ORIGINAL: freedomdwarf1 A lot of people 'in the scene', wouldn't be frequenting such places usually. Those in the scene tend to prefer more personal contacts and involvement. As for over the pond, they do seem to be more 'under cover' and discreet - unlike the UK. It might appear more popular but much harder to find. When I was living in the US, I didn't see one single sex shop or 'adult' cinema... not a single one. They are here, though they are going the way of the Dodo. In part due to the internet, and in part due to neighbors not wanting "porn" in their neighborhoods. Here in the US, we have some of the most strict zoning laws regarding sex/liquor in the world. So even the hint of a place that sells dirty magazines that "might" allow something more, would get shut down for infringing on those zoning laws. Porn being any touching, looking, near contact of one body part to another, i.e. strip clubs. And man do they have fierce zoning. They are out in the boonies by the waterfront and airports, so you can see why the few nudie mag places and video booth places are very close to the hip about any funny business
