Wow - what we take for granted now - I feel like men "chanced it" and the choices (throughout 80's) were A. work the clubs for OOTC action (feel like we had more club choices in Houston back then plus oilfield was booming in early 80's); B. the Yellow Pages for Escort Agencies; C. "Massage Parlors/AMP's" - which were located on east side of downtown (before redevelopment), SW Freeway, 45 North; And D. the street walkers could be found on South Main near Dome, Airline Drive. Bissonet was still a thriving suburbia with an active Westwood Mall (Sharpstown not so much). Telephone Road has always been "Telephone Road"......Never chanced the "Personals" personally.

The scene is much better now for the client and I would think for the provider too with advent of the internet, screening, etc.
