Memories and experiences of nearly 40 years of watching and having sex in porn theaters.
Thursday
Live Sex Show in a Chattanooga Porn Theater
More popular were the one-on-one booths where you not only saw a girl, but you got to chat with her on the phone, telling her what do do and listening to her talk dirty while she fucked herself. In some towns, there was even an opening in the glass for more "interactive" enjoyment.
Harder to find in most of the country were shows that involved men and women. Sometimes it happened behind the protection of glass. Other times, most notably in NY and San Francisco, the show was on an open stage. I have been fortunate enough to witness some audience participation shows in Mexico and Japan. I thought those days were long gone, but I was treated to a nice trip down memory lane a few nights ago in Chattanooga, Tennessee, at the Cinema One Adult Theater.
Handjob at the Todd
The Todd falls somewhere in between. It has been a Tampa Adult Entertainment mainstay for decades, although it, too, has gone through some changes over the years. Today it is a first rate, brightly-lit adult shop where giggling girls, shopping for bachelorette party gifts, will roam the aisles as freely as horny guys looking for some cheap smut to take home to jack off to. Years ago, it was one of the nicest adult theaters in town.
I was in the theater on a Thursday night, around 8, waiting for the area strip clubs to warm up. In those days several of the clubs offered "bed dances." That's another story. I was about two-thirds of the way back on the right side, watching some decent porn when a husband and wife came in. They did the obligatory pause at the back of the theater, surveyed the room as their eyes adjusted and then made their way down the aisle, stopping at the row directly behind me.

A Video Tour of Annabelles in Winston-Salem, NC
For those of you who can't imagine what the inside of an adult theater looks like, the good folks at Annabelles in Winston-Salem, NC have put together this little video. They walk you through the entire place twice. The first time, all the lights are on to give you a good look.
You will notice some windows with mini-blinds at the back of the theater. Those are private rooms with lockable doors. Couples use them when they want some privacy, or when they want to give a show but still stay at a safe distance from the crowd. Yes, that is a strippers pole. I have seen it put to good use on more than one occasion. No, there are no strippers, just customers with an exhibitionistic streak! Out back, behind the booths is an enclosed smoking area.
The second walk through is much darker, which is a more realistic view. That's the way you will find it when you visit. Of course, the store area is always well lit and well staffed.
Frustrating night at Annabelle's in Winston Salem, NC
My date for the evening fell through, and I couldn't get plan B to come through either, but since there is very little to do in Winston-Salem on a Saturday night, I figured I would go solo and run some recon on the place.

Wednesday
A Nice Show at an Atlanta Porn Theater
As I was checking into my hotel earlier in the evening I learned that there were actually two separate lifestyle parties being hosted there. That made me think that most of the "players" may be at the party rather than playing at the theater, but I wanted to go over and check it out since I haven't been there since they reopened a couple of years ago. Not much has changed since my last stop. I suspect that it hasn't been remodeled since Jerry opened the place, but it still serves the purpose.
