Having spent most of the past twenty years here in LOS, the prices in the gay bars seems to have gone up higher than the rest of living costs and the services provided has taken a nose dive to almost rock bottom.
Most places, when you talk to one of the employees nowadays, the answers to many common questions is 'I Don't Do That'. Then, what the h--l are they doing working in a gay place - go work in a place for women!.
I am definitely no Cheap Charlie but unless you are looking for a total ladyboy type, or want to be a total bottom, very few seem to want to provide services as they used to do. When I first came over and for the first ten years or so, there was very seldom a discussion about what services would be rendered, (and I still dislike having this type of discussion) and when the evening was finished, everyone was happy!
And most bar owners and mama sans nowadays have no idea what activities their employees will engage in (nor do they care) - unlike the old days when you could get good information beforehand if you had your doubts.
But I still would not trade LOS for someplace else - just wonder what has happened to the 'good guys'!
