polythome

Not sure the room adds much but they tend to be better lit and bigger. I think for most one-on-one's, going to the usual rooms is ok for most. If doing a threesome, you definitely want more space.

I'll often google to see if porn stars escort. I just did that with Calvin Banks after seeing his video on the "Hottest Massage Video" thread.

Ask for what you want.
That’s the best way.

I'll pitch in an update: was at Thermas last month (June)
If you pay close attention, you'll see both old faces and some influx of new faces (many either new to Barcelona or are just traveling around). Boys are predominantly Latinos with a couple of Moroccans and Africans (3-4) and David (the lone local). I heard a couple of providers speaking in American accent but not sure if they're regular or just wanting quick cash while traveling.
Days of the Week: Wednesday and Saturday are still the busiest and the time window is still 4-8. Thurs and Fri are ok but not heavy traffic days - which means if your favorites are there (which is a big if), the higher chance of you finding time with them; but also a higher chance of others who haven't done business approaching. By around 5:30-6:00, they will find you - you can't hide.
(Tip: Stay in the dry sauna — most of them don't like the heat but also they respect the sales process and won't swarm. You'll have the chance to survey them and their goodies one at a time)
 
Who's Missing: Previous crowd favorite Nicolas was no where to be found.
 
Some call outs:
Pedro (Brazil): wears a baseball cap backwards, total fuckboi vibes with a "Brazilian big" (size XXL). Didn't try but he doesn't look like someone who goes slow or gentle and who's only top. He has a clear market though.
Christian (Colombian): cute, young and with youthful intensity in everything he does (kissing, oral, fucking). Has a friend Juan - they apparently do threesomes (not sure if I've met this Juan but this is one thing to try in the future). I'm guessing he's vers, size - L
Eduardo (Brazil): cute, smallish/ twinkish, great oral skills, nice plump lips: he said he's vers-top but I'm not convinced, size - M/L
Dylan (Colombian): fun, friendly, horny, no issues getting hard, he did approach me in the sauna, above average oral skills, size - L/XL
David (Barcelona guy): great skills all-around and a good "opener" if you are planning a multi -boy session; I had a session with him way before, size - L
Mike (Venezuelan): new, vers vibes, great massage skills, sweet kisser, size - L
Angelo (Venezuelan): already mentioned previously in this thread; size - XL
Marcos (Colombian): cute, friendly but haven't done a session with him yet
 
Several other guys who I'd love to meet, catalog and assess size and skills. There's one really built guy with a sleeve tattoo (only showed up Saturday) who was giving major BDE. And another guy with a thick but shaved beard who was also wearing a backwards cap - he was cute, and maybe my specific type. My pursuit of him lead to the discovery of Pedro (above) - it's dark, hard to find guys without identifying features. This makes finding guys at Thermas feel like a scavenger hunt — a sexy, scavenger hunt 😛.
 
There's a hot Colombian guy mentioned in threads before who doesn't wear a towel like everyone else and is supposed to be cocky. I've only seen one such guy on a Friday (green shorts) and he was not that hot.
 
Like most "free markets", there's a clear tier of guys that are quite popular and who have regulars that they're rarely on standby - those guys may tend to leave earlier too during slow days.
 
Rates: 50 - ask if you will but I think it's a universally implied assumption (I've been there for multiple consecutive days and never got up charged); if you want them to cum this shoots up to 100 (some will talk you down to 80). If you have good oral skills, it could be fun to see if you can get them to shoot anyway 😛. It almost happened with one of the guys named above 😆.
 
 
Ask: if you end up going, feel free to add to/ amend this list -- it would be good enrich the catalogue of info.
 

On the ground info (public service) for Budapest:

Sauna 69 - It feels small but the reviews are correct, the demographic leans "younger" (<40, maybe even <30) relative to most saunas. That's not necessarily a bad thing. The steam room has weak steam but has a subtle herbal smell to it and sees a lot of action, especially in the darker area. The sauna functions like a sauna (i.e. hot) but so far, not much action. The jacuzzi is tepid and not warm at all -- it acts as like a public meet-and-greet/flirty area or like a hanging out with the bros zone. Some of the locals who come seem like they know each other. There's a very promising large dark room area with a complex labyrinth, glory holes, private room and the works (TBD on what this looks like on the weekend when supposedly the place fills up to 100 people).

Tuesday - I got in like 2 hours before closing and there were still around 12 people. The vibes were cruisy in a "closing time" kind of way. On separate occasions, I got pulled in by two guys for some action in the private rooms - one was a hot guy who wouldn't finish (I wonder who he's saving it for :D). Got to chat a bit with the locals in the sauna on recommendations (one of whom said it's worth checking Magnum, see below).

Wednesday - I got in like 6ish, it felt like the place was peaking to around 20ish people. There were definitely locals who kinda knew each other who were dry humping in the jacuzzi while everyone was cruising. I booked a massage which was decent, great value and very relaxing (the masseur was an older gentleman who had great technique). My stay peaked when a critical number of people went to the dark part of the steam room (around 6 is the magic number :D), legs started touching and action started happening. It was hot. Eventually, the dry humping jacuzzi locals came in and started their own tangle (there were 4 or 5 of them). Then it got hotter. Very keen to see what this would look like on the weekend. 

The attendants are quite nice and very funny and helpful. This place feels welcoming for travelers and locals alike. If the place was somewhat empty and had no action, I could at least see myself lounging, having a drink and enjoying the dry sauna.

Magnum - This definitely feels larger than Sauna 69 but less clean and has quite a few smelly areas. In general, almost everywhere feels too dark, dank and moist. The steam room is smelly. The multiple saunas are nice, functional (i.e. hot) but again, not much action. The jacuzzi is in quite a central location. Also, the reviews are correct, the demographic definitely leans older and other than the occasionally lost Asian tourist wearing glasses, no one seems to be clearly younger than 30. There were more people relative to Sauna 69 and I definitely think some action is happening in the private rooms but over-all I didn't feel comfortable given the dark vibes and smelly parts. After one lap and a long shower, I left.

They have two naked nights happening per week (Friday, Sunday) but I think I'm gonna stick to Sauna 69.

Agree, Casanova is empty and disgusting. Best sched is hit Thermas between 4-7, get dinner and just find alternative evening entertainment.

Highly recommend: David (I think the only provider who's from Barcelona) and Nicholas (from Chile)

I have a similar policy but with one difference.  First time escorts get paid at the end.  It's an anti-theft measure.  Regular escorts can get paid up front, because they have more trust with the client.

99% of the time I've paid upon arrival, I've always had a problem. They either finish early, rush the session or can't perform. At this point, it's a huge red flag.
When they say that they have had clients not pay them in the past, that's an indication that they don't provide the services they were hired for and people left unhappy. Now, if they insist on being paid in advance, I just leave.
And that 1% of the time when I didn't have a problem, it was just awkward because he asked when we were both naked in bed when things were just starting to heat up - insanely bad timing! Other than not kissing when he said he would, he did everything else that he had promised.
I think it's an "industry standard" to pay at the end. Anything else is a red flag.

Providers who ask for payment upfront are usually the ones who deliver a subpar experience and/or cut the session short.

Oddly enough, I get annoyed when they don’t seem to want to leave when the time is up. I’ve had a few who want to talk for an hour afterward when all I want to do is go to bed!

When they act like they're "better" than you simply because they're younger and sexier.
On the rare occasions that's happened, I've shot back with questions on how financially secure they are.

Interesting question.  Split attention (cellphones) is a biggie that’s well-covered here so I won’t elaborate.  For me, the biggest thing that pisses me off is a provider who advertises massage, doesn’t know a thing about massage, and spends five minutes pretending he’s giving a massage before grabbing my dick and acting completely incredulous when I try to slow him down because I really do want a massage.  I also hate it when I see a new provider who doesn’t know what I want, doesn’t take the time to ask, and greets me curtly, saying only “get undressed and get on the table” before charging into his set routine.  The best massage providers communicate, know what they’re doing, and intersperse therapeutic massage elements with erotic ones, taking care of my muscular kinks and stresses while at the same time keeping me aroused and anticipating what may happen next.  I should add that, so far, I’ve only hired for massage, so I haven’t taken the plunge into the full Rentmen experience.

I’ll speak strictly as a client—so I defer to the professionals who actually do this for a living, but I’ll say this: If you’re offering a service, especially one where people are paying you for your time, body, and energy, then you need to communicate why someone should choose you.
Right now, this reads more like a fantasy than a business. You mention being turned on by the idea of getting paid, but from a client’s perspective, that doesn’t tell me what I’m getting in return. What makes you good at this? What’s your style, your vibe, your niche? Is it sensual, therapeutic, deep-tissue, connection-based? Are you intuitive, strong-handed, good with nervous clients? Etc.
This might be a side hustle for you, but to a client spending real money, it’s not a side experience. So if you’re serious, advertise with intention. Let us know what makes you worth booking—beyond the fact that you enjoy it.

I know a guy who just does it through word of mouth. He's really doing it for the sex not the money though.

My friend used to call these guys 'dead tunas'.  He would hire a hot guy, and the experience would go just as you described. He would say, 'It was like having a dead tuna in my bed.' 
I've had a number of incredibly hot escorts like this, and honestly, I don't mind it (usually they identify as straight or 'no speak English'). They are in it for the physical aspect, not the emotional / oral communication between two people - fine with me.
If they just want to lie back and let me pleasure them and enjoy them, I find it erotic in its own way. They're all mine for an hour and I can explore every inch of their body as I please. Verbal communication is brief, but their physical communication is sexy - seeing them lie ther with their head on the pillow and their eyes are closed, but their smile and 'moans and groans' really say so much. Then they will take my head in their hands and 'guide my head' where they want me to 'work on them' (their pecks, their nipples, their dick and balls). At that point, I like to reach up and feel their muscled arms while they're holding my head. That's communication to me. As we're finishing, I guide those hands to my dick to let them know I'm ready - and watching those muscled arms jerking me off sends me over the top.

wow his ass is amazing! what is this from?

Prague 2 weeks now and two more to go. Swamped with my friends and regulars but some updates: 
The 23 year-old "new" pack:
Simon Best (Kyle Veno on Romeo) and Adrian Serdar both have possessive long term girlfriends now and are catch as catch can. Simon will be a father in 8 months. Bruce Harrelson's ad is stuck in Frankfurt with travel canceled. He has a company doing his OnlyFans so they may be pushing the ad as a come-on to subscribers or he may have gotten caught up in the Frankfurt chem sex porn scene. I noticed two new photos on his ad in a new bed so maybe he'll do porn there. He has a German phone number. 
Pavel has been in Rome for two weeks and will visit here for a few days then off to work trips to Amsterdam and Paris. 
DanielPRG has been in Berlin for a week.
Tomas the bodybuilder is working German towns.
No word still on Tomisek who must have found a lover in Switzerland or Germany. 
I've gone to Up/Down a couple times and it's still dreary in Down but Up is getting better. They have popular outside sidewalk tables now and stay open later than before. Last night Up had a couple very nice guys walk in together while there were also a couple annoying street types. Couldn't stay as i had company coming. 
Besides so many working other cities now and some getting into coupling, there are a few newish guys. The below brand new ad who really seems new and no reviews, the massage with benefits guy well reviewed and  the unreliable  one

Were they hot cops? 😛

I recommend Nicholas then Angelo, not the other way around 😛 #iykyk

He's very tall and cute. A gentle giant that kisses really well. 
I also heartily recommend Nicholas! He's an absolute gem. 

Yesterday I had a relaxing session with Eric, a handsome versatile 25-year-old Brazilian.
The manager told me that Villa Gianni is open 24 hours a day for bookings. It is open 1 to 8 pm daily for walk-ins. Sessions cost 160 pounds. He told me to contact him at [email protected]. 
 

If you get to meet either Nicholas or Angelo you are in for a wonderful time!

Agree, Casanova is empty and disgusting. Best sched is hit Thermas between 4-7, get dinner and just find alternative evening entertainment.

Highly recommend: David (I think the only provider who's from Barcelona) and Nicholas (from Chile)

Nicholas is amazing, my only regret is I should've asked if he was verse. Turns out he is.I didn't hire David which a shame because I just finished with Nicholas and he started to become loud later, I think he was arguing with someone.
I also had Colombian Dylan damn I still got chills hitting my prostate. I even ask for his number. Unfortunately he wasn't available on Saturday.
