Not For The Squeamish: The Colony
Filed under: Eros - June 7, 2007 @ 9:33 am
In my last post I suggested that if you want to have sex in public and get your freak on, you should check out The Colony, an adult movie theater on the east side. But I didn’t really mean it. That is, unless you’re just super curious in an anthropological sense instead of wanting a hot, sexy experience.
First of all, you should never go there as a single man - this automatically brands you as a loser. Then again, it’s virtually impossible to convince any sane woman to go the place (of course I’ve been several times.) The place looks like a dismal, low hanging windowless warehouse, and sits on a gravel parking lot patrolled by a security guard. You can get a good idea of who is inside by the type of cars and trucks parked on the lot.
You enter the front door and there’s a crusty counter with a glass case of old pornography and sex toys for sale. The place stinks like sweat, cigarettes, and desperation. A crusty old man, the owner, is there to take your admission. The price is way too high - like $30 a couple. Single men are allowed in, but they are supposedly not allowed in areas designated for couples only. Of course single women never think to go to a place like this, unless they’re turning tricks. On “party” nights, the price soars to $60 a couple. The difference between a party night and a regular night is that usually there are more people, and they bring a gynecologist table out to the dance floor.
Behind the counter is a theater where everyone is allowed. It consists of two screens separated by a piece of plywood, one screen showing gay porn, the other screen showing straight, so men can stand in the back and play pocket pool and act like they’re watching the straight porn, but are really ogling the gay porn.
There’s a bar where everyone is allowed as well, and you have to get to it by going through this creepy narrow dark hallway barely lit by black lights. The bar is incredibly 70’s with wood paneling, fake plants, an old TV on a stand playing porn, a jukebox, 70’s wall art similar to the kind once found at the Parkmoor, and, inexplicably, a wall of 10 gallon tanks housing horny guppies. As you sit in your booth and sip your drink and fend off perverts, you can watch the male guppies rape the fleeing female guppies.
There’s a dance floor room drenched in red lights that is supposed to be for couples only, but single men often find their way in there. Cheap tables and chairs surround the dance floor, which is slightly elevated and has shackles permanently fixed in the posts.
Finally, there’s a Couples Only theater. Couples get a key for that room. Single men often slip in after a couple, and they gather in the room until enough accumulate to necessitate a bouncer coming in like an exterminator and yelling, “Single men out!” which is the equivalent of turning on the kitchen light and roaches scurrying.
The room is extremely dim, and filled with old couches - not the kind of couches you would get at a thrift store, but the kind of couches you would salvage from condemned buildings.
Very.
Dirty.
Couches.
There’s a filthy bare mattress at the front of the room, and junked furniture piled in the corners, though it’s hard to make out what they are - stoves? tables? The screen in this room is weak and pale, and the sound is terrible, and the porn is very old, so it’s like ghost porn. It’s really not the main point of the room - it’s just there to serve as a prop. The real reason of the room is for couples to get it on. I shudder to imagine what the room would look like in broad daylight.
There. I’ve set the scene. Next I’ll describe some of the things that have gone on there. Granny gang bang anyone?

Sometimes I long for the days of yester-year when information was not so conveniently accessable and certain lifestyles were better left to local legend. This happens to be one of those times…ugh!

I’ve heard that ignorance is bliss, but I’d rather know what’s going on in slaughterhouses, the kitchen at Applebees, and sex clubs.

Gee, it’s nice to get such an incredibly detailed description of the place (been there recently?) since I’ve never been before. I’ve known for some time you don’t want to go as a single man/cockroach because of the loser factor you mentioned. Nevertheless, I’ve been promised I could get a date to the colony a couple times before (for purely anthropological reasons as you suggested) but that never really materialized.
Tis a shame!

Woo Hoo! A woman after my own heart. My friend Chris said to check out your site and I am so glad I did! I took my best friend Ann to the swingers club in Nashville, supposedly to do an article about it…lol. But they didn’t have the “no single guys in the fuck rooms” rule, so there are 10 gangbangers who paid $100 a piece standing around a room the size of a closet watching a 50-year-old white couple fuck on a dirty love seat. Ah, peace and harmony, people coming togther, the wonders of dirty particle board sex clubs…

Your prose was so engrossing that I did not notice the fantasy babes of adultfriendfinder until the very end.
I hope you gather many cybersheckels by your links, Kinks.
Write On!

Reading your description turned off my sex thinking. Ugh… Bush could use something like that in his abstinence campaign. I only hope it doesn’t have the lasting effect that reading about meat processing has had on my diet.

TBK the Upton Sinclair of the sex industry. I anxiously await your AFF tales.
