Adult Book Store II
1commentThis is a small bookstore -- only a few token movies and toys upfront. I'm almost certain it makes its money entirely on the theaters.

Where exactly
From intersection of U.S. Highway 41 (50th Street) and State Road 60 (Adamo Drive), head south on 41 for approximately 5 miles. It will be on your right immediately after you pass Madison Avenue (look for the Circle K). Cross street: Madison Avenue, about one block south
Cruisiest spot: Theaters are the best place -- OK, the only place -- to play. There are three -- two big rooms and one small one. The first big one is when you walk in -- it has several dark corners that are perfect for some privacy. The second big one is all the way in the back. There was ample room for a very hot circle jerk the last time I was there ... a guy stripped nude and wanted us all to on his body. We did, and we had all the time and privacy in the world.
When to go
24 hours Best times: Friday and Saturday nights, after 8 p.m. It'll either be hoppin' or completely dead. There's no middle ground.
Etiquette
I've had the best luck playing in the small room (between the first theater and the third). There's a large television that shows the movie, and you can easily crouch (or stand, depending what you're seeking) beside it in darkness until someone comes along to play.
Nudity: Gay friendly ... last time I was there, the clerks didn't bother anyone
Safety
This shop reportedly is (but perhaps no longer is) owned by a local man who was arrested on child pornography charges in 2005. Ethical concerns of giving your money to such a person aside, there's a possibility that the police are still watching the establishment.

There are two small theaters, straight and gay separated by a hallway with soda machine in it. Door from store into hallway is noisy enough to hear from theaters. Doors into theaters are noisy too. $5 special weekday admission price for over 55.
