Normally, I don't like to write a review about someone else's experience, but I did spend the evening with Alex so I think I know him fairly well, although I'm not sure I know enough about him.

Sponge Bob had a programma with him, and he would post this himself, but he hasn't quite figured out how to work the website, but I have given him a few lessons and he's catching on

Alex is very attractive.  He has appeared in at least one porn video for Alexander pictures, so an encounter with him is an opportunity to be with a real Brazilian porn star.

Sponge Bob reported that he is a wonderful programma and for a reasonable amount, R$100, he met him at his hotel room for a one hour arrangement.

For a programma, he probably is very enjoyable, but I have to warn you based on XChris' advice, do not get too overly involved with Alex.  I believe XChris described him as a TRIPLE warning.

If you choose to be with Alex, make sure your valuables, your passport, and your heart is safely locked away.

Here's the contact information he gave me:

Telephone number: (21) 9983-4637
E-mail: alexandrosantana2004@yahoo.com.br

From his videos, his pau seems to be around 8 inches, and he is quite charming and shy in person.  Just beware of the inner dangers that might lurk inside.

Wow. . .  is this another love story or a Post Office Most Wanted List posting?

My RJ and SP report to follow.

Hi Buttnovice, well I wish I knew which category to put him under.

What's ironic is that he is my namorado, Andy's, best friend.  I'm getting ready to wire Alex a birthday present for Andy since Andy's birthday was on the 5th of July.  Talk about a soap opera

Here are a couple of more threads on our site that talk about Alex:

Page 2, of my Tales from the Marvelous City thread

Some more pics of Alex

Alex is on the left in this pic and my good friend Yago is in the middle.  It's a small world in Brazil, well in some aspects

Alex is definitely very charming/great smile/versitile/big dick, has been in at least 1/2 dozen films and you absolutely cannot NOT trust him out of your sight!  He does a very good progamma, very interactive, good kisser.  I have known him about 3 years, and I haven't had a problem with him, but I will only meet him in the saunas where there is very little opportunity for him to go exploring for "things".  A friend of mine who has as much experience in Brazil as I do, had his Cell phone stolen by Alex, or actually caught him putting it in his pocket as my friend walked out of the bathroom! Another friend had cash stolen from him he left in his pants pocket and went into the  shower and after Alex left found out the money was missing.   When my friend caught him trying to steal the camera, he wasn't embarassed at all, rather a "nothing ventured, nothing gained" type attitude!

Bottom line, Fun guy but only in the Sauna or if you bring him to the hotel, keep everything locked up, don't leave him alone in the room for a min.!

I agree with Tomcal. I also have known Alex for more than 4 years now, the first time we met was at the Pointe 202 sauna. He is really enjoyable at first, he knows how to please, he is really into sex, mostly because it's his  way to earn money and open new doors. He is active and passive, even if he dooes use a lot of Viagra, Cialis and also other drugs, since he was younger. This is a must in the Favela Rocinha, where he lives. This is the reason why he is always looking for easy money to get, or things to sell to his friends up in Rocinha. He always needs money to pay debts, and he asks eveyone to help him, using often stories about illness of his little daughter.

He is also involved in other strange "affairs" with people of the favela, even as "aviao" delivering "favela correios". I heard stories about him locked in a favela prison by drug leaders because he had an accident with a motocycle against a chief and had no money to pay. I didn't believe this was ture, but a friend of mine sent 1800 reais to the mother of his daughter to help and free him, but I still doubt  the story, because after three months I heard a similar story again. 

The problem is that he is really handsome, and the fact that he did many porn film may intrigue a gringo, even if you know that for a film the garotos are payed only 300 reais, a little more if they are "completo". So I say again that he is a TRIPLE WARNING. The only option is to meet him for sex inside a sauna or a motel by the hour, and NEVER get involved with him with other opportunities, such as trips, visits to Corcovado  and  PLEASE DO NOT GO INTO A FAVELA WITH HIM !!!  He promises to protect you, but at the end you will be compelled to pay, or buy stolen objects at double of the price, and you cannot feel confortable inside a favela alone between criminals !!! And this just if you are lucky. Worst things could heppen to you. And again don't invite him inside your apartment. He is able to open whatever lock, if you give him enough time alone. He looks inside your pockets, bedroom, safes, looking for something interesting.

The worst part is that he has some friends with guns that can come and meet you inside your apt trying to sell drugs, just to understand if they can organize some more profitable robbery. Remember that he is a part of the new world, which is not worried with moralism or embarassment, just wants know more and more gringoes, to tale more profit from it. He knows that the old friends know him well, so he tries always to make new gringo friends, to try venture new scams.  He doesn't steal because he is a bad person, just because he cannot lose this habit very easy for him. Remember that for people living into a favela, all the other inhabitants of the "asfalto", the streets of the town, are just enemies. And a gringo is just another weak and unsafe Walking ATM.

Thanks tremendously Tomcal and XChris for the information.  It's greatly appreciated.

But you've left me in quite the quandry.  I was hoping the bad wasn't as bad as it seemed about Alex.  He spent the evening at my hotel room while my potential namorado (boyfriend) Andy was there.Nothing went missing even though I had a ton of electronics lying around.

Perhaps, I had special privilige since he was respecting his friend Andy while he was there and knew better than to try anything that Andy would have caught.

Andy calls him his best friend, and I can see how Alex could impress both gringoes and Brazilians alike with his personality and charm.  But, Andy wasn't even aware that Alex had done porn until fairly recently, so I'm thinking that Andy is totally unaware of who his friend truly is, and what his history is.

And of course, I can't share with him what I know.  I can refuse to allow Alex in my presence though in the future.

What to do when your boyfriend's best friend is a known criminal.  Now, that's the making of a novela, or at least a new thread! 

Thanks again,

- Drey

Here's a pic that was sent to me that demonstrates his fixation with pistolas.  And, I have to admit I was completely convinced he was a totally different person.  He is certainly artful in convincing a person that he meets otherwise.

Too bad his fixation with pistolas is not the one between the legs.

These posts about Alex were rather interesting as well as his very enticing pics, but if he's that nortorious-- why fool with him when there are innumerable guys throughout this city who are scorchingly hot and quite heavily hung? From what you wrote-- if I were to meet Alex, the session/s would be in my hotel room with EVERYTHING put away and locked or moved to a friend's room, or, as Xcris stated-- there are always the sex motels, but then again-- carry no valuables except for his fee. I guess that has to be hidden until after the encounter has been completed. Again-- thanks for all that posted here about Alex, but again for you as well as for me-- there are way other options to please you as well as keep your mind and spirit at ease!

As happens to speak about risky boys, I may suggest one more option if you happen to date with them somewhere.

Don't let him invite any of his friends to meet you where in the hotel, don't allow him order food or babidas or "a mototaxi friend of mine is coming to give me something I need", etc.

And, when in the hotel by the hour, use the trick to take a pic of him with your cell, and then send it to a friend of yours, letting him know what you did, or just call or pretend to call a friend of yours telling where you are and with who. You may do this smiling, just as a joke or a simple phone call to a friend you pretend to meet later, but is important that the garoto happen to know that you let a proof of the place and the boy that was with you. This helps him let any further plan to plan something bad with you, if this is his intention. This doesn't prevent minor risks, as to lose cells or cameras, because no policeman will spend time to run after simple crimes in a so dangerous metropolis.

I found out that the bad boy is leaving for Switzerland on the 16th of this month for a while.  So, he obviously still has a foreign sponsor out there on the hook.  It is really too easy for some of these guys, especially if they're good looking, are well-known in porn movies or magazines, and can turn on the Brazilian charm.

So, you most likely won't find Alex in the saunas for quite some time until his luck runs out.

Funny, that he sends me a big hug, along with his CPF, identification number and his full name to send him money for Andy.  Maybe I should withdraw funds for his thievery rather than make a deposit.

Andy still appears to think the world of him.  Maybe he's the Robin Hood of the Sherwood Forest favelas, stealing from rich foreigners and giving it to the poor.

Alex is going to Zurich again, sponsored by the old man who was robbed by him more than ten times until now. He knows, his best friends know and obviously warn him every time, eveybody knows, but love is blind, maybe at a certain age it is better to have a nice thief than the loneliness. Alex is picking eveywhere to provide enough resourses to go on. And all the others boys around have a sort of "inveja" (envy) of him , because everybody would do the same.

Hi XChris,

That is sad, but I don't think it's so much a reflection of Brazil as it is the typical life of a hustler, and in Alex's case an international gigolo, that find it easy preying on the vulnerable.

I met a hustler here in the U.S. that you might consider worse.  He moved in with an older gay man dying of aids, stole his charity check from a local church, and tried to cash it at the bank.  The church found out about it, and no longer helps him out.

Alex has probably taught many his skills to be successful and many have likely tried to mimic his behavior. But, I don't believe your statement that "everybody would do the same", no more than I believe everybody would steal a charity check from a dying man here in the U.S.  But, I know the economic plight of many in Brazil might make it more tempting.

Unfortunately, having a cold heart is a symptom of the world we live in, and Brazil is no exception.  Sadly the addiction to drugs, both in the U.S. and Brazil gives them an ever increasing motivation.

Now, I'll go see how successful the legitimate thieves are doing that run our U.S. financial institutions

xchris, 

     The proposal is disturbing to say the least--"maybe at a certain age it is better to have a nice thief than the loneliness."  But then, maybe I haven't quite reached that certain age or experienced the depth of that loneliness.  From my lips to His ear that I may escape having to make such a choice.
