Rio de Janeiro Reports

[QUOTE=Turgid;3086345]For me the issue is not really BBBJ vs CBJ it is who can give a toe curling BBBJ and for me that is just 1% of providers. Friday last my sugar babe gave me a BBBJ and I swear I almost levitated. I ended up buying her an iPhone 18 Pro Max. I've got to get back to ordinary mongering.[/QUOTE]Exactly! I still remember an adamant CBJ provider from Sosua who landed me on the moon. She just wouldn't go bare, even for a tip. Of course, I can only imagine what she could've done to me without a rubber, but if I didn't give up, I would've missed a great experience. And your numbers are spot on, too. That CBJ was better than 99% of BBBJs I've gotten in my life. That was 2000's.

Western men are going abroad to find traditional wives.

Frustration with modern dating has fuelled the rise of "passport bros".

Listen to this story.

A few years ago Mike got fed up with dating in America. "So many women there have been brainwashed to think it's OK to treat men like crap," he says. He could work remotely, so he moved to Thailand, where his money stretched further, and he met the sort of woman he was seeking. He is now engaged to a Thai woman, Pafan. (Both asked for their surnames to be withheld.) The couple often post videos for their thousands of followers. In one viral clip captioned "Point of view: you have a Thai girlfriend", Pafan kneels on the floor clipping Mike's nails. He says his followers are mostly American men, many of them "in awe" of how she caters to him.

Mike is one of a rising number of "passport bros": young Western men who travel abroad in search of better dating prospects. Online forums, YouTube channels and TikTok accounts rank countries according to their women, advising which are the most "feminine", "traditional" and likely to pamper men. Thailand, Brazil, Colombia, the Philippines and Vietnam are among the most popular. "It's the ultimate life-hack in 2026," says Austin Abeyta, a passport bro in the Nang, Vietnam.

If all this sounds like the 1950's have collided with the modern manosphere—where dating frustrations translate into broader grievances about women online—you are not wrong. Men rejecting American women for "not offering what they value isn't new", says Beth Bailey, a historian at Cambridge University. American women's roles changed during the second world war as millions entered the workforce. Some veterans sought more traditional partners abroad: almost 100,000 married foreign women, says Ms Bailey. Other men sought "mail-order bride" arrangements. In the case of passport bros, they do not bring women to America but instead travel overseas themselves, aided by remote work and digital-nomad visas.

Why the resurgence now? Some claim the dating landscape is stacked against men. They say apps such as Tinder and Hinge favour only a handful of highly desirable profiles, while others are left competing for scraps. "It's a very labour-intensive game. Without a good prize at the end," says Mr Abeyta.

There has also been a broader cultural shift, with some young men becoming more conservative and seeking compliant partners. A recent study by Ipsos, a think-tank, surveying around 30 countries, found that more than half of Gen Z men believe women's rights have gone far enough; around a third think that wives should always obey their husbands.

Economics play a part, too. Moving abroad can make it easier to live out more traditional roles. In America supporting a household on a single income has become more difficult. "I don't mind dating a poor woman," says Justin, another passport bro. "You're more likely to get the traditional roles that way. "

Some critics argue that passport bros exploit women and contribute to sex tourism. Others say that women are with them for a Western passport. But money may play as big a role. "I have no desire to live in America," says Jewel Clyte, Mr Abeyta's Filipina girlfriend. Their partnership has offered her more financial security than a partner from the Philippines might.

There is nothing wrong with finding love abroad. But Ms Bailey warns that large gaps in income can lead to "disproportionate levels of power". For passport bros and their riveted followers, however, that power imbalance may be what is so seductive.

Ghost of Jack Kennedy fucking Marilyn Monroe, 18, in the French Mediterraneo Riviera.

Written from suite 666 at the Grand Hyatt Barra, excuse the typos, bitches.

So, ISG member who aspires to be Presidential, though is unqualified by law to be President of Switzerland is fucking a hoar, isa-hoara to be exact, in the bedroom next door, in the Presidential suite, which has a better couch than the so called diplomat suite on the 7th floor, which is adjacent to the executive lounge, which is better since the fucking staff doesn't sweat attorney vagabundo from preparing salmon and avacado sandwiches later in the day, not to mention mixed nuts in the protein jar which all real cariocas carry to steal food from the student dining hall to live within the minimum wage of 1500 r a month (no shit, look it up).

I may, may, also fuck isahoara, though, I have elective indifference, as in I don't give a fuck, the art of not giving a fuck being very close to Nacho of Loyola, get that allusion, bitches, and look up the character Jesuita in the film which ann amari liked, as she is asexual since she lives in that minimum wage structure.

On the screen, a 18 year old porn queen is rimmed by a french bastard, while in the next scene of my compilation, Annette Schwartz is practicing her good mark twain English, which she used to learn 'merican English, you know, by reading out loud mark twain, and then django unchained, over and over again, while getting ploughed, airtight, in interracial scenes, and which, she as ilsa shewolf of the nacci's (allusion to nia nacci, which rymes with. Er), dominates all colorist porn starlets, like (make a list of women who never did IR): seka, norma kusma, samantha strong, Samantha Rhodes, who else? All you porno fans, help me here? You know buttman himself said Monique the negra would be the best porn star if it were not for colorism.

Money is the greatest aphrodisiac.

Put that into AI and give me 5000 words every morning for the newsletter to raise money.

Example: client is long 50 oz physical gold and has a IRA with 300 k USD and wants to hedge his long gold by doing a gld buy write eg long 500 gld and short nov370 c. Calculate the risk of overall client position.

Conversion of ticker GLD to physical Gold spot is about 11, right.

50 oz x 4300 is about 515 k, right?

Client IRA is 300 k. So he should do GLD buywrite by selling 50 day calls 5 points in the money, and model the overall position in IBKR risk navigator so it is delta dollar neutral, as in, I don't care if I fuck isahoara, but if I do, have the client pay her in pix, including the tip, haha.

If you understand how to do a ibkr account, in swiss languages (Italian, French, germane, English), then we can be friends.

CPFPM is economist dot com big mae index.

Freeze your sperm before age castrates you, right jimmy caligulus Cesar boy, right? It does matter in 1000 years if your heirs are there to crucify another upstart Israeli, and write a novel that will still be paying royalties to Rome, so the high priests of rome can get young nuns over to suck on their toes, and shine their boots for the greater glory of a crucified 7 Israeli, shalom?!

Oh, and could someone get me an agent at CAA (C at at, not the fucking CIA), so I can turn some of this gibberish into ZOhan 2, a sequel in Rio de Janeiro, as the biggest fucking movie producer in Brazil, in no later than 2027, December.

[QUOTE=TheCane;3086491]And you don't have to do this in Sampa as well for the nightclubs? It's the same thing for both cities when it comes to nightime. Neither has an advantage in this regard.[/QUOTE]Daytime too in SP. I usually stay in Itaim Bibi or the Jardim area except when I am at the Hyatt on hotel points and voucher nights and it is always an Uber ride of significant duration to most destinations of girly interest. In the afternoon to the clinicas and at night to Scan or Casuara. The only time I can avoid the traffic issue is when I stay in Itaim Bibi specifically at the Marriott Exec or Grand Mercure I. Be. And can walk to Bomboa and when I am at the Hilton or Gran Estanplaza Berrini and can walk across the street to Gauguin.

[QUOTE=TheCane;3086491]And you don't have to do this in Sampa as well for the nightclubs? It's the same thing for both cities when it comes to nightime. Neither has an advantage in this regard.[/QUOTE]I think the Rio clubs are smaller and pulling an all nighter in them wouldn't be as feasible or as enjoyable as the larger boates of Sao Paulo. You can could spend a whole weekend trip easily in just scandallo alone and have several girls a day.

But yes, many do the scandallo then late night ceasaro route and then back to moema and there is a lot of time in the cab with that as well.

And I did many nights in just the clubs in copacana, but that gets expensive with the cover charges and take out fees and all that.

Of course both cities are quite large and you will spend time in a taxi. I just think Rio is a bit more spread out and the smaller venues more often than SP lead you to seek out a different spot to find exactly what your looking for, which means more cab time. Its rare you go into a high end SP boate and you want to leave. Even the smaller boates like Bomboa had a ton of talent and some real charm.

[QUOTE=Viajero11;3083162]I was recently in Brazil for 7 weeks for work and in and out of Rio on several occasions. My free time was a bit limited, so my sessions were only with girls who were well reviewed on the local forums. Some I had been with in previous years and some were new. The good news, as it often is, is that the local foristas were accurate in their reporting and that I fortunately had similar tastes, especially in terms of service quality. First up was Dani who I had met at sexy hot masagems last year. She's now at a new prive at156 Rio Branco. Maybe early thirties, curvy in just the right way for my tastes, gorgeous long black silky hair, amazing breasts, and, most importantly, a great attitude. Super sweet and sexy, excellent GFE. R200 for an unforgettable hour. [/QUOTE]I took notes from this one. I'm excited to try out the garotas named--I just checked the prive websites and they apparently are still there--but I want to make sure I understand how things go. I do speak Portuguese, so that should help things along. Prive names I have written down are Bel Prazer, Onix Terapias, Prisma Terapias, and RJ Massagem, all in Centro.

If I understand correctly, without an appointment I enter the building and go up to the floor the prive is located on. They will present the garotas that are working that day. I pick one, and then we go to a room. My question here is, these prives offer different services. Prices differ on what I pick. Does it even matter if its going to turn into FS, or should I pick a specific service (relaxante, tailandesa, esportiva, etc.)?

Can I make an appointment with the garota of my choice? I'd like to try out Viajero's garotas if possible. I'm guessing they will be asking for duration (easy) and service (see above). Which service should I pick? Or am I overthinking the problem?

Don't listen to jaded Senor Vagabundo and get it if you can.

Like when I first started going to Brazil. Of course, the termas have always been relatively small, but there was a time when I could go to Centaurus or Quatro por Quatro and tricks and tutes would be standing shoulder to shoulder! Even at Solarium! There were plenty of hot garotas doing dirty stuff to choose from, and I could have spent a whole weekend at some of the larger termas and been completely happy. But alas, it's no longer like that at this time. Still, I'm not one to bounce around too much in a single night. I will usually go to only one club in a night. I preserve my energy and my money that way. And cut back on Uber and taxi rides too!

You will be quoted prices per time period (usually 30-40 minutes minimum). Different services may depend on private conversations with your garota and / or chemistry. You can walk-in and see who's available or make a reservation on whatsapp if you know who you're interested in.

Well, in the presidential suite on the 6th floor, last night Vagabundo banged a 4 x 4 girl for 500 r for an hour, with an actual 25 minutes of fucking in her pussy, and 40 minutes of sucking and fucking for a miserable cost pre fuck per minute of like what, jesus h, 10 r or 12 r, but it was like the bodyguard of JFK banging Marilyn Monroe, but she was all tatted up, and her kunt was not tight, but it was enjoyable, and I just kind of had to do it as it is a check the box barra moment. This after another ISG er banged her, so that's how riofornication scripts get written, here in the hollyweird of Brazil.

Massage for 30 minutes or 45 minutes or whatever, then the fucking begins. That being said, I do think that he is overthinking it. It is just fucking hookers, not a life changing decision. I also understand his uncertainty if he has not done the process before. After the first one it will be just like going to Burger King though.

[QUOTE=Creideiki;3086559]Prive names I have written down are Bel Prazer, Onix Terapias, Prisma Terapias, and RJ Massagem, all in Centro.[/QUOTE]What do you want? Not all these places are the same. It's way more complicated than going to Burger King. It only gets easy when you know how a specific place works.

Prisma has 3 locations and seems to be more a massage place. More might be available but at high cost. I don't think it meets the definition of a prive (which I believe is focused on sex not massage). The place doesn't allow reviews on the local foro. RJ Massagem is more similar to Prisma. I have been to both. Onix is the opposite. All the reviews on the local foro are focused on the sex / program, with almost no mention of massage. And it's cheaper.

One thing for sure. If a place offers regular massages, nuru and nuru mutua at different prices, then it's probably more a massage place, and you definitely will not be able to touch unless you pay for the more expensive nuru mutua. You will get your hand pushed away and maybe a nasty look LOL.

Roll away bed is the key at the GH barra.

That couch chafed my ass when I was banging isa hoara a girl from belprazer a few weeks ago.

Lesson learned: roll away bed.

Gh is where the NFL players stayed, BTW.
