Zippo5

Went again today, Saturday.  Got there around 4:40pm.  Lots of providers.  Chatted with a few and can confirm that it seems that the going rate is 50 euro.

I decided to go with the same guy as yesterday.  His name is Alfredo, not Alberto.  Nice guy.  
I'm hooked.  Gotta get back to Barcelona soon.

Gentlemen, There is already a moderator’s warning in this thread to stay on topic and to stop the bickering. 
This is a great topic so let’s not discuss personal off-topic issues on it. 
Thank you! 🙏 

Where did you get the info that Thermas has been slow? Every time I've been in the last few months it's been similar to how it's always been: a varied mix of working guys, from muscular gym types to twinks. Friday and Saturday are always the best time to go. 

Both cities are lovely. Let’s just all get along. 

Went recently and saw Valentino. Well worth the visit if you get chance.

I'm going to message you privately, to make sure you get it, but in case anyone else here reads and likes this book, I highly recommend the very good TV show that haunted my dreams each night I watched it, Halt and Catch Fire*, not just because it's also about computers and takes place around the same time as the book does, but the characters share the same frustrating flaw of being too smart to stay connected for very long. (But that's not what the show is about, read the NYTimes critical appraisal AFTER you finish the show, to find out what it was really about.)  Enjoy!  p.s. Each season is better than the last.
*It comes with AMC+, otherwise you can buy it on Halt and Catch Fire on Amazon Prime

Zippo5, My friends & I were there on a weekday night, so you're raising a good point.  I didn't go there on a weekend.

Barcelona's always a good bet, especially with Sauna Thermas.  London has loads, and Villa Giani.

I loved it.  Recommend to everyone. One of my favourite recent reads.

and again last night (Saturday).  I’ve been going to Thermas for at least 15 years and this is the best I’ve ever seen it - in terms of the men.  It has definitely changed for the better imo.  Depends on your taste, but if you like masculine Latino men early 30s, then this is the pace for you.  
It feels like because of the private parties and everyone knows they’re leaving by 10:30p, it’s much busier much earlier.  I got there about 3;30p - by 5p very busy. At 6p it’s packed.  No waiting for rooms because they have so many.  
If I didn’t know exactly where I was, I’d swear it’s a Brazilian sauna in São Paulo. It’s that good without any of the downside. 
The guys who owns Thermas is relatively hands-on and he is visible.  Very handsome man in his 40s.  Whatever he is doing works because the men there are consistently friendly, there is no pressure and they are honest.  And they do what they say they will do & more. I recognized a couple guys from RM and other apps, yet at Thermas they all charge 50euro.  I think it’s a great setting to meet someone & go elsewhere if you want more time.  For me, 4 hours at Thermas is enough and back to hotel.
If you haven’t been, add Barcelona & Thermas to your list. If you indulge in this hobby, it’s a must. 

 

Just making up nonsense to scare people huh?
Also anyone who has been to a strip club knows the majority of guys have their bags packed and headed out before last call is even announced. No dancers are hanging out outside at 4 am looking to beat up people. 

good question re; types of guys.
From my recent visits - most of the working men are guy next door types, depending on your country of residence Most were very fit and lightly muscled with a few twinks and a few I’d consider bearish.  It was not overrun with twinks as some posts here indicate.  I can see where some older guys may perceive “twink” just because as a whole, it’s a younger group of men working - I didn’t see it that way tho.  There were no steroid bodybuilders or huge muscle guys. Thermas did have some bodybuilders around before the pandemic, I haven’t seen them there since.  The majority of the working guys are Brazilian & same as you’d find at Lagoa - a few have actually worked at Lagoa which is not surprising.  Age range is 20 -35 with the majority in the middle. 

In BCN, there seems to be some cross-over between sauna guys and online guys, however very few.  The sauna guys can be taken off-site for 100euros, but that’s not for a full hour - more like 40 minutes. Standard rate for online guys is 150/per hour - if they think you are American/Canadian/Australian the quote is frequently higher. Research all the online sites in Spain (Hungz, Telechapero, Rentmen) & when making contact do not tell them you found them on RM - that’s almost always a much higher rate because it’s the go to site for Americans.  Also helps if you contact people from a non-US identifiable phone number if possible. And use google translate to Spanish even tho that is obvious sometimes.  If an online guy quotes more than 150hour, find someone else because there are plenty.  
A provider friend in BCN recently gave me a stern warning to be very careful with online guys because of frequent & heavy drug use (crystal meth) it’s very common and leads to other things like petty theft, performance issues, etc. There is some drug use in the sauna too, but mostly just smoking weed. 

In BCN, the sauna is the best choice for most as you can see exactly what you’re getting in a controlled safe environment with lots of options.  I like to stay very close to Thermas so I can come & go as it’s open 24/7.  They don’t allow re-entry, so that’s an extra cost but minimal for what you get. Lots of good restaurant options within a block or two makes it all very easy, safe & civilized. 
PM me if you need hotel recommendations.  Enjoy !

Visited last night. Packed. Too many to choose from. Went with 2 Brazilians (Ronaldo and Leo (I think)) highly recommended. Lovely guys. Will visit again soon. 

There used to be one called Sauna Adan, but as far as I know it didn't re-open after the pandemic.

If you are in London do yourself a favor and meet this stud. You won’t regret it!
