Porn theaters

[PalmsMan]

So the nine months I worked in Los Angeles County I would return to my home in Tucson whenever there was a long weekend, IE. a public holiday weekend. I would leave work early to drive s far east as I could before stopping for the night. Under good traffic conditions I could reach the Phoenix metro area.

Since I was passing through Phoenix at the start of a holiday weekend I decided check out the local adult scene. I tried a couple of ABSs with theaters and struck gold with Personal Preference in Mesa. This had to be my go to place for theater action. Whenever I could reach Mesa on my way home I would check into a Motel, pop a sildenafil and head over to Personal Preference.

Personal Preference has two movie theater rooms each with a door into the bookstore and they also have a connecting door. If there is no action in the one room, it is easy to check out the other.

The first time I walked in to the theaters there was a group gathered in the far corner. I made my way over to the back of the group, and as guys orgasmed and moved away I move further to the front. On the floor, on a towel, before the screen, was a couple, naked, having sex. He was on his back on the towel, she was riding him cowgirl style for all she was worth. They were both slender, I would have guessed late thirties. She was small breasted, maybe a B cup. She had nice hips, but what a joy to see her thrusting herself onto his cock with a look of pleasure on her face.

They kept at it for some time. They would stop for a bathroom, or fresh air, break then come back and carry on. At break time they would put on minimal clothing before leaving the theater, in her case just a sun dress.

The management at Personal Preference (PP) are friendly enough. The environment is relaxed. The main rule seems to be no uninvited touching is allowed. Most times when I visited PP there was a least one couple engaging in sexual activity often several.

In all my visits I only recall one relatively tame evening. On that evening I arrived to see a woman kneeling in front of a standing guy sucking his phallus. They were both dressed although her micro skirt didn't really cover her thonged arse. Once he had come the woman left with her partner, evidently not the guy she had just satisfied.

A bit later another woman unzipped her pants, slipped her hand inside and masturbated until she came. She was sitting on a sofa with guys who were also masturbating. Once she had cum, she spent the evening wondering around the theaters occasionally sitting next to different masturbating men and engaging them in conversation. I have no idea what they talked about. I wasn't one of them.

Saturday evenings one of the theater rooms becomes couples only. Now you may think this is a bad thing. But not at all. Couples would work themselves up and then come into the other theater for some exhibitionist sex. It was rare for me to be passing through on a Saturday. But, somehow, one weekend I did.

That evening I bought my ticket then wondered around the product racks, in the store, while the the theaters filled up. I noticed a couple doing the same thing. They were both tall, she was a little flat chested but had a shapely bum. I thought no more of it until I saw them again later in the evening.

So, I was enjoying the movie and observing the occasional couple taking a look into the “general population” theater, when eventually two couples came in to play. One of them was the lanky pair I had seen earlier, only this time they were both naked from the waist down. He sat in a chair near the back and she bent over to give him some oral attention. Now I mean bent over, she didn't kneel. She was standing but her head was level with his crotch. This meant her arse was in the air and her anus and pussy were completely exposed to everyone behind her. What a bum, such a sight. It made me feel horny as heck.

Once she had her man the way she wanted him she sat on his cock. She thrusted herself onto it, soon screaming, loud, in orgasmic pleasure. I am sure she could have been heard outside in the bookstore. Meanwhile, as she came, she soaked his lap, she soaked the chair, and her cum juices were even on the floor.

Once they had recovered sufficiently they made their way to the front. As they passed me I thanked them for the show. She assured me I was most welcome. They then sat on the front sofa. I was told later that she sprayed her juices in that area also.

On another visit I was sitting on the third row sofa. Eventually I stood as did the guys next to me. On the second row, right in front of us, was a lithe young woman gradually losing her clothes. My guess is that she was the sort of girl most readers would find attractive. She was, I guess, under thirty, slender with no spare body fat, about a B cup and with a beautiful young bum.

Eventually she positioned herself on her hands and knees. A “fuck me doggy style” position if ever I saw one. The guy behind her quickly stripped, put on a condom, and proceeded to give her a thorough seeing to. At one point she squealed “fuck me” I stood there with my exposed erection, as did the guy next to me. Now and again she would reach over and give one of us a fondle.

On my very last visit to PP I walked in to the theater to see a woman standing, bending over, with her long skirt pulled up and a guy giving her his length for all he was worth.

Later in the evening a woman in a bustier and thong knelt at the front, given blow jobs to any, and all, who asked. She then swallowed the cum. I didn't avail myself. None of the partakers used a condom and I don't even want to think about what was lurking in her mouth, and I sure didn't want to catch anything.

That was not only my last to PP, but probably my last visit to an adult movie theater. The following six years I worked in the UK. My spouse and I did visit Rios in London a few times. One time we took a vacation in California and stayed at the Desert Inn in Palm Springs. There absolutely no public sex allowed. But there are plenty of naked bodies of every description, and a very relaxing, friendly environment.

In 2019 I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Early 2020 my prostate was surgically removed. Ejaculations are a thing of the past. Erections are difficult to obtain and never particularly firm. I can hardly go to the adult movie theater with a vacuum pump. So I guess those days are behind. We may well take naturist vacations. I now have the advantage of being unable to gain an erection unaided. So the fear some men have of getting one in a naturist setting does not apply.

bayrummy and Hamburgny69 wanted to know what the theater scene is/was like and what sort of experiences patrons had. So from my perspective I would say things are very different today than in the 1960s and 70s, In those days people were not so open about sex. Visiting a porn theater was the only way to see porn, but it was all very furtive. The experience felt like it was designed to make one feel dirty. And, I never heard of a woman going to an adult theater. Although it ma have happened.

IMHO two things changed the adult theater scene. Firstly sex became a less unmentionable topic. It is discussed on TV and to a lesser extent in everyday conversation. The other big change is today's availability of home video. First there were tapes, VHS and Betamax. Now we have DVDs and Bluray. So, no one has to come out to see sex on the screen. This means people coming to the porn theater want more than to just watch porn. My guess is that most are exhibitionists looking to show their bodies. Some are voyeurs looking for more than just sex on the screen, they want to see actual sex. I know both categories fit me.

Proprietors of Adult Book Stores are often prepared to cater for a more liberated, voyeuristic and exhibitionist crowd. My guess is that the main blocker is what local governments are prepared to allow. In most jurisdictions local authorities have tightened the noose around adult entertainment. Just a few like Mesa tolerate these activities. My guess is that things will become more restrictive not less.

So bayrummy and Hamburgny69 I hope my posts have answered your questions.

Well, thought I would chime in on this informative thread. Thanks for others stories and analysis.
My take : generally it seems that theaters and booths (glory hole style) are nowhere near as common as they used to be back in the 90s/early 2000s (I'm mid 40s so can't comment on any first hand experience prior to this).
It also is apparent that it is overwhelmingly a a gay/cruiser scene - hetero couples & action is truly rare, yet does still occur.
With the exception of the infamous FantasyLand in Tampa and a few other places like Berlin in NJ, it seems that unless a swinger style couple happens to go, one is looking at mostly gay anon scene.
It is what it is. You can still of course go and jerk oneself and relax, yet action is pretty sparse unless it's one of the larger, well known places.
I've heard many stories, yet rarely have happened upon a hetero couple or woman really giving it a go.
Have gotten plenty of intel and tips, yet my timing is off on trying to hit lightening in a bottle.
I've relaxed & jerked off on a few tv screens, seen some gays cruising in actual theater style settings, perhaps a few cross dressers as well.
interesting to read others opinions on all this.
Actual cinema/theater style set ups seems rare nowadays. Many charge a good deal of moolah as well for something that is not at all a given.

Not many porn cinemas in England but there were two or three within driving distance where I live. I used to go whenever I could without telling my wife (being sex obsessed as most men are!)
Most films were U.S. imports but at least in those days there were no plastic tits!
At one cinema they had a stripper twice a week and there was a scramble for front row seats and a line of erect cocks!

Eventually my wife found out and insisted on accompanying me (much to my alarm). There were men all around us wanking away but she wasn't fazed and never mentioned it. She didn't seem much interested in the porn though She likes the usual chick lit porn but nothing visual.
On holiday in the Netherlands I persuaded her to go again. The guy on the box-office warned us to be careful but nothing untoward happened and I enjoyed a hand job. The only thing that put her off was having to walk through another cinema room (for gays) that she said smelled of cum!

Back in England again I persuaded her to visit another cinema. More cocks waving about all round whilst she gave me a wank. A guy in front turned round and asked if he could lick my wife's c*nt. It was just before we ventured into mmf. adventures so I ignored him and told my wife later what he said!

[rereg]

would love to hear more about these adventures!

My wife and I paid a visit to Fantasy Land in Tampa a few weeks ago. She had called ahead to see when we might find other couples. So we went on a Friday night.
Besides the cruising gays, the only action was in a private room. The room was full of BBCs and several white women who were there to get their fill of black cock. The door was open most of the time, so the voys could watch, but were not permitted to enter. My wife and I were allowed in, and we played a little, but did not engage any of the other players. It seemed to be a group of regulars who all knew each other.

A few years ago there was a drive in porn theater just outside town in the country. It was kind of back in the woods so there was some privacy. We had a big old car that I fixed up that had a big bench set up front and in back. I should mention that my wife is a sl*t and now she keeps my dick locked in a cage, but back then it was free. We would go to the drive in on a Saturday night and she would usually wear a real short skirt, no panties, of course and a tube top that was easily pulled down. She would leave the window rolled down on her side and guys would stand close to the car and she would suck them off and swallow their cum. She is a great cock sucker. She learned at a young age that she could do that, satisfy a man, and not get pregnant. She even sat out a little wooden step by the door that she had me make to get the men at the perfect height. She would also slide her tube top down so they could play with her tits. Meanwhile I was laying on the seat and she was siting on my face. I am very good at eating pussy and she would cum many times while I ate her. I think the theater owner would usually get his cock sucked first when we showed up. I also think he came over to our house and fucked her while I was at work because they knew each others name. Usually at the end of the night she would suck me off too. She didn't allow me to jerk off while I ate her. (She says my cock is not big enough to fuck her with.) If a guy had a nice big cock she would let him fuck her in the back seat with a rubber on. She still loves sucking cocks but now she only fucks huge cocks. The theater closed a few years ago too like all the others did.

I went to one in my city a few times shortly after I turned 18, a little over 20 years ago now. It was a sex shop with a theater as well as individual video booths, and the place was open 24 hours. The theater showed porn movies but also had regularly scheduled live shows every couple hours where a stripper would come out and perform. I would go for the live shows, but I'd go and sit in the theater a little while before the live show started. I regularly saw guys masturbating in the theater, though I never did. These days, I probably would. I would get a real thrill out of being watched. I also saw a guy suck another guy off in there once. They came in and turned the lights up before the live show started so as to encourage guys to zip up before the stripper came out. I believe there was also a security guard in there during the live show. I have a great memory of one of the strippers I saw there one time. In my state, there was a law that the girls could get completely naked on stage, but they couldn't go completely nude if they were giving lap dances; they had to wear panties. This one girl flouted that law by getting totally nude on stage, and then instead of putting her panties back on, she just tied a sheer scarf around her waist. Of course I got a very nice lap dance from her; the best I'd ever gotten. She rubbed her breasts in my face while grinding on my lap while naked, making me rock hard in the process, and then she actually playfully bit my nipples through my shirt! I couldn't believe it! She was wild and it was a great experience. I was too shy to masturbate in the open in the theater, so I went into the video booths after the show and took care of it in there while watching porn.

Cool 1st hand accounts SyFoster. Just curious, where were these locations ? I'm in SE FL, one of the larger tourist centered areas of America, so adult entertainment was always around in one way or another.
It seems as if adult 'book stores' / theater places have really suffered big time from the internet & all the free, super cheap porn available to us Humans at the clock of a button.

Adult strip clubs are now common place around here and if one has the dough and inclination, then sure, you can screw most of the strippers. (not an inexpensive endeavor of course).

There are still booth places/theaters, yet like I stated, mostly gay cruisers, a few cross dressers. Hetero action is quite rare, yet it does occur per the store clerks I've befriended.
Also, one important aspect I've noticed and you touched upon is sadly, the stupid local LEOs are pretty aggressive in shutting down rogue, off the cuff degeneracy...truly sucks. Local cop depts. periodically like to do raids or hassle some of the theater/adult places...I have little doubt it's basically a form of shake down by usual shady local cops/zoning. I mean, how the hell would they even know about quasi-legal action in private property places that the general curious public would rarely wander into??
always bothered me because in any City, there are lots of other issues/crime to go after.

Anyway, wonder where they receive their 'tips'...the business obviously would not bring ill repute to themselves. I think the cops always have these places on their radar and when they get bored or have to fill out some manner of action report, they attack these places , total low hanging fruit.
There are a couple of true adult theaters around here (like live fossils from a bygone era), the screen is medium sized, seating theater style, yet modest # of seats. One other places, 'adult superstore style' catering to couples/women as well as rare section with private booths (mostly gays) and 2 living room size rooms with sofas, couch style, more like a very large TV screen set-up than a true 'Theater'. bit pricey, yet have heard of more consistent hot wife/female sl*t action happens. Maybe I will check it out this weekend.

No, they aren't. There used to be many more of them around.

For the remaining ones, yes it is, but that wasn't always the case. I used to frequent an ABS a few miles from me that enjoyed very heavy couple traffic for many years. There was always a sizable gay/bi attendance, but back in the day a lot of straight, working class guys passed through on lunch hours, after work, and after the bars closed who needed to unload, either by jacking off or getting blown through a glory hole. When I say "back in the day" I mean before the rise of the internet and all it's free porn. This was also before the AIDS scare. Those two things were mostly to blame for killing off the ABS/adult theater scene.

With the exception of the infamous FantasyLand in Tampa and a few other places like Berlin in NJ, it seems that unless a swinger style couple happens to go, one is looking at mostly gay anon scene.

Yes, any more that's pretty much true.

Have gotten plenty of intel and tips, yet my timing is off on trying to hit lightening in a bottle.

That has always been the case, even when couple traffic was heavy in those places. You could burn a whole lot of time waiting around for something to happen, or you could get a hit immediately after arriving, but generally speaking there was a whole LOT more miss than hit. There were generally better times than others, but still no guarantees at all. However, like a Skinner rat, when you got a good hit you'd go back and do the interminable waiting around for the next one. I can't count the number of times I showed up and asked, "anything going on?" Some guy would say, "there was a couple here 20 minutes ago and the gal fucked three or four guys." If I had a nickle for every time I heard that I'd have retired to the Bahamas by now.

Actual cinema/theater style set ups seems rare nowadays. Many charge a good deal of moolah as well for something that is not at all a given.

There's still a few around, but you'll likely have to drive to get to one. Google Dr. Emilio Lizardo's Journal of Adult Theaters. He keeps a comprehensive list of theaters and ABSs, along with current action and goings-on, but as far as I can tell, he's moved to Fakebook, which I refuse to patronize, so no link to him. As for entrance fees, eh, I have no problem with that. Helps keep the riff-raff down. 20 or 30 bucks isn't all that stiff, especially these days.

I'm not sure if they were called Porn Theaters or just Adult movie shows, cause they were all the same except for the material that was playing on screen! I even went to a Burlesque shows a few times, just to see what it was for a live performance and being at a younger age even seeing these mature women was exciting for me!
I went with a older buddy cause at the time these places weren't in the best neighborhoods!
All the places that I been, I never did see any females there with a guy nor by themselves!
But when there came a time that a GF that I took out on occasion's and played around with too, introduced me to a GF of hers and said she Loves SEX that did it for me! On that 1st meeting the new GF did oral sex on me, so when I seen the advertisement for Deep throat I thought it would be a great thing to view with her and I asked when I seen her again if she wanted to go and see it?
She was Ok with going but as others stated too, I never seen many people in any of these places and No woman!
I think we sat mostly in the back so we could view the movie and the other patrons too, without having others sitting behind us!
We both were Impressed by the Oral performance on the screen, but my date only did handy work on my cock there and never tried to go down inside the movie show.
It was the ride home or away that was thrilling! She went down and did oral on me, but nothing like in the Movie!
But she worked in the Medical field and I guess with plenty of Naughty women, cause she would stop doing oral and tell me about how the women at work all talk about SEX and what they do for the guys?
She was talking plenty on the women saying about having the guys CUM in their mouth and swallowing it. She told me that she has to listen and hear much of the stuff these women all say before she is willing to try any of it out~
This was the 1st GF take talked so much about SEX and everything included, even anal.
The other thing that I enjoyed about her was she was Heavenly Blessed on TOP with breast and nipples too!
When women get together at work or other places they are worst then guys talking, cause I now hear plenty about the neighbors Beauty Salon and all the women there too~
