other than your accommodations, look around the forum here for RJ advice and hints......comments range from hysterical fear to no big deal.......best advice is to walk confidently, be aware of your surroundings, don't be flashy, don't carry too much cash, etc. on your person......write down your passport number and keep it separate somewhere........if in an airbnb at some point, tip the doorman (if there is one) just as thanks and for his discretion......I've been to RJ three times, but not since covid......never had a problem (except one garoto shook me down for 100 extra reals ($20) in a sauna once!!)......."juice bars" (sucos), almost on every corner, are great for a hearty breakfast and that classic Brazilian coffee or a smoothie (I still never quite get how you pay/order, though!----rules vary!!)........
An additional piece of advise is do not sleep with the boys. Most of the bad experiences I know are clients waking up to find the boy gone with some of their goods. I enjoy hanging out and playing during the day, and sleeping alone.

I always rented airbnbs in Rio and never had a problem bringing guys. Rather the opposite, several doormen were very cooperative and would have fun with the number of visitors. Most of the places I rented did not have security staff and check in desk. Instead, just janitors taking care of the place. Only once I rented in a building with a full desk and guards, just a few blocks away from the famous Hotel Atlantico (steps from Point). Zero issues.
I already rented the airbnb for my next trip. A small penthouse with a big terrace with a grill and a jacuzzi, in the boundary between Copa and Ipanema. Much, much better than an hotel, much more comfort and options to play with my friends.

From what I have read here in the various newspaper accounts of the murder, the location of the murder site is incidental to the reason for the murder. It appears this was a contract job which could have been carried out anywhere.
The alleged murderer didn’t reckon with the security camera at the residence where he cased the place for hours before going in and out for a total of 14 minutes, just enough time to do the dastardly deed. He also didn’t have to force entry in the early morning but appears to have let himself in and out easily which suggests he had a key.
This could point to the victim’s estranged husband who shared parenthood of a son with the victim. If it ads up with all the evidence, this appears to be a domestic violence case. Not a gay tourist hooking up with Mr. Goodbar(remember that film with Diane Keaton).
Do not worry about applying common sense to this crime particularities. The fear mongers will always find ways to accommodate to their narrative ANY crime taking place in Rio.

Empathy naturally springs forth in response to the distressing account shared by the OP. Amidst the wealth of valuable advice, I feel compelled to raise a different perspective.
It's worth noting that the OP is a newcomer to our community, and while his story may indeed be genuine, we lack the necessary context to ascertain its veracity. Importantly, the accused party is absent from this dialogue, unable to present his side of the narrative.
In light of this, I advocate for caution before divulging the identity of the alleged harasser. Consider the approach Daddy would have taken in such a situation – thorough investigation before reaching conclusions.
@ANotAMouse please know that my intent is not to undermine your experience or sincerity in seeking support. Should your account be genuine, I encourage you to heed the valuable advice shared above. However, we must exercise prudence when navigating such sensitive allegations within the confines of an anonymous online forum.

Maybe it's just me, but it seems fake when someone straight is doing this. That's just my personal feeling.
It's understandable that you might have reservations when it comes to intimacy with straight guys. The dynamic between someone who identifies as gay and someone who identifies as straight can be complex. However, sexual orientation doesn't necessarily dictate someone's ability to connect emotionally or physically.
Sometimes, we may have preconceived notions that can affect our experiences. It's possible that you may have had encounters with straight men who genuinely cared about your pleasure and satisfaction but you assumed they were gay.
At the same time, not every gay man will provide the same level of intimacy or authenticity. It's all about finding someone who truly connects with you on multiple levels, regardless of their sexual orientation.
Furthermore, when we talk about men who belong to a different culture, perhaps categories like gay and straight become less relevant.
PS> Editing just to make my point extra clear. A straight guy may deliver a horrible experience because he is a horrible provider, not because he is straight. At the same time, hiring a gay guy does not guarantee you will have a quality experience.

surge of migrants into the US has mostly been Venezulans (about 40% from one estimate) with Colombians, Haitians, and Central Americans being another significant percentage
Be glad Argentina is far away.

Moderator’s warning. The last 4 posts have been hidden as borderline political or way off the topic of migrant men in general.
Let’s stay on topic here.
Now I have a serious FOMO attack. I did not see them.

About haggling, I do not think it is necessary insulting. Those who believe so may be talking from their privilege or from their cultural limited literacy.
It could be insulting, but not necessarily.

Haggling has always been an unspoken reality in the gay escorts market. Of course, that is because so far the privileged tier of the market has had the monopoly...- pubic_assistance, MikeBiDude, + Lucky and 1 other

I am a native Spanish speaker and I have to agree with @BSR, querido @José Soplanucas To me, “aplícate el cuento” sounds perfectly natural and it is an expression I have frequently heard and used. Such are the wonders of multiple varieties of Spanish. 🤷🏻
Absolutely, my friend. I was wrong. I suffered an episode of Argentine-centeredness.
And yet, the expression sounds so wrong to me that gives me the creeps.

Maybe it's not used in Argentina or even this side of the Atlantic, but I hear "aplícate el cuento" occasionally on Spanish TV, basically means "practice what you preach." Here's an entry in a Spanish-English dictionary:
aplicarse el cuento loc verb coloquial (actuar en consecuencia) take your own advice, follow your own advice v expr Tú que tanto hablas de ser responsable, aplícate el cuento y pórtate como un adulto. You, who talks so much about being responsible: Take your own advice and act like an adult. By the way, I never translate from English to Spanish. My brain just doesn't work that way. That's why I always warn people that I'm the worst translator on the planet.
You taught me something. It sounds horrible to me.

Oops, sorry, I'm the typo king ... "el" not "al." Thanks for pointing it out.
PS: while I do use Google Translate for languages I don't know, occasionally because I don't really trust it, I never use it for Spanish.
You did not make it any better. I have to be interpreting to understand what you mean. Was my guess accurate? You seem to be translating literally something like "walk the talk" (I am unsure), but literal translations often do not work.
PS:
if my guess is correct, better translations would be: "hay que predicar con el ejemplo", "hay que hacer lo que se dice". Or, "una acción vale más que mil palabras". Or a little bit more bitchy: "hablar es fácil".

Aplícate al cuento.
Uh? This is an example of Google Translate delivering nonsense. What did you feed it with? Walk the Talk?

I thought about trying to teach them a little English but I don't want to be exploitive about it. One guy was a bit interested in that but the other guy (Morbid penetration) like didn't even change the ad language when I told him that was a weird thing to have in your ad. Haha.
Well, my suggestion may not be the best one for these particular guys, but I do not understand your concerns about exploitation. You are not asking for a discount in their escorts fee, you are offering a fair trade: I tutor you for one hour, and then you tutor me for the same time. Of course any unfair deal is out of the table.
By the way, "morbid" is how Google Translate understands "morbo". You cannot feed a translator with slang, the chances are you will get nonsense.

Denver, like many cities, has seen the arrival of many migrant men in the last year or so. Primarily from South America, some of the sexiest men are turning to escorting while many other opportunities remain closed to them.
I've had a bit of experience with the guys in Denver, but am definitely curious if other on here have had encounters as well. A few things I've gathered:
1) Most have come within the last year and know little to no English. Unless you communicate to them in Spanish, they likely will be using Google translate to communicate with you. Some things are often lost in translation and you see it in the ads as well. One guy in Denver says he enjoys "morbid penetration"in his ad. Not trying to make fun of these guys, but you have to realize that they may not be able to communicate in English well.
2) That said, they are fun, sexy guys that have a genuine aim to please. I've found these guys have been among my best recent hires. They have limits of course but they are willing to do quite a lot and have nice dicks and sexy bodies. I've always found they look exactly like their pictures. They are willing to send pics of themselves for verification. And if you know Spanish, they are interesting conversationalists. Some have definitely had quite a journey in life.
3) They often live together in groups. There's defnitely a group of about 3-4 guys who are living together in Denver. It sounds like they're more friends then boyfriends but they apparently would be down to work together and I know they also do OnlyFans and other things together. I don't get the vibe that they are being taken advantage of anything. I certainly hope that is not the case.
4) Overall, if there's a new Latin guy that catches your eye, I say go for it! They do know the business though and they charge the standard $300 as most guys in Denver do. We shouldn't try to go cheap on them just because they are new or naive. I think they are absolutely worth donating what they ask.
Anyone else have recent experiences with recent arrivals to our country? Any tips or experiences to share? I'd be curious if and how a non-Spanish speaking person hired one.
Also we no longer have a politics thread for good reason, so please don't view this thread as an invitation to any kind of political discussion or anti-immigration talk. I am just honestly curious how other members have interacted with these guys or even if they are in many other cities. Denver has a solid half-dozen guys but perhaps we are an outlier.
I do not think there is any significative difference between documented or undocumented escorts regarding quality and safety. You will have the same chances to get good or poor service, you will have to take the same safety precautions you take with escorts who are US citizens.
You point to the most significant difference and challenge, the language barriere. You are already working through that challenge quite successfully, it seems to me. I would only suggest you to see this difficulty as an opportunity. These guys are probably enthusiastic about learning English, and that opens the gate for you to develop rapport. Consider offering trades like weekly meetings where you chat one hour in Spanish and one hour in English. Not only would you foster rapport from delivering to their need, but also from the natural empathy we feel when a foreigner wants to learn our language. Of course, this is in addition to any non educative deals you may want to make.
The other significant difference I see is, as pointed in this thread, that these boys are relatively more exposed to all kind of risks (traffic, exploitation, health, poverty, etc) than US citizens. I am glad they are meeting a decent man like you, who genuinely appreciates them and is not trying to take advantage of their situation.

I guess we all know Robert Graves' Greek Myths? It is an easy read and a great catalogue of all Ancient Greece myths and mythology. The best parts are when he traces the myths to their origins in different cultural and social practices. Accepted and condemned homosexual acts are common places.

Hello @José Soplanucas, I really like your site. I am planning a trip to South America in March, and one option is Colombia, it looks like there are many hot guys there. I have been in Brazil several times and love how easy it is to find hot boys (GP) in saunas, plus you get to meet and hang out with them first.
I was wondering if that is possible in Colombia, I know there are some saunas but not sure if they have rent boys. I checked mileroticos.com and there are some interesting options, but I saw you mentioned webcam boys, many are hot too! How do you contact them or find out who offers escort services? Do you message them in chaturbate.com?
I am a top too into young, smooth, toned or athletic guys of all skin tones, and was wondering if I would enjoy my stay in Colombia as much as previous ones in Brazil. Language is not an issue because speak Spanish.
There are other posters much more knowledgeable on Colombia than I am. I am sharing only from my relatively little experience, one visit to Bogota and two to Medellin.
For unpaid sex Grindr works great, and also to find escorts. Mileroticos has never failed me so far. Chaturbate was the last trip experiment and it worked well, but demanded a lot of my time.
I would follow boys I like with not a lot of viewers, so he would have time to chat with me. I would skip the first pages of Chaturbate, filtered for South America, and explore the guys page 3 and behind. You have to be very tactful because they have monitors. I was suspended once, for soliciting. As it was my first time they reinstated me as soon as I acknowledge the rules.
Usually we would exchange IG or Twitter, and on those platforms keep chatting freely and directly.
If you loved Brazil, you will love Colombia.

I don't know about being "pitted", and I've never met a black African or Haitian immigrant who didn't see this country as a dream, a place full of endless opportunities.
Obviously, you just do not know enough people.
