I came out (publicly) at Mr Henry's Georgetown at 17 meeting all the preppy young button-down interns. The Georgetown Grill was too sleazy then. Nights were Louis until the first Eagle opened. At 18 I discovered Naples male prostitution bar with rooms upstairs where all the Camp Lejeune Marines waited for their Trailways bus next door "making friends". (and rarely making their bus). I met my first 100 Marines at Naples and they were much wilder than the Army draftees I had grown up on. Then Jerry Smith of the Redskins opened the Plus 1, then Pier 9 opened, then 5 strip clubs, 2 baths, Gloryhole, etc etc etc. And DC became Sodom on the Potomac.
When I got old DC died. Perfect timing. I can now afford to fly to Prague and Rio for guys.
