Totally agree with you!
It's not that Sex went away. It's just that all the low end BBS at Yalan and SWL all upgraded. When SWL closed for renovation, the SWL BBS moved to Jun Hui, but even at that point, Mommies were tired of BBS being too troublesome and thus many upgraded to work at Lihao and mayflower and even Yihao KTV, setting up their girls to work in the 2-6-9 categories. BBS only slimmed down because they realized that as a mommie, going to KTV is more lucrative than BBS. At BBS they got penny change, they got to give most of the house money to the owner. But at a KTV they keep most of the girl's sitting and ST and LT fees for themselves. They are in an air conditioned room at the KTV and don't need to stand at some street corner and get harassed by LE and sometimes even dragged to the police station to be put in jail and needing to pay their way out.
It's really all due to the KTVs popping out in CP that has caused the BBS to decline. because CP has upgraded into more and more high end now. Thus, the low end categories for BBS is less attractive for girls to work at. Look at the BBS talent these days. Girls are so smart now, they work for 1-2 weeks and they jump ship to work at a KTV. Before BBS girls stuck around because there weren't that many KTVs to work at or recruit. But nowadays, KTVs are constantly lacking talent.
is it because CP is more main-stream? Well it's more of CP's sex trade has upgraded and thus mongers coming in have upgraded their spending habits to accommodate. But in the end something's got to give. As economy sours and mongers pockets are drying up, KTVs are now suffering. There needs to be a balance in order for CP to maintain it's competitive edge. Having a whole bunch of KTVs is not the way to go. You need to mix it up with Saunas, BBS etc in order to attract a healthy array of mongers to town.
But you are right, the even cleaned out the catacombs. Everyone in China wants to upgrade. Wait until iphone 5 comes around.
