First time stopping in Sunday afternoon. Admission of ten dollars to the theater is very reasonable. Mostly older guys but a few middle aged mixed in. Found a nice younger black cock to suck after about an hour there. It scratched my itch.

I didn't find it as much fun as Laura's Video gloryholes, but I'm sure I'll be back since the are open on Sundays.

Stopped in a couple of weeks ago. About a half dozen people in the theater. I sat near the left front.

Not a lot of action at first, then a gentleman sat on the front couch and pulled out his cock and started playing with himself. He motioned several times for me to come over and I gave in and sat down beside him. I told him nothing goes in me without a condom on it and he was OK with that.

I went down on him for about ten minutes and I felt his hips start to buck. He then proceeded to go down on me till I came. He was very good. I'll be back.

One of my favorite "drive by" spots is 74 Video and News in Gastonia. There are some places where I love to go and spend a few hours, and then places like 74 where if it is a few hours or a few minutes I generally have a good time.

It was 8:30 on a Sunday night, I was traveling home and had twenty minutes of time before I needed to be on the road. I pulled into the parking lot and there were three cars. One is always assumed to be the person working, so I went with the thought of two guys in the theater.

Then I was thinking, maybe one was shopping in the store and tried to talk myself out of parking and going in. But I had ten dollars cash in my pocket and figured if nothing else I would support the business with a quick walk through.

I am glad I did not leave.

Upon entering the building there was just the clerk in the store, meaning two men in the back. And sure enough, after paying my money I walked into the back and there were two guys there.

One, sitting on the back couch was a middle-aged white guy; the other in the next row of chairs forward was a younger Black man. I stood in the corner for a second to let my eye adjust and was able to make eye contact with both men. The Black man had his hands in the pants touching himself.

I love black dick, so made my way to the front of the theater and around the corner to the couch there making eye contact with him all the way. As I sat there, he never moved, and I just watched the movie for a bit. I looked at him a few times and we did make eye contact, but he never moved.

After a few moments I heard something from the back of the theater. My Black guy friend was no longer in his seat, so I stood up, walked around the corner. There he was, on his knees in front the of the white man sitting on the couch. They were alternating between kissing and the white guy getting his cock sucked.

I stood in the corner and took out my cock; the guy seated nodded for me to come closer, and he started stroking my cock. Then as the guy on his knees was still sucking him, he leaned over and started sucking on me. I was instantly hard as a rock.

My preference is being the one sucking and I have pathetically no stamina, so I stepped back away from my cocksucker and decided to get a better look – from my knees – next to the Black guy sucking his cock.

The white guy had a big thick beautiful cock and upon more exploration the Black man had a nice big dick that he was stroking. The other cocksucker looked at me and gave the "okay" to join as he moved to sucking on the guy's balls. That left the head and shaft of this big cock for me and there were now two of us on our knees sucking this guy as he remained seated on the couch.

Soon the Black guy started moaning. He was jacking himself off and jumped up and started dumping his load on the floor. Sadly, I was not in position with the seated guy's legs to move over and try to catch some of that nutt with my mouth or on my face.

He jacked himself dry and stepped away.

I looked up at the guy seated. He took my head in his hands and ordered me to suck his cock, which I did. He talked a bit during the session and soon announced he was going to cum. He took my head in both his hands, his hips arched forward, and that cock plunged all the way down my throat as he unloaded inside me.

It was an impressive orgasm from the number of blasts, but he was so far down my throat I never did taste any of his juices. And soon he settled back down as I gently sucked the last few drops out.

The initial guy had left, so it was just the guy seated and me, still on my knees, when I looked and thanked him.

He laughed and said, "No, thank you."

As I got back to my feet and got myself together, I told him I loved sucking cock, to which he told me to stick around, that Sunday nights were good there for a constant flow of men needing blowjobs. It sounded good for sure.

I told him I had limited time and almost did not come in; he again stressed his gratitude that I did.

I knew I was not there long but wanted to get back on the road. I got into my car, started it up to see that I had only used fifteen of my twenty-minute window, so I got back on the road five minutes ahead of schedule.

Stopped in tonight. Haven't been there in a while. Paid my money and was told that they now close at midnight on Saturday and it was 11:30. But I went in anyway.

There were two people in the theater, one older gentleman in the back and a younger black guy in the front. I took a seat in the front part of the theater behind the wall. The black guy came forward and took his cock out and started playing with it.

We made eye contact and he came and stood in front of me with a nice hard cock. I told him I didn't do anything without a condom and he let me put one on him. I sucked him and deep throated him for about fifteen minutes but he never came.

The clerk opened the door and said fifteen minutes till closing so he finished by jacking off. Left and rode through CVE and it was a full parking lot. Will have to try it too.

I was traveling on a Sunday evening and didn't have a lot of time. Part of the reason I always loved this place was that there is always potential to walk right in, have some guy jerking a dick, and be on my knees within the first five minutes.

That was my hope.

I pulled in, there were a couple of cars in the parking lot, so I went in, paid my ten dollars and entered the theater. There were only two old white guys and one of them was very aggressive.

He literally walked up to me, had his cock out, took my hand and put it on his cock. I was a bit taken back by it, but in places and times like that it just is what it is.

We did a little touching when the door opened and in walked this fine looking young black man, my favorite. He walked in, sat down in a chair and immediately the aggressive guy walked right over and sat down next to him.

The black guy looked at him and said "I'm good," but that never causes the old guy to stand down.

I opted to stay back in hopes that the black guy would move away from his aggressive pursuer. Sadly he did move – right out the door and to his car.

I rarely let things get to me, but I was pissed and decided that was enough for me and hit the parking lot. As I sat in my car getting ready to leave, another car came it. It was a nice BMW and the guy backed into the spot next to mine so our drivers doors were side-by-side.

He was a middle-aged black man, smaller build but the eye contact started immediately. I thought to myself that I had one get away and I was going to go try with this guy. He went into the store, as did I and I made it back into the theater.

I sat on the couch toward the front around the corner and within a few minutes there he was, standing next to the couch. I put my middle finger in my mouth and without hesitation he walked over in front of me and took about a very nice thick 8" dick.

I devoured it and we had a heck of a session going when the aggressive white guy walked right up beside him with his dick out. My guy looked irritated, as was I, but I wasn't going to let the emotion take away from the moment and just kept sucking his amazing dick and licking his balls.

I think the black guy went with the strategy of let's get the aggressive guy off and maybe he would move on. He grabbed a handful of my hair, pulled me off his cock and directed me onto the old guy's. This is about the only scenario where this works for me, as I am always submissive to a black man.

The old guy couldn't get off and I think he actually got frustrated and ultimately zipped up and left, leaving me back to my black man one-on-one. This guy was amazing, and ultimately he added eating his ass to our session.

We were at least fifteen minutes into it when he reached down and started playing with my left nipple. DAYAM it felt good as I writhed around all while sucking his cock. Then something started to happen. My cock was starting to really get sensitive as it was still contained in my panties and jeans.

I opted to stop moving my lower body, not wanting to cum and wanting to focus on my man as he kept feeding me his dick and kept playing with my titty. And then it started.

For the next ninety seconds I had the MOST INCREDIBLE build up and then orgasm. This guy never touched my cock, never got close, but the intensity of our session – the cocksucking, ball licking and nipple play – made me cream my jeans right there on the spot.

It was insane. I have never had a moment like that and while it's never about me getting off with guys it's nice when it happens.

I sucked him some more and then he pulled out and said he really wanted to nutt, but that it was not going to happen apparently tonight and he needed to get out of there.

As I sat there on the floor I was a mess. I cleaned up myself best I could and started to get up. My heart was still racing, my legs were weak and as I made it back to my car, I realized that my quick stop lasted longer than an hour.

But what an amazing hour it was.

I visited this location today around 6:30 pm. Place was dead. One other guy in the theater. I sucked him off for a while, but he couldn't stay hard. Staff is friendly and helpful. The theater is very clean.

I'll have to stop again and hope for a larger crowd next time.

No booths, gloryholes, or arcade. Those are illegal. They have a theatre with couches and love seats though. Store is well kept and the staff is knowledgeable and friendly. You can't return anything you purchase though. That's illegal. So ask the clerks questions before you buy. Follow the signs posted, and you'll have a great experience.

Stopped by today and found the booth area is gone. They are changing that area to retail sales. The clerk working said that the city of Gastonia made them take out the booths. With all the other crap going on in Gastonia why doesn't the city just leave them alone!?

There are gloryholes in every booth. I went early afternoon and got sucked off as soon as I entered a booth. I'd give it 4 stars out of 5.

I went there recently on a Friday night and things seemed to be slow until about 10 pm. There had been several couples come and go but they were scared off by pushy onlookers. The action started when a trannie was sucking my cock and three couples happened to come in and wanted to watch. As they watched one of them, a 30ish blonde, knelt down in front of the trannie and asked him if she could suck his cock. He agreed and before you knew it there were about five guys getting blowjobs. I think the trannie swallowed 4 or 5 loads by herself. We had an orgy right there in the theatre. I will definitely return here the next time I am near Charlotte.

I visited today at 10 am. There is a $10 charge for all-day, but the place was empty -- as in no cock. Seems like they are in the woods so if you are looking to play then try Laura's or 321.

Recent remodel of the booth and video area has increased the price to $10. I usually find a willing mouth when I am there, but so many guys just stand in the doorway that it's hard to start any action. The same gloryholes exist if you can get one.

I used to go there a lot but not much anymore. Best to be there at 10 am when it opens. Usually fills up with obnoxious cocksuckers that stand in front of all the booths with gloryholes with the door open and nobody can do anything. If you close your door they will stand in the one next to you so no one can get in.

Admission is a bit pricey at but it's definitely worth the trip. On a snowy Thursday afternoon the place had about a dozen men in the theater-booth area (now combined). I met a guy in the theater who unzipped and let me taste his large rod, then we moved to a booth to finish. Then he sent another acquaintance in to finish me off -- awesome! After a few minutes in the theater to recover, I went back to the booth area and quickly found a hot, willing black mouth to take my second load. Awesome!

A great place for a quick blowjob when you are horny. Pay seven dollars and stay as long as your like. Several booths have gloryholes, some don't have one. Some real good cock sucking at this location.

The business is picking up gradually. They now charge a flat fee and you can stay as long as you like. The clerks never bother you as long as you stay in the booth area. Of course, you have your regular goateed queens posted on the walls waiting for that special dick that never shows up. The best time to go is around lunch or after.

I was there early in the week on a Monday. There was not much action from 12:30-3:30 pm. There were maybe four visitors. After 4 pm, it picked up. I guess people were getting off of work. I sucked off one thick, eight inch dick with a huge mushroom head and one seven by five inch cut dick for twenty minutes each until they shot their hot, creamy loads all over my face. From 4 to 5:30 pm, I saw a mixture of eight clean cut, blue-collar men come in.

I have been there at different times of the week and day. Clerks are friendly and do not bother you. Eight booths have gloryholes and movies can be viewed continuously for a ten-dollar charge as long as you stay in the building. There is a variety of men from young Mexicans and blacks to older men. During the week 10 am to 2 pm seems to stay busy. During the weekends 11 am to 1 pm and 6 to 11 pm with a small mix of couples entering the booths for a quickie. I have been fortunate to find at least five big cocks every weekend night.

This is a great place for action if you like men between ages of fifty and seventy! There are hardly any younger men that frequent this place. All trolls all the time. They have video cameras in the back and hound you to spend money. Not a good joint in my opinion.

This is an excellent place, with gloryholes in most booths. The holes are lined with metal for cleanliness. Best time is after work between 4 and 6 pm. Young and willing action as well as regulars and older wimps. I have never seen any police activity. You can also pick up the clerks if you like that.
