I don't have extensive experience in Brazil, but I went to a mega brothel in Sao Paolo where they had amazing girls that you could fuck in a curtained off area. You can hang around the main bar / stage / club area and have drinks while checking out the talent before picking one. The one I had looked like a very upscale, natural, girl next door type you would meet in the dorms of an elite college, except she was sucking off and fucking a bunch of guys every night. I wasn't sure how sanitary things were considering I didn't know if the girls were showering or rinsing out their mouth in between bbj and banging customers, but they certainly had attractive Euro/Latin lookin girls. I never even considered DATY, just bbbj and covered bang.
I was eyeing an absolutely stunning Japanese and Brazilian mix, but just as I was getting ready to make my move, some local guy cut me off and dragged her into the curtained area. All I could do was sneak a peek under the curtain area to see their feet positioned in a way where I could imagine how badly this girl was getting destroyed. Afterwards, the girl came back on stage and the guy was sitting around having a beer eyeing other girls...I could've had her then, but I wasn't sure if she cleaned off or not and it felt too weird and gay to get sloppy seconds as the very guy she was sucking off was sitting a few feet away from me.
I also picked one up at a club near Copacabana in Rio and she was really warm, affectionate, and loved to fuck. Not as upscale as the Sao Paolo one but very good experience. The were definitely some skanky, sketchy ones at that club and I avoided all street whores like the plague. I would not recommend Copacabana, I was lucky I didn't get mugged. Leblon and Ipanema are much nicer areas, but you can get mugged anywhere in Rio.
Prices were all very reasonable vs NY.
