Can someone who has lived here for a while please explain to me what's going on with the public sex scene here and how, in a city this size, it's gotten into such a turmoil? Surely it couldn't have always been this way; was there some sort of concerted "cleansing" effort started by some misguided former politican or something? What gives? You go into the listings and every other one has heads up in it. If I see one more heads up I'm going to *spit* up!

Quite frankly, I find the lack of outrage over this to be a bit disturbing, everyone seems just resigned to it. I know it's not an easy situation and I'm not saying I know what the answer is (a new kind of Stonewall for the 21st century perhaps?) but this is something that's bothered me for some time and I'm interested to know what others think.

I've lived here for about a year; my former midwestern city having long since been sanitized of sex to a sickening extent. I definitely was not prepared for it in LA however. It's just not something I really thought of as happening. I love it here, I consider it my home and I'm very glad I moved here. I'm also very glad we have bath houses and sex clubs, given this situation.
