I still have a photo of me with my arm around Lukas Ridgeston when  he appeared in NYC. And I won't forget flying with him and Johann from NYC to SF on a red eye. We all slept! (sort of togther! Just different rows!)

I visited the original Thermas - in Barcelona - 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.   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.   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.

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.

I went to Melody club a few days ago. Do not expect something exactly like Escape, since there were only 3 or 4 boys and they were not dancing totally naked, but stripping to their underwear, sometimes showing some ass, though. 
Models are the ones shown in the pictures. They are obviously available. Atmosphere of the place is OK. There is a cover charge of 200 Kr plus cloakroom 50 Kr. Beers and waters are around 100 Kr, vodka, gins etc. between 130 and 200 Kr depending on the brand, cocktails between 150 and 250 Kr. 
Worth visiting. Hopefully, there will be a wider selection of boys in the future. In the newly posted pictures, there are already some more models, some of them are on GR. 

Brandon Manilow
He was a famous Bel Ami model, only top, who fucked a lot of Bel Ami models. He never appeared on the scene. 
I loved his strong body, thick cock  and bubble ass and always found him very sexy. 
He was born in 1983 and started working exclusively for Bel Ami in 2001. 
Some recent pictures of him show that he became a sexy daddy ! 
Comments on him : 
 
Voted Top European Male pornstar nr 1 in 2006.(ETGM w.w.w Award - JK)Manilow's sexual preference appears to be to perform as a top for his partners. He has never performed as a bottom in any of his performances. Like many other Bel Ami stars, he has performed in a bareback scene (with Alex Orioli), though this is only available on the studio's official website (subscription required). George Duroy reported, after receiving effusive criticism of the scene, that Manilow and Orioli had been “offscreen” lovers for nearly half a year at the time it was filmed.
According to his profile on the Bel Ami website, he studied at a special sports school which goes some way in explaining his extraordinary physique. Manilow has an excellent body, built like a swimmer with strong broad shoulders and defined pectoral and abdominal muscles, with a slim waist and a compact, muscular bottom. He also sports an uncircumcised, impressively large penis.
His profile describes him as "the archetypal top, with a permanent hard-on". The profle also explains that on his arrival at the studio, when he was put through Bel Ami's obligatory sexual training, his trainer, Dano Sulik, became very jealous and said to Bel Ami founder and producer George Duroy "Why do you need me here? He already knows better than me!"
Many fans have noted that his finest performances have been whilst having sex with his good friend and former Bel Ami Czech stud Tommy Hansen.
 

BelAmi is now primarily based in Prague. Bratislava is used mainly for their Live Chat rooms, recruiting and photo work.
You'll find the solo, training videos and new model scenes are filmed at their Prague penthouse apartment; whilst the remaining video scenes are filmed when BelAmi takes a group of guys away to film large scale productions.

Has been part of the BelAmi family since last year.

Oh that's not California  Those guys are in Prague at the Bel Ami apartment; where for the past month they have been filming an "In Lock Down for a Month" reality series. With the most popular guy by votes winning 30k euro.
The winner Paul, his best mates Derek and Elio(pictured) live in Bratislava. They were visiting California together earlier in the year, but left USA end of February. Their trip to LA was to represent Bel Ami at a Porn Awards Ceremony and Porn Convention with Flirt4Free. Bel Ami sent quite a few guys to LA for this. Some took the chance to stay in LA for a bit, some continuied on a Bel Ami working holiday to Central America and Hawaii.

Excuse my inexperience, but what's with all the "bad press" about Eastern Europeans?
I had my best time with Eastern Europeans in Zurich: at Paragonya and outside of Paragonya.

Kaarst is only a short 20min ride on the S-Line from Dusseldorf HBF, and most of the guys stay at an apartment in Dusseldorf - so getting incalls to your hotel is easily arranged.
I would recommend that you check out the website first because all the available guys are on there. If you see a guy you like, it's definitely worth a visit!

I stayed in a great Airbnb right off Khreschatyk, across from Mandarin Plaza, which host a Tiffany, among other name brands. The boys are so hot there. Now I’m in Minsk. Just as hot, but the homophobia here is well-documented, so just being a tourist. Minsk is famous for its cleanliness, and that’s no joke. Big broad boulevards, prosperous looking areas and monumental Soviet architecture. Really very impressive.
My gaydar had more than a few pings, though. Especially the waiters!

I've been following Paul on Insta since he set it up. The kid is actually quite funny and his insta is entertaining. Based on his insta stories, he has an apartment in Bratislava and has been n Prague filming at the same time Carlos is; at BelAmi's new Prague apartment/studio.
When Paul first started out with BelAmi, he shared an apartment in Bratislava with Elio and Nils. He's visited LA a couple of times but has never been based there. Paul also posts a lot on snapchat.

Yes I found the photos a real representation of the guys - no complaints what so ever! 100 euros is pretty standard for Germany(surprisingly). Berlin has similar pricing.
Good value? I tipped after, if that helps answers your question.

I went to a brothel in Dusseldorf last summer. It sounds kinda similar to Why Not but probably less guys to than what you describe. Still had a lot of fun and will be back this summer for sure!
