Termas

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Termas has several meanings:

  • In Tibetan Buddhism, Termas are key buddhist teachings.
  • In most of the Spanish speaking world, the Spanish word termas means: a bona fide spa, hot baths, thermae or springs.
  • In Brazil the Portuguese word terma means sauna. While termas have a sauna, they are usually places which also include a nightclub where prostitutes work. Few of the customers actually go there for a nice hot shower, but you can get one, and are expected to. It is customary for one to put ones clothes into a locker, and wear a robe into the nightclub part of the terma, where you can choose a prostitute. Sex is usually available on these premises, on a separate floor or area. In some places in Brazil, the rooms must be a separate business entity from the nightclub (boite) or terma (sauna).
