Is New York City really like this?
>>221868623from the clothes I'd say that was taken in the mid to late 80's
>>221868623Pre-Giuliani sure, the place is more gentrified now than it was in the 70s and 80s by far. When organized crime runs a city like yakuza or ndrangheta they're almost never subtle about sex trafficking.
>>221868623Used to be, I think they cracked down on some of the sex shops in the 10's. Now its pretty tame
>>221868623Was. From about ‘66-‘81 you’d see pimps proposition for their girls as young as 10 even in Times Square. ‘72–‘77 was the worst.
>>221868958>the worst.
Johannesburg today is like New York in the 70s
>>22186864670s
>>221868623Most of touristy areas a Manhattan have been cleaned up and are quite safe. You can still find some shit holes out in the Bronx or Queens but the entire area is being gentrified. What sucks the most about NYC is its over crowded and both traffic and mass transit are a mess.
>>221868623The good ol times...
Instead of the mob running New York it’s now investment bankers, real estate companies, and various foreign entities.The classic cinematic portrayal of a rough and rugged New York hasn’t been true since the early 90s. These days it’s mostly a playground for rich people and a tourist attraction.
how did porn theaters work?did you just jerk off in there? that seems like it would have been awkward, and kind of gay.
lol I think the strip clubs in smaller cities are more chill
It was in the 80s and early 90s. It was already over by about '96 and 9/11 permanently ended it. After 9/11 NYC got unlimited police money from the federal government, so no more open sex ads or prostitution. The subway is completely locked down now, totally safe. It is still full of rats, but not cockroaches or anything gross.
>>221870949depends on the theater, but usually not. They make you rent a girl and you go upstairs to fuck. Like, actual sex. Masturbation is kind of boring and the show is just foreplay for the sex later. Usually without a condom because condoms weren't widely available at normal stores at this point.
>>221870256That trash can has had trash picked up the day the photo was taken. This was after the trash strike in '75.
