a very sad story - although it feels like pieces are missing.  the comment that the killing looked like a “crime of passion” is somewhat out of context in the story and then the dispute about whether the victim knew the killer well.  It’s as if they are suggesting the killer & victim were involved, which what the husband would want people to think
this could happen in many other places - but, it happened in Rio and if the victim wasn’t a high-profile/wealthy American it would hardly be newsworthy.  
Desperate people do desperate things - for money. 
 

that depends on the client.  
as a suggestion, chat up your potential hire at the bar & buy him a drink. use the time at the bar to do all the small talk, negotiate exactly what you want & whatever else you need to check before committing.  
this is typical & makes your time in the cabin more efficient - when you get into the cabin, you can get right to it & maximize the time. the bar is on the lowest floor.
i would not hire someone on the other floors & go directly to a room without a conversation at the bar.  most will welcome the drink, give you better service & the bar has better lighting.
as mentioned previously, it’s been my experience that the best guys (most in demand) do not approach clients aggressively.  the agressive guys are the ones to avoid. All are easily approachable - don’t be shy during prime time or you might not get your preferred guys.

some Thermas tips 
1. go early - before it gets crowded.  Thermas is big and spread across 3 floors - it can be disorienting to arrive when filed with providers & clients. Plus - it’s competitive & the locals/regulars will always go for their favorites who are usually the most in-demand. Arriving when it’s crowded puts you at a disadvantage. I like to arrive at opening about 3p and watch as providers/ clients arrive. 
2. get familiar with the layout - because it is confusing.  I’d recommend a complete walk-through of the entire place at least once to take note of spa facilities & bar (first floor), all showers (first & second floors).  And the one private bathroom on first floor with a douche - the key to that bathroom is at reception and depending on the attendant, they may require you buy an attachment or if you have your own, then a tip to get the key.  Return the key asap as there may be others waiting.
3. there will always be guys hanging around the reception area & watching the clients locker room.  the game is to snag clients in that area & before they can see the other providers.  don’t fall for it.
4. like anywhere else - be cautious if anyone offers you anything to ingest. last time I was there, a provider offered candy between sessions - upon inspection it was potent edible marijuana. there are a couple guys there routinely selling things - I’d avoid them & whatever they have.  they are obvious & likely will make an approach at some point. 
5. the free cabins are fine for 30 minutes & the staff cleans continuously- but that doesn’t mean you’ll always get a fresh cabin.  If you want to make sure it’s clean - then private rooms. Again - getting there early ensures access to private rooms - when it’s crowded you may wait and sometimes they don’t open up at all. 
6. you dont need ID to get in - leave passports & valuables in your hotel safe.  I carry a set amount of cash, one credit card & phone.  I don’t leave those items in the locker - I carry them with me in a small pack at all times.  you need cash for the guys - everything else can be on credit card.
7. bring your own condoms & lube.  the condoms provided are the most basic & the lube is almost nonexistent.  the guys appreciate good quality condoms & it makes a big difference.  I like to bring my own antibacterial soap along too - just to be extra careful between sessions.  availability of soap in the showers is not a sure thing.
8. if smoking bothers you - avoid the area on the second floor where smokers congregate.  for people who smoke, it’s ideal place to engage the guys in a more relaxed environment.
9. don’t be afraid to say no.  you will be approached many times by guys who may not be your type.  there’s not pressure per se, but they are direct and don’t want to waste time.  they are used to no & it’s just part of the environment.  polite & firm gets the message across.  

10. you will pay for everything at the end & check your final bill carefully.  if buying drinks for providers, make sure you are clear at that time what you’re offering. an offer for a drink can easily turn into a full meal - and that’s fine if that is what you’re offering.  if spending a few hours there, the charges can add up quickly. 
11. don’t be afraid to tell the provider exactly what you want - they’re professionals and have seen it all, several times.  no reason to be embarrassed.  If there is a language barrier - use google translate or show them a video of the type of scene you want. a video is easiest way to get the clear message across & I’ve seen several clients do it.

 
 
 

I went today around 3:30pm.  There were several (10-20) guys working and not too many clients.  That was interesting because I had my pick.  Some guys approached me and one was sort-of over pushy.  I chatted with them and they all said the rate is 50 euro.  More people came in, both providers and clients, as time went by.
I eventually went with a Brazilian guy named "Alberto" from Fortaleza. Super nice and extremely well equipped.  Best 50 euro I've spent so far!

Went again today, Saturday.  Got there around 4:40pm.  Lots of providers.  Chatted with a few and can confirm that it seems that the going rate is 50 euro.

I decided to go with the same guy as yesterday.  His name is Alfredo, not Alberto.  Nice guy.  
I'm hooked.  Gotta get back to Barcelona soon.

Just left London yesterday.  On RM guys are generally quoting between £150 and £250 with most people, settling in at £200.  I hired incalls at £180 and £200.  I contacted a guy whose rate structure was £250 for an hour, but would discount the rate to £200 per hour if hired for two or more hours.

While I have not yet stayed at Pineapple Point, I have stayed at several other men-only clothing-optional hotels.  I find a room on the ground floor facing the pool is always ideal.  I like to view the pool and the men around the pool from my room during the noon hours when I'm inside avoiding the harshest UV rays 
I don't mind leaving my curtains open when I'm inside naked on the bed watching television or asleep at night.    It sometimes leads to unexpected knocks on my door from men passing by 😊.
But sometimes the other man/men I bring to my room don't appreciate the exhibitionist opportunity and insist on closing the drapes.  That's fine.  
Bottom line: Book the room on the ground floor facing the main pool.  You can always close the curtains if you need privacy.

Great to read memories and experiences from you all, and thanks to Rod for going to the trouble of finding old reviews/photos to post along with his memories. It certainly is great to put faces to names and reviews/memories.
On that note, I wanted to share a few photos and recollections of the guy I consider the most (physically) beautiful escort I ever hired. I believe he went by the name Justin in his RB ad, but others may know him by Niko, which was closer to his actual name. He was Czech, and had come to LA (he told me a modeling agent had helped him come out here) on a tourist visa, then massively overstayed. I'll never forget when he showed up at my door, I've seen beauty but he was just ethereally gorgeous. Seemed pretty closed and shy at first, then slowly over a session or three his very dry humor emerged, and after that a much more open and tender side. That face! That body! That ass! That dick...I could go on, but every single inch of him was perfection.
He was limited in his offering (basically he was open to receiving oral and rim jobs) but always hard and always came. I normally want someone  more interactive, but every minute spent with him felt like a gift from the Gods, so I never even thought to ask for more (I was young and pretty naive at the time). As we got to know each other better, that tender side came out, and in our (what turned out to be final) session, he grabbed me and passionately kissed me. He actually laughed about it after the session, and said he wasn't sure what came over him, but he was moving to Miami the next week and wanted to give me a goodbye kiss. Bless. We stayed in contact for a few months after he moved, and I talked about coming down to see him. Then he seemed to vanish. I read something on a forum saying he'd been arrested due to overstaying his visa, jailed then deported. Then nothing for at least 10 years. One day I was scrolling a Czech fitness model's feed and saw a guy, much older and MUCH more muscled, but clearly him. He was tagged in the picture and I could see he had re-established life in Czech, gained a lot of muscle (and a few tattoos) but still had the beautiful face. I sent him a DM, never heard back, wasn't surprised. And that's the end of that story. But I still swoon when I see his photos. and I'm grateful that young me got to come of age with young him

I couldn't agree more with this assessment. All true. Another suggestion might be to also consider robbing a bank before you leave as you'll need plenty of cash!
 

Tossing me a tissue or two while laying flat on my back and leaving the room to wash his hands. 

I have no words.  No wait, yes I do.
You nasty.  You nasty and you lazy.  You could have just excused yourself and gone to the restroom, but you’re so entitled that you expected the masseur to just be totally ok with having to smell your fart.  And then you have the nerve to act like you’re the one who’s been wronged.
Seriously, you nasty.

Recently I laid down on the table of a good looking muscle guy for a nice massage. About fifteen minutes in my stomach rumbled and I suddenly needed to fart. So I said, "Hey I need to fart, OK?" The response was something like, "OMG GO TO THE BATHROOM. HURRY!" It wasn't like I was gonna take a dump on his mother's oriental. I just needed to pass gas, then get back to the massage. His frantic response killed the mood so I just laid there and said I'm ok now. A few minutes later I said that was enough, thank you; got dressed, paid, and walked out the door. Weird experience all around.

Or 99% are evolved and fit the profile of a customer capable of satisfaction with the 50-Euro-a-pop brothel playbook. Sexually mature and flexible homophiles equally open to insertive and receptive pleasure, not hampered by constrictive specifications, unencumbered by puerile notions of sexual position hierarchy. Trading off choice, perhaps optimal standards and preference, for convenience and the general life benefits of adaptation.
The average new parent will quickly realize that their toddler is a douche, insufficiently developed to be successfully cajoled regarding its laundry list. The best approach is to simply convey that you get what you get and you don’t get upset. 

"Manscent" is a total turn off for me.
I remember in two occasions, one almost 40 years ago in Milan and one about 20 in Prague,  having invited a GORGEOUS man at my place, and when in bed the unpleasant surprise of a smelly crotch and pits. It was like watching and savoring  a delicious cake but finding a dead fly on it. 🤢

Something for everyone.............

"Travellers who have requested an E-Visa or paper-based visa cannot be refunded as the visa has been requested and is in progress or has been issued. Please note that this is a multiple entry visa valid for 5 years."
 

Yeah, right.

Another straight or confused Eastern European scammer. Promises all kinds of things and then delivers nothing pretending it was all a misunderstanding. Looks like they are increasingly based out of Miami instead of New York. Stay away.

This is more typical once you’ve established a rapport with the therapist.  You two are obviously comfortable with each other and things may continue to escalate as you go back for more massages.  However, never expect anything and you won’t be disappointed.  You may go back and have a “normal” massage and ending.  Don’t take it personally- could be an off day, or the therapist has other things on his mind, etc.  Remember , it’s a business transaction and 99.9% of the time does not turn into anything outside the room…..try not to mistake it for anything other than that and just enjoy the time spent together.

The Oslo to Bergen railway is an absolute must. Be sure to get a window seat and get ready for some of the most beautiful scenery of your life, especially the last couple od hours before arriving in Bergen. Bergen itself is a stunner of a city, amazing food and arts scene and very very pretty.

This doesn't surprise me after interacting with him but it really doesn't matter in this forum.

All you'll need right here..Excellent.
