I think the listing of the Front Door on CT is a tribute to the elasticity of the term “Cinema Treasures”.

Wondering if the Tiki or Tomkat are worth going to. Also heard of a video preview store in Commerace, but no location! Anyone know of any adult porn places worth the trip? Please post!

Theater is still closed. It’s adjacent to the Atlantic, which is also closed and vacant.

Yeah, I’m looking for a good adult movie theater or adult movie preview place too. Please post any locations in the southern california area that you have found be be good. The Front Door was the last and only location I knew of in the area. Thanks, and look forward to finding some new places. (or if the Front Door is relocated, that would be great news too)

I haven’t heard anymore about the new location. I’ve been looking for somewhere to find a JO buddy in NLB.

The Back Door was the bar in the rear of the building with the entrance still seen along the north side behind the gate. It has been closed for about 20 years now. But in it’s day, it was a one-stop night out. Have a few drinks and if you didn’t get lucky, you could stop by the Front Door Theater and you wouldn’t have to leave “empty handed”.

Any news of the theater’s whereabout? I heard that it moved near downtown Long Beach.

I guess that didn’t come out right. I was suggesting the library as a safe haven, not one prone to tool-yanking, as one contributor so eloquently stated above.

I try to steer clear of any venue where there is a likelihood of the above. The public library comes to mind.

Couples are rare at this place. It used to be a haven for curios ladies who wanted to play around. During the day on weekends the crowd is pretty mellow. You will be safe there, but donâ€\t expect to meet anyone else except horny guys jacking. The Tiki in Hollywood is the same.

My wife and I are also looking for an adult theater where couples attend. Do couples attend here often? If so, when is the best day/time to meet other couples?

A little off-topic there, I think. Plenty of other websites for that.

I was recently at the Front Door on a Tuesday afternoon and witnessed a stacked brunet getting salami slammed by a B.B.C.
The security guard stood by in the back just to make sure no one got crazy while the show was going on. It was great to watch. So it appears that it is cool to bring your lady here to have a little fun so long as you make friends with the guard on the way in. I also noticed that they cleaned up the rest room. Things are look up at the Front Door.

The only theatre I have been to in San Diego is inside an Adult Depot. It has 2 theatres each with about 25 seats. I had quite the experience there. If interested email at
Would love to hook up with a cool/person or couple and head out to a theatre.

Adult Theaters were fun, miss going. We as a couple enjoyed going the the Studio in Buena Park, up the street was a Pussycat that was run down an attracted more of a gay crowd. Also, Long Beach had one on Ocean that was fun. Does anyone know of a nice theater were couple go in OC or LA area? or even San Diego area?

That sounds like a stimulating night at the movies. If I can digress, I was watching an adult film in Philly one late night in a half-empty theater. An elderly African-American gentleman was sleeping in the seat in front of me, or so I assumed as he hadn’t moved since I sat down. Towards the end of the film, the gentleman suddenly arose from his prone position with the unmistakeable body language (and accompanying verbalization) that suggested that he had actually not been sleeping at all. Needless to say, I stayed away from his seat when leaving the theater.

I have been to the Front Door. Although I have never seen ladies inside, I have been told by some of the regulars that escorted ladies have come to the theater to watch men “enjoying” themselves. The main thing I donâ€\t like about this place is that there is no parking. I used to take the bus to get there. Another thing is, they will not let you stand in the rear of the theater. Also, Iâ€\m not sure why they roll the marquee. Nearly everyone in there is yanking their tool, but security expects you to zip up when ever the bells and whistles go off.

If you and your lady as so inclined to this type of entertainment, then you might find the Commerce Adult Books arcade more to your liking. Itâ€\s not a theater, but it is cleaner, well lit, and none of the booths have doors. So, you can watch others “enjoy” the movie, or have them watch you. It is located near Washington and Garfield, in the city of Commerce, CA. Email me for more detail:

The name on the door says “Front Door Theatre and Bookstore”. There is no marquee and ladies are free with male escort; the ceiling is caved in at points – possibly from water damage – blacklights illuminate most of the room so one can see everything (ahem) that people are doing while they watch the films, which are digitally projected from a machine in the ceiling. An electronic ticker machine on the wall of the auditorium repeatedly warns patrons not to expose themselves and keep their hands to themselves. Nerve-jangling buzzers of different tones usher one into the theatre and the auditorium, there’s a security guard at the door to the theatre and it can best be described as “an experience”. The ticket taker said that the theatre had been showing adult films for 30 years.
