Adult bookstore/gloryholes report

rev_dark · #1 27th November 2006, 08:14 PM

It's been several months since I visited Louisville's adult bookstores (ABS). In the past week I've been to three and had the same experience at each one:

All gloryholes are boarded up. You now pay a flat fee ($5 or $10) to enter the peeps/theater area.

The ABS on Preston Hwy just past Outer Loop was the most expensive at $10. The hallways and booths were deserted so I went to check out the theater. Inside there was a hot three-way going on so I opened my fly and made it a foursome. This theater had a great setup -- there were some big cozy chairs and couches all over the place but most importantly there was a dark corner off to the side where the action was.

The ABS on Seventh Street near Algonquin used to be a totally reliable place for action. Now, with the gloryholes boarded up and a $5 entry fee, it's dead. When I went into the theater there were a bunch of guys there but they were all staring at the screen and not at each other. Not a good sign. Same with the ABS further down Seventh Street past Expo Five. Five or six guys just staring at the video screen in the theater, no action at all. Both of these theaters are poorly set up -- the chairs are all bunched together directly in front of the screen so there is no place for discreet action. No wonder all these guys were sitting around doing nothing.

Save your money; don't go to these places.

Has anybody been to Theater X in New Albany lately? What's the gloryhole/theater action like over there? I hope it's good because I'm heading over there soon now that Louisville has dried up.

Well, it sounds as if the ABS in Louisville are as bad as Theatre X. I remember just as short as a couple of years ago Theatre X used to be the place to go. Not anymore. I haven't been in a few months no really reason to go back. The times I have been there you see the same old crowd from sun up to sun down. Alot of guys are there but nothing really happens anymore. If you are lucky enough to be there when a nice looking guy comes in 99% of the people in the back attack him that they usually just leave.

This place used to be really HOT. I have seen alot of UofL guys come across the river for a little fun. But, not anymore. I have often wondered where those types of guys are going now for fun? I don't think they are hitting the ABS anymore.

If you like old dirty truckers, guys that are more girly than my sisters, or someone that has been there for 24 hours sucking every cock in sight then this might be a good trip for you.

$5 is not bad I guess to just throw away. I cannot honestly tell you the last time I had some fun over there. Most of the time I just leave without even going in the booth and taking the same load home that I took over there. I just throw those tokens in the parking lot when I leave so I can give those two old greasy guys that work that counters something to do.

Hopefully, Theatre X will be back to its glory days. I doubt it though.

If I had the money, I'd open a discreet private sex club.

Are there any safe places to hook up in public? The parks are crawling with cops, and of course the weather is far too cold for outdoor fun anyway.

Anybody have the latest scoop on the bookstores/arcades in Horse Cave and Radcliffe? The listings page dropped the places and now there's no info available. Any other good places near Elizabethtown? By good, I mean places that have a lot of GH boothes and horny guys that come around just to drop their load off.

Best place going now is the adult world on I-75 at the 141 mile marker at the hunstville-Oneida exit in Tennessee just about $0 minutes south of williamsburg, Ky >. Whatever your pleasure it is THERE !! Enough said !!

I've been hearing that Metro Station on Poplar Level has good booth action (gloryholes) and good theater action. I need to go over there and check it out. Hope the price isn't outrageous like the other places.

I travel down and up I-65 twice a year and have been for several years. So I've had some opportunities to check places out in LV. The Metro Station, last time I was there in Feb 05, had GH in a couple of boothes. Unfortunately, only one GH is at a decent height. But the action is very, very limited. It could be expensive with the dollar machines. And you don't want to hang around the halls. The guy is okay and doesn't hassle anyone unless he sees you in the hall too many times. Don't know about the theater but I've never seen anyone go in or leave. Not worth the money-. Horse Cave is way too expensive too given the lack of good prospects If HC wants customers, it should follow the lead of the store on Preston in LV and cut the price to $10. I'd still appreciate comments on Radcliffe and Elizabethtown prospects

I been to Radcliff and Horse Cave a few times the past few months between 11pm and 3am on weekends fri and sat and have gotten my cock sucked multiple times by many hot men. I have no complaints. Horse Cave is more money b ut clean more places to play they have the gay theater you can sit in and still get sucked or fuck in if your not scared of voyerism. I know i've done it multiple times.

I finally visited Metro Station the other day. All I can say is, WOW! Not only are the gloryholes open, but the management has actually installed handles on the walls above the gloryholes so you have something to hold on to while getting sucked off!

The video selection isn't that great -- only 32 channels. The booths are very spacious, though. You could easily fit two or three horny guys into one booth.

The cute woman working at the counter walked through a couple of times and politely reminded people to "keep the screens lit up," but that was the extent of it.

I went in the middle of the afternoon when there normally isn't much action at other places but I still managed to suck and get sucked here. I WILL be returning to this place.

For all of you who were missing the glory holes at all the other ABSes in Louisville ... Metro Station is where you want to be. It's on Poplar Level a few minutes away from I-264 behind a Chinese restaurant and next to a laundromat.

I visit lvl early January most years. I post on CFS and have found good sex meetings in lvl this way. I'm staying at Days Inn on Arthur.

Far as theatres, etc, are concerned, it sounds like Metro Station might be the best bet this time around.

Read my signature and contact me by e-mail if interested. Then I'll give you my cell #.

**** ... we could use a new gloryhole report for this town!!

Arcade and showboat bookstores in Louisville are now $10 to enter. The ten bucks gives you access to the booths and the theatre. It's nowhere active like they used to be before there was a fee to go to the booth areas. There are a couple of booths that have become "unboarded" but they quickly get boarded up when an inspection is about to occur.

Not sure about the other area book stores in Louisville. At Theatre X in Clarksville Indiana you still see the same folks in there that were there years ago with a sprinkle of new faces every now and then. It really seems to have become clickish and alot of guys hang out in groups in the halls and conversate. Go figure. All the holes are still there.

Has there been a government change to force the ABS changes?

If all the ABS made the changes, it would seem to indicate some outside force. Local governments can put pressure on the Health Department to close the gloryholes, and institution of restrictions (or excessive taxes/permit fees) on coin operated devices might have forced them to change their business manner. Unfortunately, as the customers move their business elsewhere, it is likely that the ABS will cease operations. It is a familiar story around the country.

Went to Showboat and Arcade the other night and both were dead as hell. It surprises me that Showboat is dead, because they now have two nice size glory holes in two of the booths. Only creepy old trolls and desperate guys around. Nothing worthwhile on recent visits.
Theatair X however, always has something to offer. Yes the annoying regulars that practically live there are there..but if you have some time spend..You can usually find what you are looking for. I always find action when I go there and usually more than one session. Most of the guys I hook up with there are travellers and occasionally truckers (some of them are hot as hell)..or married. Plenty of working class, big boys (what I like). Twinks are a rarity (unless you go really LATE on weekends when they get the bar crowd). By far the best that Kentuckiana has to offer. Glory Holes are open and they have two theaters (gay/straight).

I think your best bet is visiting mens resorts. Most are clothing optional and everyone is horny...
