Spent four nights in Othon Palace, and five at Marriott (Its all about points - earning and spending them )

Taking excellent advice from here,there, and also friends - local as well as worldtravellers.
I mixed it up with escorts,beachs and termas. Nearly took a serious interest in a fellow traveller-on-a-convention-mode, all the way from MAN (Manchester)

Both the hotels are by the Copacabana beach, and expensive, if one has to use their own dime so to say. The policy about guests are vague at best. If one uses descretion, no one will stop you from bringing one in. [ I'll post a more detailed observations elsewhere on this topic ]

When travelling, I always book a room for two persons, king or double; thus I get breakfast for two where ever they have complimenary buffets.

Since I was really in a timezone funk having been unable to get an upgrade (damn AF, they can be a royal pain sometimes), I checked in the hotel and promptly called one of the escort agencies I had researched - Agreed to have the woman from Top Liner come at 3:30 -- then I immediately went to sleep, woke up around 3:00,
showered and waited for her [check details under Escort agencies]

I got comfortable with the after hours scene as week progressed, the beach and termas took over and internet agencies phased off -
Being close to HELP disco, I never ventured in a single night. Why might you ask - Simply, if I wanted a babe, I made sure she did not go in -- as I am not a late-night hangout kind of a person,I wanted the woman I chose, to be in my room by 9,max 10PM.

Beach Girls: Whenever I ventured to cross the street to go check the scene - from the hotel picked up two towels - [ Enter and exit from the side if going to the beach ], one for me, and one for a garota if I chose tobring her up to the room. My local buddy landed up the first few days and off we went, ready and able
On one occasion, I had a cutie in for a short-time (two hours) - By wrapping the hotel towel and her taking a shower below, helped in walking with her up the room Came back 2-1/2 hrs later, and sat down where my friend had his chair, while he was playing volleyball [ This town's second serious sport, after soccer seems to be volleyball ]

Another time, a weekend evening/night, after the volleyball game, I hung out with some five-six babes, few of the volleball guys and my local buddy by the nearby outdoor cafe, eating bucketful of xinxim de galinha (fried garlic chicken) and Chopps (beer). By this time, a pettite cutie had taken a fancy of me; at ten PM as I started to call it a day, she asked if she could come up. I said "sure', and no one in the group cared or probably noticed. We walked up to my hotel room, and as I turned around after closing the door, there she was swirling her bikini top --" Voce gosta de ?" or something to the effect of "Did I like what I saw ?".....To make the long story short, she stayed for breakfast, and then some - Till I sent her home with taxi money. This was closest I came to having a garota to stay around nearly a whole day, and nearly took her shopping :P .

Termas: What a concept !! One, I visited with a Brit-expat I'd met earlier, the second; I've written up elsewhere [Under the termas L'uomo section] These are similar to FKK clubs for folks who are familiar with the German scene.

Overnight/Longtime: This is a very tricky and YMMV kind of issue. Two, three of the garotas left me their phone numbers.....just in case....
Being warned by a few fellow punters from backhome,I chucked it as soon as then were out of the door - But I was sorely tempted to hang on to them as I do in SJO,YYZ and elsewhere

Damages: Lowest was taxi-money, and highest was 100USD from evening through post breakfast. Average was 150R for short-time.

Since writing a long narrative is not my forte, I will post bits-and-pieces in other sections.

CityDude, thanks for the report. Sounds like you have a good time. The termas really are something; I spent about 3 weeks this year in various termas just enjoying the scene. What other termas did you go to besides L'Uomo and how did you like that one? Hopefully the boss will send me to Germany so I can check out the FKK scene.

CityDude
Do you prefer termas or FKK???

Athos: FKK are different no ? It is really hard to do a side-by-side comparision. BTW, in many FKK clubs, specially in the major cities, we are beginning to see girls from Brazil,Thailand,Dominican etc. etc.

I'm making my first visit to Rio this fall - I've been going to FKK's for 4-5 years now. Should be an interesting comparison. My last visit to FKK Atlantis in Frankfurt was made all the more pleasant by the company of three garotas from Rio. One mulatta went by the name of 'Viagra' which had me laughing. The one morena that I spent time with was a true GFE experience and very good in the 'sack.'

All FKK experiences I've had have been BBBJ and generally less expensive (about US$ 50) than what I've seen described at the termas in Rio. There are a wide selection of women at FKKs - East Europeans, Germans, Latin Americans, and a few Asians and Africans. Once you pay your entry fee (generally $50 or so) you can stay as long as you like - some of the FKK's require the women to be nude which is a nice way to spend a weekend afternoon.

Speaking Deutsch helps a great deal in these places but is not an absolute necessity as there are generally one or two girls that speak basic English. Coming back to the States after a week's visit to German FKK's makes you wonder if we have got our 'morality' wrong in this area....

You'll have fun in Rio I guarantee.
Garotas are better looking than the American Porn stars (Tia Bella, only Nikki Dial could compete), they are better looking than the Raiderettes cheerleaders (yes some got great face but bodies do not come close). Only the Victoria Secrets models would blow the garotas and exceptional looking entertainers like Ali landry, Catherine Zeta Jones. Even the like of Penelope Cruz and others do not match, I know use right makeup and right camera angle and we have a fair competition.
!E channel rated the 25 sexiest entertainers, only 5 made my cut (Zeta Jones, Carmen Electra, Selma Hayek, Sela Ward, model Mudchen but she is Brazileira) OK throw in Pamela Anderson and you got 6 making my team.

AgentX, I can hardly wait for your comparison report. Long before I had ever heard of the Rio termas I was reading about the FKK clubs.

Athos, I quit watching porn a while back from mostly boredom and dislike of all the silicon. Nikki Dial was an alltime favorite of mine as long as the makeup crew left her alone. She had the single most lush body around.

Didn't you see the last world cup final, you know who is going to win don't you?

Heh...I still have an old polaroid of Nikki Dial in a G-string spread eagled on my lap with me holding the inside of her thighs to keep those lovely legs spread...she signed it "...lick me all over"...ah...she was gorgeous, and that curvy body was only like 5' 2" if you can believe it...That polaroid has survived two girlfriends, both of which wanted to throw it away out of jealousy, lol...

Rexxx, don't throw the picture away for any woman! I still have a centerfold from Playboy I got in 1965 or so. It has tape backing in a few spots and and some faint stains from where I missed once or twice. It would make a great piece of evidence for a CSI or Law&Order program.
