My heart used to race when I'd approach the building and Id get so nervous someone would see me going in I'd have to do a couple of laps around before I'd work up the nerve to go in. It was all part of the thrill though. <br /><br /> My favorite was when the they'd have porn stars in the Triple Treat Theater on the third floor. After the show they'd go out to the sort of lobby area and you could get a picture with them for like ten bucks or something. I used to have some Polaroids of myself with some of them, no idea what happened to those.<br /><br />I always thought it was fascinating that Basciano lived above the place. I remember reading in the NY Post ages ago that he lived 'on the top floor behind a steel-reinforced door.' or something like that. Of course they made sure to make it sound extra sinister but to me it sounded amazing.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08642802093591179969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-50730650726428205382017-05-05T15:48:23.545-04:002017-05-05T15:48:23.545-04:00Manhattan Rep Theater was in the building, they mo...Manhattan Rep Theater was in the building, they moved out the end of last year, a request by the owner.

Show World had two entrances, one on 42nd (more discrete) and the one on 8th ave. which was next to Show World Center. Coming off the 8th ave entrance you would immediately look left, pay a few dollars and gain entrance to the downstairs area which housed 3 separate movie theaters, obviously showing porn. Seats were on the left side and a small walkway on the right for the first 2 theaters and once you reached the back you had stairs to your right and the last theater across from the bathroom. At some point they torn down the walls and put in jackoff booths, but back then guys would shuffle between the 3 areas. One time I saw this guy in the 3rd theater completely naked, jacking off. I decided to join him and we had a jackoff competition while 4 or 5 guys alternated between watching us or watching the porn. Another time in the 3rd theater which always where most of the action took place, this guy would sit in the back and offer blowjobs to all the guys that walk by. I pulled out and let him suck. I remember coming back a few days later and using that same tactic. Great sissy fun. Also saw guys getting pounded, doggystyle on the seats. It was crazy, and rarely did I ever see the staff. I would sometimes venture upstairs to see what was what. I have some stories from then too. CheersFaggothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12422197634322007665noreply@blogger.com
