CHIberia

When is the next party? Haven't gotten an update since the January one

Has anyone visited recently? I was thinking of doing a trip at the end of February, but between the cold weather and the reno, I’m concerned it will be a bust

Maybe? The guy said he’s been working at Thermas since before the pandemic, and those details sync up with what he said

Just got back from a short work trip. Visited the sauna twice. despite the chilly weather, I’d say about 20+ working boys were there. About 5 were sketchy/pushy, another ten were perfectly fine, but not my type. So I had a solid five each day to choose from and not a lot of patrons… maybe 15 on Sunday, which was their busiest day. Almost everyone was Hispanic, with the exception of a couple Nigerians and a baby faced white twink that looked like Jared Leto in Fight Club, I kid you not. Lots of Brazilians, Venezuelans and some new Colombians. Good times to be had. If you want to book at your hotel, forgo Romeo, literally every guy I tried to hire there flaked out. Just arrange something with one of the sauna boys and stay at TWO, it’sa five minute walk at most, and it’s a genuinely good quality gay hotel for pretty cheap. 24 hour bodega is a few feet away, as is a great egg breakfast place (skip the hotel buffet it’s terrible). Boyberry it’s also next door. Rates go from 50-100 euros depending on what you want, and be very clear beforehand. On a side-note, one of the escorts mentioned there is a gay brothel by the university. I might start a separate thread in that since there is literally no info on this. He said there’s an amazing selection of college boys for very cheap.

Was there last week and one thing I loved about this place is that the dancers are very much not scammers. You tell them two dances, they give you two, and will ask to keep going. Not a hint of shadiness. It's also surprising how much you can get away with despite the rooms being semi-public. Sadly though, there was a dancer named George that's a total hottie that I met back in November, but I haven't seen him there on the two visits I made since, and no one has any info on him.

Never heard of the one in Amsterdam, what is the facility and the boys like? Website is under construction

None of those men were there the days I visited

Days I can’t, I can only say they were open during the weekend from 1-7pm

Has to be Zurich for Paragonya.

I was there last summer and someone was driving around in a gold-plated porsche, lol. Zurich can be insanely wealthy, but as a visitor, I managed to stay at Sorel Rutli for a decent price, which was a three minute walk to Paragonya, and kept expenses down by eating street food around Paragonya, which is still expensive but not as bad as sitting down in a restaurant, having the complimentary breakfast in the hotel, and taking public transport, which was extremely reliable and accessible. The zoo, museums and parks were all free or very inexpensive.

Update: just got back from London, and while the host was super friendly, things didn't go so smoothly. I had reached out a couple days before to get some portfolio emailed for a hotel visit, but never heard back. Thought I'd stop by, so I called ahead, and they told me they closed at 7, so I showed up around 5:30. The host was super friendly, but all the boys were leaving for the night. He suggested stopping by earlier in the day tomorrow, and he went through some photos if I wanted to schedule tonight. About half were Brazilian, and there was a Dutch guy, an Italian, a Spaniard, a Romanian and a Russian. The Russian was my favorite, cute twunky type. He told me he'd reach out and let me know about that night, but I never heard back. So that day was a bust. I stopped by around 3pm the next day, he said the Russian would be available potentially that night. I asked about just doing an appointment while I was there. He did the two-way mirror thing and there were only three guys were there and they were really... rough. They looked like migrant twinks that weren't eating well and came straight off the street. It was a pretty depressing. I politely declined, saying they weren't really my type. The host acknowledged that winters had slim-pickings. I ended up not scheduling that night either. The effort was there, and the interactions were extremely friendly, but it simply didn't work out. I'll probably be back in the spring, so hopefully things turn around.

I reached out to them by email yesterday for a trip I have this weekend. Unfortunately I haven’t heard back yet, but if I make it I’ll try to update anyone. If anyone knows a better way to get a hold of them lemme know

Hi all, I haven’t been able to find any updated info on the strip club scene in Mexico City, so I thought I’d start a thread. Any info would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Just a little update. Staying the night in ftl for work so I stopped by Boardwalk tonight around 11pm. Pretty dead. A couple of customers in the patio and another inside. Saw about a half dozen beefy smooth Latino guys, mostly in their thirties, the kind that are big without any definition. If that’s your type you’ll be very satisfied with the eye candy. The interaction? Not so much. José, a classically handsome older guy approached me and he was very aggressive and persistent. He gave all sorts of quotes in his haste for the service he promised. He did deliver on it, but the price doubled. Since I was early, there was no door check to the private rooms. But he “heard voices” in the area and said his manager will expect him to pay out $40. I just kept walking. He wasn’t threatening, but boy, what a scammer! He then started to plea “they have cameras!” I sat back at the bar and said I didn’t see any. He then pulled out the scanner sitting on the desk and said “look!” I told him it wasn’t a camera. He then started pleading with the bartender in Spanish (which I understood, which was basically asking if the manager was here). I gave him the $40 to just make it end and vowed to not come back. I finished my drink (not before every remaining dancer caught wind and made their own attempts, almost forming a line). Couldn’t finish that drink fast enough, lol. Just wanted to reiterate that I never felt unsafe, but I was definitely hustled. Luckily it wasn’t too much. Gonna try Johnson’s next and post on that thread.

Oh crap I remember browsing that maybe 10 years ago when I was just out of college and planning a trip to Barcelona. Can't believe the site looks exactly the same, lol. I remember it was well-regarded back then.

Hey all. I'm heading to Berlin in a week and was wondering if anyone can share their experience with the current scene, eg saunas, hustler bars, must-visit clubs, escorts etc. I understand there are still a couple of hustler bars open, but they might be unsafe? Any help would be nice, and of course, I'll share my experience.

Small correction on my post: you CAN visit the bar at the original Axel, which is considered a must-go, even if you are NOT staying there. As far as the other Axel (TWO), I'm not familiar with anything worth visiting.

The Axels are more expensive and has smaller rooms compared to equivalent hotels, but it is adults only, 18+ themed and it has what is considered one of the best gay bars in the world (which you cant go to without being a guest iirc). Really any hotel in Eixample is best: that area is colloquially known as "Gayxample," and is centrally located from all the touristy stuff, and the hustler sauna would be within walking distance. The only things that will require drives are the beach, the airport and some of the famous architecture. I'd go with whatever hotel is the best deal with the best rating at the booking dates based on online reviews. There are so many hotels in the area it's hard to single one out, and they're all pretty similar. Just note that most will card any rentboy you bring back.

If there are any enterprising folks, I'd be willing to partner up and get things going in Chicago.

Oh shit I think I knew him. around 5'8", blonde, gymnast build? I actually knew him from outside Remington's. I believe he has an identical twin brother that lives in Florida, if it is who I think it is (I think he was taking college classes with an ex of mine iirc). He was very secretive around the issue, but he lost a lot of his build very quickly and always wore a big ski cap. Friends would joke around and try to take it off and he would get really sensitive about it. Suddenly, he just fell off the face of the Earth. There was a rumor that he had a brain tumor, but I never got confirmation. He was a casual acquaintance, so I never followed-up, unfortunately.

Thanks for the writeup. How would you rate your overall experience compared to the old Remingtons?

OK I'm out of the loop, where is "over there?"

It looks like it starts at $35USD, I think that's monthly. But it can go up to almost $100USD https://rent.men/about/prices

Can you elaborate? I'm not familiar with daddy saunas. Thanks.

Middle eastern guy here. Visited Turkey multiple times. Can confirm all this. If you want to visit an openly liberal and safe Muslim country, Albania is beautiful.
