If so, how the hell did it work? Theres always that admonition to see well reviewed providers, how the hell did that work before the internets?
This guidebook to New York City's attractions, published anonymously in 1870, had nothing to say about Central Park or the Croton Aqueduct. But it had everything to say about the "seven beautiful young lady scholars" residing at the Ladies' Seminary on West 27th Street and other women-for-hire vying for a gentleman's attention and dollars. And the reviews seem to have been honest: "Readers who insisted on seeing 111 Spring Street for themselves were cautioned that they would encounter "the lowest class of courtezans" there and a crowd of "roughs and rowdies, and gentlemen who turn their shirts wrong side out when the other side is dirty."" And several other similar publications in the New York Public Library. Oh crap, I did it again. A "library" is a big building with books inside which is where people used to go to read stuff before the internet.

I remember the old days before they were invented and I had to put on my leather sandals and cruise the dusty streets in my two-horse chariots looking for wenches in provocative togas..
I definitely agreed with the statement but my first thought was "People actually talked with one another." and also used phones and pagers or checked out the popular hot spot and talked in code -- a bit like we still do on the internet....

Oh , there is plenty of evidence that the one who you do not mention was the type that judged not and enjoyed hanging with the people from the streets more that the " respectable " types. But there is really no evidence that Mary Magdalene was a practitioner of the ancient and honorable profession.
The early church made up that myth to discredit her and women in general. Wanted to be sure the male & only the male hierarchy was acknowledge.
Maybe even his wife. But that possibility reeeeely freaks them out. BTW....their are Biblical scholars ( though kept on the fringes) that have speculations about the boy group he put together. There are especially some interesting debates about St Paul
Being the old-timer that I am, used the Phoenix, for more 'fancy' ladies, probably the equivalent of todays escorts. There was always the old combat zone in Boston, never have a problem picking up a willing lady there, of course had to be careful you didn't pick up something a bit less desirable.
under Escorts. They also here in Chicago Had the reader, which was a street magazine that you could get for free from stands or people would pass them out and ask you for 25 cents. Pretty much was all agency, massage parlors, and street action.
The internet just made it more available to the masses, safer for the hobbyist and providers by providing better avenues for screening either the provider you wish to see or the gent you may potentially meet. Ad sites were few and far when I went Indie, but I can say that the industry has exploded! Tons of ladies, tons of gents, more ad sites then I can count and a million different ways to verify a lady or guest depending on your own comfort levels
There were usually alternative publications you could pick up at newsstands that had advertisements in the back. There were also escort services that advertised in the phone book. I remember the first time I went to Las Vegas and marveled at the adds for all the escorts. Glad I decided to begin enjoying the hobby during the internet age.
