Future of Rio p4p and the rise of the ultra-evangelists in Brazil
[QUOTE=WyattEarp;2092787]Perhaps something not exactly like Help will pop up as time and politicians change. I think anything that does pop up needs to be less conspicuous and away from the beach. Many Brasilians I know were quite embarrassed by the spectacle Help Disco had become. Rio is an international tourist destination and Help was smack dab in the middle of Copacabana. I don't know about all the "deplorables" that Sperto mentions that started frequenting Help at the end. I do know many an indiscreet mongerer would be negotiating loudly with a programa girl at a Copacabana caf in the afternoon while a family sat five feet away at the next table. One time, I heard an Austrian father and son talking loudly about performing an afternoon threesome with a sexy, young negra. Even this young negra was a bit overwhelmed by the conspicuous discussion regarding her access points.
I'm sure many a young Carioca girl had been propositioned by foreigners on the beach and elsewhere in Zona Sul during Help's peak years. I'm not talking about flirting or seduction of any sort. I'm talking about blatant offers of money for sex. Many asshole foreigners in Rio approached every young, local woman they ran into like a programa girl.
If I was a Carioca, frankly I would have wanted Help Disco closed.[/QUOTE]HELP or anyother big place like it will not come back to zona sul. Ever. Look at the Museum of images that for 7 years has been "under construction" in its place. Name me anywhere in the world where a building could be allowed to be on its way for 7 years in one of the best real estate addresses? LOL. Payola, kick-backs and purposeful overbudgeting (padding the budget) so the politicians can get money back under the table.
As long as they can keep this going they will.
Remember that Cabral was the reason Termas stayed open as it was an open secret the governors/mayors office got paid from them to stay open. And to service them.
He then became the gov of Sao Paolo state hence the strong p4p scene there!!!
You now have an evangelical (TV Evangelist) mayor and an anti-sex destination attitude in Rio and sweeping the country in line with the rise of the protestant ultra conservative evangelist church-fastest rising part of the population overtaking catholics soon.This does not spell good news for us mongerers.
I have seen this coming for a minute so that coupled with the sheer logistical problems I had not speaking portugues in Rio definetely motivated me to learn it and reap benefits of the 4 year effort so far to take advantage and explore and exploit the non/semi pro aspect of Brazil and the sheer hornyness or the average menina which id say is a truism in regards to Brazil-no smoke without fire.
Gents do yourself a favor and get started learning.It is the one place where English is absolutely not spoken generally.
In centro faceless whole buildings filled with privees / casas for sure will continue to exist (and in inconspicuous grey high rises on Nossa Senhora where the rent is accomodated to assist casas staying open at times-as they serve the need of the very same people who outwardly condemn Rio as a sex destination:
Cariocas in power.
The average horny Centro worker and the rest of us degenerates looking for a bargain fuck hoping for a diamond-in the rough girl right behind them in the queue for the presentacao.
Same reason termas will continue untill they become financially unviable and close.
VM will continue untill they finally decide to build the fast train to Sao Paolo with a stop where VM is.
It will go freelance / whatsapp / net even more now.
The crisis is seeing the rise of the semi-pro.
The girl who will take couple hundred reais to get smashed but under the radar.
Portugese will help accomodate this or a carioca who speaks english-male or female.
The local chicks who cant go abroad and turn putas will go to casas even more and work online.
