Rio de Janeiro Reports

[USMatt]

I went to RB156 yesterday.

I just gave them my "name" and they pulled it and gave me a card to go into and out of the building.

I just wanted a real massage at onix.

It was 110 r for an hour, and 60 for intimo.

As it turned out a real massage also included a hand job, which is a nice gesture. I was just looking for a deep tissue massage.

Hi Vagabundo,

Enjoy reading your insights. At Onix is there a potential for more action or is it just HJ. Carol, Laura, Malu look hot. Did you session with them by any chance?

The first time I went to Colombia I did a similar thing. I stayed in Zona Rose (Bogota) and El Poblado (Medellin). Those are the nicer, more posh areas that are generally pretty safe. As I gained more familiarity with the various cities I started to spread my wings more and stay in different parts. Now when I visit I stay exclusively near Sante Fe in Bogota and a variety of places in Medellin. . . .

I see the comparison here when talking about where to stay in Rio regarding Copa vs. Barra. As this will be my first trip to Brazil, I'll be staying in Copa (to start) in Rio and Moema while in SP. . . .

Your take on how to go about assessing "where to stay", in Rio / SP with reference to your experiences in Bogota / Medellin is pretty good. It should serve you well, in Brazil. New MBs plagued with this decision should take note.

Colombia (Bogota / Medellin) is on my bucket list, so your info, definitely helps. Thanks!

The two questions to ask are:

1. Are you getting it bare?

2. Are you on her social media?

If not, you probably don't have her respect, and you may as well be a dildo.

If you're writing about Brazil and you haven't even been here, what's the point?

If the extent of your experience is ordering freelancers like Elisa Sanches or going to termas in Copa, then your perspective is so limited your input is of limited value at best.

First of all, you assume that getting it bare is always a good thing that all mongers should seek or want. The truth is that many guys choose to play it safe versus playing Russian roulette with their health by fucking multiple prostitutes bare. Plenty of women (including prostitutes too) actually do respect men who show that they care about safe sex practices that protect both themselves and women. Second, I find it interesting that you continue to heap praise upon Bubba Boy while consistently trashing the termas as well. The truth is that a huge focus of his was on the termas, and he spent a lot of time in them. You know, everybody's situation isn't like yours. They have different tastes, a different budget, and a different amount of time to monger. If we were all basically living in Brazil like you are, then yes that would call for doing things differently. A lot differently. But most of us aren't living there and therefore need (and even want) to roll differently. Your constant put downs of people with other tastes, desires, and views really does not contribute much here, and definitely isn't within the spirit of what this place is all about. More live and let live would be far more productive.

Don't laugh. Years ago a friend showed me a paper in a serious economics journal, that quantified currency exchange rates and strength of domestic economy in terms of prostitution prices or as he put it "the international working girl hour".

This is an idea I've discussed with my father (an actual economist) and is actually a fairly serious proposition. After all, famed economist Steven Levitt writes about the Economics of Drug Dealing in the best seller "Freakonomics", and I see no reason why the measure would be any less valid than the widely used "Big Mac" Index and worthy of deep study.

https://www.economist.com/big-mac-index

One esteemed poster noted here a while back that the efflorescence of prostitution seems to occur most robustly in emerging middle-income countries in which there is still a large income inequality and where wage labor remains depressed. Thailand, Brazil, Russia would be great examples. Consider that although working girl hours remain the cheapest in low income countries like Cambodia, Philippines, and Cambodia, but there is lack of a critical infrastructure around it on the scale of aforementioned locations and the industry has not flourished. Germany and the FKK scene seems to elide this rule, but perhaps could more represent the logic of a migratory labor force from the Balkans similar to the German phenomenon of the "Polish Plumber".

First chance I get I'm going right back to Angeles City / Subic where you can get 30-40 $ BBFS with a LBFM 7 nights a week. For my money, that's the best values out there even if the whole city is a sh*t hole. I mean, priorities.

[Vagabundo1]

That's just the big Mac index from the economist.com or purchasing power parity.

Look if you haven't even been in Brazil you probably have no cred writing about it.

IMHO, the Real seems undervalued. With a rate of R100=USD 18.50 (roughly 5. 5), <$US60 for an hour or more of pleasure is a good deal. Many are under <$USD25 an hour. Is there price of pussy (POP INDEX) (snicker) ?

Yep, multi-factorial market pricing with all the usual arbitrage and fools in the game, men and women. I enjoy your posts.

For this group, those not not selling labour, smart investments and living in pleasant lands arbitraging currency, tax laws, exploiting the cost of living and price and ready availability of beautiful and nubile young women is entirely rational, especially with effectively free video communication and dirt cheap airlines to have the best of all worlds. COVID has wreaked havoc on that, and is why it is so traumatic. It has effectively forced the sale of high structural cost societies, a sort of put option by closed borders.

At least you're here.

According to your reports, you're still getting it all covered. And they're not letting you on their social media.

My issue is with prepandemic pictures which have nothing to do with what is currently out there. The pictures I post are from this year, if not this month.

The metro stop in barra has changed things in several ways. It's easier for talent to get to barra.

Transamerica is not the only spot, but it is good for the barravipsrio girls, as most are here at some point or another, usually at the start of their careers which is good.

As I've said, ksportal offers luxury apartments near metro jardim oceanico.

My issue is also with ISG members who ask me to go out to termas with them when they are paying 1000 for pernoite for a girl who leaves at 02 h, as I mentioned. Then the staff at 4 x4 come up to me and say, "oh don't you remember your friend who paid 1000 reais to take the girl out pernoite" which really is the locals saying "you are a idiot gringo, why don't you do the same stupid thing". It's not just me. It is a more or less direct quote from Bubba Boy, who literally wrote the 2 part, 100 page guide to Rio. All of which is still valid, except for some things like which venues are open, all of which can be updated by looking at gparena.net.

Seems like lately on this board and the Medellin forum there has been a lot of chatter (much of it sour) about prices.

[Vagabundo1]

That says it all.

You haven't been to Rio or Brazil.

Good luck, lad.

On all of my mongering trips (first time in Brazil upcoming)

For Vagabundo. I took this photo on Copacabana beach way back in 2007 most likely a day after a night at Help. Enjoy.

Okay, yah lost me on the connection to Vagabundo. Most of the pics from Vagabundo are IMHO, pretty Brasileiras with terrific bronzed bodies.

Not my type. Bundinha. Not bundao.

I didn't think so either.

I have observed in many threads in ISG of guys getting offended if a poster has a different view from them. I prefer brancas to negras, why should a poster be offended because of that?

Okay, I get it now...this is one of your brancas with a super hot bronze tan. Wow, she's pretty hot! Carry on!

[Member #4729]

Do any of us actually think these women actually say to themselves, "This ugly gringo is painfully pounding the hell out of me, but I sure do respect the fact that he haggled with me over 50 real?" Be realistic, respect is earned through action. If you want to haggle for the lowest price, go wild. If you want to pay a little more to get better service or because you don't want to haggle, then do it. Be smart and don't overpay, but don't listen to other mongers who get mad about the fact that they can't lowball WGs because others have ruined the market. Imagine a guy calling out other men for their successful careers and wealth. We used to have a name for those people in life; losers.

This was hilarious to read, thanks. Seems like IG boards spend way too much time on this subject, and people get into too many arguments about it. WYGD?

Didn't even click on the small version.

I had a Barra vip girl come over yesterday afternoon, she was from Curitiba, German and Polish blood. She was a natural blonde absolutely beautiful and stunning and one of the finest GDP's I've ever seen, worth every real, I might even call her today again. There's plenty of girls in Rio that will go for your prices but not fresh quality like this. Locals pay the same price for these girls and make up most of their business. Ive had 2 from this site this trip all excellent gfe, actually this girl yesterday after we were finished she kept hanging out, what a sweetheart. Plus I paid at the end.

This is all definitely more in line with my experience with Rio Sex Site as well. I met a gorgeous natural blonde in Sampa from Curitiba too by the way with deep blue eyes. These girls do move around. Wonder if we may have enjoyed the same one?

I'm coming down in September with a friend who has never been to Brazil (only Colombia) We'll be staying 1 week in SP and 1 week in RJ. I heard it gets a bit cold in RJ around that time compared to when I went in January. Any other things I should know about September so I can prepare? We'll be getting a villa or something like that (any recommendations for some hidden gems? Greatly appreciated) in Copa or Ipanema (barra I liked the many options for cheap luxury condos / villas but the travel from the beach / termas girls is a huge miss for me, I like to step out and feel the sun and sand without planning a whole routine and terma girls are always down to fuck after their shift if they struck out that night and it's a pain to wait 30+ minutes for them to get to barra, prive girls are ok but not very GFE and are pretty mechanical to me IMO).

Can't wait to get back to Rio to see my terma girls who have been messaging me since I left in January! A much needed gateway to paradise!
