Hello,
I have a request to fellow-mongers that have experience with finding English-speaking escorts/sex providers/semi-pros in Rio or Belo Horizonte. I travel there in a couple of weeks, but only for a few days, so would prefer to make as many arrangments as possible via email prior to my arrival there (make introductions, agree on services and fees, plan schedule, etc). This approach has worked for me in some other countries - but my internet search on Rio/Belo so far has generated either links to some highly overpriced "special" escorts, or Brazilian escort agencies with lots of pictures of beautiful ladies but no detail descriptions and no individual contact information. I sent a few detailed requests to those agencies that on their websites announce "English-spoken" and also display email addresses, but so far have received no feedback. I speak no Portuguese, so I would like the SP(s) to speak at least a bit of English...
Cheers, Jerry

Well, just IMHO, in Brasil it doesn't usually work to plan things very far in advance. Getting laid in Rio isn't very hard and you don't need to arrive with a list of girls or anything. For what you're asking for, you'll probably pay a lot and get worse service than if you just do the usual - termas, escort agencies, TA/Help, etc. It's best not to apply what you've done in other locals to Rio.

As far as Belo, I don't have any experience up there, but read the threads here for some ideas. You're not going to find much English spoken there since it's not a tourist spot at all.

why arrange anything based on photoshopped pictures , when you can go to a termas and see the goods before you commit?
The english speakers will be harder to come by in rio but can be had , its usually a signal to stay away though, since the service may be more mechanical ,and im sure the conversation will be pretty unenlightening.
if you want to pay a world class beauty to bring to restaurants and talk to that will be more expensive , Ive never been to minas but Im sure you will not have a problem finding gdps
