(221) Murphy's Manor - Jeff Answers a Classified Ad



In the eighties, sex ads were part of almost every local gay newspaper. What has changed?

 Most gay men were closeted, As a matter of practice, they were secretive about sex. If you wanted to meet someone, what option did you have but going to the baths, going to the bars, or answering ads?

 I think we were easier to shock in the 1980s. Today we all know the sort of thing exists, but we just ignore it. Or is it just that I have aged by 35 years?
