Field Report: CVE in Gastonia, NC by OldBeatNik

Doc here with a new report from senior Journal reporter OldBeatNik regarding a recent visit to CVE in Gastonia, NC.  I was very interested to hear what was going at CVE, since the reports from my esteemed colleagues Alex and Lauren indicated changes afoot at CVE due to interference from the local politicos.  See that report here.

Being a regular Beatnik-On-The Spot, OBN is here with a report on his findings (both good and bad) at CVE:

2308 N. Chester St, Gastonia, NC

Hi Doc,

The CVE in Gastonia, NC is a great place to watch couples play if any come in. It costs $15 per man, women are always free. It is open 10 to midnight weekdays, 10 til 2 am Fri and Sat, 12 to 12 on Sun. It has about 50 theater seats off one main aisle with no couples only section. It is very clean and is well lit so there is no problem watching the theater action. The seats are relatively comfortable and there is lots of room between rows There are 20-25 peepbooths, most with glory holes. There is also a smokers room and a small lounge area with a 3-4 person couch and a 2-3 person couch, both very comfortable. There is a TV that shows a different movie than in the theater. Both show very boring hetro porn. The lounge is better to sit in if you want to wait for couples who don't go into the theater but go to the booths.

The Saturday night I was there 3 couples came in which none of whom played. One of them might have played in the booths but I am more interested in theaters so I did not follow them out with the crowd when they left the theater. They stood in the doorway when they first showed up. They came back into the theater about an hour later so they either left and came back or spent their time in the booths. They were surrounded by men when they came back in, sat for maybe 5 minutes and left never to return. When will the gawkers ever learn? The mens john was clean and didn't smell which speaks well of the management. I assume the womens room was the same.

All in all I highly reccommend the CVE, and couples, if you can stand/deal with the perv crowd surrounding you and are highly exhibitionist, (because of the lighting) you will have a great time. Straight men may have a hard time with all the gays, they are a real pain with their constant cruising. (I could say pain in the ass, but that goes without saying).

Have fun. Play safe.

Doc here again... Very interesting report indeed. Just like many adult theaters where the local authorities flex their muscles, the reponse is to low-key it for a bit until the storm passes.  Hopefully this is the case at CVE.

Do you have a report you'd like to see on the pages of The Journal?  E-mail The Good Doctor at emiliolizardo1@gmail.com.  I'll do the rest... Trust me. I'm a Doctor.
