There you go again! You always - always - regard those participating in the porn industry as being agressively poor with no other options. Must be that these are the only ones you see or enjoy seeing. Perhaps because you can beat their price down to the bare minimum. LOL
Plenty of bars open to the street. More than in Bangkok or Pattaya although obviously less so in the winter months. Use a good website to discover where since, like Thailand, the gay scene in most cities is mostly located in one or two primary areas. Rent boys, yes, although few bars have stages, Far easier and far greater selection with oftenmore revealed on the host bar websites. Go and find out before your moralising on the Japanese gay scene only being for the Japanese.
