sydneyboy reacted to SouthOfTheBorder in Barcelona - Sauna Thermas - It only got better!
some Thermas tips
1. go early - before it gets crowded. Thermas is big and spread across 3 floors - it can be disorienting to arrive when filed with providers & clients. Plus - it’s competitive & the locals/regulars will always go for their favorites who are usually the most in-demand. Arriving when it’s crowded puts you at a disadvantage. I like to arrive at opening about 3p and watch as providers/ clients arrive.
2. get familiar with the layout - because it is confusing. I’d recommend a complete walk-through of the entire place at least once to take note of spa facilities & bar (first floor), all showers (first & second floors). And the one private bathroom on first floor with a douche - the key to that bathroom is at reception and depending on the attendant, they may require you buy an attachment or if you have your own, then a tip to get the key. Return the key asap as there may be others waiting.
3. there will always be guys hanging around the reception area & watching the clients locker room. the game is to snag clients in that area & before they can see the other providers. don’t fall for it.
4. like anywhere else - be cautious if anyone offers you anything to ingest. last time I was there, a provider offered candy between sessions - upon inspection it was potent edible marijuana. there are a couple guys there routinely selling things - I’d avoid them & whatever they have. they are obvious & likely will make an approach at some point.
5. the free cabins are fine for 30 minutes & the staff cleans continuously- but that doesn’t mean you’ll always get a fresh cabin. If you want to make sure it’s clean - then private rooms. Again - getting there early ensures access to private rooms - when it’s crowded you may wait and sometimes they don’t open up at all.
6. you dont need ID to get in - leave passports & valuables in your hotel safe. I carry a set amount of cash, one credit card & phone. I don’t leave those items in the locker - I carry them with me in a small pack at all times. you need cash for the guys - everything else can be on credit card.
7. bring your own condoms & lube. the condoms provided are the most basic & the lube is almost nonexistent. the guys appreciate good quality condoms & it makes a big difference. I like to bring my own antibacterial soap along too - just to be extra careful between sessions. availability of soap in the showers is not a sure thing.
8. if smoking bothers you - avoid the area on the second floor where smokers congregate. for people who smoke, it’s ideal place to engage the guys in a more relaxed environment.
9. don’t be afraid to say no. you will be approached many times by guys who may not be your type. there’s not pressure per se, but they are direct and don’t want to waste time. they are used to no & it’s just part of the environment. polite & firm gets the message across.
10. you will pay for everything at the end & check your final bill carefully. if buying drinks for providers, make sure you are clear at that time what you’re offering. an offer for a drink can easily turn into a full meal - and that’s fine if that is what you’re offering. if spending a few hours there, the charges can add up quickly.
11. don’t be afraid to tell the provider exactly what you want - they’re professionals and have seen it all, several times. no reason to be embarrassed. If there is a language barrier - use google translate or show them a video of the type of scene you want. a video is easiest way to get the clear message across & I’ve seen several clients do it.

This question has been posed before. A mystery.

sydneyboy reacted to ToddH in Barcelona - Sauna Thermas - It only got better!
I went today around 3:30pm. There were several (10-20) guys working and not too many clients. That was interesting because I had my pick. Some guys approached me and one was sort-of over pushy. I chatted with them and they all said the rate is 50 euro. More people came in, both providers and clients, as time went by.
I eventually went with a Brazilian guy named "Alberto" from Fortaleza. Super nice and extremely well equipped. Best 50 euro I've spent so far!

I saw John Adam's "Nixon in China" and I enjoyed it; I know nothing about El Nino. I would have to define myself as (mostly) an old fuddy-duddy since my preference is bel canto rarities.

100% not true as it relates to Thermas, in my experience
the good guys will take almost 95% of clients, but there are always a few clients that stand out as potential problems & the best guys don’t lack for options - they just don’t want to deal with bad people at any price.
The working guys are generally open to all ages, ethnicities, body types & specific requests - it’s a bad attitude that is the deal killer. Because they know a potential client w a bad attitude will never get better, only worse.
There are different types of guys working in the sauna & you will be sorted accordingly. You won’t be aware of it, but that’s what’s happening behind the scenes. Frequently, the clients w bad attitudes get bad experiences….because the guys think that person deserves it and their performance really doesn’t matter.
go with an open mind, reasonable expectations, a good attitude & money - you will find what you want at Thermas.

Perhaps I should have added the difference is about 30 years and 30 kilos.

It’s not a conventional bathhouse of the type you encounter in the United States or Australia. At Thermas there are customers who want sex for money and providers. End of story. As I wrote previously you will have no difficulty differentiating the two.

I’m very confused by all this. If you turn up at 3 in the afternoon on any day of the week is it just business as usual? I was there in July at it was just as it has always been.

He should take Alfredo Kraus as his role model.

sydneyboy reacted to Ali Gator in It’s National Viagra Day (and it has a new side effect)
A recent study has confirmed the findings of earlier research which indicates people who regularly take erectile dysfunction medication—particularly Viagra—have a lower risk of developing Alzheimer’s Disease.
Why the drugs appear to lessen the occurrence of Alzheimer’s is unknown. However, one theory is that the medication increases blood flow to all parts of the body, including the brain.
The results of the latest research appeared in Neurology. Scientists looked at the health records of 269,725 men in the UK. Aged over 40, the average age was 59.
It’s National Viagra Day & a new study has just found an unexpected side effect of the little blue pill
WWW.QUEERTY.COM And why exactly does World Viagra Day fall on March 27...

sydneyboy reacted to jeezifonly in Gurrelieder at the Sydney Opera House
I’m a fan of Simone Young, and thrilled for her success with it! I heard it performed live by the LA Philharmonic (EPS conducting) before they relocated from the Chandler to Disney Hall. Thrilling.
Thanks for the reminder to dig out my CD (Ozawa/BSO, Norman, McCracken, Troyanos)
