Where's the news from Rio?

[robbguy]

Hey, guys,

We have 20+ M4M'ers in Rio and we have no news about the party, etc.? Will somebody please post something? Tomcal? Gulliver? FloridaRobb? I understand most of you are very busy with your pursuits, but we stay-at-homes are dying to find out even the smallest details about the happenings. How is the weather? How many people showed for the party? How was the food? Which boys were there? Did anyone take pictures? It's raining, grey, cold, and dreary here in Massachusetts right now. Please send something. ASAP. We're dyin' here! :-) Hope all are having a great time. Say hi to my boys. Robbguy

[Guest Tomcal_]

Robbguy, sorry for the lack of posts, but FlRobb, Gulliver and I have been busy. Guliver working on the house project and the rest of us lining up afternoon and evening agendas! The party at 202 was great, well over 40+ boys there, and about 18 M4M's Monday's party was a sucess. Last night we went to 117 and there were at least 30 guys there about 10 I had never seen before and ended up with a three way with two of the dancers from S.P. will tell you more in a email.

[robbguy]

Thanks, Tom. Figured you guys had your hands full (literally and figuratively). Looking forward to hearing all about it and NYC too. Yake care and hi to all. Robb

I would love to fill you in with news but I am laid up at the hotel with a nasty case of Brochitis. Thankfully, we have several doctors in our group and I picked up my stuff yesterday at the drogeria. That, liquids and the hotel's great chicken soup should make me right in time for my flight back next Tuesday.

Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Well I too have had a somewhat unusual trip. I got a bad cold right before I left and and have suffered from it the entire trip, but worst by far since I arrived in Rio last Friday. I even lost my voice almost entirely so that I didn't even want to suck dick--thereby almost defeating the purpose of the trip! but my time (3 days) in Foz do Iguacu was wonderful. I went with a sauna boy I knew from Lagoa in Sao Paulo--Carlo Romano made all the arrangements and it was perfect for both of us. The real problem in Rio is that I'm in love with this guy and don't want any of the other boys. Well sometimes I force myself, just to be polite, but except for Marciel--beautiful sweet and 19--I'd almost rather stay in the hotel and watch TV. Also I should mention a very lovely and hot black guy named Paulo at 117. His skin is very dark but a lovely rosy glow still shows through on his cheeks and his eyes and smile, well they're just as beautiful as Brazil. He's from Recife. He has the ability to be agressive, attentive and very gentle all at the same time--a wonderful concoction I must say.

 

I also want to say a bit about the party. I think it went very well and that everyone who attended had a good time. Many of my new friends here pitched in and really helped pull it together, and I'm very grateful to all of them for that. But a party for 65 people--with the possibility of more if all who had signed up actually showed here--required much more planning and leg work that any of us had realized before. When it was just a few people, we could arrange it with the hotel in a couple of days, go buy the drinks ourselves and that was that. This time we had extensive negotiations with the hotel (thanks Gulliver!) and, without going into all the gory details, it consumed my first three days in Rio. None of us wants to do this again. If another party happens, it will either be put together at the last minute like the first few, or it will be put on by others. Well since I'm hacking away here like Violetta in the last act, so I'd better get up to my room and take my possibly narcotic cough syrup, Finitoss. Love and lip smackin' from Rio. SF Traveler

Do you really think reports of gringos with colds and bronchitis sharing sexual partners with local Carioci, and being layed up in bed in their hotels is a great tourist advert for Rio? Just asking?

[trilingual]

You mean you never got a cold while traveling? Or did you ever consider the possibility that you could catch a cold from a local person? Get a life, dear!

Did you ever find a tourist ad that showed people hacking away with bronchitis and sneezing away with colds? Get serious, dear!

[trilingual]

This isn't a tourist ad. This is a bulletin board. One on which you have nothing constructive to add, I may point out.

[axebahia]

>This isn't a tourist ad. This is a bulletin board.

 

Funny, I guess all those descriptions of these reports as "travelogues" must have been mistaken, might I add?

[sf traveler]

First, I report on my personal experiences. Good, bad, indifferent. Whatever colds etc. I've had, have not distracted from having a great time here. Second, Tri, did you forget that I told you I didn't have your number? I'm leaving tomorrow morning and I haven't seen you since the party. Possible dinner tonight before my 11pm date?

WHY IS THIS IDIOT NOT 86ED FROM THE LIST. TRI, PLEASE DO SO

[Big Daddy]

My first thought was to post a message that simply stated, I could try and attempt to tell you about Rio and its wonderful people, but you simply would not believe it.

 

First of all, Rio is far more than just sex, gay or straight. It is a life style in itself. For the first time in my life I actually feel free (and I do not mean politically). I am free to walk down the street holding the hand of a new friend, who will lean over and spontaneously kiss me, with no thought of embarassment. I have met a truly beautiful guy, a Brazilian Dutch "boy" who last night in a restaurant kissed me, and several other patrons actually applauded. It was almost like as if he asked me to marry him. He was just being very sweet and attentive. There are many things to do and see. I took Wanhallen to Sugar Loaf and Christ the Redeemer. He had never been to either. That is kind of like living in Arizona and never going to the Grand Canyon. Today we went to the Atlantic Forest outside of Rio and it was spectacular. Tomorrow we are going to Petropolis to see the summer palace of the last emperor of Brazil.

 

The party on Monday was actually a great success. I would guess that there were at least 40 garrotos (Brazilian term for a young man and not derogortory). The Americans for the most part (one notable exception)all were appropriate and had a good time. By appropriate they did not treat the garrotos like pieces of meat. There was several garrotos to satify any taste or fetish. You just cannot imagine how nice most of these guys truly are. Many of them are straight and have families, yet their culture allows them to explore the gay side of life, without abuse.

 

Not in this lifetime could I even begin to compete with Tomcal. He is without doubt a record setting sex machine. I doubt if he could provide a summary of his conquests without a palm pilot. Every night we meet at Corroziha (SIC)at 11:30 and there are garrotos everywhere.

 

There is line from Auntie Mame, from the end of the movie where Mame is telling her young grandnephew, "Ï will show you things that you only thought could be imagined" or something to that effect. Well, Rio is just that.

[Guest Gringo]

...I think the line you're thinking of is: "I will open doors for you. Doors you never even dreamed existed." That's the kind of eye opening experience Brasil is. :+

[Guest Daddybottom]

Hi big daddy

 

I was surpised when you said Rio was very special because you could walk down the street holding hands and kiss a guy with no embarassment. I've been able to do this in Paris, San Francisco, New York, Montreal and Washington DC. What there more to it than you wrote?

[trilingual]

Possibly Bigdaddy doesn't feel as free to walk down the streets holding hands with another man in Phoenix, where he lives. (Of course, nobody WALKS in Phoenix, either, but that's another story.)

 

SF Traveler: Sorry we crossed tracks. I called your room a couple of times but there was no answer. I left messages, with my phone number, so I don't know why you never got them. In any case, I'll e-mail you later with the phone number so you know how to reach me next time! BTW, after you left the party and the drinks were gone, I billed a couple of agua minerais to your room, in case you're wondering what that extra bill was about. Also, I forgot that we're expected to add on a tip for the "caixinha" for the waitstaff, so I gave the waiter R$50. Even though service was included in our bill, I don't know how quickly they distribute the proceeds, or exactly who gets what and when. Plus the staff who stayed for the party usually go home much earlier and like so many working class people probably live very far away, so I'm sure they could use some instant ready cash to get home with. Besides, he worked his butt off, and the party was very nice, so I felt it was appropriate. Anyway, more later when I e-mail you. Hope you're feeling better!

Your English isn't as good as you think it is. A "travelogue" is not the same thing as a tourist ad. It's a description of a travel experience. That's what you get on this board, both the good and the bad. If you re-read all of the postings, you'll see everything from warnings about how to avoid crime and exposure to dengue fever to accounts of unsatisfactory escorts. Since most posters seem to have overwhelmingly positive reactions to their experiences in Brazil their reports tend to reflect that. I'm sure that galls you no end, since your own views of everything are so negative and mechanistic, not to mention hate-filled and twisted. But if you don't enjoy reading about other people's mostly positive travel experiences, feel free to go and haunt some other, more negative website.

[Big Daddy]

Never been to Paris, but been there, done that in all the rest you mentioned. Maybe at the Castro in SF I would not feel strange, but in Rio, I can kiss, hold hands or snuggle ANYWHERE. Maybe it is just me, but that is how I am.
