You have the directness of Steven Draker, late of this parish. But similarities abound, and they are no indication of connection.

There was no shortage of connection

The proprietors of Thermas do not lack a sense of humour. There is a sign at the entrance that states that prostitution on the premises is not permitted.

This is true. During the summer months, and especially so during August, many boys leave the city to travel. Actually Barcelona as a whole closes down mostly during August as many of the people who live there go on vacation to less hot climates. Best times seem to be spring and late Summer (September) and Fall. 

I have been in Barcelona for nearly 2 weeks and have visited Thermas about 9 or 10 times. This trip certainly puts paid to the idea that Thermas is quiet in August. This is my 5th visit to Barcelona and the sauna has been very active with a wonderful array of talent. If this August is anything to go by don’t hesitate to go during this month.

Antonio from Argentina and Francisco from Columbia have been the standouts for me.

@sydneyboy Were there many (or any) Caucasian-European providers?

Most from my experience are South Americans.

Maybe not just for yuks … while charging and paying for sex are both legal (only in the sense that they are not explicitly illegal) in Spain, the Spanish legal system has stiff penalties for pimping, brothel ownership, or profiting from another person’s sex work in any way.  That sign, while humorous to both clients and providers, might be the owner’s legal out.

I will be at Thermas — finally! — on Wednesday.  Although I’ll be in la ciudad condal until Saturday morning, Wednesday is my only free day.  Only one question for the regulars and semiregulars:  are one’s belongings safe in the locker?  No reports over these many pages of anything stolen from the lockers, but since I will be bringing my wallet stuffed with 50€ bills, I was hoping to hear some reassurance.

Yes, very safe on lockers. The providers locker is on the other side and they dont  go to your side of locker area. You pay them on the small toilet in the middle beside the reception. The locks is one that only close/open with a key

You can request a terry cloth robe and one towel in lieu of two towels. I need access to my reading glasses and usually carry my phone as sometimes Google translate comes in handy. The robe has pockets for these. Otherwise it’s walking around with a towel and one of those small shoulder purses to hold the items. Some of the escorts do that.

So happy for you! Please report back (ask for names if you remember to do so 😉)! Wednesday is usually a good time to go too. Escorts will start arriving from 3:30pm onwards.

Interestingly enough that sign has been taken down for a number of years now. I used to joke about it with the providers there. 

Lockers are as safe as any standard lockers you'd find at any gym. Unique key for your locker and the providers are not allowed to go into the clients' locker room (they have their own).

Why on earth do gay men waste their hard-earned money at Disney when they could go to Thermas instead??

When you’re looking forward something a little too much, it inevitably disappoints because your expectations are simply too high.  But Thermas actually lived up to its billing even though I had been dreaming of going for years and popping out of my cleats about this trip for weeks.

First, Juan from Colombia.  He wasn’t really my type, but I was jumping the gun to get started with somebody.  Still had fun though.  Then Matteo from Brazil:  excellent Spanish, good kisser.  #3 was Felipe, also Brazilian:  good Spanish but his accent was so thick that I struggled to understand him.  Even more fun than Matteo.  I was about to go with Cayo (no clue how he spells it), also Brazilian, struggles with Spanish and I didn’t think to ask in English.  He’s a drop-dead gorgeous, buff, furry blond.  As we were walking down the stairs to find a room, good thing I asked instead of assuming because he quoted me 100€.  I apologized and begged off.  I went back to Felipe again, and the second time he was twice as passionate as the first.  Heck, he was more into it than I was.  I have plans to get together with him off-site Friday night.

Because I am so used to walking around the house barefoot, I absentmindedly put the flip-flops they give you in my locker.  There’s a damn good reason for those flip-flops.  Yup, I slipped and landed flat on my can.  So I left Thermas with a very sore ass, but in a bad literal way, not a fun figurative way.

All in all, a sh!t-ton of fun.  The whole experience — chatting up chaperos wearing just a towel, getting a peek at their goody package, getting a “free sample” from a guy when you ask him if he kisses — can’t be beat.  I’m going back to Barcelona at the end of November, Sun->Tue.  Yuppers, I plan to make it to Thermas all 3 afternoons.

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.

I‘d leave my watch, wallet at the hotel and just bring cash and your mobile phone.

Did all encounters end with a full release? That would be exhausting haha

I’ll look for it when I go back in November.  I hope they let me take a photo because it will make for an amusing souvenir of my trips to Thermas.

As you walk in or leave the sign is right behind the guys at the front desk.
