Good-bye NYC Adult Video Stores and Bookshops

Posting this for a friend who loved the old, seedy NYC. This is the final end for the few remaining survivors of that era. Young gays will never understand the delights of the sexual playground that existed there.

Sad! If people disapprove, don’t enter!

I wonder if they will mount an appeal to the US Supreme Court. See how our new Justices will vote. Hmmm

Thank you for sharing this, BJ. I should write something about it. It is very, very sad. It was NYC the American city I fell in love with back in 1993. I am aware that in the 90s the prudish attack was well advanced and winning, but the city still was a sex paradise.

There’s still a number of them around my office in Times Square. Would be surprising to see them shut down honestly.

I completely agree. But, I took buses from the port authority in late 1960s and early 1970s, 42th Street was dangerous at night and even the port authority was dicey

I'm confused. That article is more than a year old... did something happen recently?

Yesterday's porn shops are today's vaping stores, just like the shelf room for fruity drinks in the supermarket have been squeezed out by energy drinks. Give me Jeff Stryker in a peep show booth on my screen with a thick 8" cock through the circle in the neighboring cubicle being rubbed out while downing a pineapple Fanta. Man I miss the early 90s!

I've always been curious about the cruising that goes on in those stores., particularly the ones with booths. Don't want to participate, just watch.

WestWorld on West Side Hwy and Charlton was fun.

I had not noticed the date. Does anyone have a fresher update about sex shops in NYC?

 

By the way, does the Bijou Theater still exist? I have to go back to Manhattan and explore my caves fro the 90s.
