I was in Beijing this past August ...
Being a non-Chinese who doesn't speak the language I found that many Chinese there speak English so if you are looking for some "action" the best thing to do is find a local guide or mamasan and/or do a pub crawl. There are many working girls, pros and part-timers, who don't mind making some extra $$$ and it is very cheap to hobby.
In regards to finding stuff online ... don't bother, I do my research and what I found was quickly outdated. The Govt monitors the Internet and censors a lot of stuff. The people there know that and keep a lower profile than you think otherwise someone will be knocking on their door.
Of course ...
The good thing about when I went is that the Govt was pretty lax in regards to enforcement given the Olympics being held there and many of the locals were encouraged to show us westerners a very good time. I believe that there is a rule that a local can't stay overnight with you at a hotel but that was okay.
I have to write up my exploits once more, backlogged again, and I will make sure that I provide further insight beyond what is posted above.
