Have been in Barcelona for a few days and leaving tomorrow. Hadn’t been to Thermas on a Wednesday before, and can confirm that it is a very busy night. I’d already arranged to see Angelo there on Thursday, but he now works there Wednesday as it’s so busy. 
Thursday was quieter, but not hugely so. Friday was as busy as Wednesday, but the sauna was closing at 7 for a private party. When I asked Angelo what this was he said that it happens occasionally, and that this time it was for a lesbian party. 
Hoping to enjoy more fun tonight with some familiar faces but some new finds this time include Alex from Colombia (quite short but not where it counts), and Gabriel from Brazil (glasses with a sleeve tattoo on left arm-not into tattoos but it suits him).

Went to Exxxtreme last night. Well, it was in their club downstairs, Conexxxion. Literally hundreds of men. Incredible place. Sex everywhere. Porn star performance on large circular table. Plenty of audience interaction. Welcoming, safe place. 

So my trip finished. I went to Thermas for three days Tue, Wed, and Thu in the hot week of July 2026. 3/4pm to 7/8pm.
In terms of being busy, Tuesday was the most quiet, but still had a decent selection of good-looking providers. At 5-6pm there were around 15-20 providers and the same number of clients. Wednesday was by far the most crowded day among these days, with multiple hot providers to choose from. Easily 30+ providers. Many clients too. Thursday was better than Tuesday, but cannot be as busy and bustling as Wednesday. 
In terms of the providers, I was pleasantly surprised! they are absolutely gorgeous! A lot of them are very fit or muscular, masculine horny young men parading around talking to clients and showing off their impressive "manhood". No feminine providers . Most of them have nice long thick fat gorgeous manhood that can get hard within split second! They're quite easy going . Some would go around flashing or swinging their manhood. Some would give you a little preview of it. Some would let you touch and rub it. Basically look, touch, and try before anything further is the best thing in here that the traditional platforms like RMen or Hqz can't offer. I've met so many guys on RM that were essentially catfishes or couldn't get hard (or maybe I wasn't attractive enough who knows) etc. I was able to avoid all these problems visiting here.
Some memorable booking experiences. I booked one super sexy fit Venezuelan / Dominican guy whose face somewhat bears a resemblance to Wentworth Miller - only more handsome IMO, and whose passion and force in our session was borderline aggressive. I appreciated his style, I had no problem with it, but he may run into trouble with other clients for it. Couldn't give him advice as I don't know any word he speaks. Then there was another super muscular Brazillian gentleman with thick shouders , pecs and a big thick fat tool. Still got horny thinking about how heavenly it felt sticking your mouth on his mountain of pecs and nipples. 
An overwhelming majority of providers are Latinos (Brazil, Venezuela, Dominican Republic). Some are black. Didn't see any local Barcelonian providers. If you were primarily looking for white Caucasian men / daddies / bears, you'd be disappointed. This is Tue Wed Thu, not sure about weekends. During my three days I only saw 1. one tall Russian gentleman that I booked a session once. He has very slim body with beautiful face, foxy mesmerising eyes and gorgeous hair (think David Gandy but slimmer) - totally can be a cover model for any magazines or shows. 2. One middle-aged Romanian who's probably drug addicted. and 3. two sexy Greek providers with big tools who are Hispanic not scandinavian white. Clients, however, are predominantly Caucasians aged 60+, probably not the Caucasians you'd be looking for. Occassionally there's a client or two worth landing your eyes on, but that's about it.
Pricing-wise, I never asked the providers how much they'd charge, but I followed the advice here and proposed either 50 or 60 EUR for a session. In total I had fun with approx 7 providers there and they accepted this pricing instantly - no one ever asked for more. Very good price for intimate service.
In terms of cleanliness, Thermas doesn't disappoint. Staff regularly cleaned the rooms and bathrooms.
Looking into future, sincerely hope Thermas will always be there for people to come and enjoy the excellent service of gorgeous men especially those from Latin or African backgrounds. But to me its existence is not without a threat. Most independent escorts in Barcelona knows about Thermas and while Thermas has kept their pricing down to more competive levels, I don't think they are very happy with it and some may have reported it already...
Can't wait to visit Thermas next year for a full week!

LOL. I had a feeling someone was going to ask me to expand on the Campus once I mentioned it! I was going to save that for another day, but oh well... since you asked, and I'm still up, I'll tell you about that place.
The Campus was in a seedier area of San Francisco, not nearly as polished or clean like the Nob. (I think it was called the Tenderloin.) But it had a great group of young strippers, all kinds, and lots more excitement to be had.
The Campus had three floors, the top being for strippers only... then the main floor with a theater and stage structurally like the Nob (but again, no velvet curtains or its far more comfy chairs)... as well as a hallway in front and the stripper schedule on a board next to photos of each stripper, plus the ticket booth in the very front... and then a basement that had, among other things, a small maze, an arena where they had other smaller (but more intimate) shows, and a shower room with a wooden door and a latch and a shower that likely didn't work, lol. 
Most of the fun was to be had in the arena and the shower room. The arena was constructed with perhaps 3-4 wooden steps in a semi-circle, where you can sit on the step or climb it to get to the next... and a small open area on the floor in the center and in the front. Strippers would strip in the small area in front, then go guy to guy in the arena, where you'd see many of the patrons giving the strippers blowjobs right there, one after another. Tempting as it may have been, that's a little too risque for me... not to mention, I was still relatively inexperienced back then, my Nob Hill "education" notwithstanding. But it was definitely hot to watch. Sometimes, the stripper would play with your cock too if you had it out in the open, something that, at that point, I was very comfortable in doing.
The shower room was on the other side, with some sofas outside of it. You'd wait your turn, though guys often stood next to the door to the shower room as it didn't close fully, so you could sometimes see what was going on through the slight opening, giving the whole experience some extra voyeuristic heat. As I recall it was $10 then, which you'd give to the stripper when it was your turn in the shower room, and you'd get maybe five minutes for some private interaction. At the very least, he'd jack you, but you could suck him, a few might suck you, and sometimes you could really get into a hot kissing scene too. I remember a couple really cute strippers I enjoyed interacting with, including one Latin kid, my age, who was really attractive and had that smile that always gets me... and was an amazing kisser. An instant crush for me. I saw him a couple times when I visited across some months, and he would recognize me and smile as he took me into his arms and began making out with me like a long-lost lover each time.
What made the Campus even more fun is that they later added what everyone of course hoped for: two-man shows a couple times daily, a five-man show on weekends, and then four times a year, a 20-man show... that weren't so much strip shows as they were all-out sex shows.
So for the two-man shows, which took place in the arena, the two strippers would start by stripping, making out with each other, blowing each other while everyone watched; then they'd go guy to guy and offer their cocks for each guy to play with and/or suck. Patrons would be jacking openly, and everyone would be celebrating male camaraderie at its finest and having a grand old time.
Now that I was several months into my strip club adventures, and a bit more experienced (but still never had a boyfriend and was closeted in my own life at that point), I welcomed the boundaries getting pushed, as new excitement kept everything so thrilling. So when I heard about the 20-man shows, that same nervous sexual adrenaline rush built within me instantly, and I knew I had to go experience that.
Thankfully, I got to the Campus early enough because they sold-out shortly after. It would've been a massive bummer to have flown to SF only to not be able to enter! The place was packed.
I think the show was around 8pm, so as the start time approached, everyone made their way to the main theater. It was always a bit awkward grabbing a seat between two guys you don't know—especially as they’re likely going to be jacking off next to you as you may be doing too—but most guys were pretty respectful, keeping their hands to themselves unless otherwise invited. I don’t remember the guy to my left, but I do remember the guy to my right who was relatively cute, Latin or maybe Middle Eastern, probably a bit younger than me. He sorta reminded me of myself when I first began as he seemed excited but tentative, keeping his pants zipped at this point in time.... as did I when the show began. That said, it didn't take long for me to see my neighbor rubbing himself through his pants, and I wondered if he'd be able to resist pulling his dick out like the rest of us. Time would tell. 
So, the way the 20-man show worked is that the announcer would introduce 5 strippers at a time. They'd come out on stage, strip, start jacking, and then kiss and/or go down on each other on the stage.
Cocks everywhere in the audience would be getting pulled out as you could feel the sexual heat in the room rising as if the physical temperature were literally getting hotter. Like I said, by this point in my journey, I had no hesitation pulling my dick out too, but I was conscious of the kid next to me who didn't yet pull his out... so I didn't whip mine out yet either, hard as we both obviously were.
After a handful of minutes, the five strippers on stage would start making their way into the audience, many of whom would openly suck the strippers' cocks, while strippers made out with each other, or played with the audience's cocks as well or sucked each's cocks in rows with the audience or in the aisles. And then the next group of five would be introduced and come out, and proceed to strip and have sex with each other on stage. Then, they'd join the other five in the audience as the next five came out, and this would continue until all twenty horny, naked, erect strippers were everywhere amongst the audience, most of whom were openly jacking. It was as crazy as it was so hot to be a part of.
What was fantastic is that unlike my early days at the Nob (as described above), when I'd wait for one stripper to make his way through dozens of guys to get to me, at the 20-man show I literally had a stripper in front of me or within an arm’s reach more often than not for most of the show.
Still, it wasn't until a group of five strippers came out with my Latin crush in it that my heart started pounding even faster. I was curious how eagerly he'd have sex with the other strippers, as I never saw him interact with others. On stage, he got blown by one of them, but seemed to be going through the motions (or so I imagined, as I really wanted to believe that I was the one he truly wanted lol....).
Meanwhile, other strippers would give me and my buddy to my right lap dances, and we’d be stroking cock after cock after cock.... while everyone was just having the hottest time with the music pulsating. And the strippers clearly loved the attention... and the sex. But all this was a blur, for my eyes were really focused on two people: My neighbor to my right and my Latin crush.
I kept checking out my young neighbor who was really excited and loving feeling all the guys and stroking them, and he kept checking me out too. It’s like we were thinking the same thing, wondering who would be first.
Finally, as we looked at each other, I decided to be more of a mentor (lol--I still was in the closet!), and took the first step of pulling my dick out, loving that he was watching me as I did... at which point, he immediately unzipped and pulled his cock out too as he watched me watch him. I loved how aware we were of each other's cock-visibility status, lol, and how we were clearly having fun together.
Plus, that made the strippers even more interactive with us, as they'd play with both our dicks. And we also got a lot more love from the strippers likely due to our age. I remember one stripper asking us if we were boyfriends, lol. Even though we said no, he urged us to play with each other, so we stroked each other, which seemed to please the stripper as he told us it was hot and invited us to stroke him too, which we did together.
Finally, my stripper crush, the Latin kid I love kissing, made his way to me and flashed that engaging smile of his I loved, and sat on my lap and immediately started making out with me passionately. I remember my new friend next to me watching us (I imagined with envy), which I really loved, and at one point my friend reached over and jacked my crush as well. I was okay sharing my crush with my new friend lol, but I wouldn’t have liked it if someone else did that uninvited! Still, my crush kept his tongue firmly in my mouth, and I hadn't seen him kissing anyone else... so I felt special, in my own imagination at least!
Meanwhile, another stripper joined the three of us and stood before my new friend, and egged my crush to give his cock some attention. So my crush turned and proceeded to suck the stripper right in front of our faces while still seated on my lap. I have to confess, I felt a pang of jealousy watching my future husband sucking this stripper's cock. At a certain point, my crush motioned for me to join him and taste his friend's cock with him, which was thoughtful, but while I made an exception for mouth-to-mouth action with my crush and sorta loved the idea of both our mouths on a cock together, I couldn't help but think of all the other patrons' mouths that were likely wrapped around that stripper's cock in the minutes before….
So instead, I said I thought my friend to my right was feeling left out, at which point this once seemingly shy tentative kid next to me eagerly took that stripper's entire cock in his mouth, giving him an impressively deep and passionate blowjob, while my crush proceeded to kiss me more and rub his hard dick against mine.
Alas, all good things come to an end, and my crush had to move on to the others but whispered to me to find him afterwards, parting with the sweetest smile. 
This was one of the hottest events I had ever attended at these clubs. Everyone was having a great time. Cum started flying all about as some of the strippers exploded in aisles and guys in the audience had orgasms, shooting loads onto back of seats or wherever. And my new friend couldn't hold back any more and finally came in his seat. He quickly zipped up and left (it was a short friendship lol), and not long afterwards, the show came to an end, at which point some of the strippers went downstairs to continue working for tips.
I hadn't yet cum and went to find my crush, who was downstairs already and immediately upon seeing me pulled me to the side of the arena and started kissing me in front of everyone. He then unzipped me and pulled my pants down and started sucking me as patrons and other strippers jacked off watching us if not cheering us on. I remember he'd stand up again to make out with me some more, then go back to sucking my cock. We both finally came together, at which point I think we even got some applause lol. That was the last time I saw my crush. He was a hot time all on his own, but with the 20-man show this was definitely one of the hottest times I'll ever have.
Man, I wish I could relive these experiences somewhere, some day again!
 
I did see clips of patrons getting it on with strippers at a strip club in Mexico called Cabinas Funny. It reminds me a lot of the Campus, though it's even smaller. Still, it's hot; the patrons aren't bad-looking either. But much as I would love to relive this experience one more time by going there, the fact they're on the Internet without their faces blurred in most videos confirms, unfortunately, that just isn't going to happen. But the clips sure make a visit tempting.
So, hot massage parlors are probably my limitation for now, for illicit as the fun can be, at least we can be more discreet there.
 
Hey, @Claym, I hope I didn't let you down with the read.

Anyone met this beautiful guy?

Plenty busy on a Friday evening. Enrico from Colombia a new find, and very good, Some eastern Europeans quite pushy and persistent, but if you stand firm they back off. 
Sorry--as always, Angelo is a wonder.

$500 for an hour so out of my league but good luck to anyone who can 👍

Haven’t seen Nicholas there in a long time. 
Angelo still going strong!

Can totally recommend Diego. Loads of reviews and based on my experience they are completely accurate.

Was just in Thailand for a few weeks and hung out in Bangkok and Pattaya.  Couple of notes from the trip:
 
Bangkok  - Si Lom gayborhood still kicking really well.  3 different streets of clubs that have multiple clubs with strippers and erotic shows.
Jupiter 2018 - Expensive to enter but had model quality guys and the best shows. 
Dream Boys - big stage with larger shows.  About 20 guys more college jock like
Hot Boys - average joes to more skinny type 
Fresh Boys - another set of average Joe twinks 
Banana Room - open later than all there others, good for mix of shows strippers/drag queens.  Variety of husky guys
TaWan Club - beefy guys 
Most clubs are $400-$500 baht to enter $12-$15 usd and includes ones drink.  To take a boy out of the club it's $500 baht to the club and $2500 baht to the guy ($80 usd) .  they do negotiate as the night gets later.
Massage - Prince Mens Spa - high end spa with all males. $2500 baht gets you an hour massage (really good) and whatever more you want. Choose your guy from about 30 behind a glass wall.  The associate will be happy to talk about the different features of each masseur using a laser pointer. 
Arena - used to be amazing, seems like it's not getting the foot traffic or guys it used to.  Stopped in twice but no one of interest to get a massage from. 
Pattaya, Thailand - Still a hot mess of a city.  2 different gayborhoods. 
Boyztown - still has 5 bars with dancers and shows.  Boyz Boyz Boyz was the craziest, however the guys are more average Joe college age, not totally jock like I go for,
Jomtein - has about 12 bars on the same street.  Plenty of strippers mixed in but more on the twink and fem side.  Prices are the same as Bangkok.
 
 

So @12is12 some answers from me. But I will first admit that my “method” is totally subjective and has worked for me. It doesn’t work for other folks - some pay more, some pay less. I have my fun and if I don’t, then I move on and look forward to finding a muscleman to worship another day.
Of the two guys that kept me busy, one knew me well from a previous visit.  He is probably the closest thing to a bodybuilder in the bars at the time (I was there the weekend before Thanksgiving this visit). We had done a few private dances on the previous visit to PV and he knew me to be a very supportive patron inside and outside of the club - even after returning to the States. So, we have history.
The second was a young dancer that was new to me, although he said he had danced in PV for three years now but only for visits (he live in CDMX) for 3-4 weeks at a time.  He was young, adorable, muscular, and liked to flex so I was smitten. I noticed and then he started pointing out, that he did not typically spend a lot of time with individual patrons but usually liked to just keep getting up on the bar to dance and then make rounds to collect tips.  But that night he kept coming back to me cause we “got along” and for some reason he enjoyed me.  I am normally pretty respectful, asking before I touch anything private but once I have a green light, I enjoy the access.
My “method” in PV is that I tip in USD and I come with plenty of $1 and $5 bills.  I typically just keep slipping dollar bills in over and over. But because i know how much I bring i know I didn’t spend more than about $75 each on the two guys over the course of that few hours. I didn’t do any privates that night because I had spent plenty in other bars and was thinking I might enjoy more on Sunday.  
I did go back the next night and repeated as much, adding a couple of other guys into the rotation since the first (bigger) guy had another patron that was enjoying his company as well. So on the second night he jut came back and forth between me and his other patron.
Unlike other patrons and even members of this board, I do not typically do anything to sexual in public in PV. I will grope a penis and play with their erections, but I do not usually suck in public. I’ll kiss but not many dancers do that in public. I will suck in the private room and I have normally negotiated that with the dancer before going down there so i know what I can and can’t do before we ever get into the room. I would suggest you do as much so you’re not wasting your time talking when the clock is running…
This last visit I stayed at Hotel Eloisa which was nice and extremely convenient. One block off the beach, on the same street and two blocks down from these bars. My only issue is they, like other hotels, are very particular about allowing guests to your room.  Which in my brain is bullshit! I have also stayed in AirBnBs and while I loved the freedom of the coming and going, i would say choose well for location and convenience. 
As for the tipping for the stage shows, i just give them $1 and tell them thanks and then go back to the man that I am worshipping at the time.  The performers typically don’t linger out of respect for the dancer that I am engaging at the time.  Some of them try to come back by and get in for more tips since they can see that i am continuously stuffing dollar bills but if I am with someone I’m enjoying, I don’t even let them catch my eye so they have no reason to believe that I am going to pause and invite them in for the playtime…
Hope this helps and I’m happy to answer any questions you have. Happy worshipping!!!

Really helpful.  Thank you!

Here's a sample of my during opportunities in Puerto Vallarta this week: 
Hired: 
1. Massage, which included bareback fucking.  Paid 3000 pesos ($165 US)
2. Massage only.  Paid 900 pesos ($50 US).  Masseur asked if I wanted to suck his cock for 3500 pesos, I told him no thank you.  Then he asked if I wanted a happy ending for 2500 pesos, I told him no thank you. 
3.  2 hour massage and escort outcall.  Paid 3000 pesos ($165 US).  He reached out to me on Grindr 3 years ago, and I see him once or twice every visit. 
4.  1 hour escort with a stripper from Wet Dreams at my hotel.  Paid 2000 pesos ($110 US), plus Uber each way (150 pesos each way).  Included lots of kissing, oral, and bareback fucking.  He reached out to me on Grindr after seeing me in the Wet Dreams strip club. 
Turned down: 
A stripper at Wet Dreams wants 6000 pesos ($330 US) to come to my hotel, and a stripper from 69 wants 8000 pesos ($440 US) to come to my hotel.  Just to give you an idea of the price ranges out there.
In summary: my best hires have been men who reached out to me on Grindr.  I found a few others at massage parlors or strip clubs, but have turned down more offers than I've accepted at these places.

I went back to 69 on Wednesday night, after visiting the shower shows again at Wet Dreams next door.  I like the slower Wednesday night compared to Saturday.  There was room to sit, and a dancer paid good attention to me for several hours.  Lots of hot men at 69, and they were a little less pushy than the men at Wet Dreams.
I avoided the private rooms tonight.  But I had plenty of non-private fun on the couch with a dancer on my arm/lap.

Tonight I popped into Wet Dreams.  It was much more enjoyable to me tonight (a Tuesday) when there are fewer customers than when I popped in on Saturday. 
The highlight was the parade of gorgeous men taking turns in the shower 🚿.  Edwin remembered me from my visit last year, and came over and welcomed me and made me feel wonderful throughout the night. 
I had 2 private dances. The house charges 600 pesos ($33 US) for 10 minutes in a private room.  My 2 dances were very fun, but newbies just be warned to negotiate a price before hand.  I gave my 2 dancers  more than I usually do, because they were really good and that is on par what I might pay for similar time/action with a dancer in the US.  However, I am in Mexico so I'm sure I could have come to a price half that amount had I negotiated before going back to the booth, especially on a slow Tuesday night. 
The shower shows were the highlight and the reason I will go back later this week.

Packed on a Saturday afternoon. Loads of choice. But spent most of my time with Angelo.

$500 for an hour so out of my league but good luck to anyone who can 👍

Price is now £200. I guess I understand why, but when you can book an incall with many for this price, it does take away the allure of VG somewhat. Had an amazing time with Gui this afternoon and am happy pay that price for him, but that’s because I’ve seen him before and know what I’m getting. Not some advert on a site. Not sure how this will play out. Hope this is the last price increase for a good while. 

My experience in Thermas last year was similar, in that on my 2nd visit a hire from the day before blew me away and seemed even more enthusiastic about it than I was.  Your post inspires me to ask for off-site visits when I visit Thermas next year.
