I agree with you, I think it was better too. Fewer artificial boobs, fewer tattoos, fewer piercings, and sorry but I'm an old guy and I appreciate some bush. I also think every porn girl doesn't necessarily have to get something rammed in her ass in every video.

Massachusetts
 

Late 1997 my new wife and I went to Eastern Massachusetts so that I could work a 10 month contract. I started to explore the adult entertainment scene.

In Boston I found an ABS with a small theater inside. I never saw an couples, or women, there but it was a nice enough place to go for a quiet, public, wank.

Worcester had two old actual movie theaters that then showed porn, the Paris and the Art. I tended to use the Art. It was slightly cleaner, and I mean slightly. They were both run down and filthy. Occasionally I would see a couple in there. They tended not to do much. Sometimes a guy would have his cock sucked by his woman.

The Art theater had started life as an Opera house. it sloped steeply down to the screen, So from the ticket office come ABS on Pleasant Street one had to walk up a flight of stars to access the rear of the theater.

The Art theater was managed by a bossy, chubby woman who sat in a booth in the ABS downstairs. She always wore skin tight pants and tops. For fun I used to try to embarrass her, but I never succeeded. One time I went down to her booth and told her I really needed to masturbate and asked where could suggest I go to do it. She just looked at me and said: "There's a men's room at the back of the theater".

One Massachusetts winter was enough for us. August I started a contract in San Francisco.

To be continued.

Porn theaters are pretty much the way of the dodo in Japan, but back in the day, they used to double as normal cinemas and show 2nd run movies at a cheaper price. I did not know this at the time. There was a movie I'd missed and really wanted to see so I took my girlfriend. As it turned out, it was a porn cinema and they had porn flick adverts in the cinema along with the cinema being rather seedy. There was even a bloke smoking in the cinema. Suffice to say that was the first and last time we went to see a 2nd run movie at a smaller cinema. My GF at the time was a good sport and we did have a laugh about it afterwards.

San Fracisco Bay Area
 

Before we left New England, my wife and I visitted La Chateau in Meriden, CT and stayed at the nearby adult motel. We had hoped to see some live sex. Well we did see some cocks and a quim, but no copulation. I guess we were too optimistic about the laws of Connecticut!

So, August 1998 we arrived in the Bay Area. I checked the local adult press for information about adult activities. As a result we visited the San Francisco Power Exchange a couple of times. It was OK, but not the Sctupfest we hoped to find. Voyeurs outnumbered exhibitionist by a considerable margin.

There were several adult theaters in the Bay Area. I tried most, but found my favorite by accident. I was driving thru a semi-residential area of San Mateo when I saw what was obviously an old movie theater. The poster boards outside did not show scenes from the current feature. They just showed pictures of well dressed elegant ladies.

This warranted further investigation. So I parked and went inside. Sure enough it was a real movie theater that now showed porn. I bought a ticket and stepped thru the curtain into the dark auditorium. They place was reasonably clean. It had real theater seats. Behind the back row was some obvious homosexual activity. Among the audience were a couple or two. In fact I visited frequently and there were always couples in attendance.

That said, the couples isolated themselves and did not react well when someone sat nearby. It seems odd that folks come out to a public environment and then don't want anyone too close. So, from a distance I saw a certain amount of groping and sucking. No one actually had sex during my visits. But, this was the most congenial public masturbation environment I had seen in several years. Also of note was that the desk clerks tended to be friendly.

When we left the Bay Area in January of 2000 the Palm was one of the last places I visited. Sadly it has since been torn down. That's a pity because the building should have been preserved. It was a lovely relic from an earlier time.

Next stop Omaha.

DR

I agree, the doctor's blog is pretty good. And, eventually you will read about my adventures in some of the theaters he mentions.

Hamburgny69 asked about porn theater experiences, so I have been describing some of mine spanning half a century. And, there have been some changes over the years.

There was a porn theater "complex" in a city I used to live in —The Notorious Faust Theater in St. Paul, MN— that had a sot of combination of a typical auditorium theater as well as video booths and live show booths, and a book store as well, all in one complex.

The live show show booths were more than a little interesting: arranged in a circle around a platform, one dropped a quarter in the slot and the lights around the falls changed so that you could see in. A nude woman in the center would come to the window that was activated and and if one put a bill through he tip slot put on a show for the viewer. It was the sort of place where if you dropped something you would best to simply let it lie on the floor since guys jacked off and came in the booths.

From time to time name performers appeared there. I recall in particular Hyapatia Lee. One of her movies played in the theater, and she appeared in a fairly normal strip show in the theater, and afterward posed for Polaroids with patrons. She also worked the live show booth.

Considering that in those days porn was far less ubiquitous than it is now it was a very popular place.

Omaha, NB, and Edinburgh, GB
 

So January 2000 I started a one year work contract in Omaha. Now in those days, and it may still be the case, Omaha was not big on Adult Entertainment. However, I found somewhere for a theater wank. if you drive across the Missouri River and head south on I29 and exit at H10 towards Bellevue, immediately on the right is a Mega ABS.

In those days this ABS had an arcade and a small theater. The theater was clean and well arranged. I guess it might have seated 15. I got chatting to some locals in the theater, and learned in earlier years the occasional couple went there for fun. But, as law enforcement clamped down they had ceased coming. Nevertheless I enjoyed a pleasant wank or two there.

March 2001, we went to Edinburgh. The only adult facilities I found, and enjoyed there were the sauna and massage parlors. I highly recommend the London Street Sauna.

During our stay my wife and I wanted to enjoy some adult leisure time so we would fly down to London for a weekend of sex fun. We would eat out then spend Friday evening at, the now closed, Paul Raymond's Revue. We thoroughly enjoyed the evening of sexual entertainment. No real sex, but some fun simulation. My wife leaned over and asked me if I could see why the male performer was chosen. Like it wasn't obvious.

Saturday evening we would go to the couples night at Rio's Kentish Town. Enjoying the facilities with many other naked couples was great. There was one downer. In those days Rio's had a group room on the top floor. They always had, and still have couples rooms on the middle floor. So, my spouse and I made our way to the top floor. We walked into the orgy room and I was delighted to see one couple schtuping, others doing oral, and one guy was being masturbated by his busty spouse. My cock started to rise. There was a tug on my arm, my spouse wanted to go back down the wet facilities. She couldn't handle the orgy. I was disappointed, but marriage is about give and take. Anyway we had a good session back at our hotel.

At the end of my contract my spouse went on ahead of me. I arranged to ship some stuff home and spent a few days in London. In those days there was a facility called the Willow Cinema. It was one of a handful of new generation London porn theaters. It had a reputation for attracting couples and women. I spent an afternoon there. It was comfortable enough, but I saw no action other than on the screen. In fact for most of my visit I was the only customer.

I'll try again when covid is over
 

It's been at least three years since I first mentioned me wanting her to 'date' other guys and the progress has been very slow, and a little back and forth.

At one point, about two years ago, I thought we were about to cross the finis line. We had been out drinking (heavily) and ended up in an adult theatre. Things heated up quickly and within 15 minutes she had my cock in her mouth and another one in her hand. It was the first time I saw her even touch another man and it was all I could do to not cum in her mouth. After jerking the guy for several minutes, he started heavily leaking precum and once it touched her hand, she switched to sucking him and stroking me. If not for the copious amounts of alcohol I had previously consumed, I would have totally lost it, but instead, just sat back for the adventure. I reached under her skirt, slid her panties to the side, and started rubbing her clit with my thumb and fingering her pussy with my fingers. I have no idea why, but she abruptly let go of both of our cocks, jumped up and stormed out of the theatre. Once outside, it was all I could do to keep up with her, and she refused to talk to me on the train trip home. I've tried to talk to her about it several times, but know when to best leave things as they are. I was so tempted to lick that guy's precum from her fingers or to join her on his cock, but I an so glad that I didn't. I now know that it was too early in the process for us to have been in that situation.

Las Vegas
 

From about September 2002 thru March 2003 I was in Vegas. I had spent time there before, and have since. Although the last time I visited a porn theater there was about 2006. So my information is dated. Some things to understand about Vegas before I describe what I saw:
1. Las Vegas is not quite as liberal as it tries to portray itself. It's more liberal than most cities. But it has limitations. For example you would be hard pressed to find a glory hole there.

2. Often visitors outnumber locals in the theaters, so the vibe is not consistent.

Vegas has more adult movie theaters theaters than most towns. They very from very basic to plush. I know from my contacts that women/couples do visit the theaters and wild things can happen. But that was hardly my experience. a few time I visited the Adult Superstore at 3850 W Tropicana Ave. I used it mainly because it was convenient. The atmosphere was not great. But, it was somewhere to go.

One time a guy walked into the theater with a woman on each arm. They looked like they were dressed for fun. They set on the front. This looks promising I thought. The theater had/has rows of theater seats four wide. The party occupied the leftmost three. After (very) few minutes a guy further back got up and sat on the fourth seat of the front row. There was a whisper or two between the woman in the third set, then the three got up and left. I wanted to scream at the idiot who caused their discomfort.

Another time I arrived at the same theater and saw a couple on the back row. Later I found out that had heir hands on each other's crotches. Unfortunately they were trying to arouse each other with their jeans still on and zipped up. That got pretty uninspiring pretty quickly.

By the time of my last visits to Vegas, the Deja Vu strip club chain had started adding ABSs and movie theaters to their premises. The Deju Vu on Sammy Davis Jr Dr (In those days it was Industrial Road) had a triplex theater that was very comfortable. Each theater had several hi quality TV screens and electric recliners for seating. Last time I was there I chose a recliner on the back row, I stripped off and enjoyed a long slow, well reclined wank, while watching the hi def porn.

March 2003 I took a contract in Orange County, CA
