Just got back from a short work trip. Visited the sauna twice. despite the chilly weather, I’d say about 20+ working boys were there. About 5 were sketchy/pushy, another ten were perfectly fine, but not my type. So I had a solid five each day to choose from and not a lot of patrons… maybe 15 on Sunday, which was their busiest day. Almost everyone was Hispanic, with the exception of a couple Nigerians and a baby faced white twink that looked like Jared Leto in Fight Club, I kid you not. Lots of Brazilians, Venezuelans and some new Colombians. Good times to be had.

 If you want to book at your hotel, forgo Romeo, literally every guy I tried to hire there flaked out. Just arrange something with one of the sauna boys and stay at TWO, it’sa five minute walk at most, and it’s a genuinely good quality gay hotel for pretty cheap. 24 hour bodega is a few feet away, as is a great egg breakfast place (skip the hotel buffet it’s terrible). Boyberry it’s also next door.

 Rates go from 50-100 euros depending on what you want, and be very clear beforehand.

 On a side-note, one of the escorts mentioned there is a gay brothel by the university. I might start a separate thread in that since there is literally no info on this. He said there’s an amazing selection of college boys for very cheap. 

A gay brothel at the university! A tantalising thought!

I wonder if he was thinking of an established ‘agency’ (which some years ago also offered sex-on-the-premises) called American Boys which was based in an apartment near Plaza de Universidad

Maybe? The guy said he’s been working at Thermas since before the pandemic, and those details sync up with what he said

Pretty certain that place closed a while ago, but would be very happy to be proven wrong!

planning to go to this place. any updates?

Leaving Barcelona.  Thermas was great a lot of fun. Paragonya, not so much 

[sydneyboy]

I’m in Barcelona in a couple of months. What’s the current rate at Thermas?

It depends on the provider though most will ask 50 euro for a very short "30 minutes". (I don't think any of them has ever given me an actual 30 minutes, you're looking 15 to 20 minutes). 

The price often depends on the sexual orientation and comfortableness of the provider: fully gay versatile providers will do everything for 50, but there are also straight guys that will charge more and do less. One provider offered a massage for 30 euro for 30 minutes (without any extras). Only a handful of providers suck dick (but allow their dick to be sucked). Be clear and upfront about what you want and have them confirm the price. 

Some guys who are "only tops" will bottom for 100 euro. It all really depends. 

The best guy I've met there goes by the name Mateo. He's in his thirties with a hairy muscular body and a big thick dick. He absolutely loves sex and really cares that you are satisfied. He's usually there on Fridays and Saturdays. He also gives a really good massage! If he's your type, I can definitely recommend him.

Here's his Rentmen ad:

finally I have the time to report from trip to Barcelona, where I spent four days at Thermas followed by three days in Zurich. Despite feeling exhausted, I had an amazing time at Thermas, which is still a great option to meet guys at reasonable prices. € 50 and in some cases '€100, like always, I was upfront and clear , Depending on your needs and preferences, you can negotiate for more.

I was lucky to have a good set of guys that  joined me on a Wednesday, which is client day, and the place was packed with Venezuelans, Brazilians, Colombians, Cubans, mixed guys, Greeks, and a few Romanians. It was great to see that the place hasn't changed much. I even met some guys from previous trips who were all really nice.
The only challenge was having to make decisions when there were so many options on the weekends 

.I get the Extra rooms, the💶€10 ones, I prefer them for it’s clean sheets, and you can return the keys after paying for the total hours to get another fresh room/sheets. I recommend taking a room on Friday and Saturday, even if you're not going to use it for hours, since it gets busy, and rooms may not be available. I spent time with two guys, one of whom was Albanian and one from Venezuela. who I had met several times on previous trips. They also introduced me to their friends that they new were my type. On weekends, you can stay as long as you want, but most of the guys leave by 7 pm, and those remaining boys are usually seeking to get high.
there is a party that starts at midnight is called Crush is a dance party that Thermas host  every other Saturday, but it's one night for straight and another for gay people, and it was clear that it's not popular at for Thermas rentboys since is not for hiring.
It's challenging to keep up with specific guys' names, but once I got my locker key, I usually headed to the bar downstairs to grab a drink and wait for the guys to walk around. They're not pushy, so you can say hello and sometimes be introduced to their friends without any jealousy.
Some guys  hang out on the middle floor where the cabins are, but if it's busy and the guy is not taken, most likely, you won't either. as crude as it my sounds: tops and in high demand and if they are hung even harder to get them since they are always with a clients. 
 

As for Zurich's Pargonya, I was disappointed that there weren't as many guys as I expected, and most of them were socializing among themselves and old-time patrons. I only met two guys at Pargonya, while at Thermas, there were more varied and impressive boys  

I can’t wait to go back to Thermas but for Paragonya I will wait and only go if it is an easy trip,

Can anyone confirm that this is still in operation ?

For those that www wondering about the Crush Parties that are host in Thermas once a month, I think, and doesn’t have rent boys. Also, Thermas with boys close at 8 when hosting those parties   Here is the link instagram Crush Party at Thermas

it is an IG story so it will expire in 12 hours. I think

[forrestreid]

I visited Thermas over two successive nights at the end of April.

 

First Night - Wednesday

 

On the first night, I got there about 6 pm.  I don’t see that many guys about  - I would say there was about seven guys for hire, and maybe same amount of clients. 

 

In particular I noticed three rather feminine young men, who I first though were rentboys, but then realised that they were clients. They tended to stay in their own group and made no attempt to hire that I saw. I am not sure if they went into the wrong sauna, or just wanted to have a look around at the scene (of course, for all I really know, they may have been sated from a big orgy with a dozen rentboys just before i arrived).

 

Some of the escort guys were eating and seemed to have retired from the hunt, for the time being at least. I was only approached by a Nigerian guy and a South American guy (cannot remember exactly which country he said) named Juan.

 

I was not hugely taken with either guy. I agreed to go into a room with Juan for massage, which ended in mutual masturbation and he gave me a BJ. We agreed on €50 and I gave him €60  - we are in the room from maybe 40 minutes altogether.

 

The sauna was a bit quieter than I anticipated, so I asked Juan if it had been busier earlier in the day, and he said it was. So the next day Thursday I made an effort to be there by 4 pm.

 

[forrestreid]

My next night in Thermas

Second Night - Thursday

 

There was a bigger crowd of guys this time. Maybe 15 escorts and slightly more customers. Several escorts approached me, but none very aggressively. I had a chat with Juan, who was there again, and seemed anxious for repeat business. In general the feeling I got was that they rentboys were nearly all South American guys. However, I did not like to question too much if I wasn’t interested in them, as I didn’t want to be seen to be "leading them on", so to speak.

 

I went for a dip in the little pool there ( a very pleasant feature which few mention in reviews) and saw a rather moody looking guy sitting in the seats in the corner at that level. He was a rather handsome, masculine, Eastern European looking kind of guy, so I went over and said hello. He was the only guy I took the initiative to approach in the Sauna.

 

He turned out to be a Russian guy called Ivan. We we had a chat and we agreed to go to a room. The only free rooms were both very dark and small, so I decided to splash out €10.50 for a private room The main advantage this was that it had sheets on the bed, and you could turn the lights up a lot, all the better for appreciating Ivan's fine physique!

 

Ivan told me he was straight, and top only. He had previously been a professional footballer. But now he was unemployed, and needed money, hence his working in Thermas. I am guessing that as a non-EU citizen, his legal employment options in Spain were limited also.

 

We agreed to €60 for him to give me a massage and mutual masturbation.

The massage was a bit hard for me - he told me he had been trained in proper sports massage, but I am more used to the light rubbing you get in Thai sexy massage place as a prelude to the "afters".

 

He then offered to fuck me. However, I was not in the mood for that, so I just told him I wanted him to cum. He said that he wanted another €30 or €40 for that, so I decided not to bother (there is nothing as desire-killing, as a guy who starts to negotiate in the middle of a session). In fairness to him, however, we had not discussed it before we entered the room, and I know it would probably hinder his ability to do so with a later client. So I didn’t hold that against him

 

Instead I just got him to  wank me until I came.

 

In the room, he seemed a little morose. I asked him if he was thinking of going back to Russia, and he said he was afraid to at the moment, with the possibility of conscription into Putin's war machine.

 

When we ended our session though, he accepted his €60 with a big smile, and volunteered to give me his phone number so we could arrange a session outside Thermas. So I think he was happy with his 40 minutes work and remuneration overall.

However, as I was flying out the next day, I couldn’t take him up on the offer.

 

All in all, although it was not the most exciting sex experiences I have had, it was very pleasant and relaxing The rentboys all stayed out of the clients locker area, and it felt a very safe environment for both the rentboys and clients.

Sounds like a lovely time! My experiences have been good overall too. Though very few stay the full 30 minutes in the room with me (usually about 15 to 20 minutes and that's with me actively slowing things down), so I'm happy you got 40 minutes both times!

Whatever happened young Polish escort who lived at Thermas before the pandemic? I'd always do a little something with him (he was cute) because I admired anyone industrious enough to live at work if it's a sex sauna with cubes. Always available and saved on rent. I don't think anyone else was allowed after closing.

I visited Thermas last Saturday and was disappointed by the quality of the guys and the atmosphere.  I like muscle guys and there were none.  Mostly slim guys, some of whom were very pushy.  There were a couple of beefier men but they were regulars that I recognized from the last time I was there pre-pandemic and past their prime.  The atmosphere was dead with less than 15 customers.  I left after an hour.  I had been warned by one of my faves in Barcelona that Thermas had gone downhill and that most of the muscle guys now go online.  The place looked clean and in great shape but it was not the same place that I loved.  I hope I visited on a bad day…

Thermos best hours?  I believe it is Monday through Friday, 1pm to 5PM.  I believe Sunday wasn’t a good time? But always dead after 5PM>

Can someone please confirm the best hours?

 

[+ tassojunior]

I'm over in Nice and Cannes with some of my Bel Ami friends June 12-20 and wondering if it's worth taking a weekend in BCN for Thermas. I can't find anything similar on the Cote d'Zur (except the French naval base at Toulon with 25,000 sailors and 5 gay bars and a gay sex club.---I'd only get in trouble). I always have a good (safe) time at Thermas.

That's odd hours. From personal experience the sauna Thermas is busiest on Saturday between 4pm and 7pm. After 7pm both clients and escorts start leaving fast. Sunday is usually calmer. Friday evening from 4pm till 7pm is okay too. I've never been during the week. But afternoons are quiet. 

[SouthOfTheBorder]

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.
