Actually u just have to pick up the local newspapers and adult mags and there are plenty of ads there.

My general impression:
SF is very liberal, that's why they call it the "gay capital". Guy and guy can be kissing in public and no one cares. But do beware of AIDs if you are into alternative styles.

LA downtown is extremely boring and unsafe. Lots of blacks. U better be indoors after 7pm. The real action is further up the coast at Santa Monica where the hot chicks are.

There are Little Tokyos, Little Koreas, Little Vietnams here and there and u may have better luck in these areas unless u are into Blacks or Blondes, then u head for the night club strips and try your luck there.

Play safe. Criminals carry guns here.
