You went to high school with several male prostitutes? Where was that??
There was a rest area near town and apparently it was a hangout. One was a preachers kid and another was a brother of a classmate. I was in theater with another kid. Young effeminate teens were a huge draw for pervs. One of them bragged he was bringing in $900 a week. He got pimped out and killed several years later.
I was working maintenance at a trucker motel in the late 70’s. I weighed about 125 lbs and even I got propositioned by men. You had to be quick on your feet because they would try to turn you out. The housekeepers carried knives on their carts and I caught on to that. Luckily, it was a summer job during college.
