I spent Dec/20 – Jan/6 in Brasil, here is my report.


Weekend in Săo Paulo

I started the trip with a weekend in Săo Paulo. I booked the trip too late and couldn’t score an attractively priced Rio ticket, and using miles I was only able to get a flight on TAM (AA miles) and thus connecting through SP (TAM doesn’t fly to Rio from the U.S., and coach was sold out, and initially business was also out… I booked in first for 125k miles, but checked nearly daily and was able to finally score business seats for 90k). I can’t sleep well unless I’m flat (as in 180 degrees flat), and using miles AA wouldn’t allow me to connect on a TAM flight operated by Varig (they’re merging so many are), so I was faced with a six hour layover. I decided no way I wanted either a 6 hour wait nor to deal with a GRU/CGH transfer (later I saw on the TAM website that the bus is very convenient and free for business/first passengers), so I booked the Sat/Sun night weekend in SP.

I decided on the Hyatt, as I had a earned some free nights in their “stay two earn one” promotion (runs until end of Feb I believe, free nights valid until end of Apr). The Hyatt is in Marginal Pinheros, next to the Shopping Morumbi, so I actually took the free transfer bus to CGH anyway and taxi from their (could have just gone to Rio after all!). The Hyatt is spectacular… only one year old… they treated me great and gave me the premium (Hyatt Gold Passport program) room class with bathrobes and the works. Only complaint is it is somewhat removed from about anyplace you’ll want to go, and not in a neighborhood-feeling type area (more a business area, and separated from anything at that). I have no idea what a room there might cost. I sampled nothing else that the hotel offers other than my room (oh, high speed internet worked good).

First thing I did after unpacking some was to hit a market (more like a 7/11 gas station food mart I’d say, about 3 blks away) to grab the essentials – lots of water, some champagne, and some chocolate. My first destination was Clinica Antares, and the 90R afternoon special (1hr thai-style massage with full sex). As for the girls on the website, I only found a couple all that attractive, so I arranged in advance with email to schedule Marina. I didn’t take any photos, as she is exact to her photos on their site – see http://www.clinicaantares.com.br/images/mariana/ . Only possible note needed is she has a little belly – noticeable in some positions but when on her back it’s small enough that her stomach is then flat. She told me that she’s only been at Antares for three months, and that she worked a year at Francebel before that. I thought “what a bargain, at Francebel she’d cost me 220R!” Nice little sexy massage for about 30 minutes, BBBJ, lots of kissing (she didn’t want to at first, and claimed she doesn’t with most clients, but soon relented) and about any position wanted. Didn’t try anal, so don’t know about that.

I spent the evening watching my NFL game, so I didn’t make it out until about midnight. Too late for Bomboa or Photo, so I stopped by some nonpro places in Itaim Bibi (near the corner of Faria Lima and Juscelino), and then headed to Kilt, with the plan of hitting Love Story at the 3a opening. Kilt was interesting enough, and some good looking girls, although no one I found all that compelling to go home with… and especially with the anticipation of hitting Love Story for the first time! I guess I was in Kilt for between one and two hours, almost thought of leaving with one girl... but no, I had to check out Love Story.

I arrived about 3a, walking the 3 or 4 blks from Kilt. 50R entrance and the place was already getting crowded. I can see why this place is called the Help of SP. Tons of girls, and lots of variety… but other than the way late start time, I have to make note of three main differences: first, Love Story is much smaller, maybe half the size of Help; second, while the high ceilings of Help allow the smoke to dissipate, Love Story is so thick with cig smoke that you can’t see half way across the room!; last, where Help has numerous places where you can escape being directly in front of a speaker and carry a conversation, at Love Story the music is blasting at what I deem an uncomfortable level. In summary, I liked what the place offered for garotas, but where I really like all the Help offers, at Love Story I find I’m suffering through the place (like a Miami disco!). Thus, if you don’t like to play the game in the US, but find you manage through Help, Love Story may not be for you… but If you love Help, then you just may find Love Story your thing. I eyed a cutie, but held out for a hottie. I continued to make eye contact and smile and say a few things to her every time I passed her way as I continued to work the crowd for someone compelling. Finally, it must have been around 5a, and I was ready to get home... so I committed with the cutie. I tried for a freebie, but she said she wanted to work so I offered 200R and she immediately accepted. I was not able to take any photos of her. Figures not more that five minutes later, a hottie comes in... and of course she’s eyeing me down the entire time. I caught up with her as I made ‘a bathroom run’ and Daniela tells me she goes for no less than 300R. I told her I’m not ‘that type’ of gringo, and I was already committed to someone though as pretty as she is, and we exchanged phone numbers.

After waking up with my Love Story girl from Saturday night, enjoying the hours together, and saying goodbye.. the next thing I knew it was late afternoon – a drawback to Love Story that you end up sleeping half the next day!... and longer if your garota hangs with you for wake up and next day sessioning. Turns out while I had decided to go the nonpro route for Sunday night and didn’t bother to call Daniela, the girl I didn’t hook up with from Love Story, Daniela has called my hotel looking for me. The urge gets the best of me so I invite her out for a Sunday night date. She asks for her usual 300R, but after 'discussions' we agree on 150R since I'd pay for the evening’s bar/food bill plus her taxi (about R25 each way). We had a great night in the same area of Itaim Bibi where I stopped the previous night, starting at Swahili for pizza rodezio then Monte Cristo, then returned to the hotel. Here are some photos and video:

Like the girl the night before, total GFE and a great time. Both did BBBJ, stayed the night, and enjoyed morning sex. I had a mid-morning flight to Rio (SDU) from CGH, which was on the way to her house, so we shared the taxi that far and she continued on.


Copacabana

Rio was so fun, the time blazed pass in a blur. I was traveling alone until my friend arrived the day after Xmas, so I arranged an apartment, Miguel Lemos 8 #903, through David. Nice apartment, given the expected lame bed and linens, and no super hot water... but I love the location and at least this unit doesn’t have the wall down the middle like #702 or #703.

For my first afternoon I hit 4x4, arriving about 3:30p. I barely was able to see enough of the girls to draw an opinion, when Kenmore, whom I was hanging with in the Boite, mentioned he was about to go hit 65. I had never been to 65, and knowing it wasn’t the easiest place to find, and always preferring to have a friend show me the ways when hitting somewhere for the first time, it was off to 65, arriving well ahead of 5p. All in for a 40 minute room with a girl was 220R.

I stayed in Copa for four nights, which included one terma run, two nights at Help, one date with a terma girl met on a previous trip for 250R (that's what I get for not discussing money at all until after she arrived), and one date with a non-pro girlfriend I met on a previous trip through www.amigos.com. My one Help pick up in this time was Miriam, an 18 yr-old adorable girl from Cuiaba... amazing tight little body, her breasts are much larger than her clothes show, and her ass and stomach are perfect for my tastes. She was leaving Help late one night, walking with her sister and cousin, same time as I was leaving alone (hey, 4 girls in 48 hours – I was pleased to get some sleep!). I sat and talked a while with them as they ate out of the back of a car right outside Help. It was Miriam’s first ever night in Rio and she had only started the programa in Cuiba about three months before. I pulled her out of Help two or three nights later. We never spoke of money until we we’re on our way to lunch the next day, and when she confirmed she expected something and I gave her 200R, she was disappointed it wasn’t 300R. I explained that I always paid 200R at Help, that for me it was the going rate, she started pouting for five or ten minutes as we made our way to lunch. I asked if she wanted to just go home and skip lunch as she seemed no longer happy with me, and she then perked right up and was a sweetheart again. Here’s some photos and video, she’s working Help until February, I’m providing a glowing reference for GFE, so post a follow up if you meet her and session!:

Leblon

The day after Xmas I moved to Leblon and the Leblon Palace where my friend insisted we stay. We would be focusing on the nonpro side of it, and he deemed Leblon as a key address for us. We visited Baronetti on a Friday and Melt on a Saturday. I realized that Help had a ton more hotties than either of these places (I have been to both previously), so we hit Help after Melt. He did Nuth on Sunday, but I just went to Help. Help had a lot of dudes on these nights, many more so than girls, but still many hotties in there.

Saturday was especially good, although with too many men, but many many hotties. I went home with a different Mirian (not Miriam). She looked outrageously gorgeous, and her backless, short dress had her breasts falling out a few times making her incredibly sexy. I don’t have photos, but this girl has dark straight hair, about 5’4”, incredible tight body, and looks more European than Brasilian. She lives about 30 minutes outside of Copa. She can be recognized by her 12-18 inch tattoo of a rose and stem that runs down her spine, and a small (smaller in size than a coin) spider on the back of her neck. I'm providing all this detail so you can look out for her!

She opened at 500R, I made some joke replies and started her lower, but I wouldn't go above 300R (I’ve never paid more than 200R in Help, but I had to have this girl and the prices seem to have crept up some for many of the hottest girls). I was sticking to 250R and her at 350R, and when I went for 300R she wouldn’t meet me. I left her, but later pointed her out to a young guy I made friends with and he told me he could get his dad to work it out, that his dad gets any girl there to do what ever he wants. Now, I don’t know what happened, and I can’t believe this man (nice guy, a little heavy set, full mustache style similar to say the golfer Craig Stadler or Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren, must be in his 50s, from Houston, makes many trips to Help and often has a table on the stage) paid her any money for me.. but next thing I know he’s putting her in my arms and telling me that she’s spending the night with for 300R. She seems GFE enough in Help and as we drive in her rental car to Leblon Palace.

In the room, she’s naked on the bed before I can even try to kiss her. I’m fully dressed, and she looks like she’s going to sleep. I ask “you’re sleeping?!!” and she says no, she’s not even tired. Talk about Dr. Jeckel and Mr. Hyde – she layed there like a dead fish. At one point I asked if she just wanted to leave, and she responded “what’s wrong?!”. She was sincere enough that I believe she thought her behavior was normal! She was happy to do about anything I asked, and we sessioned with as many positions that I’ve done in over 5 years... we must have had sex for three hours... But sex with her sucked, she was like a zombie (the prettiest one though!), repeating ad nausea "fuck me, fuck me, fuck me, fuck me... enough already... I don’t have any photos, but I'd love to hear if anyone will share their experience with her - and to warn off others as she’s a lousy session... Mirian, 9634-3505, her email is at ig.com.br.

Sunday is always a good day to hit Monte Carlo or Luomo, and we chose Luomo. It is still 190R all in for a 40 minute session. I was not at all happy with the talent level – I could’ve easily gone without sessioning with any of the girls working then. But, I went with Diana, a tiny blonde with a tight body if a not so attractive face. She’s one of those that insists on anal :-) . She wouldn’t allow her face to be photoed, but maybe you recognize her anyway? ;-) :

Buzios

My friend had met a French dude on his flight, and the three of us were off to Buzios for five nights for Revellon. During our previous days we had asked numerous taxi drivers what they would charge, and we knew from the Buzios Taxi online site that 200R was a good rate... we found a taxi that would take us for this price (many asked for or quoted up to 500R... locals and friends we had met in the clubs while in Leblon told us 200R was fair).

There was a 'blitz' about half way to Buzios. This is where the police stop all the cars, letting most go by, but pulling over any that seem to have tourists. We were searched, even opening many of our bags in the trunk. These guys were intent on finding weed. These smelled everything, including lighters... opened every imaginable container... and repeatedly asked us where we had our weed. They were so disappointed when they had to let us go!

There is no pro action in Buzios. We met a ton of nonpros at discos like Privelege, Zapatos, Guapo Loco, in the streets of Centro and on the beach at Geribá. It was incredibly young, say 16-19 yr-olds. Most the girls are quite agreeable to going back to your place with you for some fun in the bed. I left on Friday, and my friend tells me that the weekend saw a new crowd of 21-25 yr-olds arrive.

Here is a photo of what the bay at Centro looks like:




Back in Copa

There were no apartments available for rent, given the holiday season and no advance notice on my part, so I opted for the Hotel Orla at Rua Reinya Elisabeth and Av. Atlantica. The Orla is a very nice, almost new hotel. Bobby scored a US$85 rate for a superior room, and the next day I moved to a standard room for US$65. I was supposed to be charged 50R per guest visitor, but I put Miriam’s name on the room with mine. This way at least I'd get one night of no charge as I planned to repeat with her... But another girl I had visit was Melissa, and I just said she was on the room list and they didn’t check her card. And with two others I just had them wave my key as we walked by so I managed to escape with four nights of no 50R girl fees!

Here are some photos of a superior room. The standard room is smaller, but equally as nice with the same amenities and same lack of any view.





Help was off the hook for Friday, Saturday, even Sunday and Monday were surprisingly great. Fri and Sat were very crowed, Sunday and Monday very comfortable. All had many more girls than men. Help played the sports game of the night (NFL playoffs or the Sugar Bowl) on the big screen, so we entered early. The R3 price increase is likely just for season, and will be removed after Carnival I was told.

On Friday I sessioned a second time with Miriam, the girl from Cuiaba. After Buzios I wanted a known quantity for a sure GFE that went well into the next day. On Saturday I was about to go home with Melissa, she goes by Mel. You’ll recognize Mel as she looks a little Indian (as in the country, not the people), speaks perfect English from her time spent in London I believe, and always seems to have a necklace or belt that has the word “SEXY” in faux diamonds. Mel wouldn’t settle for less than 300R, and we had become ‘friends’ spending time talking during my many nights at Help, so I told her we should instead meet the next day. I left with a blonde Paulista whose name I can’t remember, and she wouldn’t allow photos.

Sunday I hoped to catch the early playoff game, but no one had it. I called Mel and we met at Meia Pataca, hung for a few beers, then went back to my hotel. Mel is quite popular now, has a great 18 yr-old type body, and is a fun session. I paid 200R. There are a number of photos of her on the Help photo site at http://80.78.233.178/index.htm and also on some site linked to the Help site, http://www.haziendavipclub.com/photos_e.htm... here some I took in the room:

That night at Help I met Silvia. I couldn’t stop watching Silvia as she danced. She was so beautiful I thought, and although she seemed to chain smoke, I was in lust! She tried to ask me for 500R, but I changed the subject in midsentence and assumed she didn't know that I heard her quote... and we hung out for about 30 minutes before I brought up Portugese lessons (Silvia spoke no English, but plenty of Italian as she has spent time in Italy with a boyfriend or working or both) and that I’d pay her 200R for some instruction. She immediately accepted and soon we were in a taxi. To my surprise she lives only two short blocks down Rua R.E. from the Orla, and she wanted to go there. She is quite a sophisticated girl, and her apartment was nice and in a very nice building. We spent about 30 minutes there, she is so playful, and she gathered some things before walking to my hotel (she said it was perfectly safe). That is the first time a Help girl took me to her apartment.

Silvia loves chocolate, and using chocolate during sex (you’ll have to imagine), so if you wish to session with her be sure to have some on hand (and champagne, too - and share your story please!). Silvia is 24, liked BBBJ and lots of kissing, and a very playful personality. Oh, she managed to go the rest of the night without a cig, too... here’s some photos and videos:

I ended my trip with a pre-airport run to 4x4 with Sterling. We arrived by 3:15p, but I found the talent at 4x4 to be dramatically less than my previous visits in May. The ratio was nice though, at about 3:30p I counted 11 men and 30-something girls. I hit my deadline, and needed to session in time to move on to GIG, so I went with Barbara. I didn’t find any girls there to be all that hot. But note, upon returning to the locker room to get dressed, say about 5:30p, I saw two hotties that I would have loved to session with. I saw neither of them from 3:15-4:30, so maybe they arrived later? Here are some photos of Barbara:

Unfortunately, it ends there, to my displeasure the flights to GIG and the U.S. were void of anything I could report. ...Leaving me jonesin’ for my next trip to Brasil!


A few footnotes…

ATMs:

My card is on Plus. Citibank and Banco do Brasil were the only banks that had a 1,000R max per withdrawl. Didn’t check to see if any allow multiple per day. Bradesco only allowed max of 600R, and Itau 500R. I did use a non-bank owned ATM at the gas staion katty corner from the Leblon Palace, and it allowed 1,000R. All of these (except Itau, which I didn’t use) charged me a US$2 transaction fee. I arranged for BofA to waive its per transaction fee (US$1.50 or US$2?) on non-BofA ATMs before my departure.

Restaurants:

The Marriott has its “Sushi Festival” on Mondays and Tuesdays, 6-11p; 37R gets you what ever you want, as much as you want, just ask for your favorites – sushi, sashimi, maki and temaki… your choice. I found the quality to be equal or better to Leblon Sushi, a trendy hotspot we hit one night.

Rio Sul:

I visited twice. Catching a taxi on level 4 for your return will route you over the mountain, and the fare is no greater than getter there – about 12R from ground zero.

Reports like this are one of the reasons I like Club Hombre.

FLhobbyer it looks like you had a real good time, and thanks for the pics.

By the way how was your session with Barbara?
She sure look's like a girl I got out of Help last year named Elaine.

Roadglide

Forgot to mention I went to Barbarela on Monday Dec/22, arriving about 11p and staying for just over an hour. 50R to enter. I was way disappointed with the talent. My intention was only to pass some time before going into Help, to maybe score some phone numbers in preparation for the slow days to come (Xmas), and never pay 400-600R rates!

But I could barely find girls I wanted to talk with. There were maybe two girls I found even attractive enough that I would passed up going to Help on my first night in Rio had they offered me free sex. Later in my trip I met a couple of good looking girls at Help, and they claimed they work at Barbarela, but not on the Monday I was there. One was the tall thin blonde, I can't remember her name but she had great eyes and not a perfect nose... but she always wanted 500R from me.

Barbara is a sweet girl, good enough session. For me it was a little rushed (on my part, nothing wrong from her) as I was worried about getting to the airport (I hate not taking the nonstop and losing those later afternoon hours on your last day).

I rushed two pops in the 40min session - I don't usually do that.

Just saw the videos, what kind of camera were you using? I am looking to buy my first digital camera, and like being able to take some short video shots like yours.

Great to see you had a good time. Your report is an excellent read.

I have the Canon S200 digi camera. It takes videos of 5-6 sec (largest format), about 20 seconds, or over 30 seconds. They have since replaced my 2 yr old camera with the S230, which in addition to being 3.2 MgPixel (vs. 2.1), has longer movie recording times.

This is one of the best cameras out there - IMO Canon has the best software and navigation. Only the Casio and Pentax can compare with size, and the Casio doesn't do sound. I'd have to give the Pentax and the Canon the top rating.

Hey FLhobbyer,

I think much of the really good Barbarellas talent has gone to Europe. I met several girls while I was in Europe that claimed to work solely at Barbarellas when they are in Rio. I wish I had my camera in Lugano, Switzerland as I'm sure many would have let me take photos.

The one really hot girl I picked up at Barbarellas that is in the ClubHombre top 50 photos (A2) was at Help back in September when I was there. She looked as good as ever but she went home 2 nights in a row alone since no guy would pay the fee she wanted. That's the amazing thing that many hot girls would rather go home alone then make less than the # in their head.

I had that same camera as you but I found it wasn't too good for low light conditions. I bought the Olympus 5 meg camera (which is dubbed the smallest 5 meg camera in the world). It's not as small as the S200 but it takes excellent pictures in low light conditions. Thanks for the report.

Regarding the low light conditions - you might be right. Of course, the flash fixes all that, and I find the photos that use the flash look just fine. But you can't use the flash when you're doing movie clips, and the termas had low enough lighting that none of my attempts at movie clips during terma sessions worked out.

GF, see what I wrote about my lame session with Mirian, that dress on your "A1" is the same dress although her's is black not white. But my Mirian looks a lot like the girl you label "Help" and "Diane" in your photos.

Nope. Mirian isn't "Diane". Diane is more Euro looking. A1 was a GREAT session. She wanted to repeat when I was at Help for the same price which I think I paid 300R for a few hours but I didn't want to repeat that night.

Guys are still talking to chicas about photos on this site. I had a garota email me today saying an American in New York told her that I was sharing her photo. Asshole. I'm not sure why guys feel it's necessary to tell girls about the content of this and other sites. Remember, at one point you were a newbie and you got some valuable information from these various sites. I only post full pictures (without face blocked) on private sites like CH but probably will have to mask them too if guys keep talking to girls about them.

On a positive note, this girl said that some dude was supporting her and she was in fact not working anymore at Help. This girl is a pretty straight shooter. I guess she has a boyfriend in Beverly Hills that is keeping her off the program. When I asked how much the dude was sending her she said R$4,000 per month. If you're from BH and you're reading this I guess you can have some small comfort. Good luck all.

Good work - great reading material. You're a natural reporter. Brazil is a place made in heaven.

The Canon S400 is the next version of the S230. It is 4 megapixel camera and you can take video for up to three minutes.

Note, the Canon S400 (replaces S3xx series) is not the next version of the S2xx series - the S400 has a slightly larger (by less than 1/2" in 2 of 3 dimensions) housing. Choose the S230 for size, choose the S400 for more MgPixels and longer vids, if you can sacrifice the size. I often place the camera in my jeans pocket, and the S400 is just that much too large.


Hey GF, I think you got my Miriam and Mirian mixed up. I don't have photos of Mirian - but she looks almost exact (to my memory) of your Diane... but then, I have to believe you'd remember a 12-18" rose tatoo... unless it's new. Oh, Mirian had what sounded to me like a Russian accent to her very good English.

FLhobbyer,

Thanks for a really nice report. Very enjoyable.

Enjoy the life,

Moondog

how do the termas work? when do you pay? Do you pay the girl directly or do you pay the house? and the bar do you pay for drinks or is that included. Any info would be appreciated.

there's so much posted here on terma's that i couldn't possibly do justice in answering your questions. start with bd's guide to rio and read through the discus posts on termas... i'll be glad to answer any questions you have after that :-)

FLHobbyer,

I have the S230 and a buddy has the S400. After reading your post about the size difference, we pulled out our cameras and compared the size. They looked identical to us. The differences we saw were the S400 has slightly rounded edges and is a bit lighter. But it is the same size as the S230.

Sterling

Flhobbyer,

Nice read. I have seen Mel many times in Help but never had a session with her. How was she?

She looks great with her clothes off, too.

She's one of those girls that likes to repeat over and over 'fuck me, fuck me'... that gets a little anoying. And hard to tell if she really was into me, as she continually claimed, or if that was her act.

I thought she was a nice girl, but now she seems to be ignoring me. My best guess is she reads her or she has a friend that tells her all... and she's mad that i posted her photo...

Hi, everyone, going to Rio on my first virgin trip can anyone give me advice where the action is in chrismas, I heard it is slow...thanks

It's slow compared to Carnival, but where isn't? Other than Dec/24-25 and Jan/1 - it's not slow at all. On those specific days, better to have a date already scheduled.
