Jacksfo Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Visited Thermas a few weeks ago on Saturday and Sunday. I was not disappointed. The renovations have modernized the facilities, from locker rooms to snack bar to cubicles. There were lots of rentboys of all shapes, sizes and colors on Saturday afternoon/early evening. Most from South America, but some from Africa and Eastern Europe. Many twinks and muscle guys, most of whom advertise in GayRomeo. Poax remains one of my favs there. He is handsome, muscular, versatile and loves to kiss. He can play all roles and makes you feel that he is totally into you and your scene for the 30 minutes you have him. Amazing guy. Also saw DiegoModelo there. Very handsome guy from Brazil. His pics don't do him justice but...he can be a hustler. The going rate is 50E for 20-30 minutes. He wanted 200E but quickly went down to 50E with negotiation. Others seen at Thermas were Alejandro (great beefy bod) and Donato (very tall and ripped bodybuilder). Unfortunately, I didn't have the time or stamina to meet with all of them Returned on Sunday. Much quieter than Saturday but I was able to find a Polish guy and a Brazilian to satisfy my muscle needs. Both left a smile on my face and don't advertise of GayRomeo. This sauna continues to draw amazing men to their locker rooms! MsGuy, flipao, Jacksfo and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sauna continues to draw amazing men to their locker rooms! Well, yesterday I returned to California after being away for a month, beginning in Berlin and ending with five days in Barcelona, a city in which I fell in love and consider it to be one of two others of my favorites: Rio and San Francisco. I do plan to return. Wish I could be more positive and upbeat about the Thermas Sauna where I found myself on Sunday eve on the 13th of October 2013. As the writer before me wrote-- the venue looks great although too dim for my eyes. Because I did not desire to wear the usual attire of a friggin' towel but chose to dawn a dark t shirt and boxers, after being there for almost an hour, I was asked to change. Instead of my yielding to the man's request, I redressed and left, leaving behind the few guys who had approached me earlier and possibly others who were to enter after 7P. Too bad because I principally viewed the offerings and said "no" to the four guys who'd approached me immediately upon their spotting this "newbie". If you do not mind wearing a towel over a body that is not in its stellar condition, then go there and enjoy! I did what I've done during my last four of nine visits to the saunas in Rio de janeiro where I've had NO PROBLEM at all wearing my t and boxers and my own good flip flops! Guess this sauna will NOT be seeing me again! flipao 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members miller Posted February 9, 2014 Members Share Posted February 9, 2014 I went to the Thermas baths last Sunday after reading many positive reviews here.It was easy to find near the Roquefort metro station. It was about 7pm when I entered the sauna.There was a wealth of rent boys of all nationalities including many Brazilians,Africans and Europeans.The boys were affectionate,tactile and chatty.There was little hard sell or aggression and the going rate was about 40-60Euros.I had a very enjoyable time and will return soon.... flipao and MsGuy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members pauleiro Posted February 15, 2014 Members Share Posted February 15, 2014 I was in Termas last January. Met David, from Spain, very friendly (with eveyone), and making a lot of money, particularly in summer. 50€ for a hot long session. Perfect ass. And nice juicy cock !

Members axiom2001 Posted March 1, 2014 Members Share Posted March 1, 2014 I wore a light white cotton robe.... Did they provide this, or did you bring it with you? I was so pissed that I decided NOT to yield to their unreasonably, friggin' dictates. I think some other client or clients might have been uneasy by my being in light attire. Apparently, it did not faze the guys, for some, as I mentioned in my initial post, wanted to "jump my bones" immediately. From prior advice many years ago in my getting oriented to the saunas of Rio de janeiro, I was guided as to NOT go with the first guy/guys immediately upon entrance....

Guest timothygabel Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I visited in March this year and all in all I had a great visit at Thermas. I like how the place is run so professionally. The staff is pretty friendly, the lockeroom is well lit, and there are a couple of guys constantly going from stall to stall to wipe up the mess. As you enter, they give you towels, flipflops, some lube and condoms, and a key that goes around your wrist so you cant lose it. You can also leave your cash in your locker and just go up to the locker room to hand the escort your cash after the session. When I first went, I was afraid that it would be dark and intimidating, but its just the oposite, bright and friendly, and honestly, it is heaven on earth! So if you happen to be in Barcelona and are looking for a little bit of fun, mostly with muscular Barzilians, do yourself a favor and visit Thermas.

Guest timothygabel Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Here are some more detailed info from my weekend: In March 2014 I visited Thermas for the second time. My first time was in the summer of 2013, and back then I have to say that i was a little bit disappointed: i had expected pretty much heaven on earth, based on the reviews that I had read about the many muscular brazilian boys (which is my type) that supposedly worked there. But when i visited last summer, there were only two guys there that I was attracted to. One of them is called Alejandro and is on gayromeo: http://tinyurl.com/qc82ahh He was by far the most muscular guy there and I eventually took him to the hotel with me. I really liked his muscular hairy body, and we had fun in the hotel : ) The other guy was a much younger guy, a very masculine looking, light-skinned Brazilian guy called Michael. I took him to the cabin but something was off, he seemed distracted and it wasnt that great. He did tell me that he was straight, and I figured that maybe he just didnt feel that comfortable doing this. Cut to March 2014. Back in Barcelona. I figured I'd check out the Sauna again, if only to see Alejandro again. Little did I know that things were about to go down very differently this time around. First of all there were more working guys at Thermas in March than there were in the summer. Not sure why, maybe I just wanst lucky in August. I saw Alejandro again, but to my deep regret he had lost most of his muscle and didnt look anything like what he looked like 6 months earlier. But luckily there were a lot of other hot guys, such as this guy http://tinyurl.com/qhr6m7j%C2%A0 I had a session with at the sauna. He was very sensual and muscular, nice heary chest, good kisser, a mix that I liked. He was a good fucker and I left satisfied that night. The next day i went back and met the light-skinned Brazilian guy from last summer. He seemed in a much better mood and looked so great I just couldnt resist giving it another try. His body was just fantastic, just the right amount of muscle. You could tell he was not on steroids but just worked out religiously. I also liked his very straight, tough attitude and the veins on his biceps and on his neck and an amazing flat, ripped stomach. Also, he had a delicious veiny hard dick and wasnt afraid to use it. So once again I left satisfied. On my third day I met a real God named Tony. As I was walking around I suddenly saw the shadow of a guy towering above everyone. He had a shaved head, brown skin, and looked very brazilian (turns out he was). He was over 6 feet tall and had a massive muscular body. I was transfixed when i saw him but still managed to walk up to him. Hi was very professional and his English was much better than that of his 'colleagues'. He also had a ring on his finger, and he wasnt shy to tell me that he was straight and he sounded kinda proud to tell me that he was a 'professional escort' ... He is also on gay romeo http://tinyurl.com/qxpj7rk At first I didnt recognize him as he looks muscular yet lean in his pictures. But in reality this guy is a real god. If you like muscular, tough looking guys with really huge arms, ridiculous biceps, and a huuuuge dick, then this is your guy. He was rougher than the others, took me into a head lock as he was taking me from the back, and just made great use of his muscles while he was manhandling me. I couldnt get enough of him. If you are in Barcelona, you HAVE to meet him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members young11 Posted May 19, 2014 Members Share Posted May 19, 2014 just visited Thermas on Sat and Sun. First of all, the management was pretty good. Very professional and kept locker and bathroom clean. To answer axiom's question, you get a sandal, a condom/lube, and cotton towel and robe at the entrance. Sometimes the towel and robe are in the locker. In term of boys, a good selection but hit or miss. Anyway, I found my type, so it was good. Encountered some problems: some guys cannot get hard or perform. I guess this is normal but it is rare with well-reviewed escorts online. Here, it was quite common. The problem is time passes as they try to get hard and they say the time is up. I understand we cannot have the boys forever with 50e but come on, they need to perform to get the $$$. So be careful with performance and time commitment. It would be good if you agree on the expectations beforehand. Another problem is kissing. They say they kiss with tongue but they avoid when you start sex. And never toward the end. It kinda changes the entire experience. So it was a challenge for me to find the guy who kisses and performs. After a few trials, I found one but forgot his name. He was supposed to come on Sun but did not. I wish I knew his number...Was quite an experience because he was hot and nice, plus can perform and kiss. And finally, there was a guy called Michael. Italian guy, who claims his strength is massage. not very muscular, on athletic side, a good command of english, medium height. He was a bit pushy and offered my sensual massage for 40e, I refused because I was going to leave but then he talked me up for a massage for 30e. I gave it a shot because he said he was really good at massage and I would regret if I don't give him a try. I agreed. His massage was ok, not even close to the ones I get at professional spas. On the front, he excessively touched and of course I got hard and he sucked and eventually I jerked off while he was kissing me. So when I paid 40e because I was not sure if this is the usual massage or sensual massage but either way, he seemed to be struggling so I decided to be nice and give him 40e (his original price for sensual massage). Guess what, he said, he needed 50e because it was sex! Come on, he didn't get hard at all, I didn't fuck him, he didn't fuck me, what he did during the session was nothing close to what others guys did for 50e. I was just laying there entire time until I jerked off myself to cum. I didn't wanna argue but it really pissed me off because this is what I got for being nice...Anyway, if you see the guy, be careful! Overall, I enjoyed the experience. I really like the feeling that they approach me and sell themselves. It is a special feeling and you will get someone if you try a few times. Either way, one try is about 50e, so pretty reasonable compared to hiring someone outside. flipao 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members axiom2001 Posted May 20, 2014 Members Share Posted May 20, 2014 "...so pretty reasonable compared to hiring someone outside." Yes, I can concur. My sexual encounter or attempts were virtually futile when I was in Barcelona last October. My experience at the Termas was NOT very positive; I think I wrote about it here, but to the point of rates, I paid Daniel, an escort who's been around and who has advertised on http://www.gayromeo.com [barcelona] came to my apartment, asked for his money up front {I had E150 laid out in the bedroom.] disrobed quickly and did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING during his short stay with me. He could NOT get HARD at all. I was pissed and let him know it via my queries. My last evening in the apartment was the mere pits in terms of my being satisfied sexually! In fact, my sexual experiences and attempts were worthless overall. Had difficulty making contact and commitment when I'd ring the guys, etc., etc., etc. I'm glad that you enjoyed yourself. Whenever I do manage to return to BCN, I do hope that my sexual encounters and the experiences will be long remembered as well as my fascination with this beautiful city!! flipao 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members young11 Posted May 20, 2014 Members Share Posted May 20, 2014 Sorry to hear that. But I feel ya! I have had bad experiences in the past too and I hate it. There are ways to predict this in my opinion. Of course, not perfect but can reduce the risk. If someone asks for money up-front, just pass him no matter how hot he is. I've learned this lesson hard way. Now I will never pay up-front, just a simple rule. Actually, it saved me a lot of money and hassles since then ;-) Secondly, if you hire someone from Gayromeo, take a careful look at user entries. First, you can sense what kind of session it was even if it is positive. No mention of passionate kiss? Or someone just saying he is hot? Any mention of attitude? You will get the idea. Plus, look at the frequency of the entries. One in three months? Red flag! Also please write a review or make an entry at the profile. You can write something that sounds like positive but can inform some smart readers of downsides of the escort. I always write something, mostly positive either simple positive or fake positive; otherwise it will be deleted by the escort. I also see similar entries on big name profiles. In most cases, escorts in EU don't have enough english to detect the true meaning. We gotta be smart in this business too ;-) Anyway, it would be great if we exchange info lol By the way, are you talking about danielbcn? I contacted him once, I am happy that I didn't hire him...I just went straight to the sauna and had fun, so I never hired anyone from gayromeo in BCN.

episevilla Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 Hi guys... My week in Barcelona, late January, was very pleasant. I had the opportunity to visit the old art--nouveau Hospital de Sant Pau, vey closed to the Sagrada Familia, by modernist architect Dòmenech i Muntaner... Pavillions and subways are restored and open for visitors, whereas medical activities take place in a brand new building. And at Calle del Carmen, at the formar medieval hospital of Barcelona (now the Catalonia Library) I visited the Royal Medical Academy, with its impressive anathomical theater.Thermas was very active, aswell. Many young men, fro twink to muscle guys, mostly from Brazil but from other Latin American countries, Africa and East Europe. I met a very nice Brazilian from Bahia (Flavio, aka Pedro) and with his company and advice had threesomes a couple of times. I like this guy!Current prices are 40-50 euros max. Facilities are very clean, although too dark for my taste... TownsendPLocke, lookin, axiom2001 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tidewater Posted March 21, 2015 Members Share Posted March 21, 2015 First time post but have always appreciated the contributions of others here. Very generous to share such personal experiences. I have regularly traveled to Barcelona over the years and have always enjoyed visits to Sauna Thermas. Have always found a large selection of men (one noticeable change is that once most claimed Brazilian background but it has become much more diverse...Eastern Europeans, Moroccans, Africans but very few Spaniards!). In all cases but one, I have found the guys to be friendly, willing to kiss (very important to me), and relative generous with time. My one bad experience is a guy who demanded double the agreed-upon rate once we finished and tried to block the door. But, I responded aggressively and threatened to talk to management and he backed off. The funny thing is I returned on another day on the same trip and he was there. He approached me and asked if I wanted to get together again (the answer was most definitely not!). Again, this was a uncommon situation I think as I have found the guys to be friendly and reasonable on all other visits. I wanted to bring up one favorite from a trip a couple of years ago (saw him twice) and wonder if anyone else ever met him. He went by Alex (not a memorable name) but he was from Guatemala (a background much more uncommon). He had an unbelievable build and cock (I am a bottom) but he was extremely kind/polite/almost shy and so passionate behind the closed door (would kiss forever and would throw me over on the small bed and rim me without me even requesting it...though I certainly didn't complain). I am visiting Barcelona again in May and hope he is there (though he wasn't when I last visited). He had given me his number (which I unfortunately lost) and I have never seen him on gay romeo or elsewhere. I would love to hear from anyone who ever met him. Very special guy. My reason for the post is that I will also be visiting Valencia on this trip for the first time. I seem to have read in a few places that there is a smaller sauna there with rentboys but can't find much information on it. Can anyone confirm its existence (still open?) and what it is like/ worth visiting? This may have been the wrong thread to post the question but I will see if I get any replies. Again, can't express how much I have appreciated the posts of others!! lookin and axiom2001 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
