Around 2002, when I was thirty-five, I traveled on business to São Paulo, Brazil, and stayed at the old Hilton Hotel. It has since been replaced by a new Hilton, which just isn’t the same!
I checked in after a long flight from the US. Every bone in my body ached from the flight, and I was ready to relax. The front desk clerk recommended that I visit the spa on the top floor of the hotel. It sounded exactly like what I needed: an afternoon with a nice massage, steam, sauna, cocktail, and relaxation.
Upon entering the spa, the host made my massage appointment and indicated that it would be about two hours from then. Not a problem. He noted my room number so that all charges would just go to the hotel bill. There was an attractive, tall woman in a spa uniform (matching shorts and a tank top that showed off her cleavage very well) standing at the reception desk. The host called Maria over, handed her my locker key and a plastic bag, and instructed me to follow her.
Maria gave me the traditional kiss on each cheek and motioned for me to follow. As an American gringo, I was a bit struck by the fact that I was following her into the men’s locker room, which already had men of all ages and nationalities (though mostly local Brazilians) in all states of undress, including many completely nude.
She found my locker, opened it up, and started to unbutton my shirt. I indicated that I could do that, but she playfully slapped my hands and placed them at my sides. She hung my shirt on a hanger and placed it in the locker. Next, Maria had me sit down on the bench as she knelt to remove my shoes and placed them in the separate compartment at the base of my locker.
I was beginning to wonder where this was going just as she yanked off both socks and gave each foot a little rub.
Maria was still kneeling in front of me as I stood back up in just my pants and underwear. She grabbed my belt, deftly undid the buckle, pulled my zipper down, and opened my pants, sliding them down as I stepped out of them. It had been a long time since I had been stripped of my clothes, and this action had an effect on my cock as it began to stiffen inside my boxers.
Without any hesitation, she grabbed the waist of my boxers and quickly removed them as my semi-hard cock sprang loose. She glanced at my cock and then made eye contact with a smile.
The really unusual thing (to me at least) was that none of the other guys in the locker room even glanced our way. Apparently, this is just how it’s done here. Once inside the spa area, I realized that my circumcised cock was quite the exception in a sea of penises with foreskin, which may have been the reason for her smile.
The plastic bag she brought in contained my towel and robe. Maria guessed my shoe size, which I could not even guess at in Brazilian sizing. She came back with a reasonably close-fitting pair of flip-flops. I was still standing nude at this point when she pulled out my robe and put it on me. She indicated that the towel was for sitting on.
By this time, there was another attendant in the locker room helping to undress the next guest in the row of lockers across from me. He appeared to be Asian and just as surprised as I was by the service given by the women at a major international hotel chain.
Maria led me out of the locker room and gave me a quick tour of the spa area, including the steam, sauna, showers, and the main lounge area where the bar was. The most interesting thing for me was how the massage girls would wait near the bar for their next client and seemed to have the freedom to roam the entire spa area.
