Remembering the defunct porn theatres in NCR

{The "whatever happened to ..." thread made me think of this but I didn't want to stray it off-topic so made this new one}

In my younger years in Ottawa I used to enjoy going to the various adult porn theatres on both sides of the river. Working as a co-op student in the late 80s/early 90s I used to enjoy finding the different joints listed in The Sun (Citizen?) and seeing what they were like. I had roommates at the time so this was a better solution (and pre-WWW!) than trying to watch VHS tapes in my room, even. Anyway, I remember the cavernous Cinema Cartier downtown Hull (I worked in gov't offices in that area), but also Cinema Pussycat down St. Joseph in Hull and another one a little further down from that. And, of course, Majixxx Video on Montreal Rd. above Playmate. Various other adult book/video stores had peep booths in back with some of those also offering multi-seat theatres, of various configs. It also allowed me to satisfy my bi-curiosity at the time, and was VERY cost-effective way for a poor student to get off. I kinda miss those places. I know One-in-Ten has/had something similar but I prefer watching straight porn, even if the experience offers bi options while sitting there.

Anyway, I was curious what others' memories were for the Ottawa area

I don't know if Allison xox is still active as I haven't seen any comments from her in a long time but I remember she said she started out in this industry working in the peep show place that was above the AAA spa on/near Montreal rd. This was the only thread I could find but it was about live sex shows.

I was still a teen in the 80s so never had the chance to venture into those kinds of spaces. Sounds like an exciting endeavour. Especially the theatre option. I remember frequenting a couple of XXX rental places on Eddy street in the mid 90s. One had video booths at the back with a steady stream of men and a few couples heading back behind the curtain. Never got up enough courage to go back there. Missed opportunities it seems.

Yes, she was "Angel" there, I only saw her once (behind a plexiglass window that could be raised for options) and she was awesome. I had a great session with her, even talking afterwards. I haven't seen her since, even though I found out just a while ago that she was now Allison xox (she responded in the other thread here). I have considered it, but economics make it more of a tough choice now, as well as whether or not she's actually available.

This thread makes me smile. My experience dates back to the late 70's / early 80's. A place called Cinema L'Amour - on the Quebec side. You needed a car to have any hope of getting there. I'd just gotten my license. Borrowed the 'rents mobile and just prayed nothing would happen going up or coming back that would lead them to ask "what were you doing in Hull anyways". Saw my first "real" porn film there - Desires Within Young Girls, with Annette Haven. Those were good times. Never to be had again...

Good for you Ali. I never saw you but enjoyed reading your posts. You had great insights into this industry and always were respectful to whom ever you were discussing topics with.
All the best in your future endeavours.

Legit question - what actually goes on (or went on, I suppose) at these places? I'm not really of the generation that would have had any experience at these places.

Was it literally a theatre that showed porn, and various people would watch and jack off (with the occasional woman or couple to make it exciting)?

I’m old enough to remember these. Although I never went, my understanding was that it was basically a sausage fest. A place for dudes to go and jerk off around other dudes, and maybe hook up. No judgement from me, but not really my cup of tea.
