NY in 1981. Porn heaven.
My first visit to NY, way back in 1981. I'd been to California on holiday the year before and visited numerous porn shops and cinemas in SF but this was my first time in NY. It was only for a week, whilst working on a documentary for a UK tv channel, a six week trip that took me to East Coast, Mid West, West Coast and lots of places in-between. I've travelled quite a bit in my job and always explore the porn possibilities of wherever I've been if there was porn on offer. The shooting schedule wasnt too strenuous so I had quite a bit of time to myself to explore, especially around the 42nd St area (The Deuce) and the often huge sex emporiums that proliferated there. Every other store front seem to be a garish glittery mecca for a smut lover like me. It was a few years after the time featured in the Deuce, but there were hundreds of book shops, film parlours and live sex shows. I was clearing out some old paperwork a while back and found a Mid-Manhattan street map on which I had marked all the smut shops I'd visited. There was a lot of ink on it.
I got to see a couple of live shows featuring a good range of fucking decent looking women and the blowing of some very well endowed black guys. I've shot quite a few bbc's recently but none were as big as those long ago NY ones. There were peep-show galleries but the shutter always seemed to come down just as it was getting interesting and I'd run out of money. The porn cinemas, showing much of the porn I now like so very much, were a bit rough, you had to be careful where you sat or tread. As common in porn as the woman offering sexual favours in the flickering dark is, sadly I was never approached with the chance of a blow job or hand job. Well, not by a woman anyway. Got a few men offering. I declined.
I had a great week trawling for porn, and despite the Taxi Driver vibe of much of the area I didnt have a single bad experience. I did have some amazing wanks back in my hotel room.
I was back in NY in 1994 for 2 weeks on a music video (its a long story how I got that gig) and to my great disappointment most of the porn had disappeared from the streets. Few shops left, cinemas closed, sex shows long gone. My hotel had a large selection of porn videos for hire, but I missed the sleaze of the streets. The whole area seemed to have been Disney-fied and rendered sterile and 'family-friendly'. I thought it was great to have been there in the golden age of NY porn.
