@Brian: Don’t act ignorant. Brazilians (along with just about any other nationality in the Americas) can be of any race or ethnicity. That’s why we have Japanese Peruvians, Irish Argentines, Chinese Jamaicans, desi Surinamese, etc.

Although the majority of Brazilians are of African and Native American heritage, the country has a SIZEABLE white population (and the largest population of Japanese-descended people outside Japan). Like many Latin American countries, the white minority controls the country financially, politically, and culturally. White European standards of beauty define acceptability of looks. This means that you will find very few people of color, non-white Latinos, as models or actors.
So, being Brazilian is like being American.
Many Americans do not understand that the phrases Hispanic & Latino refer to cultural ethnicity. As such a person can be Latino and be of any race. In the U.S., we usually see either white Hispanics/Latinos like Andy Garcia or Ricky Martin, mestizos (mixed white and Native American) like Edward James Olmos, or Native American/Indian, like George Lopez. No one in Latin America would describe himself racially as Latino because it doesn’t exist there as a category. People would describe themselves as white, black, brown, Indian/indigenous/Native American, Asian, Chinese, Japanese, mulatto, or another descriptor of color.
As for Terra’s “The Boy” campaign, a review of the models will show that most are white appearing.

Thank you all for the ethnic elucidation but I will agree with Brian. My first reaction was also that this was the whitest Brazilian I had ever seen. They obviously exist but are certainly the exception rather than the rule, especially on gay websites which like to promote the exotic. Not, as Jerry Seinfeld would say, that there’s anything wrong with that.

@Alan down in Florida: I think you missed the point. Yes, “white” Brazilians are the exception (i.e. a minority of all Brazilians) but as NOAH pointed out, most Brazilian models are white, as a standard of beauty that promotes lighter skin exists in Brazil AND the United States.
Thus it would actually be exceptional if Queerty would feature a Brazilian guy who appeared “non-White” since that would help disrupt the harmful notion that “Light is right.”
But, as Paulo indicates, there are a LOT of hot Brazilian guys, as a quick perusal of another blog, Made In Brazil, makes clear also.

And by the way, I love his skin tone. Not everybody should feel thet have to fry in the sun or get a sticky spray tan – or risk skin cancer to please others.

I agree with the tan thing; it’s WAY overrated. My hubs is from an Italian family that emigrated from Sicily. His family are all sun-worshippers and browner than a Hershey Bar. He HATES the sun and is as pale as my Irish ass. The only difference: time spent in the sun.

Geeze! I look at queerty’s soft porn pics everyday and I must say the models are all interchangeable twinks with not a lot of personality. Can we please have some variety??
Another thing: Where are the bulges? Every guy displayed here must be a grower not a shower.
Also can we see some males with body/facial hair?? This isn’t Falcon Studios circa 1988…..

He’s from Brazil and is that pale?
Hey Queerty, why not shave his head and eye brows and then he will be totally buff!! It’s time to get OUT of Brazil!

Very handsome and nice ass too. Wouldn’t mind seeing him again, 36 or 37. Does his dad have a set out there somewhere…?
:-)
Isn’t it wonderful that all the prevous commenters have totally missed the point?
Amazing stupidity of such people.
Are there any unattractive Brazilians? Just asking, because it doesn’t seem so. What do they put in the water down there?
he could swim in my pool….anytime

He’s going to put someone’s eye out with those nipples…
He can’t be real! He is SO HOT!!!!
He is beautiful.

his ass is kinda flat… but he is still hot

I think shiny jet-black skin is beautiful. I also think milky-white skin is beautiful. My erotic identity is a big tent.

I like the chest and nipples, and the fuzz on his legs is nice, but the ass shot makes him look too young (underage).
That ass in not hot at all.
I’d hit it :)
