I’ve been using Club Hombre for few years, very sporadically, mostly for the rare Mexico trip. When you start making Mexico trips, it might be a sign of some problems in your marriage. It was for me. I became separated in May, headed for divorce. In late June, I decided I needed a vacation, and not just any vacation.

I needed an anti-honeymoon, an ultimate trip of debauchery to make my previous forays into Mexican border towns feel like kissing my sister. Okay, that probably sounds worse to you perverts like me on this site than I mean, but I hope you get the picture.

Given that my wife makes decent money, and we’re both fair people, and she wanted to move away, I refinanced the house and even managed to clear a few thousand in the process. No kids. No alimony. A pile of frequent flyer miles. I could go anywhere in the world for at least a week (about all the time my schedule would allow) without worrying about expenses.

I’d had some tentative plans to go to Scotland in August for a different hobby, but given the circumstances I trashed those and turned to Club Hombre for some research. I’d nearly settled on Thailand, and was investigating flights, when I came across some thoughtful comparisons between Thailand and Rio. It seemed clear that Thailand would be cheaper overall, and safer. Still, Rio sounded good, and while I really like spinners, I prefer Latin women to Asian women, and I like the bunda. I read some great trip reports from Valtereekian, Jaguar, Av8ter, Diversity, and others, and also checked out the various guides, especially Bwana Dik’s. Rio sounded better and better.

I booked my tickets, sent off for my visa (only got a 90 day, dang!), and arranged for an apartment and guide service with Don and Rhonda at Amerioca Tours (www.ameriocatours.net). I ordered some books on Rio (Rio for Partiers was useful, as was the Portuguese phrase books). I got through the first few CDs of Pimsleur, so I could at least say useless things like ‘I don’t understand’ and ‘I speak very little Portuguese.’

I didn’t keep daily notes like Valtereekian does, and I won’t do a lot of flashbacks about my pathological fear of clowns like Jaguar (although clowns are scary bastards when you think about it), so I’ll keep this from being a novel.

My flight down was pretty uneventful compared to someone like Jaguar. Boring is fine by me when traveling. I even managed to sleep a little in coach without any help except for ear plugs and a blindfold, which usually works okay for me, especially since I was behind on my sleep already.

Roberto was waiting for me with a taxi, part of Don’s guide service, so I got to avoid getting ripped off immediately. I wouldn’t avoid every pitfall of Rio, not by a longshot, but I missed that one. I’ll save that experience for next time. While I’m a smart guy, and can learn a lot from reading, I tend to learn most hard lessons best first hand (although Jaguar’s reports are pretty good second-hand lessons I’ve learned a lot from!).

Don met me at the apartment, which was actually Rhonda’s who was out of town. The price was right at $65 a night considering it was a nice place, had high-speed internet, and no guest fee (although I made a policy of tipping the doormen regularly). I didn’t take a lot of pictures this trip, but I did take some of the apartment.





I liked Don right away. I wanted to take a shower and unpack a little, and he needed to get a shave. “We have people to do that for you down here,” he said. Then he added, “Don’t masturbate. We have people down here to do that for you, too.”

After getting squared away, Don fixed me up with a cell phone and took me to Terraco Atlantico (TA) in front of Help to meet the other Hombres in town. There were too many to remember, actually, since a few I only met that one time. But there was Valtereekian, Gr8ter, Chave, Hemp, Sandman, and Sweetmesquite. One of the real nice things I was to discover on this trip was that most of the guys on this site are real nice guys in person, and good to hang with. Everyone was friendly and full of helpful advice, which I followed for the most part. Thanks for helping make the trip a great experience!!!

Don’s standard deal with first-day newbies is to take them to Luomo’s, which is walking distance. He gets a commission, too, which is fine by me, and they don’t charge him a cover. We stopped at a drugstore on the way so I could pick up some Cialis and deodorant. It was about $R90 for a package of four. I’m 37, and it doesn’t pop up like it did in my early twenties. I mean, it pops up fine, but I knew it wouldn’t for what I wanted to do in the next eight days. I took a Cialis every other day and had no issues with erections at all, even going for 90 minutes straight once or twice.

Luomo’s was pretty great, in my opinion. This was the same night that SweetMesquite got pissed off about their new no phone policy (resulting from someone videotaping a show there recently). I don’t need to be in contact, so no problem for me. I was having a great time checking things out. Now, I’ve been to Adelita’s Bar in Tijuana a couple of times, and this was similar, except everything was two steps higher in quality for about the same price.

Bruna descended on me right away, with some English. She was pretty, but not the prettiest. Her body now, her body was pretty awesome, tight and petite the way I like it. After making out a while, we went back for a 40 minute session that finished with anal. Talking for a few minutes afterwards, she made me promise to go do something other than termas during my vacation (e.g., Christo, Sugarloaf, etc.). I said I would – my first lie in Rio.

Don told me that Bruna liked to hook into guys and make them her regulars, so despite the fact that I was really tired, I decided to take another girl back. I picked Shayla, who came highly recommended. She’s a tall, enthusiastic blonde. I went with her for an hour and she lived up to expectations, mostly. She kept saying I had a “fat one.” I popped after 30 minutes the first time. She spent most of the rest of the time trying to get me off a second time, but I was pretty tired and despite some heroic efforts, she failed. I can still recommend her without reservation. Afterwards I danced with her a while, despite how hard it is to dance in silly flip-flops and those robes.

I noticed Gr8ter hanging out with a very attractive girl, but eventually he didn’t session with her. More on her later. We left Luomo’s after that, over four hours there. Finally damage for me was $R500. I went straight back to the apartment, exhausted.

I slept 11 hours that night, until noon, and started a pattern of skipping the beach jogging I’d planned to do in favor of sleeping late and hanging with the guys.

I’d read Wombat’s report, and others, talking about the “shit-flinging bastards.” I’d even asked Don about this my first day, and he’d elaborated a bit. As I was walking from the apartment to TA along Atlantico, about 1:30 PM, I realized someone was walking right behind me almost in step. I was turning just as the shit hit my shoe. They have mad skillz! I’d nearly caught the bastard and he vanished immediately. I’ll score that one as even, since I had to clean the shoe myself.

This, my second day, was a Friday. I was well rested and not wore out, and this was a pretty big day: three termas and Help. I went with Chave, Hemp, Gr8ter, and SweetMesquite to 4 x 4 for starters, going before 5 pm for the discount. Don and Hemp recommended Gleise, the “Brittney Spears” lookalike there. I think there are photos of her somewhere on the site. They said she was just okay for sex. She was very, very pretty and very, very sweet. No problems there. I had a great one-hour session with her. Afterwards, it was after 5 PM and it had become “a Brazillian swordfight.” At one point from my seat in the corner, I could only see four girls in a sea of white robes. I wound up paying $R200.

We headed to Aeroporto next. No one liked it. There were a few attractive girls, but a lot more who weren’t. The bar is really small, with a very low ceiling, with mirrors everywhere. One girl I thought was pretty attractive talked to SweetMesquite for a minute. I asked him about her and he said she was pretty lousy in bed. Oh well.

Rio Antigua after that. I gather the score on this place is that it has great facilities and less than great girls. I saw more I liked than at Aeroporto at least. I went with a girl named Natasha, dark-skinned with long curly hair. Her look reminded me of an ex-girlfriend, so I overlooked the belly on her. It was a pretty good, but not great session. I did like the mirrored ceiling. Gr8ter went with an okay-looking but not great looking girl named Natalie. He came back raving, “Awesome! Awesome! Best sex ever in Rio! Awesome!” He can supply details if he wants to. I think I paid about $R200.

SweetMesquite and I went with Gr8ter and his live-in girlfriend, the Copperfieldkid, and his date, to Impanema to the Ispandada Grill. Hope I didn’t butcher the name too badly there. Valtereekian was there already with two hot little spinners he posted about in his recent report. It was really great food, really great wine, and really great company. A highlight of the trip.

I went to Help later on that night for the first time. Hemp, Chave, and a few others were already inside with some tables on the stage. Don was a little worried about who I took back to the apartment after recently having had a bad experience a few weeks earlier, and I knew Help to be a crapshoot in any event. Hemp and Chave pointed out a hot, tight little blonde dancing nearby who worked at Solarium under the name Andrese. Terma girls in Help were going to be as safe as they come. I liked her, but she vanished after a while. When I saw her again on the main dance floor, I went down to dance with her. It turned out she wasn’t alone, but had a friend with her. I danced with both of them for close to an hour, and wound up taking both back for $R600 total. Andrese, whose real name is Fernanda, and Barabara, who used to work out of Barbarella’s. The two of them fucked me and sucked me for a couple of hours. Fernanda was into sticking her finger in my ass, and I was good with that. I came in one of their mouths and here, a week later, I don’t recall which. They left their phone numbers, then they went out to eat at Bob’s and I let them go. I have sleep apnea, and sleep with a Darth Vader type mask strapped to my face connected to a machine, which I feel a little weird about. In the end, I didn’t have any girls stay overnight the whole trip.

Now, on this first trip with a big camera, I didn’t have the balls to try to take pictures in a terma. I should have been taking pictures of everyone coming back to the apartment who would let me at least. The three I asked later all said yes, happily. I’m sorry I missed pictures of these two. And, oh, they’d cause me some problems later, too.

Saturday, my third day in Rio, was significant. A new guy, Charles, came in. I liked him a lot. He’s not on Club Hombre, at least not yet. An elementary school teacher, he was on a budget, and on this his second trip to Rio, investigating the possibility of moving down. We went with Don to Luomo’s again. There were more girls there I wanted to try.

There were 3-4 girls I liked immediately upon entering. Bruna approached me immediately, attaching like a remora on a shark. After a few minutes, I told her that I liked her but wanted to go with someone different tonight. She detached politely and was really cool about it. This is a smart, friendly girl. Anyone could do worse than Bruna.

The girl that Gr8ter had been hanging with was hanging near me at the bar. I’d glance at her, she’d glance at me. Then this girl with short, black hair cut her off and approached me. Her name was Yasmine, and she had a sort of spooky look I liked. For instance, she had a Wicca tattoo on her lower back. She asked if I liked her friend, Natasha, who was very pretty, so I said yes. I wound up going back with them for an hour in the deluxe suite. My first dupla, cool! I came in both their mouths, and got to be part of a discussion between them about trimming/waxing their pubic hair. It was a good time. I went back out to the bar and hung with a local gringo named Matthew from New York. There was a drunk Brazilian there who was acting weird and getting into arguments with various girls (especially Shayla). He at one point was acting aggressively toward Gr8ter’s girl, and I got a little protective, buying her a coke and hanging on to her. Eventually security say the drunk guy out.

I asked her – Julia -- when she was working, telling her I’d come back for a session at least one of the next three nights. After a while, I was pretty hard and let her know I wanted to go back right then. She was pleasantly surprised. It was a pretty great 40 minutes, and I came hard in her ass. Buying drinks, plus the big dupla session, the damage was a record for me so far, $R900.

It was after 11PM, and I walked with Matthew to Help. Matthew is kind of a bad ass, and while he scared me in some ways, I liked him. If we got into trouble walking in Rio at night, I knew he’d act very quickly. I’d get his back as I could.

Help was interesting again, and I enjoyed hanging out watching all the people, but didn’t take anyone out.

The next day, I hooked up again with Chave, Hemp, Bluestraveller, and Jay for a trip to Solarium. Solarium was the one terma I like better than Luomo’s. Andrese/Fernanda was there, and I had a lot of fun with her drinking and dancing. I sessioned with her and it was really pretty great. I finished during an Evanescence song I really like. There were quite a few other girls I would have also been happy to go with, however. Chave arranged for a girl he liked to come to Help that night, with perhaps a few friends. We ate at TA, some really good food, hit help. Eventually Chave's girl arrived with one friend in tow (unfortunately Fernanda didn’t make it that night). Then things got a little weird. I was uncertain about who to take out, if anyone. Chave's girl was pretty hot, named “Sol.” We had pretty similar tastes, as he’d actually taken Sol out already on his current trip. Now he was feeling bad about leaving Sol hanging and fucking her best friend. I was very happy to play wingman and take the problem off his hands, but either Sol was just in a bad mood, or was unclear on what was going on. She went off to buy her own drinks twice (I tried to stop her, too late, the second time). Finally, Chave was tired and needed to go. I asked Sol about going back with me for $R300 and she said yes immediately. We actually beat Chave and his girl to the taxis. She said “Fuck” every time anything went wrong (like when we goofed on the apartment elevator). Now, I thought she was very attractive, sort of a Elizabeth Berkley look-a-like, but she was tired or pissed or both. Chave had said he had an awesome time taking her home. We had sex once, which was fine. She fell asleep when I gave her a massage afterwards. She then called for a taxi, and slept an hour (until about 5 AM) before it arrived.

Monday, I went back to Luomo’s with Don and had another session with Julia. This one was better than the first and I came in her ass again. I asked her for her phone number and she gave it to me on a crumpled napkin, saying it was a secret. I gather the management frowns upon this sort of thing. She was becoming more beautiful to me each visit, and I really enjoyed just staring in wonder at her face. She called me crazy a lot, and made some really cute, funny faces.

I’d been in Help three nights in a row, and that was enough. I turned in early, and worried because I was developing a sore throat the way Chave had just before he left town.

On Tuesday, many of the Hombres had left, and the remaining ones weren’t around. I went to Alcazar’s, hoping to hook up with Don at least, but he was watching a movie. When you hang on your own, you get a little more than just the souvenir guys. I had a couple of skanky girls try to pick me up, for instance, and watched some local kids get into a fight nearby (which was broken up first by a pregnant girl then by police).

Brazilspecialist gave me a call after I’d been there a while. We’d exchanged a little email before I arrived and I’d been over a few days earlier to meet him and see his place. He had a girl he wanted me to come over and check out. So I went over to check her out. Her name was Mane (pronounced man-ya) and I liked her pretty well. I took her back to my place for $R150 and had a very good time with her, finally getting some photos. She left me her email address, although she speaks no English, as she had no phone number. I gave her an extra $R50 for taxi expenses, which was probably too much.

I finally hooked up with Don and wanted to hit Monte Carlo. I knew MC was not a terma that gave Don a commission or waived the cover, but I’d also read at CH that they had an online discount. I wanted to hit MC because it was close, and because Chave, who has similar taste in women to me, highly recommended a girl there named Didi or Dotty or something like that. So we went to an internet café, printed a coupon, and I picked up Don’s cover. Inside wasn’t so great. The place was full of Italians, and they broke three glasses, slow to be cleaned up, while I was there. Most of the girls were chunky to my tastes, and there were only 3-4 I liked. I figured/hoped one of these was Chave's girl. I wound up going back for 40 minutes with Angel, who was fairly attractive despite her braces, but wound up being a less memorable session. We did some anal for about five minutes, then she changed condoms and we went back to vaginal intercourse. I took nearly the full hour and was hot and dripping sweat before I finished. I paid $R196, plus Don’s cover (my idea).

Wednesday, first thing I got a call from a friend of Mane’s seeing if I wanted to get together. Now, that might have been fine, but I’d been planning to meet with Charles for lunch at Kilogramma, and was pretty hesitant to commit to anything sight unseen. I told the girl I had plans with my friends but was maybe available tomorrow. It was really this that made me think I’d paid too much. I think the girls have a good time with me, but I think money is a much bigger draw.

A couple of new guys arrived: workoutmaniac01 and a friend of his. We hit Luomo’s again, and I wanted to get a picture of the Christo from just outside the entrance, but the weather didn’t agree. I sessioned with Julia again for an hour. It was great again, although I didn’t finish in her ass. I was going to, and she shifted positions. I’d have been okay if I’d known enough Portuguese to tell her to hold on for one more minute. She had come at some point in there, and given that I guess I’d want to shift, too. The phone rang after an hour, and she asked for five more minutes, and I finished in her mouth. Later, she seemed upset and chided me that I “didn’t like her back” anymore. Of course I did. God, I loved her front, her back, and everything. That’s probably another thing I liked about her, how she usually found a way to tease, a little. I had Don do some translating and talk to her about hooking up with me after work on my last night in Rio (the next night).

That night I fucked up a little at Help. Jaguar, pay attention. I knew I wanted to go back at least one more night before leaving Rio, and with a date with Julia set up, it was that night. I was feeling a bit tired, maybe still on the edge of being sick. The plan was to go in with workoutmaniac01 and his friend, watch the show for a while, and leave alone. I was hanging out, watching, when workoutmaniac pulled me onto the dance floor. He was dancing with this hot girl, and wanted to introduce me to her friend. Her friend, whose name I didn’t quite catch, was attractive enough. Not terma-attractive, but cute. So I danced with her for a time, not intending to take her out and not encouraging her too much. Except I danced with her for close to two hours and bought her two drinks. Now, this alone wouldn’t be a huge problem. I felt bad about wasting that much of her time since I didn’t want to take anyone home and didn’t have enough cash on me or at the apartment to afford it. She was working, and I was fooling around. Okay. But close to 2AM I was in line to buy us drinks (pina colada for her, which are strong at Help, and another water for me), when I spot Fernanda and Barbara waving at me. Damn. Okay. I have to go say hello to them. I kiss them hello and tell them I’m feeling tired and going home alone. Then I go back to buy the drinks. And five minutes later I tell the girl I’ve been dancing with that I’m tired and going home alone, which is true. She, of course, thinks I’m dumping her for Fernanda and Barbara, which is a very reasonable if wrong deduction, and calls me a liar. I offer her $R50 for her time. She wants $R100. I give it to her. If not for Fernanda and Barbara, I suppose I could have pulled off a disagreement about pricing and not pissed this girl off so much, but I knew I wasn’t going to take her home and then added insult to injury. I’m sure some of you reading this think I shouldn’t have paid her a dime, but I really did feel bad because it really did look bad. I could afford it, so no big deal, but this girl will shoot daggers at me next time she spots me in Help I am sure.

The next day Brazilspecialist called. He had another girl in that he’d shown me and Charles pictures of. I liked her, but Charles REALLY liked her, so I let him have her.

I had lunch with Don and workoutmaniac at the Office. Don and I spotted Charles’ girl walking to his apartment on the way over, and resisted the urge to mess with her (Charles later told me she went three hours straight until he was wiped out, yowza). We had a really cute waitress names Shai who is apparently a lesbian. The filet minion special was a steal at $R15. They also have internet there for those of you who want a good meal and don’t want to pay for an internet café.

Now, I knew I was going to meet Julia at Alcazar’s at 2AM. That was a long time off, and I figured there was a chance she wouldn’t show. Karla’s models seemed a bit more reliable than other alternatives for some earlier action, and I knew I didn’t want to wear myself out. Don had recommended Tatiana, but she sounded like she would milk me dry. Don then recommended Angelica, who I had seen pictures of here on Club Hombre, and I had liked, so I had him set that up.

Angelica came over and was really pretty good. The only drawbacks were that she was having dental problems (I think she bit something hard and split a molar or something awful like that), and that she had a hard time with anal. Now, I don’t need to do anal with every girl, and didn’t, but I like it and asked for it. It was slow and awkward. I appreciated her effort, and we quite after about ten minutes. I finished with her hand/mouth, which was fine. Very sweet girl. After the sex, when we were both cleaning up, this song came on the radio and she came running back into the bedroom. She grabbed hold of me and we danced together while she sang along. It was really very sweet and moving and made me like her even more. I think this is the kind of experience that makes Rio beat the shit out of other mongering venues. These girls really are intimate and awesome, even the hardened professionals, in a way you’ll find no where else in the world.

So I had a quite a few hours to kill before Julia was off work. I cleaned up the apartment, trying to get rid of any evidence of other girls (e.g., used condoms, pictures on the camera, etc.). I eventually headed down to Alcazar’s, where I knew Don would end up. I read my phrase book, and hung out some with Rodrigo, the security guy, who was working on his English the way I was working on my Portuguese (I’d given him my other phrase book as a gift a few nights before). Don shows up, and we hang out for hours waiting for Julia. A little before 2AM a catfight breaks out near Bob’s down the block, and we all go look. Too little, too late, for much entertainment. 2 AM comes and goes. It’s a little past 2:30 AM when Julia shows. I’m thrilled. We get a cab and head back to the apartment.

Now I had a long thread in the South America chat section about what happened next (12 Aug 2005). The short version is that there was no sex, and she stayed for three hours but not overnight. I was pretty confused by this. I was ready to pay her a few hundred Reals and expected to have some good sex. I had some better Portuguese dictionaries, and babelfish online for translations, so we could talk a little. Basically, as far as I can tell, she says she loves me, and will miss me very much, and wants me to come back. I’m good with all that, as long as it isn’t a scam to collect some money. I really like her. There’s something I find compelling about her, the way Michael Corleone got hit by the “thunderbolt” in THE GODFATHER. I suppose that’s happened to most guys on here at one time or another at some level. I showed her my cold, small mountain home on the internet. I can’t see any Carioca ever moving where I live. Too cold, too small, too boring, so I am at least protect that way. I love her, Julia, in a way. She’s a rebound girl in my divorce-addled mind. Three terma sessions and a three-hour conversation I don’t fully understand don’t constitute a serious relationship. But she cried real tears, pouring down her pretty face, and it moved me. I had to force taxi fare on her, as it was “too expensive.” If/when I return in March, I’m ready to kiss away her tears and pump her ass to show how much I “like her back.” It’s an incentive to work on my Portuguese. And while I might send some gifts of my choice, I won’t send money, I’ve decided. That seems wise and obvious, now, before she has even asked. The odds are against any of this working out long term. I can see getting married again, but not to a Carioca. Maybe she is one of the few percent that is authentic, but still the obstacles are serious. My job isn’t mobile, and my home is too cold and small to satisfy anyone from Rio. So be it. I gave her my email address on a slip of paper and she wrote “My Love” on the back of it. I can happily live with that, without committing. To those of you who posted notes of advice in the chat area, thanks very much. As I said, there are some mistakes I need to make myself to fully learn from.

I took decongestants my last day, and had Alcazar’s Stroganoff for my last meal. Roberto got me to the airport in plenty of time for my flight, no problems. By the time I hit Sao Paulo, I knew I had a little cold. That sore throat was the start of something real. I made it back fine, but it was a little unpleasant. I have a work thing that will make me start work again Monday morning at 3 AM, which is sort of a bitch. That’s life. My work schedule means my next Rio trip can’t be until March. So be it. I’ll have time to save more money. I plan to go back. There will be a whole new batch of GDPs for me to enjoy.

Okay, this was a bit more of a novel than I’d planned on. I hope it was worth the time and effort. If it was too boring, maybe I can fuck up a little more on my next trip, or start sending money to Julia so you can all have a good laugh at my expense. After all, I’ll be paying for it either way, right?

Broman - Great report. It was a pleasure meeting and hanging with you in Rio. I look forward to seeing you again in March. Your trip was timed just right as you met some great guys while you were down here. - Thanks Hemp

Thanks Hemp. It was great meeting you, too.

A few other details I forgot to mention and wanted to add. Rhonda's mother-in-law cleaned the apartment three times while I was there, doing a great job, for R$30 each time (plus a small tip on the last day) and even did my laundry (the apartment had a washer and dryer).

Angelica didn't use lube except for the anal, as far as I could tell. She used a vibrator to warm up, and it was a lot of fun watching her do it and sucking on her breasts.

One of the things Julia and I talked about the last night was the other girls I went with at Luomo's before her. It wasn't really being jealous or teasing, maybe just something to talk about. What was interesting was her frank evaluation of each one. About Bruna: not so pretty, but good body. About Yasmine: ugly! About Natasha: Okay. Shayla: yes, she's great.

The exchange rate sucked while I was in Rio. I haven't checked yet to see what I was getting on the ATM or credit card yet. I really do hope it goes up to 3:1 again before I return.

I assume an admin will move the pictures of the girls into the secured gallery at some point soon?

So now you tell me you had sex with one of my girlfriends in Rio Natasha? - Very sweet girl and would you believe not a blonde (she has spent many a night at my apartment for free too I might add, except Taxi fare. See you again soon my friend. - Hemp

Natasha is definately not a blonde, but definately has one of the sweetest smiles at Luomo's. I'll bring you some Mac and Cheese next trip to make up for being one of the dozen guys to have her last week.

Broman, ok, i do remember that girl, she was really sweet and I liked her a lot. I would have gone with her had we not had the cell phone problem. I thought you were talking about a black haired, light skinned tall girl I had been talking to earlier in the day. Actually I really enjoyed talking to this girl and I got a really good feeling about her, but that being said I am always careful with all of them, but she seemed great to me.

Oi, Broman!

Sounds like you made it in just as I was leaving--I left on what was actually Valterrikian's first day. Some thoughts:

Bruna: yeah, she's a lot of fun. Cute, funny, and great in the sack. I was down for 6 weeks and I saw her latch on to a lot of guys, but she was always pretty professional when they went with other girls as long as they established that habit up front. I was only with her one time during the first week of my trip, and I'd fucked two other Luomo's girls before her, and another the day after her, but for some reason, she wouldn't let go of me. She gave me a lot of shit and piss and hell everytime I went in Luomo--which, over a 6 week period, was quite a lot. Right up to my last day, she wouldn't leave me alone. I almost regret getting with her because of all the hell she gave me because I wouldn't session with her again.

I did get a bit of unintentional revenge when I banged a hot little 19 year old from Help. Post-coital conversation revealed she just happened to be Bruna's roommate!! And they didn't get along too well. ;) So, the next time I saw Bruna and she started giving me shit about why I wouldn't fuck her again, I told her I was tired because I'd fucked Camilla, one of her roommates the night before. She went ballistic!! Classic!

Next point, in my opinion, $300 reals per Help girl is too much unless she's spending all night. $200 should be fine for a couple of hours, or $250 if you really like her and she won't budge. I only go $300 if I want her all night, and then I expect her to do me in the morning without my asking.

Matthew: yeah, he's an interesting guy. Friend of Don's. He stomped a cabbie outside of Barbarella's one night when the guy refused to use the meter, which is definitely one of the more interesting stories I heard on my trip.

Chave: GREAT GUY!!! Can't say enough good about him. I understand he's planning to come to Rio pretty regularly, and a guy could do a hell of a lot worse than to have him for a running buddy in Rio. Glad to hear he finally got on that plane. I think he delayed twice while I was down.


Shai: Yeah, she's a cutie, and a real sweetheart. I really enjoyed breakfasting with her in the mornings at the office. She offered to take me around town and introduce me when I come back down. The lesbian thing comes from a conversation I had with her in which she said she paints her nails dark in order to please a female friend. She said, "I try to do the little things."

Julia: Man...I don't know what to tell you on this one. I've been going back and forth over a lot of my experiences, and wondering what was real and what wasn't. A lot of guys here will gladly tell you that the only thing that was real was the money and the sex--and if you want to keep your heart and your money safe, that may be the only way to think. But, like you, I'm the kind of guy who prefers to learn hard lessons on my own. I saw some things that made me doubt everything I saw, and some things I couldn't help but believe were genuine. I worked in a strip club in America for a while in my youth, so I'm not entirely unfamiliar with watching girls play guys for cash. I'm sure Rio takes it to a whole other level, but...if you've got well honed instincts, it's hard not to trust them.

I met Julia while I was down (I believe she's Suellen's cousin, or some shit???), and she was always very sweet to me, and no, I never sessioned with her and she never asked.

I did notice a difference in the way girls acted when I asked for their number, repeated with them several times in a row, etc. And you were with her all three of your last times in Luomo--who knows? I had girls latch on to me hardcore before I even sessioned with them once, so I figured if I'm going to get shit either way, I may as well do whatever the fuck I want. So I had LOTS of repeats.

On the other hand, I had a conversation about this with one girl in Luomo who always sat with me and never asked for anything. I was talking to her about other girls. She told me, "We have hearts, too. Sometimes you meet someone you get feelings for. I met a guy I really liked, but he never believed me. I was like, 'What do I have to do to convince you I really like you?!?!'" There were tears in her eyes when she told me the story, and I believe they were genuine. In 6 weeks, I never gave her anything, and she never asked for it. She never tried to tell me I was "special," or work me in any way.

Another girl, Nicole in Luomo, told me, "If a guy is nice to me, I give him everything, because he deserves it. But if a guy is not nice, I only do my job." Again, I never spent a dime on her and she never asked for anything. And I do consider her a friend.

On the day I left, she cried like hell and told me when I come back I can stay in her spare bedroom for free. She's emailed me 3 times telling me how much all my friends in Brazil miss me and how much I will always be in their hearts.

Again, I never spent a dime on her, and in 6 weeks, she never asked for a session, or even a drink. And I honestly don't think she will. I've kept in touch with about 5 girls via phone and email, and in the almost 3 weeks since I've been back, none of them have asked me for a dime. And I made sure to let them all know first thing I'm just a poor gringo who only had enough cash for this one trip to Brazil.

Another girl told me about her sister, who married a gringo and lives in Chicago, I think. They have kids together, and she said her sister loves him. She said she wasn't in love with him when she married him, but she is now. So, yeah, it's nearly always about cash at some level, but I think a few of them can be human, caring people too.

I'm sure this will probably get cynical responses, and if I get hit up for cash, I'll post a retraction in this thread, but I just wanted to offer my current perspective. I won't post a trip report. Look at how long this response is! Can you imagine how long a six-week report from me would be?!?!

Oh, one last thing: Don. The guy was honestly a fucking prince the whole time I was down. I've never known anyone who would go out of their way for someone else like Don did. One night I'd arranged to meet 3 Luomo girls in Help. I had planned to do all 3 of them, but I ended up tossing one to another guy in town because he really liked her, and I'm greedy, but I'm not that fucking greedy.

Anyway, Don called from Alcazar at about 3:15AM and said it was raining like hell out, and when were we leaving. I told him probably 15 minutes, and thanks for the info.

At 3:30AM, when the 5 of us left Help, Don was standing outside holding an umbrella and waiting for us in a torrential fucking downpour. He let the 3 girls take the umbrella and me and him and the other guy walked in the rain to my apartment.

And at 4AM, when the girls complained about being hungry, Don cooked pasta for everyone. And then, since the rain was so bad, he slept on the couch while everyone else retired to the bedrooms.

I didn't end up getting sex because the two girls I took, who were roommates, ended up getting in a jealous fight in my apartment and they both split in a rage, leaving me horny and confused, and listening to my buddy banging the girl I'd given up in the next room.

But the point of the story is, Don waited outside of Help in a virtual tropical storm, gave up his umbrella, cooked pasta for 3 hungry hookers at 4AM, and slept on the couch. If you can find a better guide and friend to have during your trip to Rio, go with him. But I honestly don't see how anyone could do better than that.

Enjoyed your report, Broman, and good luck. Look forward to seeing you in Rio sometime.

"Do you smile to tempt a lover, Monalisa,
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart?

Many dreams have been laid at your doorstep;
They just lie there, and they die there.

Are you real? Are you warm, Monalisa?
Or just a cold and lonely, lovely work of art?"

I've got a punk rock version of this old song, and it's become something of a Rio theme song for me since sexing this lovely little 18year old named Monalisa.

My other Rio theme song is, "Awww, skeet, skeet, motherfucker!!!!" ;)

Great report and glad Rio was so good to you. When will you return?
Ireturn for this Tuesday for my 8th trip in a year and a half as I'm totally obsessed.

Yankee7, schedule permitting, I can probably get back to Rio for maybe 5 days in March, longer after May.

Gibletpie, interesting comments. Don is indeed a prince, and his warning about Bruna was perfect. I liked her, but Julia was definitely my preference for repeats. It was hard to even buy Julia a drink -- I think in all the hours I was with her I bought her two cokes. Well, time will tell.

I've spent a lot of time in U.S. strip clubs, too, and there are quite a few similarities. Differences, too, but many similarities. Most strippers are batshit crazy, fly through their money like no tomorrow, and milk guys as much as they can. A smaller percentage are just making money, and are sane, nice people. Then there are like two of them that marry billionaires.

I once went out a couple of times with this cute woman. We got along great, but she dropped me when she found out how old I was (apparently she wasn't into dating younger men). Then she married a multi-millionaire. I wanted to get a t-shirt to wear at parties that said: "Date Me. My last date married a millionaire."

Didn't PRETTY WOMAN teach everyone that all hookers have hearts of gold? And that they're good marriage material?

Excellent post and oservations by both Broman and Gibletpie. I've been to Rio 8 times over the last couple of years and have hung out with all but a couple of the guys you've mentioned and I had met them all through Don.

Even though I've never actually retained his services as most of my trips have been with Rio vets. I know from meeting him and running with his clients that he is definitely worth the money.

Don is a great asset to any newbie and a good friend to most vets. Even though he is providing a service he goes the extra mile that makes anything you pay him not enough.

Gotta agree with you on the strippers, Broman. You pretty much hit the nail on the head. Though working with them did teach me how to get a lot of attention from them for comparatively little money.

One more little Rio story, for whatever it's worth. I had one girl from 4x4 meet me at TA for lunch one Sunday. I asked her what she wanted to eat. "Just a little ice cream," which she fed me with her spoon. Anything to drink? "I'll just have some of your water."

Afterward it was back to my apartment. After a few hours, she asked me what time it was. "About 7:30." She looked sad and told me she had a 3 hour ride home. "3 hours!?!?!" "Yes," she said, "I live in Cabo Frio."

"Cabo Frio!?! You came about 5 hours round trip to see me?" She smiled and said, "Sim. I only come to Rio Monday through Friday to work. I go home on the weekends."

So I walked her down to get a taxi. Money hadn't been discussed at all, and I didn't know if I should bring it up. "You want money for a taxi?" She said, "Okay." I asked how much and she held up 3 fingers.

I thought, Oh, okay, here's the punchline. So I asked, "3 hundred reals?" Which seemed reasonable for a beautiful terma girl and her travel distance.

She said, "NOOO!! 3 hundred reals for a taxi, are you crazy?" I said, "What, 30?" She nodded.

So, yeah, the whole thing cost me 30 reals.

Over the ensuing week, I told virtually every garota I sessioned with about the girl from 4x4 who'd come from Cabo Frio to see me and only wanted 30 reals cab fare. They all said, "Wow! Okay, that girl really likes you." Even Bruna who wouldn't leave me the fuck alone. Even one terma girl who, after my first session with her, offered to spend every night over my final week at my apartment for free (I took her up on it twice). She kept telling me I should talk to the 4x4 girl because she obviously really liked me.

And a week later, on a Saturday, the 4x4 girl stayed with me all night for free--again asking only for the 30 reals taxi fare.

So, yeah, man. I know where you're at--minus the emotional stress of a divorce, of course. And you can go to insane, conspiracy theory-like lengths to explain all this. And maybe those guys are right. But thinking that absolutely everything, in every single case, right down to their body language, is part of an elaborate and masterful con-job seems a little more nutty to me than believing a girl might actually like to spend time with me. If I were very old and fantastically overweight and obviously diseased--in short, clearly unencumbered by either good looks or personality--sure, I'd be suspiscious of a lovely 20 year old's motivations. But I'm still a fairly young man who's used to attracting a decent amount of female attention in bars and clubs here in the U.S. So, personally, I don't think it's impossible to meet a girl who'll be somewhat genuine with you in Rio. But maybe I'm headed for a fall... At least I'm enjoying the ride ;)

Then on the other side of things, there's the hottie I took out of Barbarella's who tried to talk me up 100 reals AFTER the disappointing sex, AND wanted 50 reals taxi fare to get home to Barra. (Spinner named Christina. Dances well. Shakes her ass a lot. You've been warned.)

And then there's the girl at Luomo who told me she REALLY likes Don, but she isn't sure how he feels because "Don likes everybody." And she knows he's not a rich ticket to America. And she knows he doesn't session in Termas.

I guess what I'm saying is, take everyone's advice with a big heap of salt--mine included ;)

Gibletpie

The real question IMHO is not "does she realy like me " but "why a GDP".

Great report. I have special friends like Julie in Thailand. I see nothing wrong with treating them special, like sending small gifts, emailing, and generally becoming good friends with them.
Although I had a great time in Rio, I didn't meet anyone that affected me quite that way. When you do meet someone like that it makes it really hard to venture to other mongering destinations because you want to hook up with your special friend. It's great after a long airplane flight to be met by someone special, even if it is based a lot on money.

Broman-

I had a similar experience my first time in Brazil. Met this girl from Recife in Help. She said she was a nursing student...I was into her. I never sent money but contemplated it several times. I never did. Glad I did not. Just remember, you felt like your ex-wife was worthy once, too. You just got your freedom. Don't go back to jail so quickly, enjoy the VARIETY that you will experience in March.

Nice job on the report, I enjoyed reading it. Hope that you have a smaller camera for your next trip

Coprabrasil, thanks. I believe I'll try to keep in touch with Julia, but try to avoid the kind of stuff that happens to Jaguar. Perhaps it's impossible. I'm sure there's a double standard still in operation despite the circumstances: I mean, you know she's fucking around, she works in a terma after all, and she knows you're fucking around because you fucked her and her friends in the terma where you met. And I really don't care she's fucking around -- it's her work, and she's making money. Her choice. I really did think that Gr8ter should have gone with her that night, both because he would have enjoyed it, but also because she'd have made some money.

Gr8ter had a pretty nice situation set up with a live-in girl when I met him. He and she did their own things in the afternoon and then were together in evenings. I guess with the money and the right girl, you can have both worlds. Lucky man.

Gpie -- It's about 2 hours ride to Cabo Frio from Copacabana. The only way 30 reals pays for that distance is if she threw in a blow job. Were her lips a little sticky when she arrived at your place, or only when she left??

SF Hombre - I am laughing so hard right now. That is priceless 30 reals and a blow job!!!!!!!
Hope to see you around the campus one day soon. - Hemp

I think I have paid on average between R$200 and R$300 for cabs to Buzios...she either took the bus or SF Hombre is on the right track...

SF Hombre, my understanding was that she took a bus and a ferry or something. The 30 reals was to cover the ride to wherever she had to go for passage, which I assume she paid for by her own means. If she likes to hum for goods and services rather than ask me for the cash, I may have to start taking her with me wherever I go ;)

I once read about a sting involving johns picking up streetwalkers in Austin. A guy solicited an undercover cop for sex by offering her "$6, a candy bar, and half a bag of skittles."

Hell, I would have arrested the guy!

Broman

Can you describe the one you banned called Fernanda? I have a regular named Fernanda but she doesn't normally go into Help, I'm curious if she's the same girl? Damn it's going suck if it's the same girl..lol

Not like she's a virgin, but you know!

Man, I've been in Rio twice in the last year and I've only met Brazilspecialist and maybe 2 other dudes from here. I gotta get out more often. I'm in Rio the last part of Sept maybe I should not be so shy next time :-)

(Message edited by back12draft on August 15, 2005)

Back12draft, there are probably a lot of Fernanda's down there. This one goes to Help, and works at Solarium (so easy to catch her there). She's got medium-length blonde hair, cute but not beautiful face, and an awesome petite, toned body. If you think it might be her, PM me and we can compare phone numbers.

If you check out TA or Alcazar's in the afternoon, tables with gringos might well be from Club Hombre. Or pay for Don's guide service for a day and get introduced to people he knows in town when you're there.

great report and pics..makes me miss my 2 trips to Rio that I took this year in March and July...
ahh memories...

Guys, not accounting for inflation, taxi to Buzios is 100R local price. I've had that confirmed by a few friends. Thus, Cabo is a little less, maybe 75R.

As a gringo (with some Protugese) I was able to negotiate a 150R taxi on my new year's trip two years ago. It wasn't until our 4th attempt that we found a taxi for the 150R as the three before that wanted more (thining we were stupid gringos) and numerous others didn't meet our standards to even ask. That was our plan, with nearly a week in Rio before going to Buzios to pick every taxi we used and liked and discuss pricing to Buzios for later in the week.

It is even easier to get a lower rate if you give the driver a few days notice so he may attempt to plan a return fare.

Thus bus is much cheaper, well under 15-20R (and it's nice). A taxi to the bus station is maybe 15R as it's not fare from the downtown airport.

Broman

I figured as much, Fernanda is as common as Mary here in NA.

I've seen the dudes hanging out at Alcazar's in the afternoon I tend to fly low key and don't do the Terma's much. I prefer to whore around at night and lounge in the daytime.

Broman,

Paying the Help garota anything when you didn't leave with her is a sin. However, for two hours, if you were basically telling her you were taking her out of there, grabbing tits, etc, that's an even bigger sin, so we can count the R$50 as penance and you're even!

As far as everything else, it's a real common story that has happened to everyone a few times.

Giblet, tough luck on the rainy night! You can harness the insane jealousy factor that all garotas cariocas seem to have, but it can really blow up in your face. Gotta be tough, one guy in a bedroom laying pipe to your backup garota while the two primary garotas have a bitch session and leave. My guess - they are fucking each other and are in a relationship (a large percentage of GdPs are dykes) and one said something or did something that the other didn't like and laid down the law, and left you high and dry.

Personally, I would have waited until your roomate fell asleep and then grabbed his garota. But that's just me.

Catocony- HA! Yeah, it was a weird night, but it's all laughs now. Makes a good story.

I think you nailed it. I'm sure they were probably in a relationship. Not anymore. I'd laid one of them in the terma, we'll call her Ingrid ;) , and I was going to bang the other one, let's say, Susana. Susana had been flirting like hell, and Ingrid had gotten very posessive of me after only one session. I was receptive to Susana's advances and she told me her and Ingrid were roommates.

Well, I figured the best way to NOT cause too much trouble was to do them both. I should have just taken them both to a cabine right then, but instead I told the two of them we were all going dancing that night, and to bring their 3rd friend too. In my mind, like one big informal foursome.

Susanna kept saying she'd have to ask Ingrid, so she knew Ingrid was very posessive of me. Then, she tried to say she shouldn't go to Help. Ingrid told her to come. Then, in Help, once I'd seen the way my buddy was drooling over the 3rd girl, I told Ingrid, "I think my buddy likes her," knowing Ingrid would be happy to get her out of the picture.

Then Ingrid told me Susana didn't want to come back to the apartment. I said, "Why? She should come." Ingrid told her, "See? Come with us."

Once at the apartment, it was clear Ingrid was trying to push Susana out of the loop. She was monopolizing my attention, ignoring Susana. Susana looked miserable and I felt bad for her. Then Ingrid tried to take me into the bedroom while Susana was still eating and Susana looked unhappier than ever. So I said, "No, let's wait for Susana."

Then, finally, we all got in bed. Susana looked like she was just trying to sleep. I told the girls to "Chira todo." Ingrid said, "I'm afraid it's just going to be me tonight."

At that point, Susana started freaking and yelling in Portuguese, and Ingrid started yelling back, and I didn't know what the fuck was happening. Susana split. Ingrid hung out for a minute. "What happened?" I asked. Ingrid said, "I think Susana got jealous because she wanted you all for herself." But in my opinion, if that was true of anyone, it was Ingrid. She'd told me in Help earlier, "You're not my boyfriend, you're my husband."

The third girl comes in to see what the hell all the yelling was about and Ingrid starts talking to her very fast. All I can make out is the other girl repeatedly telling her, "It doesn't matter! It's all just work. It's ALL just WORK!" Then as she leaves the room, she tells me, "Talk to your girlfriend, she's crazy."

Ingrid whips out 2 cell phones and starts calling on one and texting on the other, at the same time, one in each hand. Then she tells me she has to go home for a bit. Says, "I'm sorry, I'll be back." It's like 5AM at that point, so I know she won't be back. I lock the door on her. At that point, the moaning and spanking sounds start coming from the next room, and Don and I share a few jokes and good laughs about my shitty luck.

The next day in Luomo, Ingrid tells me Susana quit work and moved out and they're not speaking anymore. She tries to blame the whole thing on Susana and shows me the deep scratches on her wrists and ankles where Susana had clawed her. Another girl later told me Ingrid had beaten the shit out of her, but I can't say how true it was.

And of course, it was all over Luomo that the two of them had gotten into a fight OVER ME. That was the rumor anyway, they'd gotten in a fight OVER ME. So, of course, every one of them put me at the top of her hit list after that, just out of garota competitiveness. It seemed like every girl in there was alternately giving me flirty looks and the evil eye. So I sat a handful of them down and told them I wasn't fucking anyone in there until they all stopped acting fucking crazy and we could all have a good time together.

Meanwhile, my buddy was laying pipe to half the girls in the bar--including 2 roommates--and nobody gave a shit. Prompting me to observe, "Manimal over there (Don's somewhat ironically hilarious invention) can nail every girl in here, but everytime I think about getting a hard-on, fights break out!"

I take the whole thing mostly as some sort of ego competition between two probable lovers, and chalk it up as one bad night among about 40 good ones ;)

Good for a laugh and a lesson anyway.

GP

everyone forgets....these gdp's use the bus....most likely 30r for the bus......take forever though.

and don't worry about the white stains around her mouth.....

I don't even think the bus to Buzios/Cabo Frio is R$30. That would pay for the bus from Copa to the bus terminal in Centro, for the ride from Centro to Cabo Frio, lunch and a few drinks. Or maybe she took a white minibus collectivo up there, they are pretty cheap as well.

Broman,

Very nice stats on the # of girls and the # of times finishing in mouth, pussy and ass, etc.

It was great hanging out with you. Sorry about that Help situation. And you're right, that girl I was with is hot. I ended up spending three nights with her and having her during my last night. Already thinking about her, which is probably a mistake.

WM

WM -- I let the Help situation happen to myself. Approaching an hour in, I knew I should have already gotten out, but let it continue which was bad. All my fault there. Glad it didn't sour your hot girl on you at all.

You should post your picture with Shai and the hostess of the Office (they can blur your face here at CH).

Gibletpie

Nice mess...lol

That's another reason I don't care much for Termas, too much drama amoung the girls, their turf, their games!

As for Help, ya gotta stay clear of the pro's or their crap is eventually gonna bite ya in the ass. I prefer the part-time or out of town girls, less hassle.

Plenty of girls with no drama to choose from but then again, some drama always makes for a fun time if you can easily let it roll off your back.

Broman.....very interesting trip report, just finished reading it! Your report brought back some fond memories I had of Rio.

Valtereekian was my hanging buddy on my last trip in Rio and I plan on re-joining him in November.

I was really interested in your adventures at HELP. I have to admit, I loved the place and hit it almost every nite. Unlike you, I couldn't find too many CH members to hang with me inside of HELP, with the exception of Snooky.....who was pretty cool to hang with.

I was kind of surprised to hear even Hemp was hanging inside of HELP. (Man....things have changed since my last trip!) Another real cool guy hang out with in Rio....very laid back and smooth guy. Most of the guys would only hang outside of HELP with me and enjoy the show!

As others mentioned, Don is also a cool guy and I hung out with many of nights at Alcazar! He got loaded a few nights and he was hilarious, but in all honestly, him and Rhonda provide an invaluable service.

Wasn't the kilograms the BOMB! I loved that place as while. I usually made daily trips there and also hit whenever I visited Brazil Sp's place.

Anyways....it's was nice to hear that Rio is still a nice place to be! It's a shame you didn't have the opportunity to participate in a Festa at VIPS.

Priew

The fog machine on the "Disco Daze" system inside Help broke down recently, and they issued a special request for Hemp to spend more time inside and chain-smoke a pack or three, to give the dance area that hazy look. Once the fog machine is fixed, I doubt we'll see Hemp inside again.

Priew, your reports put Thailand in the running for my first big international mongering trip, but your Rio report underminded Thailand in the end! I was usually in Help with at least one person I knew, often several, including Hemp, providing the smoke and haze.

It just occurred to me that Thanksgiving week is a real possibility for a Rio return. No problems with that week on the Rio side, I assume, and I'd rather go to Rio than see a bunch of old relatives and eat turkey when I'll do that at Christmas anyway. I guess flights out could be an issue. I'll have to start researching now.

Yes that is correct Hemp has been going to Help to assist with the smoke. As a matter of fact I even closed the place one night (no garota as I was too tired) but I rapped with about 50. Then went there the next night to about 3:00am and did leave with one (a girl from Luomo of all people). I guess at the young age of 39 I am turning into a real whore but I love it. - Hemp

Oh yeah one more thing - I am so happy that Layne finally left town as he was really cramping my style having sex with everything that walked. And he even had the nerve to tell me he had sex with the future Mrs. Hemp (Karen) in SP. Everytime I went to a Terma guess who was there doing the big nasty Layne of course! Hemp

Priew, I missed you during this last trip. I'd definitely love to hang out inside Help. I went to Help every night and had a chance to meet, chill and chat with Broman, Silentwonder, Raprador, BGLouie and his friends (I forgot about their handles) and my friends. Great time.

I'm deciding between Vegas (and NL Hold'em) and the loveliest city of the world, which is Rio for Thanksgiving.

OK, officially hooked. I just bought tickets for Thanksgiving week.

Workoutmaniac...come on pal, join us in Rio. You know it's going to be a blast! Anyways....hope we can meet one day.

Broman.....what days are in town?

I'll be getting in early that Sunday before Thanksgiving (the 20th I think), and leaving late the Saturday after (the 26th).

I am looking at arriving the 16th of Nov. and returning the 23rd. Not booked yet as I need to move some appointments yet. We'll see.

There are half a dozen pictureso of Bruna in Athos's recent report: 2005/07 Athos - Safado Athos Returns Home to Brazil

(Message edited by Broman on August 19, 2005)

As good of time you had in RIO, I have been there many times, Girls asking too much, HELP girls not all that good as in the past, etc. HELP is a crap shoot. Buenos Aires better for the buck and Thailand too. However, fares to Thailand have doubled and more expensive. Girls in the fish bowls in Bangkok hard to beat. Columbia good too for the buck.

Kicked, I really liked Rio and will return to Rio in November. I'd like to try BA and Thailand sometime in the future. It's too bad there's not enough money and time to go everywhere all the time. I've done a lot worse than Rio in the past, for sure. I sometimes get to travel to exotic locations for work, and will try to expand my horizons.

Broman,

You're more of a disaster than I am-- I gotta meet you soon.

Was able to slip out for a few minutes to read your report; it's great and I can't wait to hear more about your continuing novella. Now you know why I fall into each and every trap these Brazilian girls set-- they're so fucking convincing.

Take care my friend,

Jag

Jaguar, don't I know it?

I tried to call Julia yesterday and had a shitty connection. And it sounded like a man answered, then gave it to a woman, and the woman didn't sound like Julia and/or didn't recognize me. I may or may not try again soon. Do many people in Rio share their phones?

She hasn't emailed me, which isn't surprising since she seemed daunted by computers.

I'm thinking about letting everything go until November when I return, unless she does email me. The only downside I can think of is that it might be nice to spend some bigger blocks of time with her, and she might not be able to do that on short notice. The upside is that I can avoid the Jaguar trap of having a girl know exactly when I'm in town, and attaching the leash.

I should stop worrying about it and focus on my Portuguese and saving money for the trip.

Broman, based on your experience, don't worry too much about Julia. I have similar experience--I asked a girl to e-mail me (I can't read the handwriting of her e-mail), but she still hasn't done so. But, at least, I have been able to talk to her over the phone. I wish I knew perfect Portuguese. I'm thinking about meeting her in Cancun, Mexico.

Priew and Broman, it's very tempting to meet up in November. Vegas is definitely not as fun although I LOVE Hold'em. I am also thinking about a trip around Christmas time. Is Rio fun during X'mas??

Jag, make sure you bring a cap with you when you are not supposed to be in town. Or you can always borrow one from me or Don when we are around. Hope you juggled betweem girls OK. I can tell you, garotas get jealous easily.

Broman,
I was over there during your trip as well. I met workoutmaniac and his friend. I was also at Luomo's when workoutmaniac was there once. We could have possibly been there at the same time? small world

Vagabond,

Good to hear from you. Heard Gigante and your other friend (don't want to name him here) are already thinking about going back during Thanksgiving. I'm tempted to follow!

Yes, I bet the man Broman was at Luomo's at the same time. Should have introduced you guys. We all met so many via the famous Don.

WM

I think two of us (not Grande) are actually going back in late October. No way I can pull off the Thanksgiving trip.

Sounds like you guys may meet up with Yankee there then. Yankee's a friend of Grande's.

WOM,
I know Y7 personally and we live in the same city.

I was back in Rio Thanksgiving week for another great trip. I'm not going to do another full report for it (I took only like two pictures for instance), but I thought I'd make a short update.

While in the US, I tried calling Julia once, but had connection problems, didn't recognize her voice, got flustered and hung up. She never emailed. But when I made it down, she was at L's, and I saw her every day. She'd permed her hair since August, and while it was okay, I prefered her old style, and she changed it back two days later. My last day in town, she took off work and spent it with me (no charge, and I offered). We connected on a few levels and had some genuinely great moments. Teaching each other our languages and often spitting (accidently and with purpose) on each other in the process, to big laughs. Sharing the headphones on my ipod and singing along. One session that went over three hours continuously (her on top 80% of the time). Jumping on the bed and singing along to a song on the radio. A long, bubble bath in the jacuzzi at 5AM.

I've talked to her on the phone a couple of times since then (although her schedule and the time difference is making it difficult), no money requests. She's still working every night, of course, which is okay by me -- that's her job.

So I'm still confused, emotionally, about her. I think she may really sort of be the real thing, but I don't see how it can ever really work long term. That's okay -- it's wonderful while it's happening when I'm in Rio (next time may be March, definitely in May).

A few other things. I met old friends, and a few new ones, and that was great. Chave, SweetMesquite, SFHombre, Don, Gibletpie, etc., you're great guys that make Rio more fun.

The Atlantico Copacabana was a mixed bag. Bed was hard, internet never worked, but it was perfect since I was closing L's every night. Internet cafes made up for the problems in the room.

broman, you going to be down in rio over the next month?

Gr8ter, no, I'm not, unfortunately. Money and time issues make it impossible. I need to get some real work done on a couple of fronts, and the time between semesters is precious for that.

Broman, it was great hanging out with you. Looking forward to doing it all over again.

And it was Douglas Adams who said, "I love deadlines. I love the whoosing sound they make as they go flying by." ;)

Take care,
Ken

Gibletpie, it was great meeting you. I just finished reading THE GAME and really enjoyed it. I'm taking it to heart.

I feel that I should confess, too, that I gave Julia R$600 just before leaving Luomo's my last night and told her to buy a new telephone. My idea, since half the time her phone didn't work right when I tried to call her that week. Ring...ring...weird BEEP BEEP BEEP...silence... She told me I didn't need to give her money, and I told her I knew that, but I wanted to.

I'm a sappy ATM. I won't do it with another girl in the future if I can think straight. Until proven otherwise, I'm going to believe Julia is different about me and money. She took off work and never asked for money, and turned it down when I offered. She made us take the metro and buses rather than cabs (and I tried to get a cab, because I hate waiting, but she thought it was too much money). When there was a misunderstanding when she was listening to me and Sweet about a different topic, and she thought I was short on money, she changed the supersuite we were waiting for to a regular suite even though I told her it wasn't a problem.

Anyway, I'm getting with the Game and won't be an ATM in the future. Julia's not getting money from me if she asks for it.

And my current book deadline is still loudly wooshing by. I'm staying home for the holidays to work on it.

Broman, does it still look like you will be coming to Tucson/Nogie? AZ

AZGuy, yes I'm in Tucson for sure in a couple of weeks. I fly in Jan. 1, back out Jan. 7. I'm out of commission Jan 2-4 for full-time work stuff. Staying home for the holidays means until Jan. 1 only.

Broman, yeah it sounds like she's treating you well. Glad you enjoyed THE GAME. It can be a real eye-opener ;)

Oh, Gibletpie, one other weird thing she started doing was making me stop saying obrigadu. I mean, this makes sense if the sex starts meaning something, she doesn't want to be thanked for something she's enjoying, too. But she complimented me, or did some little thing for me, and I thanked her and it was the same deal. And after it took me years to learn to respond to a compliment with a simple "thank you."

Yeah, that is weird. I'd consider it a good sign...

Hey Broman, great report! Do you know how to get in touch with Angelica? You said Don set you up with her. How can I get in touch with him. I´ll probably be in Rio in April.
Thanks Mate:-)

Ghecco,
Angelica worked at Karla Models, but her picture is no longer on the website; usually indicates that they are no longer working for the agency. She maybe working as an independent or maybe taking a break and is going to come back at a later date. She is a good gal and very fun, we had her at my birthday festa last year. She does love her vibrator.

Ghecco,
You still might want to get a hold of Don. Here is their website www.ameriocatours.net .

Ghecco, Cortogringo told you everything I could tell you. And Angelica really does love her vibrator (she was disappointed I didn't have a new one for her to try, and she stole the batteries out of the TV remote for her own). She is really sweet, so I wish you luck finding her. When you actually are headed to Rio, check the Karla's models website again -- she might be back by then. Sometimes they do that.

Thanks guys! Won't forget a new vibrator for her:-)
