I am having a great time here. Check my report on the sauna above. It is just my first week, my only doubt is whether I will love Clube 11 after a month. Everything depends on the turn around of boys. It looks like the standard price here is 100R for a full service programa. I am offering 150 and the boys are treating me like a Queen. I am surprised all the boys I talked to (about 10) are openly versatile. Back in 2017, when I visited for the first time, that was not the case. And when you meet Bahianos in Rio, they are always only top (at the beginning). I am gladly impressed by this change. The sauna is celebrating its 20th anniversary week,  a big party is planned for this Saturday.
This coming Sunday is the local gay pride parade, from Praia do Porto da Barra down to Ondinas. I will probably be there if the crowd is not overwhelming (I do not like to be squeezed). I guess I could keep my distance from the most heavy crowded sections of the parade. If I feel safe pulling out my camera (I think I will), I will get nice pictures. There is an after parade party at Zoom, so I will probably go there for the first time.
The city and the people are fantastic. Everyone is very welcoming and friendly. However, I do not think I would like to live here. I hate walking up and down all these hills. Today I took a day off to rest, my right knee is killing me (I had a surgery 10yeas ago). Besides that, poverty is too ubiquitous and too many buildings, often beautiful ones, are falling in pieces.
I went to the Museu de Arte Moderna de Bahía and saw some very appealing artwork, but everything would look so much better with more investment. After my visit there, I attempted to walk south to get to the Museu de Arte, but my knee forced me to call an Uber to go back home to put some ice on it without reaching my intended destination. Before taking the Uber, I walk through a path between the highway and the favela you see bellow in the picture. There were homeless people living on the path, they could not even afford the favela. They smelled horrible and looked like corpses, malnutrition and heavy drugs. It made me very sad, so much misery in such a beautiful natural scenery. 
 

There were over 168 reports of Grindr outages on Sunday evening in Glendale, where the Charlie Kirk memorial took place, a staggering increase from the baseline number of two. Maybe the available escorts were overwhelmed?

Fuck yeah

Unfortunately, we cannot create surveys in this subform. So if you want to have a little bit of fun, reply stating which one is your fav picture.
Mine is #4. I feel like he is looking at me with admiration.

With Muslims or with Homophobic Theocracies? Ask our loving Christian brothers and sisters in Uganda and the surrounding vicinity. 

I kind of agree. He does not need to apologize, he needs to educate himself. It is quite easy to explain how a child has two parents of the same gender, at least you are troglodyte. 

Fuck yeah

Fuck yeah

Fuck yeah

Of course, from the infamous LPSG's thread.

Just getting done with a trip, two very attractive Latin companions along with me.  We went to the drag brunches, gay bars etc.  They are very good dancers and most everyone’s eyes were on them.  I’d just look at people and lip “nope” and they were respectful.  Unfortunately one night we had a stalker - and all of a sudden one of my companions became very “intoxicated” with a stranger offering to “help”.  Fortunately I’m always on yellow alert or it could have ended badly.  I actually ended up calling an ambulance an hour later - very scary.  Thank God he’s fine.
As for me if I received an unwanted digit in my rear I’d be angry.  Only one?

Of course, from the infamous LPSG's thread.

Amazing that the NY terrorism charges were dropped.  He has an amazing legal team!
Thank you for posting the link to the NY Times article.
And no, I am not justifying what he did.

Judge dismisses terrorism charges against Luigi Mangione.   The next hearing will be on suppression of evidence illegally collected.  Could a jury actually set him free? 
 
 

Going 56 miles per hour in a 55 mile per hour zone is a ticketable offense, but if you got such a ticket, most people would consider it a bogus situation.  
It seems some of the issues you had were 56 miles per hour in a 55 and others were 75 in a 30.   The finger probe to insert, 100 in a 30, way too fast and probably worthy of condemnation.   The first rub of the leg at the bar, for me 56, returning and going higher shows disrespect and an ongoing desire to speed and that is where the line is drawn for me.  Your mileage may vary.
