...each sell for $6 to $8. Not everything, however, is what it seems. The Institute of Oral Love mainly dispenses talk, and Wild Mary's Massage provides local stimulation only if the customer pays extra. On the north side of the street is the "Beefcake Zone" where male hustlers loiter outside the homosexual theaters. The south side belongs to the straights, 70% of whom seem to be Japanese tourists.
