Fellows, I have used the room in question several times and never had the sense of acoustic distractions from the area outside of it, but that is just my take.

Because you turned down your hearing aid??

Ha ... Really? That’s your cumback? I suppose it’s not terrible for someone flying blind, but keep your regular job. Helen Keller could do better on a bad day with no inkling of the context.

Hello??

Hi.I am going to Barcelona end of October. My plane will be arriving 10:30 at night, which means I won't be able to get to my airbnb accommodation around midnight. My accommodation is minutes away from  Thermas. Thermas's website says they are open 24 hours, would there still be any fun to have with the boys at the sauna by then? I understand that the place is busy between 4:30pm and 7pm. If not, can you please suggest a place for me to go, like bar, club, etc. I know I know some of you will suggest to just go to bed and save my energy but I will be doing that on the plane. I don't think I'll be able to sleep due to excitement. Thanks in advance. I will come back with full report. 

[Riobard]

Maybe Fri or Sat late night at Thermas. Makes sense because it’s weekend. You can see the popular time graphs by day of week on Google. If it's a Monday, forget about it. 

One provider there said there is an uptick of business following late-night/early-morning club partying. I doubt it is hopping, though.

The guys I like seem to be checking out by 22:00 ... in fact, some of them seem to be going out clubbing, or to their otherwise real lives far more fabulous than whoring, and a good evening's worth of earnings supports that reward. At least one of them I met on my last trip does club gogo stints following a Thermas shift. Clubs (and evening meal too) get rolling quite late, as you know. 

It should be perfect for my circadian rhythm, but I can never seem to draw on my batteries past midnight. 

There is a handful of guys that seem to live in Thermas, some of them oldtimers and others visiting from Latin America on meagre budgets, adapting to getting sleep as needed in the free cabins.

Hello all.

I will be in Barcelona two nights from Sunday. Any updates or recommendations both for Thermas, other saunas and the escort scene will be highly appreciated.

I have been to this great place before, but it is a few years back so some things has probably changed.

Of course now that I am used to Brazilian standards, Thermas could be considered  a bit disappointing yesterday night. Maybe 20 to 25 boys  from around the world, including, which is rare, a local guy from Barcelona. Claimed to be bottom but did not really manage to bottom. Sucked well to compensate. 19 years old  Seb from Colombia was my second choice. Nice face, silky skin but not bottoming. Good session altogether. A cute Romanian had just arrived and was going to sleep in the sauna to save money. Short smiling guy, accepting to be passive. It is the first time I hear a Romanian accepting to bottom ... Did not go with him though, but I might go with him if I go back to Thermas tonite. 

Most boys arrive around 4 pm and leave by 8 pm

Went to BoysBarBcn in the same street as Thermas. Nice bar. Friday night is stripper nite. Good looking guys. Private lapdances available. 

It seems there is also an Ass Contest which might be fun

I think I just missed you. Was there literally 24h ago. Got back home just now. Would recommend Costas the Greek Albanian, a footballer who knows how to fuck and he could not strop cumming inside you when he is fucking you.  The bottom boy I would recommend is Gustavo from Chile who is a dancer with a great ass and muscular thighs. He even cums for me wihout being asked when he gets fucked. There was a hot African guy with a small beard and a horse dick who I liked a lot but did not have the chance to get together.

Sorry to have missed you ! We should see each other next month. I met a guy from Chile, Daniel but I did not see this Gustavo who seems to be a must meet. Maybe today ...

Enjoying boys and tapas.

@pauleiro, what is the setup for private lap dances at Boys Bar? I would have checked it out recently but was not aware. 
The website refers to it, but does not clarify if is only Friday Stripper Night, and of dozens of reviews no commentators refer to private dances.

If not in a private area, preferably, enclosed cubicle, I would likely take a pass.

I have also Messengered the owner for details.

I did not do private dance there since I went there after a long time in Thermas. Just reported what I read on the site. Not sure where the lapdances take place nor the price which is supposed to be moderate according to site. 

Atmosphere of the bar is great and strippers cute but show is late as everything in Spain ...

[SolaceSoul]

There are strip shows at BoyBar BCN on Fridays AND Saturdays. I was just there on a Saturday.

The owner is a very friendly but business-minded Panamanian. His partner also works there. It’s a very nice spot, but as mentioned above, the shows start late — and I’m no longer a late-night person.

Friday is stripper nite and saturday is gogo boy. Different stages of undressing and of interaction with customers, I guess

[pauleiro]

[Riobard]

By the stroke of midnight all strokes into my behind are behind me and I am snuggled up somewhere in L’Eixample with a hot cup of Ovaltine and my blue Truvada. In spite of my body clock being supper time. 
 

But I am more interested in the structure and setup ...

“Dear Mr Joly. I live in Montreal, many gay strip clubs. The “private dances” are in a separate cubicle, no other customers sitting directly beside you. What is the structure at your club? A private area like in New York, or a small private cubicle with the dancer? Only on Friday stripper night? I like Thermas but sometimes I prefer a basic lap dance in a nice atmosphere. <R>”

[Riobard]

PS: I have not had time to view the full IG account but at first glance one of the photos is a trick from Thermas.

I suspect that, like many countries with relaxed attitudes and legislation, the nightclubs nevertheless are all about titillation but don’t know much about setting up infrastructure for sexy guys to make some real cash apart from stipends and small tips.

Setting somebody in a chair in the middle of a crowded room for a minute of gyrating by a hot stripper? YAWN

Altogether a good time in Barcelona this week end with good sessions in Thermas. Many nice boys. No pushy lads. Many Brasilians (from : Rio, Curitiba, Campo Grande, Sao Paulo, Cabo Frio). A good third of the boys in Thermas were from Brazil. Barcelona is certainly one of the best gay destinations in Europe. There are also many bars and cruising places. Open Mind is a wild place to visit. Not starting before midnight though, as usual. I had a glance at Bear factory which is supposed to gather bears and bear admirers, but I had a glance and did not see admirers. 

[midnightcafe]

Just came across Open Mind’s website. What’s the scene like? Any tips and recommendations?

I was just there for about a week, and my estimate is that around 2/3 of the working guys were Brazilian. The others that I met (whether just casually or for actual sessions) were from Colombia, Cuba, Romania, Cameroon, Panama, Venezuela, and Egypt. This also includes even the ones that would not be on my sexual radar. I don’t know how our estimates could be so vastly different.

I do not think it is that different, considering it was a different day. When I say "a good third", I mean more than one third. I made the calculation on Sunday. I went with a nice Brazilian and we spent time together and chatted a lot. He introduced me to all the Brazilians who were present that day at that time (around 6 pm). They were 7 from the various cities I mention above. In the sauna, I counted less than 20 boys altogether, taking into account all the boys including of course the ones I did not fancy. From what I discussed, 3 were from Colombia, 3 from Romania, 3 from Africa (including Northern Africa and Egypt), one from Poland, one from Venezuela,  ... thence the ratio I mentionned. 

 

Let us say there are approximately half of Brazilians in the sauna.

Open Mind is a private club meaning that you need to register to enter the place (show ID). You also need to get an invitation which is sent through mail. 

It is open from Thursday to Sunday each week, from 11 pm on, with a program which is available on the site. Some saturday, there are events earlier ie at 7 pm  or even 3 pm(milk, fist). 

The internet site shows pictures of the place. There are many people around, including some younger guys. No much attitude. Hot place indeed

So I am currently in Barcelona and had my first visit since October. It was very slow on Tuesday but guys were somewhat desperate. I had two three guys I like but all of them ended up being liars in the sense that they did they like kissing but in the cabin they would avoid kissing. The worst was a tall dark Brazilian guy with a lot muscle and huuuuge dick. He wasn't interested in doing anything except getting sucked in the cabin so I was really pissed. His name is Gabriel. 

Also one good shot was a guy with very decent English but he spent most of his time with a client on the bar deck so couldn't talk to him. Maybe he is the famous Egyptian? What's the description of the Egyptian guy? 

 

I will update if I get more names... 

[Oftenincity]

Pharogyptian ... that's the Planetromeo-Name of the Egypt guy in Thermas. You will see there - in his profile - pics and reviews. For my taste he is too pushy, a bit a diva. But he has many clients in Thermas Sauna.
