Most of the bookstores are gone and those left have no glory holes. A couple stores have theaters inside but seldom any real action. No clubs or baths either. I can remember some great times at several downtown on the "block." One store was wall to wall guys on weekends. All booths had glory holes with several large enough for 3 or 4 guys. Almost all good raw sex too. Didn't get pozzed at a store or movie and I always went raw get or give. Hooked up with a poz gay couple and they did the trick. Shout out to Dan Bell for documenting the adult porn cinemas and ABS around Baltimore. I never got the chance to visit the Apex and Earle Theaters in Baltimore. And how did they get that cum load way up there? 1 2 Quote
NWUSHorny Posted February 9 Report Posted February 9 (edited) [think before following links] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_Theatre_(Portland,_Oregon)#:~:text=Paris Theatre%2C formerly Third Avenue,with burlesque and can-can. Was my favorite now closed porn cinema, I fucked a lot of ass and pussy there, as well as occasionally got my ass fucked, a few times by some memorable dicks, but also had a lot of frustrating nights where it was nothing but jacking off, or occasionally some very tentative cock sucking. The weirdest thing that happened to me there was about, 15 years ago when they put in the stage for exhibitionists mentioned in the article, a MF couple that I was friends with and fucking both of them on a regular basis, went to the stage on a Friday night to get the wife gang banged. We had successfully got her gang banged in the cordoned off exam area, where if couples were using it they were allowed to invite other participants, several times prior to this night. The theater was packed, the cordoned off bedroom area, which was strictly couples only contained 1 couple in their 60's who were just watching the movie. The 3, both of them in their late 20's and she was hot by any standard and I walked in together, she got naked, her husband fucked her, then tagged out and I started fucking her, and the entire theater stood up turned their backs to the stage and screen and watched the older couple in the bedroom at the back of the theater do absolutely nothing. This went on for over 2 hours, all 3 of us begged the guys in the seats nearest the stage, she walked up and down the aisles naked inviting guys to fuck her on the stage a few times, he and I went into the smaller gay theater and I fucked him and asked guys to go to the main theater and fuck his wife, which sometimes worked on other nights. We were there over 2 hours and got 1 guy from the gay theater and 1 other guy from the straight theater to fuck her. The lady in the couples bedroom seemed to enjoy the attention, and smiled at the guys watching her so raptly, she probably had more fun than anyone. The only good thing that happened that night was she got the guy from the straight theater to cum on her tits and had her husband and I lick up his cum. The stage was there for about the last 5 years it was open as a porn cinema, but I only saw it successfully used once by a female that wanted to get gang banged and put on a show.

So, nice to know both of you went there and perhaps as norefusal said, maybe the three crossed paths there!!! I probably suck on both of you!!! Or got fucked by you!!!😁 1 Quote
Sfmike64 Posted February 11 Report Posted February 11 The Combat Zone long long long gone. Playland apparently closed in 1998. That had been a bar since the 1937 and gay since the early 1940s. 1 Quote
Vbguy Posted February 11 Report Posted February 11 The Earle was more wide open for sex then the apex. Rows of seats removed for more space. Nudity was tolerated and groups/gangbangs happened. Was on the receiving and giving end quite a few times. There was a gay oriented bookstore on the 2nd floor on a side street off the block. Had great booths and a theater where things got really wild. Was always raw there too. DAMN, it used to be fun. 1 Quote

I can't imagine how I missed all of this fun being had in Baltimore. Back in the day I would buy a cheap Amtrak ticket and head straight to Half and O Street in DC. I had always assumed guys from Baltimore traveled to DC since it was so close. I didn't know a whole porno cinema scene existed in Baltimore. But this was long before the internet. Quote
meetme Posted 3 hours ago Report Posted 3 hours ago This thread is depressing. And the thread about bathhouses and glory holes. These things are now part of historical gay fiction, like Police rads ending in paddywagon rides to the station. Furtive illegal sex allowed the Mafia to operate venues where could fleece gay men and t started to feel like home, but now they are all gone, or nearly gone Quote

Most of the current options near me that use the word "cinema" are just rooms with a big screen (often CRT!) TV and chairs they seemingly scavenged from a wedding planner. I was lucky enough about 15ish years ago to be in Toledo OH for a work conference and "discover" the Westwood Theater, a 1920s cinema that showed porn on the big screen with the original red velvety seats intact. I was probably the youngest guy there, and dressed like a slut, which seemed to attract a lot of attention. The regulars there on that day knew the routine: after the staff guy did his rounds they'd have about an hour of debauchery before he came back, threatened to throw you onto the street and call the police if he saw anyone playing. (I still don't understand that, the activity was obvious, maybe it was some weird Ohio law? I'd love an answer if anyone knows). Anyhow, after he (loudly) walked through, I was taken to the front of the theater, stripped, and spit roasted by numerous guys in front of the screen. Still one of my best cruising experiences! I heard it closed shortly after, but the memories are with me forever. By the law, managers had to make an effort to prevent men from having sex in the theaters. They weren't stopping it. Quote
