the best). I haven't yet visited Brooklin, Ceci, Donna, Yankin, or Vani's Way, but I'm not sure if it's worth it to schlep out to all of those places.
More to come.
