thinking of going to Rio de Janiero, Brazil

[afewgoodmen]

I have heard that men in Brazil wear more skimpier swim suits compared to our conservative counterparts here in the USA.

On many websites I have also noticed the "brazillian cut" bikinis.

Any suggestions as to what I should take. I know that it's summer time there and everyone will be on the beach.

Promise to take some great pics and post them on this site

Any tips on gay beaches?

When I was in Mykonos, Greece back in June I visited Elia beach. It was heaven on earth!!!!!

I thought the Brazilian tanga had largely disappeared for the boys now but you are bound to see plenty of sungas so a square cut speedo is appropriate if "when in Rome" applies on the beach - otherwise something in the style of the bodyboarding Guard already discussed would not go amiss.

Copacabana is known around the world of course but gays favor Ipanema next door I believe (and vids. on YouTube will show you what to expect).

Surprised to hear about Elia - heard that the old eye candy of its louche heyday is hard to find any more.
