Visited: Thursday Afternoon

Well, I had been reading about this place for years and decided with a free Thursday afternoon that I'd head over and see what all the fuss was about. It's quite a drive for me (3-4 hours) and so I had some other activities also planned in the Philadelphia area but I stopped in here first. As others have written, this is NOT a strip club, per se, but an adult video/sex toy shop that has girls in booths. I never went to the Peep Shows referred to by other reviews in New York City, but I guess they think this set up is similar. The morning I went, there were only three girls working -- a large, tattooed white woman, (who didn't do anything for me), a slender, attractive WOC, and a slender white girl who seemed fairly distracted and not totally there.

 

As others have mentioned, you have to put a dollar into a slot so that the frosted glass will go up and you can talk to the girl on the telephone. I started with the attractive WOC but her prices were a full $40 dollars above the $60/$80/$100 pricing I was expecting. So I passed. Then I went to the slender, distracted white girl (I think the name on her booth was Raven). Her prices were $20 higher than the standard but since I had driven 3.5 hours, I decided to go with her. I paid the guy $60 for 20 minutes of her time and was taken into a room the size of a fairly large closet that had a lock on the door, a chair and a wooden platform against the far wall that had some sort of thin padded cover (not attached) and a full mirror on the wall next to the platform. Since we had agreed to the $100 + $20 menu item, we both got "comfortable" and then we commence activities. She was pretty uninspiring and fairly mechanical but to give her the benefit of the doubt, she did seem pretty young and admitted to only having worked there for about a month. Interestingly, she had these strange triangular pierced rings around both of her nipples on her B-cup breasts. I told her that I thought getting those must have hurt and she totally agreed and wasn't really able to tell me why she did it. Oh well.

 

So now I've had that Carnival experience. It was okay but not really my cup of tea. For this sort of "sure thing" activity, I think I'd rather spend a comparable amount at a reliable AMP and at least get a table shower and attention for 60 minutes. Total cost was $182.00.
