Hi everyone, if you please have about 10 minutes to spare and wouldn’t mind answering 10 questions for me, I’d greatly appreciate it.

I would just like some opinions/ viewpoints on adult cinemas/ sexual entertainment venues and your thoughts and experiences (or even expectations) of them.

The questions are as follows and I once again thank anyone who’s willing to participate. You can message me privately if you’d prefer, I would just like as many viewpoints as I can get, thank you x

.

.

3. (For those who have been) What were your expectations of an adult cinema? Were they met?

4. (For those who have never been) What would your expectations of an adult cinema be?

5. Which facilities would you expect to see in a venue of this kind?

6. What would a reasonable price for membership/entry be for you?

8. What would be a guaranteed USP (unique selling point) that would keep you coming back?

9. Which method of payment would be best suited for you, card payment under a generic company name or traditional cash payment?

1. Do you think there is a market for sexual entertainment venues on the High Street today? (please explain why)

Not sure about clearly visible High St entrances...

2. Have you ever visited a sex/adult cinema? If so, please detail your experience in as much or as little detail as you’d like.

Yes, Fantasy Video near Old St and the one whose name escapes me on Brewer Street

3. (For those who have been) What were your expectations of an adult cinema? Were they met?

FV was pretty gruesome! The Brewer St one was clean, had a bar, two cinema rooms ( upstairs more quiet / secluded ) and toilets that weren't a health hazard.

4. (For those who have never been) What would your expectations of an adult cinema be?

N/A

5. Which facilities would you expect to see in a venue of this kind?

Bar, cloakroom, comfortable seating, play area

6. What would a reasonable price for membership/entry be for you?

Around the same as local swing clubs, obviously varies by area.

7. Would the location of the venue dictate whether or not you would visit? i.e. if it was on the High Street, or a converted office in a quiet area etc..

I refer you to my previous answer..

8. What would be a guaranteed USP (unique selling point) that would keep you coming back?

Clean!

9. Which method of payment would be best suited for you, card payment under a generic company name or traditional cash payment?

Generic card payment

10. Please list (if any) your top 3 favourite categories of porn to watch

Anything by Video Marc Dorcel, stylish but still graphic.

Would love a cinema, ideally should have a sex shop or pub attached as after this I think it will be a while before people are comfortable having sex with strangers. As to a location again I think near a tube station with parking and rents should be cheaper towards year end but if we have disposable income is another story.

1. Do you think there is a market for sexual entertainment venues on the high street today? High Street? No. In General? Yes - although permits seem to be the key issue here so with all the will in the world, this is a government decision :p

2. Have you ever visited a sex/adult cinema? If so, please detail your experience in as much or as little detail as you’d like. I was a regular at Fantasy Video/Mr B's/Club 487 (Yes, this is all the same place) - I also wanted to attend when it became "The office" but it got shut down before i had a chance - As a "Straight" guy a lot of the time was a lot of watching porn, avoiding creepy guys and waiting for a woman/couple to attend, but when they did it would make it all worth it - have had some fantastic experiences in FV - Also had an experience with a convincing TV there, though was less to my liking - I did love the seedyness of the venue though, that pissy, grimey cum smell as you enter was quite a turn on.

3. (For those who have been) What were your expectations of an adult cinema? Were they met? I first went maybe 10 years ago, I can't recall what i was expecting, pretty sure it was full of guys on my first few visits, I think on my 5th or 6th a keen elderly woman came in and took quite a few facials in a bukkake style event, maybe visit 15 or 20 was lucky enough to meet an absolutely stunning woman that gave me and a few other lucky guys blowjobs, whilst a few other lucky guys fucked her

4. (For those who have never been) What would your expectations of an adult cinema be? N/A

5. Which facilities would you expect to see in a venue of this kind? Toilets and a screen playing porn - Gloryhole could be fun and I imagine a shower would be welcomed for females (Would also recommend it only being for females/TVs)

6. What would a reasonable price for membership/entry be for you? The appeal of FV was it was about £15 for a week of unlimited usage - As i lived local and would walk home from the Angel, I would stop in after work and hang around hoping to be lucky - If it was an entrance fee per time, i would only go when i saw meets posted on a website, but a weekly of monthly pass at £30/£80 would probably be reasonable.

7. Would the location of the venue dictate whether or not you would visit? Ie; if it was on the high street, or a converted office in a quiet area etc..

high street is generally a bad idea, better somewhere quiet - though i think location within London would be more important (I would visit anyway)

8. What would be a guaranteed USP (unique selling point) that would keep you coming back?

The chance of finding a greedy girl ofcourse

9. Which method of payment would be best suited for you, card payment under a generic company name or traditional cash payment? I would always pay cash and i believe that the preffered method, but optional card payment to a generic name would work too

10. Please list (if any) your top 3 favourite categories of porn to watch

I am into Fetish stuff that would not be a good recommendation for an average group, I think generic porn with some bdsm and gangbangs would be the best playlist for a venue though

Finally, please state your gender and age range

On the bright side there is no cure for HIV yet we still swing, it's like a car, millions are killed worldwide in accidents yet we know the risk but buy and drive more.

If you want to start a movie house definitely is a market but you need something attached that would draw in a customer base.

Without going into all the laws as in the UK its like under Cromwell and his puritans at the moment so a strip club attached is a good idea but legally it wouldn't fly. I would do a nightclub/pub with a movie house and but totally hedonistic theme, over time the movie house will sort itself out.

I have never been to one and these may be uninformed views..but it's based on my observations on here and say the attic or chams which side clubs that have cinemas.. it seems to me the porn cinema is primarily a place where greedy girls go..and guys go to the cinema..really to wait, hope in anticipation for them. What's showing.. seems of secondary concern....so anything that allows people to know when others are attending, and facilities to enable people to play and clean up afterwards seems important...

Good luck..

London

1. Do you think there is a market for sexual entertainment venues on the high street today? (please explain why)

Judging from this site and other places I’ve been, I’d say yes. Plenty of guys enjoy masturbating in groups and some ladies like to join.

2. Have you ever visited a sex/adult cinema? If so, please detail your experience in as much or as little detail as you’d like.

Not a cinema, but been to clubs that also play porn. I liked one I’ve been too in Berlin that had a tv with porn at the bar (and drinks were included with the entrance). So people would mingle there and go back to the rooms if they wanted to take it forward.

3. (For those who have been) What were your expectations of an adult cinema? Were they met?

N/A

4. (For those who have never been) What would your expectations of an adult cinema be?

Good balance between clean and seedy. Free tissues would be useful.

5. Which facilities would you expect to see in a venue of this kind?

Maybe a changing room/shower if possible. Maybe a bar. Maybe glory holes. Not sure... mostly seating with a view to the porn and space for people to masturbate.

6. What would a reasonable price for membership/entry be for you?

I’d pay anywhere around 10/20£ to entry easily.

7. Would the location of the venue dictate whether or not you would visit? Ie; if it was on the high street, or a converted office in a quiet area etc..

Yeah. Quiet would be nice but for a night time space, would rather be on a high street where it feels safer rather than a dark alley.

8. What would be a guaranteed USP (unique selling point) that would keep you coming back?

Clean and safe. But also seedy and naughty vibe.

9. Which method of payment would be best suited for you, card payment under a generic company name or traditional cash payment?

Card please!

10. Please list (if any) your top 3 favourite categories of porn to watch

For a public space, anything that is relatively common taste. Straight to the point straight action. Maybe with some theme nights to mix things up and cater to other tastes.

PS: I really hope it works out! Would love to visit this place

Sex activities is covered in London by Schedule 3 of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982, which covers the licensing of sex establishment and Section 12 of the Greater London Council (General Powers) Act 1986, which amends the definition of sex establishment to include sex encounter establishments (such as peep shows). Therefore, to run a sex shop, sex cinema or sex encounter establishment

1. Do you think there is a market for sexual entertainment venues on the high street today?

Yes I think there is a Market for them in London. Since the closure of a lot of cinemas. There’s no place to visit to watch Porn and play. I’d prefer a side street entrance as usually people object to having sex related shops on the highstreet.

2. Have you ever visited a sex/adult cinema? If so, please detail your experience in as much or as little detail as you’d like.

Yes I went to one in The Empire in Huddersfield. It was ok. Mainly old men wanking away. I like the seediness of it but would prefer comfortable facilities.

3. (For those who have been) What were your expectations of an adult cinema? Were they met?

I was expecting it to be mainly blokes to be fair. I would have liked a few more women there but like most of these places it’s male dominated.

4. (For those who have never been) What would your expectations of an adult cinema be?

5. Which facilities would you expect to see in a venue of this kind?

Bar, cloakroom, shower, play areas,

6. What would a reasonable price for membership/entry be for you?

£20 - £30 for a day pass.

7. Would the location of the venue dictate whether or not you would visit? Ie; if it was on the high street, or a converted office in a quiet area etc..

Yes it would have to be accessible by transport for me or have parking facilities nearby. As stated before I’d prefer a side street entrance.

8. What would be a guaranteed USP (unique selling point) that would keep you coming back?

Decent films, cleanliness, range of people

9. Which method of payment would be best suited for you, card payment under a generic company name or traditional cash payment?

Card or cash.

10. Please list (if any) your top 3 favourite categories of porn to watch

Mature women, gangbangs, lesbian

Finally, please state your gender and age range

Male 32 years old.

Bloomsbury, London


"Unless a license is possible, it's a moot point in London."

I read through the requirements and laws someone shared above. It's "technically" possible, but one single line allows them to block it, and that is the "number of such establishments in an area" and the acceptable number can be zero.

I still thing a good and well prepared plan, and then a decent legal challenge could result in the opening of one.

I say this as I visited a few in London over the years, and also wondered why they disappeared. I spend a lot of time in Paris, New York and Cape Town, and noticed that NYC has also had a lot disappear over the past 10 years, but a few exist in bookshops and the like. Paris and Cape Town are great.

I've been tempted to open and fund one of these, as well as a gay cruising venue like a cinema.

To answer the questions (no idea how to double quote)...

Yes! This kind of venue is sorely needed in London. An anonymous side door just off a high street, leading to a nice sleazy basement would be good. Well laid out, clean, toilets, etc would be great. Perhaps a main cinema, some gloryholes, private dark nooks and crannies, maybe a cubicle or three too. Entrance at £10 to £15 or a week for £35 would go down well. Open from 10am to 10pm would work even.

If keen, drop me a message.

Yes I think there is a Market for them in London. Since the closure of a lot of cinemas. There’s no place to visit to watch Porn and play. I’d prefer a side street entrance as usually people object to having sex related shops on the highstreet.

2. Have you ever visited a sex/adult cinema? If so, please detail your experience in as much or as little detail as you’d like.

Yes I went to one in The Empire in Huddersfield. It was ok. Mainly old men wanking away. I like the seediness of it but would prefer comfortable facilities.

3. (For those who have been) What were your expectations of an adult cinema? Were they met?

I was expecting it to be mainly blokes to be fair. I would have liked a few more women there but like most of these places it’s male dominated.

4. (For those who have never been) What would your expectations of an adult cinema be?

5. Which facilities would you expect to see in a venue of this kind?

Bar, cloakroom, shower, play areas,

6. What would a reasonable price for membership/entry be for you?

£20 - £30 for a day pass.

7. Would the location of the venue dictate whether or not you would visit? Ie; if it was on the high street, or a converted office in a quiet area etc..

Yes it would have to be accessible by transport for me or have parking facilities nearby. As stated before I’d prefer a side street entrance.

8. What would be a guaranteed USP (unique selling point) that would keep you coming back?

Decent films, cleanliness, range of people

9. Which method of payment would be best suited for you, card payment under a generic company name or traditional cash payment?

Card or cash.

10. Please list (if any) your top 3 favourite categories of porn to watch

Mature women, gangbangs, lesbian

Finally, please state your gender and age range

Male 32 years old. "

Thank you so much for filling this out, I’ve noted the response and really appreciate the time you took x

"Unless a license is possible, it's a moot point in London.

I read through the requirements and laws someone shared above. It's "technically" possible, but one single line allows them to block it, and that is the "number of such establishments in an area" and the acceptable number can be zero.

I still thing a good and well prepared plan, and then a decent legal challenge could result in the opening of one.

I say this as I visited a few in London over the years, and also wondered why they disappeared. I spend a lot of time in Paris, New York and Cape Town, and noticed that NYC has also had a lot disappear over the past 10 years, but a few exist in bookshops and the like. Paris and Cape Town are great.

I've been tempted to open and fund one of these, as well as a gay cruising venue like a cinema.

To answer the questions (no idea how to double quote)...

Yes! This kind of venue is sorely needed in London. An anonymous side door just off a high street, leading to a nice sleazy basement would be good. Well laid out, clean, toilets, etc would be great. Perhaps a main cinema, some gloryholes, private dark nooks and crannies, maybe a cubicle or three too. Entrance at £10 to £15 or a week for £35 would go down well. Open from 10am to 10pm would work even.

If keen, drop me a message."

Thank you, I’ve been looking into boroughs which previously haven’t had any establishments of that nature set up and a few came to mind, I’ll message you either way, thank you so much for your answers aswell x

1. Not on high st but more discreet

2. Years ago. Not good, seedy, smelly, bad films

3. I thought the quality would be better. No

5. See 8 below

6. Up to £20?

7. Quiet area or office

8. I think there's a market for exhibitionism. Bit like a wank club with films being shown. Somewhere couples might be attracted to.

9. Cash

10. Lesbian, outdoor, exhibitionism

M late 40s

lewisham

I think the key mistake fv made when they went to Lewisham was not being honest with the council. They soon got inspected, were found to be breaching licence conditions and closed down. My suggestion is to talk openly and honestly to officers of different councils about the sort of thing you want to offer and the sort of location they would find acceptable. As well as giving you clarity early on it will build a relationship with them. If you get a rep for being 100% honest it will help massively later on. All councils differ - you may find one that accepts you in the right location. Not a total guarantee for the long term - Westminster changed their policy and decided to clean up Soho. But that was because the number of sex establishments was affecting the character of an important tourist area. If you pick an area where there's nothing similar, that shouldn't happen - although you can always get a Mrs Whitehouse type campaigning against you. Good luck.

I remember going to an adult cinema in London with Sara. It was early in the year and freezing outside. We took our seats and she was the only female siting amongst 10 guys. Within about 10 mins they undressed her and she was sitting there just in her knickers. By the time we left her boobs were covered in cum.

. When we get back to normal then I would suggest Kestrels / Abfabs during the day it’s a Kestrels spa and in the evening it’s more of a club.It has a cinema room I believe a film is playing at all time.It’s near Heathrow
