What is "BBS"

[jennifer L]

If you wanna get technical, BBS , in the computer sense at least, stands for Bulletin Board System. For all intents and purposes, it's what we would call a "forum" today. They were big in the U.S. in the early 90's , in the days before the internet, where instead of a moderated website, everybody would dial up to some dudes house who had a server. I guess Japan just kept the terminology, while in the US it became archaeic.

And after reading pretty much every post in the China forum, it looks like Sammon hit it right on the head in the second post about what BBS stands for: Brothels (in) Barber Shops. That seems to be consistent with the way it is used.

Indientally, I was in Fujian, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou back in 2000 and I didn't notice any of these types of barber shops. All action was in-hotel,or from the KTV places.

From what i know, BBS is a popular kind of forum kind of thingy whereby people can chat live. Something between the cross of a forum and MIRC i guess? It's pretty popular in japan, and i think china as well. Well, that is the only thing i can think of about BBS in a computer lingo. Try wikipedia, who knows you might find out more.

P.S: BBBJ = bare back blow job

I think it's bare blowjobs, i.e. without condoms.

I suppose,

It sounds like one of the better value propositions in Shenzhen. Life is full of risks. Common sense usually wins the day.

I guess apartment girls. I don't know.

Take out?
Be careful if you are doing that. Do not go by yourself into alleyways whatever the temptation is. There are lots of scams going on.
Most common one is they will not so much threaten to harm you but they will threaten to call the police saying you did something or the other.
I generally stay away from all these pimps and so called mamasans on the street.

There are plenty of girls you meet on the street,bars,discos,karaoakes,shopping centers etc. Make eye contact and smile.

I am talking about the places in downtown Shenzhen where a lady (pimp) asks you if your looking for girls then she takes you to an apartment and brings in girls from around the general area. You then take the girl of your choice in one of the rooms of the apartment or perhaps back to your hotel.

Hi there,

I have been reading some interesting threads on the action in China and I keep seeing the term "BBS" come up. I think it has something to do with Brothels but it is kind of frustrating me that I don't know what it stands for. Can anyone enlighten me?
