Flash Report! Raygun Conquers Long Island NY with Visits to Showworld, Fantasy, and World II Adult Entertainment Centers in February 2023!


Doc here, a man who some say once ruled the tambourine playing community with zest & zeal in the late 70's back in his home state of New York.

Speaking of New York, senior Journal of Adult Theaters scribe Raygun is back, and has submitted a GREAT 3-chapter report on a trio of Long Island adult venues: Showworld, Fantasy, and World II.

Take it away, sir!

***

Doc,

With thoughts of Lou Reed singing "Candy came from out on the island, in the backroom she was everybody's darling," I ventured out to West Babylon, Long Island, to visit Showworld, Fantasy, and World II. (Every adventure needs a soundtrack.) How West Babylon became a haven for adult businesses I have no idea, but this trio are within blocks of each other. The area is mostly one-story light industrial buildings, like the setting of my hometown haunt, 15th Avenue Adult Emporium in Chicago.

First up was Showworld Adult Entertainment at 96 Field St. Admission is $18 for a day pass, but for $20 your pass is good all day at both Showworld and Fantasy. It's definitely worth the extra two dollars.

When you walk in, it feels more like a strip club than an adult theater, and that's because basically it is. I should say it's like the back end of a strip club. There's no bar or stage, just the girls and VIP rooms. When I was there, there were maybe five girls, including one trans-girl. When not working, they lounge around on plush couches happy to talk to anyone showing an interest. I didn't find out how much they charge, and what they do I'll leave to the imagination. 

But I was there for the amateurs, not the working girls. There are two theaters, but they're really more like lounges with multiple TVs on the walls and curtained gloryhole booths along one side. The place has kind of a club feel but without the alcohol. Both theaters are divided into two rooms with plush couches and beds arranged with varying degrees of privacy. The larger theater has low walls along two sides which give a little privacy if that's what you're looking for. 

I was there on a Wednesday, so it may not have been the best night, but it was hardly empty. There were two t-gurls and a number of guys. One gurl was constantly on the prowl and I watched her give a couple blowjobs. The other gurl, the pretty one, I couldn't figure out and I think she may have been charging. 

After a while a couple came in. They walked through the place then picked a corner to stand in. She was wearing a plastic glow necklace, but didn't need it to be noticed. After a minute or two she pulled out her big tits and stood there basically topless. A couple guys approached but the husband berated them for not giving them five minutes before starting to follow them around. 

Soon they moved behind one of the low walls and she invited a guy to play with her tits. After a few-minute warm-up they moved to one of the couches out in the open where she started giving blowjobs and invited guys to come on her tits. A young guy with a big dick asked if he could go down on her and was given permission. 

Once the show was over I decided it was time to check out Fantasy Adult Entertainment nearby at 54 Nancy St. The arrangement and feel of the place was very similar to Showworld except that the theaters were a little less lounge-like and more space was devoted to the dancers with the addition of "peep show" booths. It seemed like a nice place, but since it was more or less empty I decided to go back to Showworld. Since they're only a few minutes apart it's easy to go back and forth.

Both locations are amazingly clean for adult businesses. Staff were friendly and security was good. I'm sure they're mostly concerned about the the girls who work there, but it helps make them more appealing to t-gurls and couples too. 

Finally, I visited World II Adult Entertainment located between Showworld and Fantasy at 92 Kean St., but I didn't actually pay to go in.

I had seen a post announcing a "big tit MILF gangbang" in one of the private rooms ($80 for single guys) and the half dozen or so cars in the parking must have been there for that. As far as I could tell the rest of the place was empty, just bored dancers walking around. It was a weird vibe and I didn't feel like paying $20 for nothing, so I said maybe I'd come back later but didn't. It apeared to be arranged much like Showworld and Fantasy with a couple theaters, booths, dancers, and VIP rooms. They apparently have private party rooms too (for when you want to arrange a big-tit MILF gangbang for example). It may be worth another try the next time I find myself on Long Island, but Showworld is more likely to be my first stop. That place seemed like a winner.

Doc here once again... Many, many thanks to senior Journal scribe Raygun for this outstanding rundown of the scene on Long Island.  Bravo, sir!

While the NYC scene is almost non-existent, there are signs of life on the island.

Thanks,

International Flash Reports! Power Law Checks Out Cinema L' Amour in Montreal, Fantasy Factory in Vancouver, & Erotik-Supermarkt in Frankfort, Germany in January 2023!

Doc here, a man who some say was once a regular contributor to the trade magazine, "Trampolines Weekly", bringing you the latest news in the jumping industry. 

One could make the argument that one of my favorite genres of adult theater reporting is from the international field of play. In past years here at The Journal, reports from Canada and Europe have been filled with intriguing details and some hot scenes.  I encourage you to check them out sometime by using the search box on the web version of this fine site.

I would like to introduce a new reporter here to The Journal, Power Law.  PL (to his friends) travels extensively, and has submitted terrific reports for Cinema L' Amour in Montreal, Quebec, Fantasy Factory in Vancouver, BC, and in Frankfort Germany, Erotik-Supermarkt

Here we go!

Hi Doc,

Long-time listener; first-time caller here. I have enjoyed reading about theatres scattered across the country, living vicariously through the reports and gathering intel for my own visits. Thanks to your hard work on our behalf, I’ve had the distinct pleasure of visits to the Paris and Oregon theatres in Portland (god rest their souls), the mighty Art Cinema in Hartford, and 15th Ave Theatre in Chicago, in addition to other visits to minor stars in the adult theatre constellation.

I travel a fair bit for business, so I thought it’s my turn to contribute to the collective good with a few reports from across the border in Canada and Germany. The following visits all happened during a spurt of travel over the last month or so. This report also represents an appeal for your fans to put more effort into reporting on theatre visits abroad. Here goes:

Cinéma L’Amour, 4015 St Laurent Blvd, Montreal, Canada
https://www.cinemalamour.com/en/

Cinéma L’Amour is located on a busy downtown street with lots of options for pre- and post-fun eating and drinking. Your readers might also be interested in the nearby Café Cléopatra, a divey stripper bar with some of the best mileage (touching everywhere except the kitty) and cheapest ($10/song) lap dances I’ve ever experienced. The entrance to the cinema is not private, but no one seems to give a shit in this progressive city. 

This grand old theatre is similar in atmosphere to the Art. There’s a huge main floor with padded theatre seating. On one side of the aisle is a roped-off couples section. The balcony is a VIP section for couples only, which I didn’t visit. As at the Art, there’s a lot of space towards the front of the theatre for curious viewers to observe what’s happening in the couple’s balcony (though sightlines aren’t as good as the Art).

My first visit was a Monday night, and I walked straight into the action. A very attractive, tight-bodied ~40-50-year-old woman with amazing breasts was naked and surrounded by a group of gropers. For at least 30 minutes, she alternated being fucked by her guy and blowing him, while accepting touching from the surrounding crowd and occasionally rewarding the exposed cocks with some jacking. Quite the scene. 

After some time in the melee, I sat back on the other side to observe and see what else might happen. A foursome of college-types came in and sat in the roped-off couples area, but they kept hands firmly in laps and left within 30 minutes. There was some nice showing off by a few couples in the balcony, with the usual line of viewers enjoying that sight from the front of the main floor. I visited again a few days later on a Wednesday night, which is trans night. It was a lot quieter, but for those into that sort of thing there were a few hot trans women enjoying themselves and others on the main floor, along with one or two couples putting on shows in the VIP balcony.

All in all, this clean and well-attended theatre is highly recommended.

Fantasy Factory, 1155 Davie St, Vancouver, Canada
This sex shop in the gay neighborhood of Vancouver recently opened a “theatre”. I was excited to see this, because Vancouver has been a blackhole on the adult theatre map since the demise of the two dedicated theatres on Main Street over 15 years ago. 

But I can’t recommend this theatre in Fantasy Factory. It is a small room, maybe 30x30 ft with a low ceiling. There are four screens, showing straight, trans, lesbian, and gay porn. The room is semi-divided with floor-to-ceiling panels cut with glory holes, and there are 8-10 plastic chairs scattered around. I took a quick look and was not turned on by the scene, so left quickly.

Erotik-Supermarkt, Allerheiligenstraße 38, Frankfurt, Germany
https://www.erotik-supermarkt.de
I had a series of meetings in Frankfurt last month, and was pleased to discover this gem in Germany’s hub of commerce. The facilities are housed in a nondescript sex shop, and include at least four separate rooms (each with screens showing good-quality straight porn, and comfortable couch seating) and a theatre room with a dozen comfortable padded theatre seats and several couches along sides and back). I was only able to check it out for the two hours before closing on a Sunday night. 

There were a number of men there but sadly only one couple. They spent some time in one of the larger rooms but within 20 minutes moved to a private room with a bed that can be rented for a small extra fee. This private room (along with one other free room with a lockable door) has viewing panels built into the wall that can be slid open or closed. This is really an incredible place to spend an evening, especially for the low price of 15 euros admission. I wish there were more places with this level of quality and comfort in the US. Next time I’m in Frankfurt for business, I’ll make sure to plan for a Friday and Saturday night stay to check this place out again.

Doc here again...Many thanks to Power Law for an outstanding first-time report here at The Journal!  Please keep the reports coming in, sir!

Cinema L' Amour is legendary, and Erotik-Supermrkt sounds like the kind of market I'd shop at frequently.  Unfortunately, Vancouver's scene has been rough for the last few years.

Thanks,
-Doc
