Barcelona 2022; Thermas, Hunqz

[speedoo1]

Hmm. From my visits last year not many escorts will accept 60-70 EUR for 30 min (out or in-call). Many will reply that they don't do 30min (only an hour) and standard rate seems to be 100 EUR and upwards for 1 hour (at least for gym fit/muscle guys). I'm not saying that you might be lucky to find guys who are desperate for cash and willing to accept a lower rate, but I would fear that their physical appearance and/or the services may not meet the expectations of the customer.

Happy to report that I found 2 cute Brazilian guys at 10 am today (Friday) so even though the choice is limited, it seems you can get serviced at this insanely early time without issues.

A friend waiting on a gay cruise in BCN went to Thermas yesterday Saturday July 2 at about 2pm and said it was horrible. A few older guys and 3 twinks who looked very young. Let's hope for better.

I certainly wouldn't call that horrible!

I might go at that time, then.

I popped in to Thermas last month.  It was half an hour after opening. There were next to no other clients and about eight boys. I agreed 40e for a cute Puerto rican to fuck me. Such was his enthusiasm I told him 50e after a few minutes. Very happy punter.

Just went to Thermas on a Saturday at from 5-7 and had plenty of hot muscle guys to choose from. Had a great time.

All three guys I hired turned out to be Brazilian, which only confirms to me that I need to go to Brazil.

Barcelona may be getting interesting !

Just saw on IG that Tiagra Ramos, infamous for being a bathhouse garoto in Brazil who was lovers with footballer Neymar's mother who is 30 years older than his 22, is in Barcelona. I don't know if he'll show up at Thermas or on Romeo, but if I were there now I'd be messaging him.

Just visited BCN, still mostly happening on Friday night and Sat night. The Polish guy is sill there, and mostly South Americans.  Still hot action on those nights but go after 5:30pm or so.

So going on weekdays will have less garotos?

[Jasesyd]

Yeah a lot less.  I went on a tues late afternoon 6pm, and the wonderful staff told me only 3 garatos and not great quality, so I thank him and left.

Why sure … what do escorts value more than penny-pinching clients going out of their way to save a buck or two?

I had a few weeks staying in L’Geixample this quarter. I attended Thermas using two iterations of 5-pack entrance cards. The selection of escorts was dreadful compared  to several visits 2013-2019. Had I been armed with this knowledge previously, I’d have stuck with Fri/Sat exclusively. One of those weekend nights on one of the two weekends, I forget which, featured an improvement in offerings and transferred my spa blue-balls state to an overworked state, capitalizing on the availability. Overdoing it on the one occasion, unfortunately, seemed to trigger a subsequent rare episode of benign prostate hyperplasia shortly before the trip ending. I had always spread out the experiences on past trips. 

The basic trick rate seemed to be consistently 50 as in the past. I would not have accepted free sex with most of them. 

A few attendees recognizable from site ads, eg Hunqz, Telechapero, Morbototal wanted to pull up-charges. They were more attractive and perhaps wanted to try to split the difference with ad-based rates that seem to be generally 150-200. That’s a significant gap in payment structure that does not necessarily correspond to a 3-4-fold commensurate difference in physical appeal factor. In any case, these few appeared to be using Thermas if their other client source was slow. Obviously, one cannot generalize based only on my experience and perhaps some of these cross-over guys just abide by the fees that most clients likely think should be locked in to the setting. 

I did spring, unexpectedly as it is not my usual plan, for a few Hunqz hires. However, I was aware of their true identities for the sake of security. There were certainly a lot of what I thought were very appealing profiles. I believe the rule of thumb is 150 incall 200 outcall but I got those I wanted to visit me for 150. These were worthwhile sessions and it is understandable that most of these providers would not be putting out at low rates at Diputació, 46. I would definitely repeat with them in my home city if such types were available. 

Moreover, at Thermas they would be regularly exposed to a few tiresome obnoxious high-pitched screeching escort regulars horsing around or huddling in NA meetings, an aspect of the environment that clients and lower-key co-providers alike must endure. Counterintuitively, the spa offers no area for relative tranquility. Perhaps this has always been the case, but I suppose that is not a problem unless one is killing hours at a time waiting for good matches to appear. 
——

At Thermas I observed on at least one occasion a queue of towel-bearing clients at the reception wicket. I am not sure what transactions were occurring. If I have this right, other than possibly trying to make change from large to small denominations to pay for encounters, I think that some were using credit cards through the house payment system to issue funds to providers. Ordinarily, the credit card device would be employed only when dressed entering and paying or dressed paying one’s residual tab leaving. 
 

I see room 1 is still 10E (hr?). Well worth it over the free cubes.

i was in Thermas on Wednesday. Lots of skinny twinks from Colombia and  Brazil. Only two muscled guys. ...

[Connordrick]

, 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
