Doc here with a fantastic Couple's Flash report from regular contributors and friends of The Good Doctor, M&T.
M&T just returned from a trip back East, where they found themselves in Hillside, NJ (near Newark, and a part of the country I am very familiar with).
However, M&T found a treasure I never knew existed: 22 Skidoo. This place sounds great, but I will let M&T tell you in their own words.
Take it away, kids!

Hi Doc!
We hope you enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving! We did!
We have recently returned from our pilgrimage to New Jersey and wanted to let you know we found an adult venue that you may be interested to research. It is called 22 Skidoo Video (640 US Highway 22, Hillside, NJ, tel.908-810-0680). Before I describe the place and our experience let me add that the current 22 Skidoo is/was somehow loosely connected with Moviethon Video News. While Moviethon caters to gays, 22 Skidoo caters to straights & couples. We initially walked into Moviethon and looked around not knowing that 22 Skidoo even existed. We began talking with the clerk behind the counter who very nicely informed us that if we were looking for couple’s action we needed to go across the street and down the block to 22 Skidoo. So we did.

| 22 Skidoo Hillside, NJ |
22 Skidoo is located in a 3 storefront strip center of which 22 Skidoo has taken over 2 of the storefronts. In its past life one of these two stores had been built out to be a message parlor (hold that thought for a moment, I’ll get back to it). You enter 22 Skidoo through the door farthest to the right off a small parking lot. You cannot see through any of the front plate-glass windows from the outside.
Upon entering you have no idea that 22 Skidoo occupies more than one storefront of the strip center and it’s not immediate obvious otherwise. Entering you find yourself in a very typical seedy adult video store (not particularly well cared for) with a clerk stationed on a raised platform behind a glass counter display case.
The area directly in front of the clerk’s counter is exactly what you’d expect… racks of porn dvds to be purchased or rented, a couple of racks of men’s magazines, and a small area of sex toys for sale. At the back of the store is a dimly lit corridor of maybe a dozen arcade style video booths (maybe 6 or 7 on each side) with full doors. The booths looked well used, years old, and not diligently cleaned often over those years. The clerk, from his booth in the front, can look directly down the center of the arcade corridor in the back. Okay, you got the picture… similar to 95% of the adult book/video stores in which you have ever been. However…
Upon talking with the very nice clerk, a young African-American man named Dennis, we learned that until recently “they” (whatever that means?) had been physically located across the street at Moviethon but had moved into this existing space, catered to couples and straight singles, and arranged couples/singles parties on premises.
“Wait, back up,” we asked, “couples come here to play?” He confirmed that was correct, that he was expecting several couples to arrive soon, and offered “Tell me what you like in the way of single men and I’ll make sure they’re here within the hour.” “Excuse us, but where would all this happen?” we asked curiously, looking around, seeing nothing but a dingy adult video store. (If “they” had recently taken over this space it was obviously already an adult video store. No new construction.) He invited us to go down to video booth #3 and he’d buzz us through to the party area.
The door to video booth #3 was on the left side of the row of booths and looked like every other grungy video booth door along the corridor. The door buzzed, we opened it, and walked through what had been a video booth into a hallway. (Okay, return to the ‘originally built out as massage parlor’ thought.) Dennis met us back there and gave us the tour.
On the right were a bathroom and storage room, and straight ahead a laundry room. The hallway then turned left (back toward what would be the front of the original middle storefront). On one side of the hallway were 3 small rooms and on the other 2 rooms, each with flat screen TVs mounted on the wall with buttons for 5 or 6 video choices, all straight porn. Each room had couches or loveseats, and overstuffed lounge chairs. The end of the hallway opened up to a little larger area with a very big flat screen TV playing straight porn, a couch facing the TV and chairs here and there. We told Dennis that we were intrigued and would be back a little later. “Oh, and how much is the entrance fee?” As it turns out, it is free for couples and $40 for single men. We left to freshen up at our hotel.
When we returned we were the second couple to arrive. Maybe nine or ten single men were already present. I assume word had gone out that couples were coming (no pun intended)… A third couple arrived shortly after we did. I think we were the only non-regulars. The first couple spread out a sheet on the couch in the larger area in front of the big flat screen. She (very pretty with impressive natural breasts) stripped completely naked and waited on the couch for her man to give permission to which single men in what order got to spend time with her. The regulars seemed to know the routine.
We took a smaller room closest to the larger area. And the third couple took the room next to ours. Shortly, the third couple relocated into our room with us along with a number of single men. A great time was had by all. And by the end of the evening (closing time is 10:00 PM, terribly early) everyone who hadn’t left (including us) all ended up in the larger central area with the large flat screen. Fun, fun, fun! We are actually looking forward to returning the next time we are in the area. Hopefully “they” can make a go of it.
Anyway, we didn’t know if you were aware of this place? We thought we’d at least pass the name, address and phone number along to you to research if you’re interested.

Doc here again... Many, many thanks for a great Couple's Flash Report from M&T. I have gotten to know M&T over the last couple of years, and they are regulars at 15th Ave Adult Theater in Chicago. M is a petite hottie with long wavy brunette hair, and is just as nice as she is naughty. If one were so inclined, you will find a few reports I have written about them in the archive. M&T are great people... Thanks again for the great report!
Lastly, I have added 22 Skidoo to the database.
Thanks,
Doc
