PREFATORY MEMORIAL & DEDICATION

He may be dead, but not forgotten. Yes, since Turk5555’s untimely death from suntan machine electrocution, a pall has been cast over our community, particularly among those closest to Turk. For example, before Turk’s demise GCL was a productive member of our community capable of tying his own shoes. Now he is best known for his incessant muttering under his breath “I have never jerked off in Brazil, I have never jerked off in Brasil,” and his inability to post anything meaningful on this board other than “I miss Turk.” This sad state of affairs is no surprise though, since GCL was this board’s main Turk advocate and to this day can’t seem to get over his death.

Then there is Rimnoj, formerly a mongerer par excellence. Since Turk’s untimely demise, he spends all his time hiding in one of the political threads, afraid to come out, posting endless streams of political “analysis” that are incomprehensible to anyone but himself. While we all appreciate d’Art’s efforts to take Rimnoj under his wing and get him back on track, we are at the same time saddened that d’Art had to quit his job and sever all contact with the outside world to have enough time, without any distractions, to do the research and writing needed to respond, sometimes two or three times (or so it seems), to each and every Rimnoj post.

Not to forget Don Gringo, the former stud of this board who lived out his fantasies and made them our fantasies through his insightful reports. He has been so affected by Turk’s death that his activity has come to a screeching halt, and he excuses this by alternately claiming that he is somehow “in prison” in the United States, or most pathetically that he has worms. Yeah, right.

And while we all applaud Bwana Dik’s donation of his world-class collection of combat boots to Turk’s namorada, Christiane, so she may continue to live in the style she grew accustomed to with Turk, there is a dark side even to this commendable gesture. Bwana Dik now spends his every waking moment in a funk because, in his words, “I only wish I had made the donation earlier when Turk was still alive so he could see the joy on Christiane’s face when she ‘laces up’.”

Had only the gods favored Turk5555, and simply informed him it is both unsafe and unnecessary to use an electric suntan machine while taking a bath, not only could we have avoided all the trauma, we could have also looked forward to many thought-provoking threads revolving around the evolution of Turk’s still young life. Think, for example, how Turk5555’s divorce from his namorada three months from now could have been transformed from a negative experience into a positive one, generating lively exchanges in the “what percentage of the money paid to a divorce lawyer constitutes paying retroactively for sex” thread. Similarly, consider how informative the “Ying & Yang versus the Cha Shing & Sha Ching” thread could have been. Perhaps not quite as informative as the “Relaciomento Serio” thread that Turk5555 started on this board, but then that is a very high bar to reach indeed.

Yes I know, there were significant differences of opinion about our deceased friend, and this contributed to a significant loss of camaraderie here at Club Hombre. No one will forget the days towards the end of Turk’s short life when many hombres concluded he had completely gone off the deep end and become clinically insane. But then again, there were the contrarians (better known as “trouble-makers”) like Badseed, who vigorously disagreed, claiming Turk was merely “semi-psychotic.” While these differences of opinion generated hostility between many of us, now with Turk’s passing we realize such differences of opinion really shouldn’t have come between us, the members of the Club Hombre community.

I submit we must get over our malaise, forget the pain, and re-dedicate our efforts to the one thing that holds us together as a community, the worldwide search for fine cost-effective pussy. And what better way to do that than to embark on a new and stimulating adventure. Yes, my fellow hombres, without further adieu I am happy to announce, as a memorial to Turk5555, let the SAO PAULO CASA-MANIA begin!

SOME PRELIMINARIES

How to Find the Casas

Before the Casa-Mania exuberance gets out of hand and becomes irrational, some preliminary information is in order. First, in previous reports I provided directions on how to get to each of the casas I reported on. But we are older and wiser now, and therefore I am sure you, the reader, will be able to figure out how to find the locations of the casas on your own. Wiser in that we now know there are mapping programs on the internet that can tell us where any casa is in Sao Paulo. These include http://mapas.terra.com.br/ and the more general map website http://www.maporama.com/share/. Therefore, I presently will give only general information about where each group of casas is located (such as the barrio and address), leaving it to you to find them (except in those instances where I import casa reviews from my earlier reports, in which case I will include the previously given directions). In addition, I have included here the telephone numbers of most of the casas, making it possible to telephone them for directions, assuming you speak some Portuguese. Most of these telephone numbers, however, have not been confirmed, but have been taken off of www.gpguia.net, a usually reliable Brazilian mongerer forum, see below. Also, while most casas have more than one telephone number listed on www.gpguia.net, I provide only one per casa.

The Sha Ching Factor

The places sampled here range from R$20 per ½ hour session, to R$100 for an hour session, with R$100 being rare. Where I give hour prices, assume the half-hour rate is between 60 and 75 percent of the hour rate, with approximately 60 to 65 percent being the most common. It is also possible there will be some variability in the rates the casas charge different hombres (e.g., Brazilians vs. non-Brazilians), although I have seen very little, if any, of this.

Source of Additional Information

Much of the information I needed to get started was taken from www.gpguia.net, a Brazilian mongerer website. While free, it recently imposed a password requirement for entry to the site. You may need a Brazilian email address to register; I’m not sure. If it turns out you do need a Brazilian email address, free email addresses (and dial-up internet access) can be obtained at www.ig.com.br. However, it is possible you will have to register from an internet connection within Brazil. If so, you could probably do this from an internet café in Brazil, assuming you can read Portuguese well enough to understand the registration screens, and perhaps make up a residence address in Brazil. And while the website is in Portuguese, you don’t need to know Portuguese to grab the addresses of the casas off the site.

I recently discovered a real cool feature of the gpguia site. If you go to the link for a casa (referred to on the site as a prive) you will see another link to a list of garotas for that casa. Although the lists are not necessarily complete, they include information on whether a particular garota does anal, BBBJ, and kisses. There are also some general ratings of the garotas. Useful information if I may say so myself.

Hours of Operation

As to hours, most of the casas are open at least six days a week, many seven. Many open in the morning and close at night, closing anywhere from about 11 p.m. to 2 a.m. Where I have information about a casa’s hours, I will provide it.

Learn a Little Bit of Portuguese

It is uncommon to find a garota who speaks English at the casas; occasionally the mama-san or papa-san will speak the language, but this too is uncommon. So it is helpful to brush up on at least rudimentary Portuguese before checking these places out. It should be added I don’t think I ever have run into any resentment about my lack of Portuguese fluency at these places, so if you are good at hand signals, you may even be able to get away with no Portuguese at all.

General Procedure at the Casas

The typical casa is in fact in a house, and your sessions will take place in bedrooms. There are usually in the range of four to eight garotas available. After you enter, you sit in a living room and the garotas come out individually and introduce themselves. After the introductions you choose which garota you want, and indicate for how much time. The garota often goes back to the back room (maybe the kitchen, or family room?) and anywhere from one to five minutes later comes back out and leads you to the bedroom, usually upstairs. A one-hour session is in fact usually 50-55 minutes plus time for a shower, although in some cases the time may run over. If you can, you are allowed to come twice in a one-hour session. Then again, there was the time one garota tried real hard to get me off three times in an hour, and almost did, but as I’m well past 18 years old, I don’t make a habit of trying this on a regular basis.

At some casas the garotas hang out in the living room and are there either when you enter, or stay after they have introduced themselves. Also, there is usually a small bar at the casas, and you can order a drink, although I rarely do. Occasionally, I will hang out for awhile to wait and see the garotas come out after their sessions because the prettiest are usually the busiest. Some casas seem more suited to letting you wait around, whereas others seem to want you to pick from the current line-up, or leave (but leaving if you don’t see what you want is an acceptable option). Also, at the least expensive casas, the facilities may not be as good, the shower may be questionable, and perhaps rather than bedrooms there will be cubicles, although this is not the case the majority of the time.

A few of the places I report on below are not casas at all, but rather bars with rooms and garotas. I have included them because they may appeal to the same hombres who like the casa scene, but sometimes want to spend more time socializing with the garotas than is usually possible at the casas.

One Last Detail

I decided to put all the information I have about the Sao Paulo casas in one place, specifically here. To do this, I imported some of my previous reviews of casas into this report, updating them where I had new information. However, I don't want those of you who have read the previous reports to get bored by repetitive information. Accordingly, when I import my previous reviews, I so indicate, and mention whether the review has been updated.

Now on to the good stuff!

SAO PAULO CASA MANIA BY AREA

PINHEIROS CASAS

First stop, Pinheiros, Sao Paulo. Pinheiros is perhaps best know for Bomboa, an over-priced club that I tend to avoid. In any event, too many Sha Chings for sure. But could there be another side to Pinheiros? A side characterized by cost-effective pussy? My mission was clear, to find out.

All the places reported here under the Pinheiros heading are within perhaps seven or eight blocks of the intersection of Avenida Brigadeiro Faria Lima and Cardeal Arcoverde. With one exception, they are located in the area between Faria Lima and Avenida Paulista, although closer to Faria Lima. A major bus-stop is smack dab in the middle of the area (on Faria Lima), and pretty much any bus that travels on Avenida Brigadeiro Faria Lima will stop there, or very near there (where there is another semi-major bus stop).


Rua Fradique Coutinho, 830, Pinheiros, (3034-4360)

I have been to this casa four times, twice during the week, and twice on Sunday. Facilities are reasonably good, although there are no showers in the rooms, rather you need to go to the bathroom for the shower, which is available for your use. The quality of the rooms varies from actual bedrooms, to cubicle style rooms (although reasonably well outfitted with walls to the ceiling and double beds in each). Maybe six to eight garotas in the lineup during the week, with two or three being quite doable. On the other hand, some of the garotas here are not attractive, thereby keeping this casa off the “A” list. On Sunday there are fewer garotas, and the quality suffers a bit, although I did see a very attractive garota on the way to a session on a Sunday. A friendly place. R$75 for an hour session, R$55 per half hour; obviously the hour is the better deal. Note, however, that those garotas who do anal at this casa (two of the three I sampled;) want an extra fee, in the range R$40 to R$50. I tried to negotiate the R$50 downward with no success, and didn’t try to negotiate with the garota who quoted R$40.


Rua Claudio Soares, 92, Pinheiros, (3031-4891)

This is not really a casa but not really a bar, it is somewhere in between. The line between a casa and a bar is often a bit blurred, in that many casas have a bar, although usually the bar is similar to what one might find in a well-outfitted home, for example, in the family room. Rua Claudio Soares, 92 looks perhaps more like a small neighborhood bar, although there is a sort of living room off to the side. The main selling point though is garotas are available and rooms are available on site. It should be added this place definitely caters to locals who do not have much money. Unless you feel comfortable in such an environment, this place will not be for you.

The range of garotas at this place is extreme. One garota I found there, Mara, could easily work at the top-end termas in Rio, and would be a standout at some, at least in terms of appearance (downside is no anal or BBBJ). There are a few other attractive garotas here, although they may be busy when you visit, or may have moved on to greener pastures. On the other hand there are some garotas who you could not pay me any amount of money to share the bed with (well, alright, everyone has their price, but it would have to be real high). Given that someone like Mara will not spend the rest of her career here, it is hard to know what you will run into when you visit. But for now, I like the place, although the facilities are definitely lower-end and not for the squeamish. Of all the places included in this report that I have actually had a session at, this may be the one that appeals least to the mainstream mongerer. However, I like it and recommend it to the adventurous.

When you get to this address, you may wonder whether you are at the right place. Just hit the bell, and within a minute or two the door will open and you will have arrived. Also, the area looks like it could get dangerous at night. According to the one garota I spoke to it is not dangerous, although I would still be on guard (and am) when visiting at night. I have been there perhaps three or four times at night with no problem, but if my gringoness stood out in a crowd, I might be more concerned.

It is open seven days a week. At the very least from mid-afternoon to midnight or later. I was told it opens at 10 a.m. although once when I went there at about 1:30 p.m., some of the better garotas were just arriving.

Sessions run R$20 per half hour. 600 ml beers are around R$5. I have never had to buy a garota a drink here.


Rua Mourato Coelho, 1023, Pinheiros, (3031-3257)

I visited this casa once and liked the place, although the talent, while acceptable, could be a tad better. Not bad though. The mama-san seemed friendly enough, and the line-up included about six garotas. No absolute stunners but a couple who were rather attractive. The bedroom was good, with a well-placed mirror on the wall in front of the bed. I took an hour session for R$75, and popped twice with a very friendly and enthusiastic garota who had been working there for one month. They may be closed on Saturdays, and I am almost certain the place is closed on Sundays.


Freelancer Bar, Rua Cardeal Arco Verde, 2218, Pinheiros, (3815-9543)

This place is open seven days a week, although only gets going in the late afternoon or evening. Not a casa, but included here because, uhhh, why not? A relatively small bar with a few garotas, most of whom are not worth looking at. Nonetheless, I have had two sessions here with an average looking garota whose personality attracted me the first time I visited. The first session was indeed very enthusiastic, going well over the allotted 30 minutes, and with her trying to get me off two times (unsuccessfully, but I got close). This session was during the garota’s first week of work. Then a month later I went back and had a so-so session with the same garota. I guess the burn-out curve can get pretty harsh at these places, although at similar places I have had very good sessions with garotas who were working for a couple of years. In any case, if you are in the area, this place might be worth a drop in, particularly because it is close to so many other similar places (as well as the casas reported on here). There are at least four other similar bars with garotas within about a block, one of which, Love Night, I like a lot.

Sessions at Freelancer are R$35 per half hour. Minimum consumption appears to be R$5, although it may be waived if you have a session.


Love Night Boite, Rua Baltaza Carrasco, 168, Pinheiros, (3813-6002)

As some of you know from my LAguy’s Sao Paulo Ins and Outs report, I like many of the bars and saunas on Rua Augusta, even if they are not upscale. Having said this, it sometimes takes awhile to find a garota worth sessioning with at these places, although I don’t want to make it sound like it is all that difficult, particularly given the number of boites close to one another, and the relatively low minimum consumption charge at each (around R$5 to R$10). Love Night appeals to the same side of me as Rua Augusta; there are some attractive garotas there, but they are intermixed with more unattractive ones than I would like. Nonetheless, I have had great sessions with four different garotas here, and there are three others who are on my “must do” list.

While the bar is not upscale, it is not bad and fairly comfortable inside. As you walk in, there is a small bar to the right, some tables to the left, a small stage halfway in, and a lot of tables in the back. Sometimes you will see a garota dance and/or strip on the stage, although this is not going on all the time. Assuming you are in there during the evening, you will see somewhere between ten and twenty-five available garotas. If you see one of interest, you can have her join you at your table. While the garotas are generally not drink hungry, if you want to spend substantial time with one before going to the room with her, a drink may be required (ladies drinks around R$15). From what I have observed, it often may take 30 minutes before a Brasileiro hombre closes the deal with his garota, or should I say before the garota has done enough at the table to close the deal with him; I usually act a bit faster, since it is too much work for me to carry on a conversation in Portuguese for too long, which I am sometimes forced to do at the same time the garota is giving me a lap dance or is diddling my cock.

You will likely be the only non-Brazilian in the place. But when I visit I am comfortable, and have found the garotas as well as staff very friendly.

Two of the garotas I have had sessions with there had started working there only within the last week, and were best friends. One of them let me take around 15 pictures (although none during the act itself) and was so happy with the pictures she called her friend into the room to show them to her. Her friend wanted me to take some pictures of her as well, and how could I to refuse. A little later, I had a session with the friend, who was really into posing throughout the session.

Another garota I sessioned with was also a new addition to the lineup while the fourth, who I have had four sessions with (yikes), had been there awhile (and was the only one who would agree to anal and didn’t grab a condom for the blow job). I like the place.

Sessions are R$40 per half hour including the room and the garota (unlike the Rua Augusta bars where you pay separately for each). I believe there is a one-drink minimum, but only if you don’t have a session. The one-drink, assuming it is water or beer, will set you back around R$5, with ladies drinks as well as whiskey costing R$15.

This boite is just off of Faria Lima, and perhaps a block from the Freelancer bar. There are many boites with garotas in the area, so if you don’t find what you want at Love Night, there are other close and convenient options (also including some of the casas mentioned in this section).


Rua Cunha Gago, 431, Pinheiros, (3037-7428)

Perhaps you have too much time on your hands and use some of it to ponder existential questions like “What is the meaning of life?”, “How many angels can you fit on the head of a pin?”, or “Is it possible to be uglier than ugly?” Well, I can’t help you with the first two, but if you are seeking the answer to question 3, all you need to do is go to this “casa.” While I suppose it is possible an hombre will at some point in the next century visit this place and see a garota who is only slightly unattractive, or maybe even semi-attractive, it is also theoretically possible, and equally likely, that Hillary will extend an invitation to Monica to join her and Bill for a threesome. Price for a half hour is “who cares,” with the price for an hour session coming in at “are you friggin’ crazy?” But it doesn’t cost anything to look, so if you are in the neighborhood, you might want to check it out for a laugh. Maybe luck will be with you and you will find something more. The fact is there are instances where attractive garotas, not yet knowing the ropes, end up temporarily at places you would never expect to find them. So, there might be hope at a place like this, but I wouldn’t bank on it.

Note that within a block there are three boites on Rua Cunha Gago, with garotas and rooms; there are probably an additional five to ten similar places in the general neighborhood, none of which should be hard to find if you simply walk around, among the latter are Freelancer Bar, and Love Night, both of which are also reviewed here. As to the boites on Rua Cunha Gago, I believe one is named Star Night or something similar, another Forteleza Bar, and the third, I have no idea. I visited a couple of these during off-hours and did not see any garotas I particularly liked. However, late at night (when things seem to get going) these places may have more potential. My best memory is prices for sessions (including both the room and garota) are in the R$35 to R$40 range per half hour.


Rua Cunha Gago, 717, Pinheiros, (3814-4215)

This casa is a few blocks from Rua Cunha Gago, 431, but much different. The facilities at the casa are reasonably good and the bedrooms are standard, although without an attached bathroom or shower (showers are in a bathroom off of the hall and aren’t great). I visited twice. The first time the selection was questionable, although there were one or two garotas I might have had a session with if there were not a number of other casas in the area to check out. The second time I had a session with a very attractive Mulatta from Bahia, who was friendly but not up to Brasileira standards when it came to enthusiasm and technique in bed. There was another Mulatta who also was quite attractive, and then perhaps five other garotas ranging from middlin’ to unattractive. Price is R$75 per hour. Doesn’t seem to be open on Sundays.


JARDIN PAULISTA CASAS, AN UPDATE

In this section I will import some of my earlier casa reviews (from earlier guides) updating them where I have new information:


Alameda Jau, 480, J. Paulista, (3284-7981)

This is my favorite casa, with the most consistent quality of talent, both in terms of looks and attitude. I know at least four hombres who visited this place on my recommendation, and all have had very favorable things to say about it.

There are usually around six garotas in the line-up, only about one of whom is out of contention for a session (overweight). I have had sessions with three of the garotas here and have had nothing to complain about. Two of the three did anal, and I believe all did BBBJ’s. Generally picture friendly, and overall friendly. The rooms are not bad, and have showers.

Open seven days a week, around 10 a.m. every day except Sunday, when they open around 2 p.m. It stays open late into the night.

R$90 for an hour, about R$70 per half hour, making the hour session a much better deal. I highly recommend this place.

The location is relatively convenient. It is two blocks off Av. Paulista. If you are at the Brigadeiro metro station, head two or three blocks to Al. Campinas, take a left (in the direction away from Centro) and head two blocks until you get to Al. Jau. Take a right on Al. Jau, and you will see, within maybe 50 feet, Al. Jau, 480. Go up the stairs, hit the doorbell, and you're good to go.


Savana's Club, Al. Joaquim Eugenio de Lima, 1674, #1, J. Paulista, (3884-0574
(Update to review from LAguy ’s Sao Paulo Ins and Outs)

I have visited this casa about three times. My usual experience is this casa is particularly friendly, and has some hot garotas (along with some not so hot ones). However on my last visit there were only three garotas (in contrast to about six the other times) and only one was acceptable (turns out though she was not much fun in bed). It is always possible that when you get there the hotter garotas will be unavailable, or will require a wait. It may be worth waiting in for awhile, particularly if they are friendly about it, as they tend to be. When I first visited I was quoted the following prices: $R60 per half-hour and $R100 per hour, all-inclusive. On my last visit, it was R$80 per hour (I didn’t ask about the half-hour rate). I noted recently that Zazupitz visited the place, see, 2004/07 Zazupitz - Brasil - SP - Casas, liked it, and paid R$80 per hour. On the other hand, another reporter recently noted that when he went to Savana’s, he was told at the outset there were no BBBJ’s to be had by any of the garotas. I can’t recall all my sessions, but at least one of them included a BBBJ.

I have had sessions with three of the garotas here: one was very enthusiastic and allowed as many photos as I could take; the other, who is half-Japanese, was sexy in a kind of subdued way. She only allowed a couple of photos with her clothes on and outside of the bedroom. The last was not very enthusiastic and didn’t allow photos because she was afraid her husband would find out she was working there.

Directions: Savana's is located at Al. Joaquim Eugenio de Lima, 1674, casa 1, in Jardins. It is about a 20 minute walk, downhill from Avenida Paulista. The street runs perpendicular to Avenida Paulista, almost exactly halfway between the Trianon/MASP and Brigadeiro Metro stations. Most would probably do better to take a taxi from either metro station than walk as it is about a twenty-minute downhill walk from Avenida Paulista. One important thing to note is that as you walk down Al. Joaquim Eugenio de Lima, it may appear as though you have skipped over address 1674. This is because the entrance to casa 1, which is marked with a "1", is on the side of the building with the next higher street address. Essentially, there is a small dead-end alley or street just before Savana's, and you turn right onto that small street and will see casa 1 on the left-hand side. Their telephone number is 3884-0574 in case you have trouble finding it.


Av. Alameda Franca, 175, J. Paulista, (287-6685)
(Update to review from LAguy’s Sao Paulo Ins and Outs)

Another good casa is at Av. Alameda Franca, 175. I have had good luck here having had perhaps four for five sessions. Although I earlier reported it was not as friendly as Savana’s, I have since concluded that comment may have been unfair in that there is nothing unfriendly about this place. I have had some excellent sessions here, although the talent is not as deep as at some of the other higher-end casas and so you may or may not find what you want on any given visit. When I visited there the first time there were about six garotas, with perhaps two that were very good to excellent, another couple that were not bad. The second visit showed about four garotas, three of whom were in the ballpark. On the later visits there were usually somewhere in the range of four or five garotas with perhaps two worth considering for a session. The garotas come up the stairs (from a lower level) to greet you individually in the living room. The price is R$100 per hour, a tad high compared to the competition, particularly when places like Alameda Jau, 480 are in the neighborhood and have both more attractive garotas and lower prices. Incidentally, if any of you are charged less than R$100 per hour, please let us know.

Directions: This is a very easy walk from the MASP metro station. From Av. Paulista you walk down Rua Pomplona until you reach Av. Franca, no more than a 10-minute walk. Make a left onto Av. Franca and 175 will be on your right, no more than a quarter of a block from Rua Pomplona.


Rua Batataes, 270, J. Paulista, (3052-4685)
(Update to review from LAguy’s Sao Paulo Ins and Outs)

On my one visit to this place there were only two garotas, although I understand there are sometimes more. The charge was only R$60 per hour (although I have seen recent posts saying it may now be R$80), and I therefore was not surprised that the garotas were not of the quality of the two places reviewed immediately above. What is surprising is this place is listed on the same business card with Savana's Club of Al. Joaquim Eugenio de Lima, 1674, Casa 1, yet is not nearly as good. I had a session here that was not bad, but not really worth repeating.

Directions: As with the other casas in this section, you can start out on Avenida Paulista and walk down either Rua Pamplona, Al. Campinas, or Al. Joaquim Eugenio de Lima until you get to Rua Batatais, about six blocks. Once you are there, check out the street numbers to see which way you have to go to get to 270. As to the Metro station, you can get off either at Trianon/MASP ro at Brigadeiro; I'm not sure which puts you closer.


PRACA DO ARVORE CASAS

In the area around the Praca do Arvore Metro station (not that far from Clinica Antares but in a different direction from the Metro), are a few casas that I have visited. Here are some:


Rua das Rosas, 732, Pca do Arvore, (5584-9765)
(From LAguy’s Sao Paulo Ins and Outs)

The three garotas who introduced themselves ranged from awful to acceptable but not great. In contrast, the one garota who was walking up the stairs to a one-hour session when I arrived looked, at least from a distance, like a knockout. So, I reserve judgment on this place. As best as I can tell, the price is around R$70 per hour.

It is about a 20-minute walk from the Praca Arvore Metro station. If you have taken the Metro from the direction of Metro Station Se, you will want to leave the Metro station and walk back in the direction you came from, up Av. Jabaquara two or three blocks until you reach Rua das Rosas (on the left) at which point you make a left. Then follow Rua das Rosas for about 10 minutes and you will see 732 on the right side of the road. Note that after walking on Rua das Rosas the name of the street will seem to change at a plaza, but it will return to Rua das Rosas once you pass the plaza.


Rua Pitangueiras, Pca do Arvore, 125
(Update to review from LAguy’s Sao Paulo Ins and Outs)

When I first visited this casa, there was only one garota present, and she may have been in the middle of a session when she answered the door; it was unclear. She definitely was not a looker. I since noticed this place gets great reviews in www.gpguia.net. Accordingly, I stopped by two more times, but both times left without having a session owing to the low quality of what I saw. On the other hand there is a lot of traffic in and out of the place, so it may be what I didn’t see (i.e, garotas who were in sessions) was better. I would be surprised if the price is higher than R$20 per half hour. Only stop by if you are in the area and curious.

Directions: This is about a five-minute walk from the Praca Arvore metro station, walk up Av. Jabaquara in the direction of Rua das Rosas, and you will quickly find Rua Pitangueiras. Take a left and you will soon see, on the left-hand side, number 125. It is a run-down sort of place.


Rua Guarau, 161, Pca do Arvore, (276-7039)
(From LAguy’s Sao Paulo Ins and Outs)

When I arrived at this casa, there were two garotas available, and two occupied. The two garotas available were marginal, although I did a session with one of them that was not too bad. Rates are bargain basement, R$20 for 30 minutes. Not as clean as the more expensive places. Not unlike the R$1 per minute places in Rio but with double beds in actual bedrooms.

Directions: I believe Rua Guarua is the street just as you leave the north exit of the Metro; if not it is very close. Make a left onto Rua Guarua, bear to the right at the bend, and you will be there in no more than five minutes. It is on the left-hand side of the street.


Rua Caramuru, Pca do Arvore, 246

This casa is really between Praca do Arvore and Santa Cruz. A budget place, it can be very friendly. After being introduced to the garotas, they all stayed in the living room and talked for awhile with me. However, the garotas reflect the price, R$20 per half hour. Some might be considered average while others were really hard to look at. I did have a good session with one of the average looking garotas though. There are two similar casas within a block of this one, but I don’t have the addresses handy as I write this. If I find them, I will add them to this thread.


SANTA CRUZ CASAS


Rua Loefgreen, 1448, Santa Cruz, (5539-4490)

Not far from the Santa Cruz metro station, I had one session with an attractive although not terribly adventurous garota here. The facilities were fairly good, and if memory serves me right a one-hour session was somewhere around R$60.or R$70. The line-up was average. Worth a stop if you are in the area but probably not worth going out of your way for. There is another casa I did not check out across the street at Rua Loefgreen, 1435. I understand that casa charges R$20 per half hour or thereabouts.


BROOKLIN AREA CASAS

One of the hotels I stayed at is the Hilton Morumbi, which is actually located in Brooklin, not Morumbi. On the plus side it is one of the finest Hiltons I have stayed at; on the minus it is a bit out of the way. But no need to despair. While there are not many high-visibility clubs in the area, there are some decent casas not far from the hotel (incidentally it is a fairly short taxi ride to both Moulin Rouge and Bahamas). Here are a few of the local casas:


Rua Jaceru, 177, Brooklin, (5543-3366)
(Review with minor revisions from LAguy’s Sao Paulo Ins and Outs)

Unlike some of the other casas in the area, this one is recognizable as such, at least to the trained eye. The street number is displayed on a sign in big, big, numbers, and the front window has some credit card decals displayed. The curtains on the windows are all closed, as is customary at most casas.

This place is reasonably friendly, with prices at R$50 per ½ hour and R$70 per hour. I was introduced to about six or seven garotas, but based on appearance (many were overweight), I considered only one as a serious candidate for a session.. It turned out I had a great session with her, paying R$70 for a two-shot session that included anal and a large number of photos. I later had a second session with the same garota with the same result (I did not view view the “line-up” on my second visit so cannot comment on whether there would have been any improvement) My recommendation is if you are in the area, check this place out, but have back-up plans as it is going to be hit or miss.

Directions: It is about a twenty-minute walk from the Hilton Morumbi, and maybe five or ten minutes from Shopping Morumbi, a great shopping center. If coming from Shopping Morumbi, walk down Av. Roque Pentroni, Jr (in the direction away from the river) until you reach Rua Jaceru, make a left, and you will be there shortly. If coming from the direction of the Hilton Morumbi, you can walk along Av. Luis Carlos Berrini (towards Shopping Morumbi) to Av. Morumbi, make a left, and then after four or five blocks make a right onto Rua Jaceru.


Rua Alvaro Rodrigues, 383, Brooklin, (5092-4657)
(Update of review from LAguy’s Sao Paulo Ins and Outs)

I visited this place twice. The first time was on a federal holiday and it seemed to be understaffed. I didn’t do a session that time. However, I went back on a regular weekday, and had a reasonably good session, choosing from among maybe six garotas, two or three of whom were in contention. The frustrating thing though was the greeter was a hot hot garota. At many casas, the garota who answers the door is available, but at many others this is not the case. Unfortunately for me, at this casa the greeter was merely a greeter. Damn!

When you arrive at this address the place may seem a bit more imposing than other casas in that there is a high closed wooden gate at the front of the house, and a high solid fence enclosing the yard. The first time I visited I was concerned maybe I had an old address, or something, but after ringing the bell, and being greeted by a garota, it became clear I was at the right place.

Price should come in around R$70 for an hour.

Directions: Not too far from Rua Jaceru, 177, you can walk from one to the other in maybe five minutes. 383 is perhaps a twenty-minute walk from the Hilton Morumbi and a ten-minute walk from Shopping Morumbi. From the Hilton walk down Av. Eng. Luis Berrini until you get to the point at which it changes its name to Av. Dr. Chucri Zaidan. On the maps I have, you would make a left at this point onto Av. Agua Espraida, but the street sign refers to the name of some journalist (with the word journalist, or the Portuguese equivalent, included in the name). You can then make a right at any of the streets you run into until you get to Rua Alvaro Rodrigues. Make a left onto it, and be prepared to walk for awhile. The street numbering just before 383 is a bit screwed up, but you will hit a casa on the right-hand side of the street with the number 383, just past the point where it looks like the numbering skipped over 383. Incidentally, the throwaway magazine, "Magazine," which is available at many of the Sao Paulo area hotels, includes a map of the area.


Rua Michigan, 931, Brooklin, (5531-0581)
(Update of review from LAguy’s Sao Paulo Ins and Outs)

Located about ten minutes by foot from the Hilton Morumbi, I have had variable experiences here. The casa is clean, reasonably well-furnished, and sessions are only R$60 per hour. There are usually six or seven garotas (based, however, on only two visits) maybe half of which are contenders. The first time I visited, I picked a garota who turned out to be really strange and not very enthusiastic, something I began suspecting within maybe 30 seconds of picking her (I'm not real good at canceling a choice if I get a bad vibe). She also did not allow any pictures, although while I like pictures, this was not the fundamental problem. The second time, I had a very fine session with a garota who I would easily session with again; she, however, also would not allow photographs. If you are in the area, the place is definitely worth a visit, but you may want to be careful about who you choose.

Directions: From the Hilton Morumbi, find Rua Michigan (which is on the other side of Av. Eng. Luis Carlos Berrini but requires a couple of zig zags (get a local map)). Then continue down Rua Michigan a ways until you hit 931.


Rua Texas, 1132, Brooklin, (5506-7102)

This place is in Brooklin, not too far from the Hilton Morumbi (but definitely a long walk). Also a long walk from the Blue Tree Towers Faria Lima, but doable, maybe twenty minutes. It is a barebones casa, nothing fancy, but reasonably clean. The man who greets you speaks some English and is friendly. The garotas are nothing special to look at, but at least a couple are very friendly and enthusiastic. I suspect that many on this board would take a pass after seeing the line-up, but all and all, I have had good experiences here. The price is R$30 per half hour; R$50 per hour.

Rua Texas is north of where the Hilton Morumbi is located, almost at Avenida dos Bandeirantes. You can take Av. Nova Independencia (which runs parallel to Berrini) up to around R. Kansas, and then zig zag a bit until you are on Rua Texas, which runs parallel to Avenida dos Bandeirantes. After a few blocks on Rua Texas, you will see the place on the left. One of the maps in "Magazine, Hotel and Travel Guide," available at most Sao Paulo hotels as a giveaway, shows where Rua Texas is, and will make clear how to get there. If you are coming from the opposite direction, such as from the Blue Tree Towers Faria Lima, you will need to cross Bandeirantes, and then consult a map.


Nova Independencia, Brooklin, 1051

Three garotas live at this address, and around three more show up for work during peak hours. One of the garotas told me the casa is open 24/7, and never closes. There are, however, two problems. The first is the three garotas currently living there are not very attractive, although a couple are doable, barely. I haven’t seen the other garotas so I can’t comment on them. The second problem is the casa is overpriced for what you get coming in at around R$90 per hour. Fair bedrooms, but not competitive with the better casas, including others in the area. There are better casas in the area, and so I cannot recommend this one.

The casa is located a few blocks from Rua Texas, 1132. Nova Independencia runs roughly parallel to Berrini, a street that passes within a block of the Hilton Morumbi. You have to walk up Berrini a bit before turning right and then making a left onto Nova Independencia. Then you walk for awhile.


MOEMA CASAS


Al. dos Jurupis, 1408, Moema, (5533-2986)
(Adapted from LAguy's Mini Casa Trip Report)

This casa has a nice interior, with a couple of rooms to lounge in and a bar. When I was there a number of hombres were lounging around, some of whom purchased drinks at the bar. In this sense, the casa is a friendly place where you don’t necessarily feel as though you need to immediately pick a garota for a session. It is also reasonably inexpensive, R$35 per half hour and R$60 per hour. The problem is when I went there, the male to female ratio was not good, and I only saw two garotas, and this after waiting maybe five or ten minutes. The garotas didn’t look bad, but didn’t strike me as all that friendly. However, a number of the garotas were in sessions and may have been better. Although I didn’t take a session here, I probably will check out the place again, particularly given it is only about a block from Shopping Ibirapuera. Earlier I reported it may not be open on Saturdays (or Sundays). I may have been wrong about this (at least with regard to Saturdays) because I used the fact there was a lock on the gate in front of the casa on a Saturday, usually meaning a casa is closed. However, I later noticed the actual entrance is to the right of this gate, so it is possible the place is open weekdays. Probably worth a call to find out before making the trip.

To get to Al. dos Jurupis, 1408, all you need to do is go out the back entrance of Shopping Ibirapuera, and make a left on Al. dos Jurupis. It is about one block down on the left.


Al. dos Jurupis, Moema, 835
(Adapted from LAguy's Mini Casa Trip Report)

A barebones casa with barebones garotas. Not recommended owing to the skank factor. R$20 per half hour and R$35 per hour. Located about five blocks from Al. dos Jurupis, on the right-hand side of the street.


Av. Jandira, 970, Moema,(5052-5737)
(Adapted from LAguy's Mini Casa Trip Report)

As you head down Al. dos Jurupis from Shopping Ibirapuera (down meaning the street addresses are getting lower, you will hit Rua Jandira. If you take a right and walk perhaps eight or nine blocks you will hit a casa on the right at Rua Jandira, 970. If you are hungry you might want to stop at Café Journal on the way (it is on the left-hand side of the street); I had a good steak there.

The first time I visited there was only one garota available when I arrived and another occupied. I was told I could wait to see the other garota, but since the one who greeted me at the door was friendly, and was reasonably attractive, I picked her. As things would have it, another garota, more attractive, showed up a few minutes later, but I already had committed to a one-hour relationship for R$30 (1/2 hour is R$20).

The session room was reasonable, but not great. An attached bathroom with shower, and a double bed. Not adding to the atmosphere, however, were the florescent lights in the bedroom.

The session itself was actually quite good, although CBJ was insisted upon. Actually, good enough that I went back and had a second session with the same garota a few days later. Although very cheap, when I was there the first time, I saw a man leaving after a session wearing a suit and tie. Not a bad place if you are looking for cheap thrills. However, I suspect this place may be hit or miss depending on when you go, which garotas are occupied, and so forth.


SANTANA CASAS

Santana is easily accessible by Metro and is a reasonably pleasant neighborhood. Just find the Santana station on a Metro map. Since the three places mentioned below are within a block of each other, I will give the directions to all three first, and then present the 411 on each.

When you arrive at the Santana station (assuming you have come from the direction of the Se Metro station) you go out the gate, and then once downstairs head in the direction to the right of the tracks you arrived on. You will go along a very long corridor until the end. At this point, take the stairs on your left and as you leave the station you should see Rua Dr. Gabriel Piza. Take a right onto that street, and proceed to the 500 block. Then, on your left, in what looks like a flat, will be Rua Dr. Gabriel Piza, 515. A few houses down, on the right, will be a blue house, with street number 548. If instead of proceeding to 515 and 548, you take the immediately-preceding right, i.e., onto Rua Jovita, you see the street address 237 on the right side of the street. There is one other casa I report on here, which you will need to locate on a map or mapping program. At all these places the street number appears on a relatively large sign, typical of many of the casas throughout the city.


Rua Dr. Gabrial Piza, Santana, 515
(Adapted from LAguy’s Sao Paulo Ins and Outs)

There were about five or six garotas when I visited, about half of who were not bad. I had an "hour" session with one of them, I believe for R$80, although there is an outside chance it was R$100. I put the quotes around hour because I think I was shorted around 10 minutes, possibly because another hombre was waiting for the garota I was with.

Other than the fact the telephone rang around 40 minutes into the session (with about 10 minutes then allowed for getting out of the room), this place wasn't bad, although the room was a bit more beat up than other similarly priced casas. The garota I was with was fairly attractive, although a bit conservative in what she would do. Assuming they don't make a practice of regularly short-timing their customers this would not be a bad place. Also, unlike most other casas, there was a lot of socializing going on in the living room when I arrived, i.e., garotas sitting there chatting with hombres, something that can be helpful in making your choice.


Rua Dr. Gabrial Piza, 548, Santana, (6959-2575)
(Update to review from LAguy’s Sao Paulo Ins and Outs)

AKA Blue House, I have been to this place twice, but have never done a session here. The first time I arrived early and was told to come back later when there were more garotas. I did see one garota getting ready to do a session, and she looked pretty good, although not outstanding. I ended up going to another casa instead and therefore did not check out the lineup later that day. However, I went back another afternoon, and was not terribly impressed with the line-up. I may have still gone there too early, as I have read elsewhere some good reviews of this casa. If I’m in the area again, I will check it out, although don’t really know what to expect.


Rua Jovita, 237, Santana, (6283-1594)

The way this casa is laid out is very good, but my one visit left me wondering about the garotas. You enter a house, but there is a large enclosed patio area where there is a bar and a lot of room for sitting around, talking to the garotas, and so forth. There were quite a lot of men lounging around, drinking, talking to the garotas, etc. Unfortunately, they pegged me as an English speaker, and sent a garota who spoke English to sit next to me. She had stripped for awhile in Honolulu, and exhibited many of the bad traits that goes with that turf. After I managed to shake her, I tried to strike up a conversation with another garota, but she too was rather cold. I don’t know, the place itself is quite nice, but I didn’t have a session owing to the two strike-outs, and the fact many of the other garotas were talking to other men. This is one of those places I would like more information about, so if anyone checks it out, please post your experiences. I believe sessions go for R$60 per hour. It is also possible (based on appearances and the fact they give you a bar order form when you arrive) that unlike other casas, there is a minimum bar consumption charge, on the order of R$5; in any event, I had a drink so I didn’t test whether a minimum charge would have been levied if I had not.


Rua Leite de Moraes, Santana, 365

While the two casas on Rua Dr. Gabrial Piza are not what might be called barebones casas, this one is. When I arrived there were maybe four or five working class Brasileiros socializing in the living room, having a good time (although it was unclear any of them were going to have sessions). Actually, I like this sort of atmosphere so long as they don’t have a problem with me being there (they didn’t, and least not noticeably). There were perhaps three garotas available, only one of which was cute. I had a reasonably decent session here at R$50 per the hour. For directions, check a map of the area. It is not very far from the Santana metro station, on the same side of the tracks as all the other Santana casas discussed here.


LIBERDADE

Yes, Liberdade, the Japanese section of Sao Paulo. A little bit of Asia in South America. Exotic Japanese women to fulfill your every fantasy. To pamper you and treat you right. But if you are looking for this at the lower end places in Liberdade, forget about it.

Liberdade massage parlors may be the closest thing to the Rio R$1 per minute places I have found. Since there are other bargain basement places you can go in Sao Paulo that aren’t bad, my limited experience at the places in Liberdade suggests they may not be the best deal in town. Nonetheless, note I said in my limited experience. I have only had one session in Liberdade (other than a couple of street walker encounters, as described in LAguy’s Sao Paulo Ins and Outs) although I have visited perhaps five “casas.” Here is the deal:


Avenida Liberdade, 486

Just a couple of blocks from the main square in Liberdade (which is just across the street from the Liberdade Metro station), this apartment building has a few casas, similar to the Rio low-end places. When you enter the building you need to show some identification and tell the guard where you are going; just mention one of the apartment numbers that are mentioned here

I had a quick session in apartment 405. R$20 for half an hour with an additional R$10 for anal; I understand the anal “tax” is typical at these places. The session was a quickie, largely because I wasn’t interested in extending it out much. The garota was adequate but not much more. The beds were in cubicles that did not quite reach the ceiling, and the place reeked of ammonia or some similar cleaning agent. Not a terrible experience, but not much to recommend it.

Just across the hall is apartment 410, which according to the Brazilian boards is a similar place (I didn’t visit it). Other similar places in this building include apartment 503.

There are other casas in the Liberdade area but I haven’t run across any yet worth talking about. Maybe I’ll have to work harder on this.


CONCLUDING WORDS

I know what you are thinking: “Is that all? Certainly LAguy is capable of visiting a greater number of casas than is listed here. What’s the deal?” Well, there are two deals. First, it is true I have visited casas that are not listed here, but my pre-Alzheimer’s condition prevents me from remembering them all; this is compounded by the recent revamping of the www.gpguia.net site, eliminating the lists of casas by barrio I used to rely on to remember which ones I visited.

Second, my mission is not finished. Yes, as Howard Dean would say, after I am finished tonight, I will go to casas in Campo Belo; then we’ll travel to Lapa, then we’ll get our dicks wet in Saude; then we’ll stick it to them in Tatuape; then its on to Vila Mariana; some anal probing in Carrao; then we’ll go back to Pinheiros, Santana, Brooklin, Liberdade; we’ll then take off some bras in Bras; back to Vila Olympia, Moema, Sao Judas; Aclimacao, wherever the hell that is; ARHEEAWHOHA!! Oh, and I almost forgot, may Turk rest in peace.

Congratulations, Laguy, on a great contribution. I must say, your tribute to Turk5555 brought a tear to my eye, or was that the onion I was chopping? No matter; a brilliant piece and an essential addition to the Club Hombre corpus.

Laguy,

Good information on the lower end of the scale, but sometmes you can find good ones there. Thanks for the contribution.

Again, an excellent post. Thanks Laguy.

Wow, what a great report. I will definately use your recommendations on my next trip.

Thanks

Ix

Thanks for the feedback. As I know at least one of you will shortly be in SP, I should mention I heard Savana's may be temporarily closed owing to construction. For how long I don't know (and, for that matter I am not sure they are closed now) but if you are considering going there, you should give them a call first.

Let's see, where were we? I just checked out Savana's Club, Al. Joaquim Eugenio de Lima, 1674, #1, and consistent with my earlier post, it is presently closed for construction. One of the construction "workers" was asleep on one of the couches inside so I suspect it may be awhile before the construction is completed. Then again, who knows whether the casa will start up again at this location, or, instead there will be another tenant.

I've recently been to Alameda Jau, 480 twice. I had a session with Carol, but was not that impressed, as I believe I indicated in another recent post. Although she was friendly and all, she would not do anal with me contrary to other posts stating she does with others; I suppose either my ego should be shattered, or substantially enhanced, depending on how her refusal to do anal with me is interpreted. OTOH I had a repeat session with Keli, who I have had alot of fun with, including anal and many fotos. Unfortunately, Anita no longer works at this casa, a real loss, and something that lowers my rating of the place a slight bit. Still R$90 per hour.

Decided to check out Rua Batataes, 270, since it is in the same neighborhood as Savana's Club, and rumor has it some of Savana Club's garotas are now working there. On entering, I realized again why they USED TO only charge R$60 per hour; the paint on the wall is peeling, etc. There were only three garotas available, two of whom were almost but not quite worth taking a session with. I spoke with one, who informed me they now charge R$80 an hour, and she also wanted R$50 for anal. Particularly since I have never been asked for extra money at Alameda Jau 480, which is in the same general neighborhood, for this service, I could not see the value in taking a session at this place.

I also recently went to Av. Alameda Franca, 175 twice, and have to say (again) their price of R$100 is a bit steep given that their talent is only okay. I had one good session one day, and passed on a session the other when there were only three garotas, of which only one was worth considering.

All these places are in the area near Avenida Paulista, and I suspect their prices may therefore be a tad inflated relative to the casa market elsewhere. There seems to only be a small correlation between what you pay at the casas, and what you get. Nonetheless, I'm not complaining about sessions that run R$100 per hour and less, at places that are generally reasonably well kept up. By the way, I saw a couple hombres in suits and ties at the above casas, reinforcing that these places are not bottom of the barrel (while at the same time they are not super luxurious).

Earlier I indicated I was reserving judgment on Rua das Rosas, 732, Pca do Arvore, and might visit it again. Today it had around eight or nine garotas, three of whom I seriously considered a session with. Settled on one of them, name forgotten, who has been working there for a month (separated from her husband for a year and a half, and, guess what, has a kid a little older than a year and a half). Good body (no indications of having had a kid) and face, friendly but no DFKing or BBBJ. Not a bad experience for all of R$30 a half hour. I would go back to this casa, although would not go terribly out of my way to do so.
