Hi London Jim,

In Buenos Aires, you have (or had until last year) a suck cinema in the centre, next to the Obelisk, in a street called Suipacha.

The place has 4 or 5 theatres, 2 of them gay all with on entry ticket. Not very busy each time I went there, but there must be some time when it is, otherwise it would have closed down, wouldn�t it?

Easy to find. Take avenida Roque S. Pena (it is P-e-n-with-tilde-a, but this letter can not show on the sreen) leaving from the Obelisk. Suipacha is the first street on the left. The cinema is on the left hand side, before the next junction with avenida Corrientes.

A hotel called NH Latino is located at the corner of Suipacha and S. Pe�a. It has nothing special in terms of cruising, but it is an excellent hotel, with good value for money.

As for saunas, when I was in Buenos Aires a few years ago I enjoyed A Full sauna. It's clean, modern and there were lots of good looking guys. Some private rooms have glass ceilings where people on the upper floor can see what is going on below.

I don't remember there were many saunas when I was there. But currently there are at least 6 saunas.

I stayed at the 4* Bisonte Palace hotel, but I would say it is similar to the 2*-3* Pinnacle hotel in Bangkok!. It is conveniently located right in the town centre in the middle of shops and restaurants with a Metro station a few steps a way. I found it quite handy when I got to downtown from the airport by the Airport Express bus, as the bus station is just 3-minutes walk to the hotel. It is also about 15 minutes walk to A Full sauna. It served very good breakfast which was and is included in room rates. I remember I paid just about US$22 for a double room with breakfast for 2, but it now costs $65 at expedia.

Hi guys,
best comercial saunas in Rio are Point 202 in Copacabana and 117 in Gloria. Both very close to metro stations. They have lots of sex workers who are gorgeous. Be sure to set what you want to do and how much you want to pay. The lowest price is 50 reais or US 25. But shouldnt be more than 100 reais or US50. All sorts of guys from quite white to very dark.
Best movie house is Cine Rex on a small and narrow street behind a famous square downtown known as Cinelandia. Buy your ticket, get in and wait on the back so your eyes can adjust to the darkness. On the left side there is a dark room and on the right the toilets. Anything goes anywhere at the cinema. Be careful with money and belongings but it is quite safe. Just besides the movie theatre there is a porn shop called Sexy Rose where there are individual cabins with porn
movies and some dark rooms..
If you need anymore info on Rio just ask.
Greetings

Hi,
In Copacabana close to the gay venues and saunas at US50 I only know the standand room at Hotel Astoria - www.astoria.com.br
However the favorite of the gays tourists is The Atlantico Copacabana Hotel but than the price goes up to US60
www.atlanticocopacabana.com.br.

Both are in walking distance from the best gay comercial sauna the Point 202.

Hope to have been useful.
Take care,

I agree, Cine Rex is really quite good, plenty of hot guys wanting to get sucked.... not as many looking to suck--but since i like to suck, i was a happy guy! I spent about 2 hours there and blew 6 guys. Very fun! But don't bring anything valuable. It was interesting, I entered about 415pm, the area was buzzing. By the time I left at about 630pm, the area was really dead--few other businesses open nearby. So I do understand how downtown Rio gets kinda scary at night... every local I met warned me not to be around there are night--but in the day it was perfectly fine!

As a previous poster mentioned, www.GayTravelBrazil.com and www.Male4malescorts.com are two outstanding sites with a wealth of very useful information for one traveling to this South American continent. Other valuable sites to consult include: www.TheGayGuide.com.ar, www.stayinbuenosaires.com, www.Tangomen.com., www.gayguide.net/South_America.com. At the first BA site that I listed, three escort sites are listed although the webmaster does not promote such.

I plan to be in BA and Rio and Sao Paulo next October, too. I am getting somewhat excited although this will be my sixth trip to Brasil within the past four years. Go, keep your wits about you, and have a royal blast of fun; take in the culture of both countries, too, please!
