Madison Young Discovers Lesbians In San Francisco

Had we known that San Francisco had lesbians in it, we would have stopped there on our way to this weekend's Sausalito Chili Cook-Off. But we must leave it to the intrepid Madison Young as she plumbs the depths, or somethings the something, of the Bay Area lesbian scene in "Lesbian Life: Real Sex San Francisco." More »

Potentially bad news for fans of escort review site The Erotic Review: the site's founder is currently on trial in California for cocaine possession and having a loaded semi-automatic weapon, although there wasn't enough evidence to support the claim of the prostitute he was found with that he had "forced her to perform oral sex at gunpoint".

Freedom Isn't Free in Fremont

As three quarters of Fleshbot's readership are male prostitutes, the eyes of this site are drawn to the cash-strapped Fremont, CA court system, where this week a male escort named Starchild awaits trial for plying his trade. The victim of a sting operation instigated over the Internet by two undercover female vice cops, Starchild traveled by public transportation from nearby San Francisco to the rendezvous location two Decembers ago.

Do the owners of the Palm Residences in San Mateo, CA, know that their new luxury townhomes were built on the remains of an old porn theater? We'd kind of like to meet the poltergeists that would show up on that doorstep. (insidebayarea.com)
