Went to Thermas recently, and here's how it went down for me...
I went there around 8PM on a Tuesday night. There were about 11 rent boys as I was told at the entrance. When I got there, I was looking for bottom boys. Apparently, all that were left were tops. There was one guy who was versatile but he wasn't my type. One of the escorts told me that if I want bottom boys, the time frame for them is from 3PM to 7PM during weekdays. Despite being open 24 hours a day, the availability of bottom boys is limited to 4 hours on a weekday. I guess, the the demand for bottoms is low outside those hours. This leads me to believe that 99% of you who have been harping about Thermas here are bottoms.
Anyway, I wasn't too hurt by not finding a bottom that night, and I left without fucking anyone. Barcelona has a bunch of cruising clubs and saunas, and my needs and wants are thoroughly met. I'm still in Barcelona right now, but I may not pursue Thermas further during this trip because the saunas and cruise clubs here have been awesome for me! Muchas gracias España!

First, why is 24 "extremely low" for you? Is that not enough to choose a masseur?
Second, and perhaps you haven't considered this -- there just might be websites other than RentMasseur that bodywork providers use to advertise in Europe. 
Check out the Destinations > Europe forum to learn more. You've posted and commented there before. 
And you're in Spain right now, right? You've been posting from Europe this week.  So have you asked someone where to find masseurs when RentMasseur isn't enough for you?

I've never used RentMasseur. And I think 24 is extremely low for a city like BCN.

Thank you again for all the great recs. I would totally check Boy Berry.
I’m meeting Leonardo tonight so let’s see if he lives up to the expectation. I will keep you posted. 

Went to SaunaBeach recently on a Friday night for 18 euros, and got there at 11PM. I'm not sure if it was a one off for a Friday night, but I'd say it wasn't the peak time—and from what I was told it's because everyone had just finished their dinners in Spain (yes, it's that late) and would be clubbing (clubs open at 11PM), and more than likely, patrons would trickle in after clubbing (around 4AMish). I got by not knowing Spanish.
One thing that was awesome that Friday night, was they had a "porn performance" from 2:30AM to 3AM (technically Saturday), which made me stay longer. It was great peformance. Two muscled guys in jock strap made out and did stuff in front of the audience. Then 10 minutes later, they interacted with the audience. They literally fucked a couple of the audiences, and the audience would touch and suck them. Audiences are pretty much like your average older joes (albeit, average joes in Europe are better looking than American joes). I'm a top, and unfortunately neither of them were bottoms that night. One got to suck me though. I did suck him and ate his ass out—yes, in front of everyone. Lol. No shame.
Oh, and the porn performers did not have the money shot (ie, cum shot). They literally bounced once it hit 3AM.
And if you're looking for Gay Sauna with paid escorts onsite in Madrid, check out Gran Via Sauna. This is what I was told, but I'm not sure 100% because I never went.  I didn't go to Gran Via because I was getting plenty of action at regular saunas—plus, I enjoy the thrill that the guy I'd be fucking is not paid.
Have fun in Madrid!

Just like anything else in business, it's supply vs demand.

Thank you for the great response. I’ll keep you posted how it goes and will report back. 

When travelling in Australia, my Australian friends would insist that we do not tip in restaurants. Part of this is the real fear that American tipping culture would take hold locally. American's I know typically protest and don't feel they are doing any wrong and part of the tipping process is to make themselves feel good/generous even in places where it really isn't expected. When I have have interacted with locals in Italy, Germany and Spain, they really aren't tipping that much, just a little round up sometimes if you are eating outside of tourist areas that are not frequented by Americans. I usually spy the checks at tables of locals next to us and usually confirm there isn't much tipping (a Euro here and there). And in places like France, some nicer places will say on the bottom of the menu "Service compris" and no tip is expected. 
I find it interesting that so many online "guides" are written by self serving people in the industry who may upcharge what tip is expected. That's why you are seeing American "guides" saying the correct tip at restaurants these days is 20-25% when the average is closer to 18% Tipping average USA Today. Another source at the Motley Fool says the average American tips 15%.
It's a little harder to ask local clients of European providers if they tip (except maybe in this forum) but I suspect that since tipping culture hasn't really penetrated in most aspects of life in European countries (eg hair dressers, delivery, taxis, hotels etc) that it isn't expected in providers either. Of course "it's appreciated", I would be too if someone gave me free money, but the other part of me feels that this is an import of an American custom that ultimately isn't a good thing. My Australian friends say they don't like the custom spreading as it might incentivize employers to pay less since their employees are now getting tipped. Plus we can see the dystopia of tipping culture in the US and want to stop it heading in that direction in our countries. I'm old enough to remember a time that tipping housekeeping in Canadian hotels was not a thing (still isn't in most of Asia). Especially since hotel staff in the big international chain hotels in Canada tend to be unionized with union contracts.

We got a weiner!

I believe the European-American men I have hooked up with have had larger penises.  The European men have had better tongues and fingers, though. 😈

I am pleased to report we have some actual data on this from sources of information who I believe can be trusted
In the context of the United States the average male penis, when erect, is 5.36 inches (around 14 cm). 
Average-Size Erect Penis: Fiction, Fact, and the Need for Counseling - PubMed
PUBMED.NCBI.NLM.NIH.GOV Most men believe that the average length of an erect penis is greater than 6 inches (15.24 cm). This belief is due, in part, to several often-cited studies that relied on self-reported...  
Across the continent of Europe, WorldData.com seem to suggest a figure of between 12 to 15cm (around 5 inches to 6 inches) 
International penis sizes compared
WWW.WORLDDATA.INFO From 10 to 18 cm: The penis size in a country comparison. Are you average?  
Therefore answering the question, there is really not that much difference on average

I am so pleased with him that I wrote another very positive review on his rentmasseur page yesterday:

Your username wins. We can't get any European than you.

Went to Black Beach in San Diego last month. Saw a couple of guys nudes and one was doing a handstand. All of them were not the guys I'd want to see nude.

Well yes, my username exposes me 😃
I think it's for a reason of "pride"? Not sure, I never owned a business there haha. But it's definitely a cultural thing, I guess business owners see it as slightly offensive...
Workers (waiters, the person who washes yr hair in a salon, etc) are usually  tipped, but definitely less than here in the US in percentage
Waiters are paid decently there, they have a monthly salary and not a hourly one, but at restaurants you pay a per person small amount (coperto e servizio)  which partially goes towards the tip for the waiters. Anyway you almost always leave a little tip after the bill for who served you. 
Anyway it would never happen like in the US where if you don't tip you are chased by the owner of the restaurants!

Just this:
ABSOLUTELY NO DEPOSIT
No “Unless”

as the old saying goes: "When in Rome..."

I just edited my response, so it can match your edits.
