Rio de Janeiro Reports

[QUOTE=Bearsi;2600280]Brazil is a very devout catholic country[/QUOTE]I guess we would need to know your meanings of devout and very. I know a bunch of people in Brazil and I can count on one hand (seriously having a hard time thinking of any at all) the amount that goes to some type of worship house on a regular basis. They do exclaim "meu deus" or "jesus" every now and then if that counts for anything. Maybe on paper it is devout or Catholic, but in real life mehhh.

Me and my girlfriend were at an open air restaurant last night in her small Mato Grosso town, and a guy came through selling these sandalwood sachets for 3 reais, 4 for 10. Someone jokingly asked if it was for Condomble. Seen a Baptist church and Methodist church here, but have not seen a Catholic one.

They have an airport chapel in Sao Paulo. 15 and 20 years ago I used to go in there and lie down behind the altar to sleep while waiting on my connecting flight. I knew nobody else in such a devout Catholic country was coming in there.

[QUOTE=Bearsi;2600280]Word of Advice to newcomers.
Sundays are pretty much a closed day for any real fun. You could also do some tourist stuff and explore the city which is a great option as well.[/QUOTE]On Sunday enjoy the beach, have a stroll, and do some people watching. Centro is deader than dead on Sundays.

First off, thanks for the tips regarding Rio, perhaps I should get out more, there is quite a lot to do in this region. The wifing-up to Buzios trip sounds like a great idea. If I find a girl with good chemistry I might try that.

Last night (Thursday) I managed to get out to 4 x 4 for my first termas experience. I arrived around 7 pm. My mission was just to have a few drinks and scope the place out just to see what it was about as I was tired and wasn't really in the mood. Turns out that a couple of beers put me in the mood, so I did session once and ended up spending about 2 hours there.

This place has no shortage of great reviews but I'd like to add a bit of a newbs perspective. To understand where I'm coming from, I'll say that the only comparable venues I've been to would be Showpark in Prague and La Isla in Medellin. Obviously these different styles of venues given that one of them is actually a strip club. But in general, the premise is the same. A fun place where you grab some drinks, check out the girls and then go bang one of them.

What I liked:

- On a global scale, the price is pretty damn good. I mean 50 for entry, 20 for a beer and 290 for 30 min. Or 410 for 60 min. That would be about 10 USD entry, 4 USD beer, 60 USD for sex.

- No shortage of choices. There was a very high quantity of women.

- English-friendly. From the very friendly woman at reception to a few of the girls I talked to, this has been one of the most English-friendly places I've been to in Brazil.

- The Robe culture. This was my first-time doing the robe thing. I would say about 75-80% of the guys used them, maybe 20% in street clothes. The robe put me more at ease. No worries that some guy dresses better than you do, everyone is equal in a way. No worries about losing a wallet or phone (not that I really worry about that at a club, but it's one less thing).

- The stripper pole. Being a newb and solo, I didn't know what to expect from this kinda place. I assumed I might end up standing there, drinking a beer and staring at the wall until one of the hot girls was free. But no, they did have some entertainment to focus on. The strip show was fun, and a great way to check out some of the talent.

What I didn't like:

- The facilities aren't exactly glamourous. The center of Rio is pretty dirty and run-down. Unfortunately that is just the general trend in Rio. Barra / Ipanema are nice areas of the city with modern facilities but the rest of the city kinda looks like a dive. The rooms are kinda basic but didn't really seem dirty.

- It was way too crowded for me. I had read that it's important to go during the busy times (Tues-Thurs). Presumably this is to have the largest selection of women. Last night there was almost no place to stand and the most beautiful women were busy with other guys. I've heard that all these termas are quite small so I guess that's what you have to deal with. If you go with a group, that's a fun, cool, party vibe, but when riding solo, I prefer to sit, drink, and observe the atmosphere. Perhaps I was just a little late to arrive. I think I'll try to arrive in the afternoon or 5 pm to see if it's more to my liking. It would be nice to be able to sit down or approach some hot girl who isn't occupied with a group of guys.

- Being approached by the uglies. To be clear, none of the women were pushy. I just don't like the awkwardness of shaking off a girl I'm not attracted to. I'm very picky, and it's not very likely that the top 10% girls will ever approach a guy, so I'd rather not be approached and just put in the work myself. For some guys who are shy or open for anything, this may be a benefit, I understand.

My mixed feelings:

- it's pretty awesome to be able to visit such an establishment with such services at such prices so I don't really like to complain. I should however, mention to other newbs that they keep expectations intact. I've learned so far that Brazil has such a high reputation due to the service level of the girls here. I would argue it's not necessarily the looks. Perhaps the top 10% of Brazilians are hotter than the top 10% of Eastern Europeans but in general, Eastern European women are far hotter. You really don't have to worry about overweight girls there. So, I guess I was a little disappointed with the looks. Sure, most of the women were technically do-able, but how many would I want to spend money on? For me, the vast majority would be no. The good news though, is that yes, the top 5 girls I saw there last night, were definitely hot and would've been a really great experience. I should also note, that the performance of the one girl I tried was actually pretty astonishing. I couldn't really keep up. If she had been younger and hotter I might've tried to get her number and see her outside of the club.

I can certainly see myself visiting a few more times this month and I'm sure I'll have a great time with some of the hotter girls. Also, I really want to check out some other termas so I can make comparisons. My type of girl is definitely branca. I noticed more in Sao Paulo than here in Rio for sure. If anyone knows of a terma or prive that has the same amount or more brancas than 4 x 4, I'd be interested to know, thanks!

[/QUOTE]In Brazil about 50% are catholic, 30% evangelica, 10% atheist and the rest other religions. In my experience the evangelicas are way more fanatic and more serious worshipper than the Catholics.

Great venues to. Meet girls.

Unless you burst into flames.

Have some sympathy have some taste.

I love termas, but none is going to have the quality of the top-tier Clubs in Sao Paulo (IMO regardless of preferences).

You might try Termas Solarium in Jardin Botanico. At times in the past, it has had an overrepresentation of Brancas / Loiras vs the other termas.

[QUOTE=Vagabundo1;2600583]Great venues to. Meet girls.

Thousand of nicely dressed people singing and almost dancing. So many hot girls coming up to hug me as they thought I was a new member of their community.

In Salvador don't miss the Lavagem do Rio Vermelho. People who worship Iemanjá gathers in Rio Vermelho to give offerings to the sea goddess. All Candomblé worshipper in Salvador goes there. I have never seen som many beautiful black girls gathered in one place. Excellent for picking up regular girls.

Sometimes I enter old catholic churches in Brazil, to enjoy the architecture and also to cool me down on hot days. Plenty of hot girls visit churches during daytime. Out of respect I don't pick up girls inside a church. However when leaving the church is a different thing. If the girls have seen you in the church they know that you're a good guy and will happily go with you to have a coffee.

Did that guy who was planning to fuck VM girls raw for 14 hours a day while consuming only chicken broth, sildenafil and ecstasy ever show up? I want to see before and after photos of his pau.

I also want to note for those who have the extra time and want to check out cinemas, gyms or museums in Rio, new rules went into effect on Sept. 1 that require vaccination documents to enter these places. I went to check out a movie yesterday at Botafogo Mall and I couldn't get in to the cinema unfortunately. These rules are for the state of Rio so Sao Paulo should still be fine. In terms of the hobby, it seems that the prives and termas should be operating normally but this is a sign that things could get worse in the future.

[QUOTE=Bravo;2598949]Well. Sounds like I better catch up with that guy and ask how much Portuguese school costs.[/QUOTE]Just walked past this sign on Nossa Senhora. Weather was great yesterday. Today overcast and cool.

I have been to Rio & Sao Paulo, but was with company that didn't allow for the hobby. It's a bit of a hike for me, as is Eastern Europe.

Termas sound very similar to German FKK clubs. Which I can say were a wonderful experience. Maybe less so now that BBBJ is not allowed in German clubs. Recent change as I understand it.

That said, it would be good to hear from someone who has experienced both Rio's Termas and Germany's FKK clubs in terms of the quality and ratio of women to men.

In my experience with German FKK Oase club near Frankfurt, there were many women that were do-able. There was a lot of talent in my taste range. Busty, young, slim waist, decently developed rear, and beautiful face. And of course seeing the talent walking around before making a selection is nice. The Oase FKK club definitely had women who would approach the men, but they weren't too pushy. Not too awkward in saying no, not now. Overall, the girls had a good attitude and looked to please. I would be interested in a comparison by those with experience in Germany.

For a Portuguese native.

[QUOTE=Ptgbac;2601117]Where did you met your girlfriend? In Rio or SP? Do you think those interior states are good for meeting girls? For a Portuguese native.[/QUOTE]Latinamericancupid. The first time she came down to meet me in Rio. She lived in a town where she had to ride the bus 20 hours overnight to the closest airport, which was in Goiania. Now she lives in a town with an airport although 1 flight on a small plane every couple of days. I have been meeting chicks on there for 16 years. I always leave her house and come to Rio for a few days. This time she said to only cheat on her a little bit.

So I've been here almost 2 weeks and dying to get a good workout in. The places I've been staying either don't have a gym or its a shittyy gym. I went to smart fit today and they tlld me I need a cpf to join. Even though I'm only going to be here for a couple months at most. So okay. I did some research online and it says I can get kne pretty easy but I need a proof of residence like a water bill? Isn't that a bit of a catch 22? I mean you probably need a cpf to rent a place in order to get the watwr bil right? Can I just ask my hotel to say I'm staying there? I've considered tryiing to use one of the online generators to make a fake cpf. Is that just a really bad idea? I think I could sign up online with it. Anyone here ever join smartfit?
