Zurich

[davet]

Stopped for a couple days in Zurich recently and here are the notes:

1. Paragonya's remodeling did not seem to get in the way. I don't remember what was closed off from my previous trip (more than a decade ago) but there seemed to be lots of cabins, showers, nooks. Every inch was Swiss-clean. The cabins had condoms, lube, paper towel, and alcohol sprays. The remodeling should be done in a few days so I'd love to hear from someone what that looks like.

2. There was a good crowd of clients and working boys. My estimate is at least 20 of each.

3. Days and Times: Definitely a weekend thing, in fact only open I believe Thu.-Sun. while remodeling is going on. Definitely an afternoon thing. By 2 pm, you will have seen everybody who will be available. (One guy who came around 4 was asked "why so late?") By 4:30-5 pm, the guys start leaving.

4. The talent: Lots of Brazilians, including one I saw in Barcelona just before. Lots of Romanians - smooth talkers, unreliable in the sack, very "business"; I used to enjoy this type but not so much anymore. Some Czechs, including a stunning muscle sweetheart. The rate is a firm 100CHF. I didn't sense an expectation of a tip.

5. The worst thing: I must have forgotten that Paragonya is a "private" club and therefore smoking is allowed inside. Although they must have some ventilation system at the bar to keep the place from turning into a BBQ pit, it was really getting to me.

6. Zurich in general. Still pretty expensive even with the favorable currency rates. Even the fast food and ethnic restaurants aren't a deal. The best concentration of passable eats and prices I found was, surprisingly, on the touristy pedestrian street right outside Paragonya. Otherwise, do what the Swiss do and get your sandwiches and coffee at the grocery store.

I stayed at a pension in what turned out to be the edgy, ethnic, and slightly red-light neighborhood of Zurich. In addition to cafes and shawarma shops, think tattoo parlors, vape shops,  strip clubs, and hard-working ladies still hanging out in fishnet stocking when the nippy morning came around. There were also plenty of guys in track suits hanging out in front of the clubs and ladies, including one hunky Russian-looking guy who gave me "a look," but I didn't have the opportunity to find out what he was selling. All in all, I'm already thinking about a return trip to Switzerland.

Is Paragonya's opened area good enough to visit on its own?

What I saw was good enough to visit. But the remodeling should be done and the entire facility accessible by now.

On the website it says the sauna area will only open in March. In this case, with only the lounge and part of the spa open, where do you go to have fun in the facility?

[andygchicago]

Has anyone been recently? Website says partial opening Thursday-Sunday until "March." I'm visiting Zurich late February until March 1st, so I'm missing the reopening

But I'm curious of what the rentboy availability is in the interim.

I hear the opening of the wet areas of the sauna will be 11 March

There must have been some delays in the remodel. Unless they changed the areas of non-access, what I saw a few months ago was the bar, lounge, lockers, and bathrooms on the main floor and cabins, videos, play areas, and a jungle shower on the upper floor. There were about 15-20 rent boys split amongst Brazilians and East Europeans. They were good-looking and service-oriented. Better than Barcelona or Lagoa.

For Zurich's Pargonya, I was a bit disappointed in my April 1st visit, 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, the new area is nice with a Whirlpool , a dry sauna and steam room. The rest of the place it was the same as my previous visit in November 2022

Hope you still had fun outside of Paragonya!

I did have fun. Even in Paragonya but it was a struck of luck. If it wasn’t because a hot Brazilian boy I met I may have to had to leave Paragonya without any encounter. 
and most of the Hunqz/RentMen in Zurich weren’t responsive. 
I am pretty sure it is a hit or a miss so I will give it another try but not in the near future. I would love to explore new locations in Europe.

i was once at  https://www.boysclub21.nl/ before C on 2018. I was the only client that day, the pictures that they have in the site looks accurate at what i remembered 

There were once blond twink and a Romanian guy. Ive never been there again.

I had the same experience this week (monday and tuesday). Mostly very slim and average escorts. There was one nice cuban guy I had fun with on monday. But thats all. And the escorts at Hunqz didnt respond. All in all I prefer Barcelona. BCN is cheaper and nicer in my eyes.

[Connordrick]

Yes. The same, I was hoping to meet cute Eastern Europeans. I only foun a Bulgarian boy. He was good, but as soon as we were together he left. I don’t know if he had more clients before, it was quiet early - 2 pm, or if he just want to do one client and go. 
 

he came tho 

[Pavel4ever]

Not sure if it’s due to the weather. Zurich seems still cold currently. Hope there will be more boys when the weather gets warmer and there will be more visitors
