I'm starting off with a disclaimer. I have every intention of adding to my trip report each day I'm down here. However, I already have a feeling that I'm going to miss a few which probably means I'm either going to forget details or confuse a couple. Apologies in advance.

This is my first trip down to Rio in 5 years. I'm not saying that I was a Rio expert before (or even an advanced novice), but I had an easy routine that I loved! And it definitely included HELP every night for those HELP haters out there. So this trip is all about re learning everything and trying to find ways to overcome the exchange rate differences. That was definitely a kick in the A#@!

Day 1 of 10

Arrived in Rio after 16 hours on a plane or sitting in a terminal. Amazingly I was in a pretty good mood despite thinking that American had lost my bag. In the end, they are just really, really slow in unloading them. I'm wondering if that's a Brazil thing...

I had booked a room from Don at amerioca.net and he had a driver pick me up from the airport. When I got to his store front, I realized that he wasn't joking when he had said that he had changed! Barely recognized the guy! I guess the 2 am drinks at Alcazars are off my trip report! After a quick lay of the land from Don, I had about an hour or so before I could get into the room, so I had lunch at Cena around the corner. Costed about 11 reals for a fairly small plate.

When I got back to the travel agency, Don was telling me about this great girl from one of the agencies. I raised my hand and said ME! She was in my room about an hour later which was about 15 minutes after I got into the room. The session was awesome! Everything you come down to Rio for! She was hot, passionate, open to a lot of things and really easy to talk to. Between her english and my spanish, conversation was easy which is just the icing on the cake. I'm sending a photo in with her face cropped out. HOT!

I had big plans of finding something to eat that night and then heading down to Luomo's which had been one of my favorites in the past. I ended up eating barbecue from a street vendor. The chicken had the soft pink, glassy look that says it should have been left on a few minutes longer. I'm hoping I don't pay the price tomorrow for my culinary adventures. And the terma trip... well... I'm writing this instead and then I'm going to bed. Apparently, I'm not as young as I used to be b/c, if i'm reading the clock correctly, its only 7:30.

Have a great trip.

We are of course waiting for more details.

Don't do anything we would not do.

MM

Was the escort named Nivea, by chance? I've received good reports about her.

Have fun! I'll be down in three weeks, and the time can't pass quickly enough.

I think you picked a good time to be in Rio -- not that many tourists.
I had thought 4x4 was the best termas and a good opportunity to try have girls over for the night. Balcony is basically the only late night option; but it is amazing how girls are there into the wee-hours. Prices are basically back to fair-market as opposed to out-of-control of Help like it had become . You never saw that if you were there 5 years back.
Some cute girls at BelPrazer and Duda's downtown.
Next Tuesday is a Brazil WC-game and you should head to a termas -- good opportunity to have the girls to yourself as the guys will be glued to the tv.
BelPrazer is open on Saturdays and so are those agencies Karla's Models/Scort Show. I don't think that was the case 5 years back.

BD - Yup. It was Nivea. I'm going to meet Jag tonight, but I will probably see Nivea again during the day. I have a feeling I've found my new routine!

CL - Thanks for the tip. I'll definitely hit up a terma on Tuesday. I love those odds! I also have every intention of spending a good bit of time at Balcony. Should be interesting...

After a nice 14 hours of sleep, I hit the road running. Grabbed a coffee from across the street and asked Don to make another phone call to Nivea! No breakfast, no lunch, just dessert. My day was starting with a grin! Oh… and the coffee was great! Café granche… or something like that.

What started off as a 2 hour affair at noon became an entire afternoon. The first two hours were a repeat of the previous day, but then we fell asleep and completely ran past the first two hours. She was really nervous that the agency was going to be mad so I offered to extend the meeting another 2 hours. We were already into the next two hour session by at least an hour so I thought we would just grab a quick bite to eat and then call it a day, but dinner ended up being a two hour affair also. She actually tried to pay and then refused my offer to pay for another two hours. I ended up just slipping her cab money at the end, which I overpaid by quite a bit. Well worth it; although, if I continue seeing her, I could be in real trouble.

However, there is nothing to take your mind off a girl like another girl! So off to Balcony I went. I gotta say its really, really different from HELP. The girl to guy ratio was horrible. People couldn’t move around very well. I was accosted by a not so attractive girl who was well intentioned and then spent the next 30 minutes trying to politely get rid of her. I guess I’m too polite.

I did pull an attractive blonde from there, Paula. She started off at 300. I responded with 200 and she countered with 250. I said “completa” and she said “si”. I said “sweet!”. It was off to the races. Unfortunately, I think my horse ended up a little lame. Apparently, she assumed that an asian would be small, but in her mind I was hung like a horse... hmm… Completa was out of the picture. So was most other types of sex. I did get a half way decent massage and a quick morning bang.

You win some. You lose some.

Day 3

Paula left around 8 or 9 am. I slept in to about noon and then headed downstairs to Don’s place. I wasn’t really feeling great, but a little cold can’t stop you when you’re trying to celebrate your 30th birthday in style! Met “L”. Nice guy from Australia who’s also using Don’s services. We ended up heading off to L’uomo. It’s like Nirvana in there. I seriously thought I had died and gone to heaven. I kind of wanted to see my old favorite but one of the other girls that I remembered from before let me know that she no longer works. Too bad. It used to be great!

I ended up sessioning with Khatia (?) for 40 minutes. She’s 32 with a 17 year old daughter. Go figure! And… no… her daughter doesn’t work. I asked =) The session was okay. I think the saving grace was the completa. Otherwise, it probably would have gone down as poor. I can get a lot better in the US for only slightly more money… I know… heretical. But with the exchange rate and the increase in prices down here, its getting close.

AFTER I finished my session, L and I sat down for a drink in the bar area and there were these INCREDIBLE blondes. I was kicking myself! I will be back. No doubt about it. I have an agenda now.

Walked out of Luomo owing 283.20 which included a 40 minute session, 1 beer and 1 water. Plus, I had arrived before 4 pm so part of my entry fee was waived.

On a side note, the lady at the front desk is really cute…


Around 9 pm, I decide to session 1 more time even though I was feeling pretty terrible. I called Karen from riosexsite.net because she advertised English and anal. I want to mention that just because you can say “hi” in English doesn’t mean you speak English. I knew more Portuguese than she did English. That’s pretty sad.

We agreed to a 10 o’clock meeting but around 10 I had gone from bad to worse. I called and ask her where she was and she said she was just about to leave. I said not to come and that I was going to bed. She got into this little huff about spending all this time getting ready so I relented. She said she’d be down in 10 minutes. 25 minutes later I get a call saying she’s in Copacabana and it will just be a few minutes more. 20 minutes later I get a call asking me to repeat the directions. I was pissed at this point as I had been standing outside waiting for her. Fortunately, the waiter at Alcazar was nice enough to talk to her and give her directions.

This is where I’m going to freely admit that she was gorgeous! Exactly the type of girl I wanted, a blonde spinner with an awesome ass. That’s about the only good thing there was to this entire session. She started off by saying “you’re Japanese”. To which I replied, “yes”. To which she replied, “but your name isn’t… did you give me a fake name?”. Yeah… I wasn’t getting the greatest vibe, but couldn’t get past her looks. I brought her up to my room and then the rules began…. it was really starting to suck. I asked her if I could take a photo. She said yes… of her ass only and it would be extra. I passed. 10 minutes later after some horrible, horrible foreplay she notices the camcorder I have in the closet. She FREAKS out! I’m telling her that the camcorder is off and even show her that its empty. She insists that I delete everything. I spend 10 minutes trying to explain that I can’t delete something that’s not there. After, she settles down, I decide to end this early. I’m not as young as I used to be. After 3 pops during the day, nothing is functioning correctly. Plus, I’m sure the fever I had wasn’t helping. I told her to leave. She gives me this startled look. I nodded my head and pointed to the door. She said fine AND then asked for taxi money! There are some things that I will just never understand.

3 things I learned from this:

1. Don’t try to fuck with a fever
2. Don’t pay upfront (yes… I was a dumbass, but in my defense, this has never happened to me before)
3. Hide the camcorder better


Day 4

Sick as a dog.

Sick in Rio. Been there. It SUCKS! I hope you're back in the saddle soon.

Brent,

One big difference in Brazil is that you do not need to go to the doctor to get anti biotics. I usually call a doctor friend of mine, and he tells me what to get. I go to the pharmacy, buy the drugs and go back to bed.

In my peak Rio mongering times a few years ago when I used to hit up alot of the termas, I used to get sick all the time. Doesn't help when the majority of girls kiss a dozen guys a night....that cold virus is just passed around from one to the next.

Diarrhea was another issue in the beginning as I would get used to the food. My buddies would have the same problem...within a few days of arriving in Rio it started up. Took awhile for my stomach to accustom....

I hope you get better and get back to enjoying Rio.

I think all of us have learned the hard way that paying upfront almost never has a happy ending!

Maybe it's chicken flu from the half-cooked chicken he got from a street-corner barbacue?

Day 5

Reached the half way point… where did the first 4 days go?

I woke up feeling better but not great. Everything I ate had a really strange flavor to it, but wasting another day was not an option. Armed with vitamin C, I decided to march into battle.

But then my quandary struck. My original plan was to spend a 6 hour session with Nivea. But now that I’ve seen what’s offered at L’uomo’s, I really wanted to go back. What to do? To compound everything, I still felt under the weather and I wasn’t sure how long I could last. Decision made. Book Nivea for 4 hours early in the day and then go to L’uomo’s later that night. Sounded pretty brilliant in my head!

Reality – I spend 7 hours with Nivea and I think I need to see a therapist when I go back home. Something is obviously wrong in my head. The rational side understands everything, yet my mind is ignoring it all. Even knowing that I’m ignoring the warning lights isn’t changing anything. Its pretty pathetic.

On a side note… I wish somebody had mentioned that Cialis might make you hard, but it’s a bitch to finish! That was frustrating.

Day 6

Woke up late as usual and grabbed a café granche (one of these days I’ll figure out what I’m saying and what I’m drinking). I was thinking of grabbing a cab to L’uomo’s around 3 to beat the world cup game, but the moment I stepped onto the street I knew that wasn’t going to happen. It was packed! Bumper to Bumper. I’ve never seen it like this before. I’m sure some of the more experienced people understand Brazil and soccer, but for the newbies… soccer is not like any other sporting experience in the US. The US pales in comparison to brazil when we talk about a national pastime. They truly take it to a different level. I was pretty much told to forget about doing anything during the game because the city (country) shuts down. I don’t doubt it.

After a couple “lets meet up” fell through, I ended up heading to L’uomo’s around 8 pm. I was thinking that it would be absolutely dead, but I was wrong. I had my sights set on sessioning with the girl that “L” had sessioned with last time. He raved about her for days. I think he even went back for seconds. About 10 seconds after walking in, I’m accosted by Khatia and it takes me about 10 minutes to finally just tell her that I want a blonde today. She took it pretty well but wouldn’t talk to me for the rest of the night. I’m not complaining.

The session with Lola was pretty good. Great BJ skills and very willing to do many things but not completa. She did have to suffer through the remnants of my cialis. I couldn't finish and so she took one hell of a pounding. I would say that there wasn’t a great connection between us until the end of the session when we started to talk about her bikini wax. Really opened her up!

To be honest, at that point, L’uomo wasn’t living up to my memories from 5 years ago and I wasn’t sure if it was the girls or me. Yes, the girls were hot as hell, probably better than before, but I was starting to believe that things had become much more mechanical. I decided to go back to the bar area, grab a water and wait for Lola to come back out. I was going to thank her and go. But then I met my therapist.

Disclaimer – I remember her real name but not the name she goes by in L’uomo so you guys will just have to guess at who this is.

I had seen her last Friday AFTER my session with Khatia so I never actually talked to her. But this time, I smiled. She smiled. She sat down. I love how this works! After the first couple of niceties, I lean over and say… I want to be honest with you. And she gives me this incredulous look and says REALLY? (I’m in love at this point!) I ended up letting her know that I already sessioned and didn’t plan on going again so if she wanted to get up and leave at any point, I wouldn’t be offended. We ended up talking for 2.5 hours.

This is the first time I’ve gotten a real name and contact information unrequested without sessioning with a girl.

I did ask her what I should do for the remainder of my trip and for those of you unfamiliar with Rio, I thought I would pass on some suggestions she made to me. Honestly, there were about 10 things, but I can only remember a couple.

List in no particular order:

1. Tour the Favela
2. Visit Lapa in Santa Teresa on a Friday night
3. See the Parque Lage
4. If you want Japanese food (or asian food in general), try Asia in Santa Teresa

Walked out of L’uomos for 315.40 - 40 minute session, 1 beer and 2 waters

If anybody knows how I can combine all my reports at the end of this trip, it would be greatly appreciated.

And thanks everyone for the comments. Being sick down here definitely sucks!

You can combine them by copying and pasting your report pieces into a Word document, editing it to your liking, then copying and pasting the entire document into a new report. That may be the simplest way to put it together. You can then add the hundreds of pictures you've taken.

Seven hours with one girl? Hey, it's your money. Just remember that and don't put her on the payroll when you leave. She's on my to-do list.

lol... the pictures are coming!

I learned my lesson in the states. No girl goes on my payroll anymore. Besides my empty bank account is already reserved for my trip to Cuba!

Day 7

Day 7 was the wall. I woke with no particular desire to see or do any girl. Its pretty impressive. Normally it’s the only thought in my head, but sitting on the beach and reading my book sounded just as good. I had traded a few emails with Brazil Specialist when I had come down here so I gave him a quick call to see if he was around. About 6 hours later we finally met up. Interesting chap.

I only had the intention of picking his brain to see if he had any advice on where I should be going. Instead, we ended up heading to one of those unmarked, upstairs termas. Apparently it had just reopened a few days ago and he said not many people knew about it. Honestly, I’m guessing nobody knew about it as we were the only guys in there. The girls were astonishingly good compared to what I thought they would be. There were 6 girls. 2 were whales, but the other 4 were very doable. 1 of them (the only blonde) would have fit in perfectly at L’uomo. The price structured varied based on who you were. Locals and BS got 50 for 30 minutes. He arranged 75 for me for 30 minutes and gringos were being charged 100 for 30 minutes. Cover charge is 12 reals and includes 3 drinks. I didn’t get the rest of the price structure b/c I was going to session with somebody else. The facilities are okay. You know you’re not in a top tier Terma. Honestly, the thought probably won’t even cross your mind. But BS did say that all the rooms have a shower and toilet, which is pretty amazing to me. It’s too bad that I don’t have more time down here. Its definitely a place I would love to go back to.

The Terma is literally a 100 feet away from Frontera on Copacabana and Sa Ferreira. I would NEVER have guessed it was there. I’ve probably walked by it 10 times already on this trip. If I have a moment, I’ll go back and take a photograph of the entrance to post here. Then I’ll re read BD’s guide to see if he already wrote about it!

So onto the important part of the day… I would probably call this my only non pro experience of the trip. I use the term non pro pretty lightly. I knew what her street name was going to be, Juliana, but she introduced herself with her real name. She was extremely nervous. Spoke no English and no Spanish. BUT she was ABSOULUTELY gorgeous! Her face had this youthful innocence that was just captivating. She’s the type of girl you want to take home to your parents.

The sessions itself started off really slowly as I wanted to make her feel as comfortable as possible. Once she got going, she was awesome in bed! She was as passionate as any other girl I’ve had here. Did all the little things that I just loved. The funniest thing is that at the end of the session when I was editing some photos to email to her (she wanted a copy of her head shots) she asked if she could make a phone call. I said sure. Then she said I had to be quiet. I had no idea why until I realized she was calling her boyfriend to say goodnight! Too funny!

I may or may not post pictures of this one.

Side note – This one was a lot of work for me, but was well worth it. She was incredibly nervous when we first met. So much so, I thought she was going to leave. BS had to spend quite a bit of time talking to her. I don’t think she’s been doing this for very long and was very afraid of the language barrier once we were alone. I’m guessing the only reason that she went with me is that she knew BS and I was paying well. At the end of the session, I did ask her if she was feeling better about the entire situation. She said “yes”, gave me a big smile and then a quick kiss on the cheek. I assume that was her way of saying thank you.

Cost – 200 for 2 hours (I'm sure this could be negotiated but honestly she was so hot I was unwilling to chance pushing her away as I knew she was close to leaving initially.)

Brent-

I assume you're referring to "Club 53" at R. Sá Ferreira, 53 (around the corner from Frontera, next to the dentist's office). Yes, it's described in the '09 version of the Guide ;-) I'm updating the guide and was about to delete the info about it, as it closed about 8 months ago. Glad to hear it's reopened.

By non-pro I assume you really mean she's an independent, a freelancer. How did you locate "Juliana"? Inquiring minds want to know

BD

Yes, it has a "53" on the door. I should have guessed it was already in there!

By non pro, I mean a person who is really unsure of what to do with themselves. Regardless of the language barrier, she struck me as a very timid person who was trying to figure out what was what. If she was acting, it was one hell of a job, but I really think she's just new to this business and was trying to feel everything out. It was a great change of pace.

great trip report Brent!

Good report.

I was in Rio in May of 09. I met BS and saw his apartment. It was a bit of a shambles. He's well moved in that's for sure.

He set me up with a Juliana too. I think she came by while I was touring his apartment. She had a mono color tatoo on her right arm and one with a lot of red to it on her lower right leg. Petite body; smallish natural breasts with tiny aureoles but decent nipples. Same girl?

He said she was a model and I'd be helping her out if I took her back to my apartment. Except for the lack of a lively smile she was certainly attractive enough. Not a knockout but very pretty. I got the impression that she had reservations about the whole 'garota de programma,' thing but maybe she's just shy/timid.

I liked BS but have to say he seemed a bit hungry for extra money. I'm not suggesting he gets anything from the girls but he certainly jumped at the chance of getting a kickback from Monte Carlo for 'taking us,' (me and my friend) there. I told him I'd been there before and so the staff would likely remember me but he seemed pretty confident that he'd get that $10 USD per head.

He did show us another smaller termas, owned by the owners of that 53 place, that we would not have found on our own. Though, now that I think about it, the street tout we encountered near to it probably would have shown it to us at some point. Some day(s) earlier he had shown us several others but, since I was on the verge of collapse, I had to head to my apartment before the tour was finished.

Anyway, once again, good report.

CC

"Club 53" is a dump and yes that is just about on the corner of NS Copa and Sa Ferreira. Nothing indicates it is a brothel. I don't recall there being an entrance fee -- if you don't like it then leave and there is no charge. The girls are requested to tell gringos that 30 mins is 100R and 1-hr is 150R, which is double what Brasilieros are charged. Girls will come over for less than there.

BTW, I think that girl Juliana is a complete "fake". She uses the excuse of "I am not GDP" for being a lackluster fuck in bed. IMO, any girl who takes money for sex is in fact a PRO. She claimed her mouth was sore after a 5-minute BJ and has a mushy body from having a baby. 200R is way too much to pay a girl like that and you got taken advantage of. Cute face yes, but she uses the timid/shy/new excuse for being lazy in bed.
