Sadly, in the religious, conservative state in which I reside, AVS are becoming less and less available. Even the ones that survive are being hassled out of existence. The one that I recently favored, used to have a group viewing room that they called a "theatre", but was just a room showing porn on a screen with twelve chairs set up.

Still, males (and an occasional female) would pay an all-day fee ($10) to watch and do whatever... I am an exhibitionist, though middle-aged, I still usually am a very sought after individual. About three months ago, though never raided, the management was encouraged by the local authorities to shut that room down. This particular business relied on the theatre for the bulk of their income. The few video booths they have, are way to undersized and no GHs. The business used to be pretty good, but now, it may be lucky to still be in business a year from now.

In the 70s & 80s, I would say there were easily a dozen XXX stores/drive-ins within in 30 minutes of me. Now there is that one I just referenced, so it may be zero soon.

The US is simply backwards when it comes to sexual freedoms. May be time to schedule a trip to France.

I live southwest of Bham, and I used to visit the theaters in Eastlake, mainly Cinema Blue. As usual there was often a lack of etiquette there, as there is at most adult theaters. Some people just don't know how to act no matter where they go. When the owner started letting the place fall into disrepair I started going to The Screening Room, where anything and everything happened. I was just happened to stop in there on the last day they were open. Hated to see that place go.

Fucking hot. Would love to have a list of AVS's near military bases. I would service those service men right!

A friend of mine in the Bronx is a regular at an AVS with gloryholes where a lot of hot str8 bluecollar guys stop off on their way home to get blowjobs after work. Wow. Lucky bastard.
Check Fort Dix area in NJ

Maybe I'm just naive but the adult video/bookstore in my area seems to be--low and behold--an actual book/video/toys store--I've never noticed any booths of any kind
The ones I've seen put the booths in a completely separate area, such as through a doorway or up a flight of stairs. First time I learned of their existence I was in the store a while and eventually noticed guys coming in, going to the sales counter for some transaction then going through said doorway. They were buying tokens.

AVSs in Europe are very different. If you see a guy naked and jerking off with the door open, chances are he's expecting you to pay for his services and his john is outside waiting to pound you if you don't.

I was at one yesterday and everyone in the theater had their cocks out jerking off. I gave 5 guys blowjobs right in front of the whole place. If anyone is in south jersey let me know and I will blow you there.

I have never been to one . I see they're places like Philadelphia Jacks . You pay a membership fee. You strip naked and play or not . I believe it's men only .

Adult Book Stores used to be the Bath Houses of the 70's.

I thought they all went out of business once the porn industry took over the internet.

And not only the porn industry - but everyone. Just look at the amount of cam and web sites with home-made videos, etc. You don't even have time to leave home to go to an ABS.

Adult Bookstores are still in fashion in some cities especially with certain groups. Older men of a certain age range and closeted men will frequent the bookstores from time to time for downlow discrete play with other downlow men. I think dating apps and the readily available porn that can be gotten online has made bookstores lose some demand. Good rule of thumb is to be very observant when going because they can be hit or miss and pay attention to all around because vice cops will sometimes raid these businesses. A good rule of thumb is to avoid the adult bookstores around political elections when the politicians decide they want to "cleanup the community." Any kind of adult oriented businesses will be the first to be targeted by officials. You don't want to get caught up in a sting because it will show on your record and a lot of upstanding gentlemen have had go thru some legal headaches. At the end of the day it's about money and they don't care about individuals' reputations being ruined. I had a scary situation once a long time ago when I was being watched by a nice looking cleancut older guy who was watching me from a room but had the door slightly open which is a non verbal signal to join them. I observed him for a while before deciding that it was safe to enter his booth. I went in and he pushed the door shut behind me and immediately unzipped and dropped his pants. Not even a hello or greeting before he had one hand on the back of my head and the other hand pushing me down by the shoulder. Okay well pretty obvious he wants a bj which is no problem. So he's moaning and really enjoying me so eventually he decided to unbutton his shirt so I take this as he wants me to use my hands on his upper body while I'm sucking. I'm still sucking but I start reaching up and caressing his stomach, chest, nipples, back and my hands run across something that feels like a leather suede strap. It freaked me out when I looked up and saw he had a shoulder holster with a pistol in it. My first thought was omg is this a cop but I figured a cop wouldn't allow me to go that far with him as their main objective is to arrest very soon after discovering the intent of the person in the booth. Me being slightly nervous did not go unnoticed by the gentleman and he stopped me and asked me if I wanted him to remove his "service pistol." I then asked him if he was a cop or just a licensed carrier. He told me that he was indeed a law enforcement officer but he was off duty and it was only habit to have his pistol with him at all times. He told me not to worry he had only come into the bookstore for some quick relief and wasn't there on duty. Very odd situation to be sucking a cop off but it also let me know that cops have needs to and are not going to target those kinds of businesses unless they are told to by the people in charge for which they are only following orders. I sucked this cop completely off, he thanked me and was out of there but it left me hesitant to go to bookstores as often as I once was. I think something in my mind made me think that this cop was about to allow me to suck him completely off and then arrest me for lewd conduct but that didn't happen. Now, many years later I often think of how erotic the whole scenario was of sucking a cop off and not getting in any kind of trouble for it.

Adult bookstores with the additional porn cinema out back are actually increasing in popularity, at least in Melbourne. It's true that with the internet you can watch porn and have a good wank at home, but where else can you, as a single or a 'closeted' gay or bi man, go to both watch porn AND have willing hungry mouths close around you and move up and down until your cock explodes?

It's that social aspect, of watching porn while a complete stranger has his way with my cock, that keeps me paying my eighteen dollars for admission . If they had a bar there it would be perfect!

Good post. What you say all makes sense. There certainly is an added dimension when going to one of these places as opposed to sitting by yourself in front of the computer screen, legs wide apart and working your meat.

I always liked bookstores more than saunas because I am addicted to Glory Holes. I am lucky, I do have a good
location in my neighborhood. Clean and busy. The holes are big enough that you can see the person next to you.. And it's not too dark. If I don't want to have fun with a particular man I just leave my booth and go to another one. On the other hand I do accept if somebody aren't interested in me. Nothing can be forced. Anyway, it's quite seldom that I leave the store without getting release...
