In Italy we say "darkroom", never backroom

I got my dick sucked at the Discoteca Martín in Barcelona years ago. There's was neither a darkroom nor a backroom but a dark staircase in the back, with about 50 men getting it on.

some Thermas tips 
1. go early - before it gets crowded.  Thermas is big and spread across 3 floors - it can be disorienting to arrive when filed with providers & clients. Plus - it’s competitive & the locals/regulars will always go for their favorites who are usually the most in-demand. Arriving when it’s crowded puts you at a disadvantage. I like to arrive at opening about 3p and watch as providers/ clients arrive. 
2. get familiar with the layout - because it is confusing.  I’d recommend a complete walk-through of the entire place at least once to take note of spa facilities & bar (first floor), all showers (first & second floors).  And the one private bathroom on first floor with a douche - the key to that bathroom is at reception and depending on the attendant, they may require you buy an attachment or if you have your own, then a tip to get the key.  Return the key asap as there may be others waiting.
3. there will always be guys hanging around the reception area & watching the clients locker room.  the game is to snag clients in that area & before they can see the other providers.  don’t fall for it.
4. like anywhere else - be cautious if anyone offers you anything to ingest. last time I was there, a provider offered candy between sessions - upon inspection it was potent edible marijuana. there are a couple guys there routinely selling things - I’d avoid them & whatever they have.  they are obvious & likely will make an approach at some point. 
5. the free cabins are fine for 30 minutes & the staff cleans continuously- but that doesn’t mean you’ll always get a fresh cabin.  If you want to make sure it’s clean - then private rooms. Again - getting there early ensures access to private rooms - when it’s crowded you may wait and sometimes they don’t open up at all. 
6. you dont need ID to get in - leave passports & valuables in your hotel safe.  I carry a set amount of cash, one credit card & phone.  I don’t leave those items in the locker - I carry them with me in a small pack at all times.  you need cash for the guys - everything else can be on credit card.
7. bring your own condoms & lube.  the condoms provided are the most basic & the lube is almost nonexistent.  the guys appreciate good quality condoms & it makes a big difference.  I like to bring my own antibacterial soap along too - just to be extra careful between sessions.  availability of soap in the showers is not a sure thing.
8. if smoking bothers you - avoid the area on the second floor where smokers congregate.  for people who smoke, it’s ideal place to engage the guys in a more relaxed environment.
9. don’t be afraid to say no.  you will be approached many times by guys who may not be your type.  there’s not pressure per se, but they are direct and don’t want to waste time.  they are used to no & it’s just part of the environment.  polite & firm gets the message across.  

10. you will pay for everything at the end & check your final bill carefully.  if buying drinks for providers, make sure you are clear at that time what you’re offering. an offer for a drink can easily turn into a full meal - and that’s fine if that is what you’re offering.  if spending a few hours there, the charges can add up quickly. 
11. don’t be afraid to tell the provider exactly what you want - they’re professionals and have seen it all, several times.  no reason to be embarrassed.  If there is a language barrier - use google translate or show them a video of the type of scene you want. a video is easiest way to get the clear message across & I’ve seen several clients do it.

 
 
 

I'm sure we could figure out an Italian way to go from 'Let No One Sleep' to 'Let's Sleep With Everyone'

for many gay men of a certain age - we were never supposed to live long enough to worry about “looking like an old queer”
aging is a blessing, not a curse

No, just you ID or passport, no matter where you are from

Italian "Pollo alla cacciatoraA" has many regional variations, the classical has no bell peppers nor mushrooms, just canned tomatoes, garlic, onions, carrots, red wine and parsley, but almost every family has her own recipe

I think it does matter. Familiarity with the characters makes the story more real for some viewers. 

Yes, it’s a not a set rate. I’m thinking 70ish is the new 50.

"Take Me Out To The Ball Game" 🤪

As far as I know Laboratory is open with the usual nights

Everything she sang reflected her great artistry.  There is no soprano today comparable in terms of style and expression.  R.I.P. signora

I hate the thought of giving up my one glass of wine with dinner every night.

I lived in Amsterdam for a year back in the Day Sauna/Night Sauna days and boy has it changed. Friends just went over for the Gay Pride boat parade and they were disappointed too. In that area I do better in Antwerp, Cologne or Hamburg. 

I can't help you with your questions, I'm sorry. But I did want to say you have very good taste in men!
As for answers to your questions, I'm curious to know too. 

I buy some of the precooked entrees from Aldi and then make them my own ways. 
I really like this Thai Style Coconut Chicken Curry. I open sachet and heat it in a covered pan and sometimes even add some frozen long thin French cut green beans to it to make like a 'Panang Curry'. I'll either serve it with steamed Jasmine rice or cut up the chicken in small chucks and serve it with some kind of flat Asian noodles to make sort of like a Pad Thai. It's a nice no-fail quick meal for those that enjoy spicy Asian food.   

Quality cheeses and crackers and maybe some nice olives too if I'm drinking alcohol. 

It's pretty dead now. 

perhaps a contrarian view - I prefer its when not so busy, avoiding Friday & Saturday altogether.  Primetime on the busiest days is a cattle call with competiton for boys and boys trying to do as many programas possbie - thus, more likely to get rushed or incomplete service in my view than at other times.
Over the years & many visits - I’ve never been disappointed, just adjusted the game plan based on conditions.  A good time is guaranteed when my focus is what I bring to the situation vs what i expect to find when I get there.
Personal favorite time is early Sunday night when the regular boys are not there - they can be annoying & sometimes mechanical.
Pro tip - when you find someone you really like & tip well, they will almost always give a phone number.  Then you can coordinate another sauna encounter any hour you wish.
