It seems to me that the answer to your question is implicit in what you say: "not to pay over the going rate", "guests in that country", "shouldn't inflate the price, disturb the economy, piss off the locals", "low price taking advantage of the guys".

Everything needs to be in context. What seems like a low price here may be the going rate and may not be a low price in the context of another country's economy and cost of living; if so, the "low price" by American standards is *not* taking advantage of the guy. On the other hand, the same "low price" in the context of a different country's economy and cost of living may indeed be a low price and taking advantage of the guy. Paying a low foreign going rate to a guy here would definitely be taking advantage, including paying it to a foreigner who is here temporarily, since his expenses here are on the scale of the American cost of living, to say nothing of his travel expenses.

No, taking into account the fall of the real, it's *not* as whopping an increase. It seems more like a way of preserving the pre-fall value/price. It just means that we don't benefit from the fall of the real in this case. "Whopping" is if you look at it from the post-fall side, which isn't really fair.

If I remember correctly he said that he is going to NY and Chicago.

Did you notice that his rate is for 2 hours, not 1?

Typical rate in NY is $250/hour. Typical rate in Chicago is $200/hour.

So it looks to me like his rate is on the *low* not high side for NY, and about right for Chicago. Except that you have to do 2 hours. But from the way he looks you'd probably want more than an hour anyway. I know I would.

 

About the Brazilian rate I dunno, but looking at his site and his review he does not strike me as a street hustler (understatement) or baths lizard. If he charges that guys must pay it, and I guess you get what you pay for. And anyway the Brazilian rate is a real bargain by American prices. Where can you get a guy who looks like that for $50/hour?

I've taken several guys from the baths (in both Rio and S.P.) out to dinner, on the town, overnight in the hotel and a leisurely lunch the next day. For that they all have been happy with 200 reals and, assuming the chemistry is right, eager to come back for more. This must be discussed in advance, of course.

Ther rates seem fine to me! So do the pix:9

If Reg was still posting to this site we'd would be getting a lecture about taking advantage of poor street boys, right about now. :-)

Maybe we should be.....

Well, that raises an interesting question. When we discussed hustlers, the majority, (or maybe just a few who were so vocal) thought a low price taking advantage of the guys, was morally wrong, etc.

Yet in discussions concerning Brazil or Argentina, we were consistently cautioned (save on post, with one affirming it, if my memory is correct) not to pay over the going rate. This premise was that we were guests in that country, we shouldn't inflate the price, disturb the economy, piss off the locals, etc. Another argument in its favor was a comparison with the average rent rate and the monthly take home pay of an hourly worker. The cost of living in Brazil is less than here for sure, but if it is a US based cost (or catering to tourists), it was still cheaper when I was there, but not a whole lot.

Still, Bruno's rate is 20% higher than that charged by an agency in Rio, and I would guess that Bruno's rate is probably closer to the going rate in Rio if the client is Brazilian or South American. Don't know this, but just my guess. And taking into account the fall in the rial, it is a whopping increase. He is cute, though.

[trilingual]

US$50/hr. is a reasonable rate in Brazil. Let's not start getting utterly spoiled, guys. Please remember that before the very recent crash of the real, a roll in the hay with a guy at the baths, which might last half an hour, ran about US$30. Private agencies and escorts were charging between US$50 - $80 for outcalls.

 

Also keep in mind that living costs in Brazil are creeping up as the real drops. So prices will soon be going up. Fasten your seat belts.

>I haven't been to Bruno's newest website, but I have gone

>to his old one and have immensely enjoyed it as well as him,

>but I cannot fathom his desire to charge $500 per hr

 

WHERE did you get $500/hour from???

Are you being bamboozled by the misinformation that cutbuns has been trying to put out about him?

 

His US rates are: 2 hours (minimum) - $400, 3 hours - $500.

 

GO to his website since you say you haven't been there.

Go look for yourself: http://www.intensoprazer.hpg.com.br

(By the way, the name of his website means 'intense pleasure'.)

 

>the logical rate would be to charge what the

>natives request.

 

That's exactly what he is doing per hour. True, he has a 2 hour minimum, but so do several other escorts in the US and Canada, including ones that have been reviewed here, although it is certainly not the majority practice.

 

cutbuns is this what you were trying to do when you hijacked my thread about his website in English -- to confuse everybody and spread misinformation?

[+ Axiom2001]

I haven't been to Bruno's newest website, but I have gone to his old one and have immensely enjoyed it as well as him, but I cannot fathom his desire to charge $500 per hr when he does finally come to the US. Since he's new to the escort scene here, the logical rate would be to charge what the natives request.

 

If he is really in demand during this first visit and an extremely adept "sex worker"/escort (man-pleaser) and his being the rave of all who encounter him-- then perhaps on his second and third, etc. visit he could request an increase in rates, e.g. $300, but it is his life, and if the men want to dole out this much "bread" to get sexually fulfilled, so be it! I know I want be one of the men forking out this much cash.

[marc anthony]

Axiom: He is charging $500 for 3 hours. His rates are $400 for 2 hour minimum and $500 for 3 hours. Those are reasonable for US rates.

Hey guys lets listen to the guys who are the experts. Trilingal is out in front figureing it out for us consistenly and a few others as well Marc Anthony is our out front scout especially for the twinks LOL SO if they thell us its a Bargain I for one believe them HUGS Thanks guys for providing us with this wonderful INformation

[marc anthony]

Brazil Nut: I don't think you need to get upset about the confusion surrounding Bruno's trip to the US.

 

Two things are not confusing...

 

1) He is fucking GORGEOUS!

2) Enough people realize that so he will be both busy and well-compensated during his trip here.

 

So don't worry. I am sure Bruno will have a great experience during his first trip here. Just hope his travel itinerary matches mine so I can be one of the lucky ones!

>His US rates are: 2 hours (minimum) [/font color=black]

 

If he has a two-hour MINIMUM, he'd better be fulling prepared to have his ass pounded for TWO HOURS and to shoot his load at least THREE times. I wouldn't be paying him $400 to chat about America and how it differs from Brazil for one of those hours.

 

Economically yours,

 

FFF

He is not that good in English, still learning, so you would not have to talk for an hour. Most of us here would probably be happy if he just shoved his cock in your mouth for two hours. At least we'd get some peace!;-)
