Beyond the baths: the other sex businesses. 1984

After their successful review of the local bathhouses, Helquist and Osmon conducted another investigation, this time of other sex businesses in San Francisco, including sex clubs. Once again, these investigators approached their work systematically. Their article provides a thorough description of what was happening in the sex clubs and other sex businesses at that point in the AIDS epidemic. The original paper was published in the September 1984 edition of Coming Up! (pp. 19-24). As with all the reprinted papers in this volume, no editorial changes were made to the paper and only minor typographical errors were corrected.
