cinema royal :antwerpen/antwerp

Antwerpen/Antwerp:

I somehow love and hate this city. It's great touristic city with alot of shopping facilities. Cinema Royal is right next at the Zoo and the Antwerp Central station. So very close and easy to find.

during my stay: friday 20-23

main room:
I entered the cinema and paid my fee. You come in and alot of stairs are awaiting you. The walls are painted in dark grey and have stains and spots everywhere. It looks dirty, but what else do you want from a sexcinema?

I entered the first room it was quite darkened and I guess there are around 200 places in there to sit, divided up into two floors. It is an old cinema, and they were playing random american hetero porn. The screen is huge but the sound and volume is quite silent. I sat there for randomly twenty minutes and I was the youngest in the crowd. Two to three bums or homeless people were sleeping in there.

And one guy with a huge bag came walking around jerking himself off. I was pretty bored here, and didn't feel quite comfortable. Actually I pretty much got bored fast. So I found to exits at each corner of the cinema room. In the back downbelow there are two exits on the right and the left. I took the left one and both lead to some toilet rooms which seemed to get cleaned often and look okay.

gay room:
Next to the toilet rooms there are more stairs down, that are located towards the front of the building leading it two floors down. I got down the stairs and came into a gay cinema. There were around fourteen older men silently watching gay porn. Older men were circling around, and I could see a doorway next to the big screen which leaded to what I thought were more toilets. I could see men come in and out. After most of them got out, I decided to go in.

I found three cabins all connected with eachother through gloryholes. All men in here were however men looking for homosexual adventures. There were facilities to wash your hands and dry them. Gloryholes you can find at the cine Royal in Anywerp.

- fee : 7.50 eur
- main entry hall / toilets
- no candy machine / no coke machine
- no condom automat / no paper to clean hands and stuff. bring it yourself.
- only paper and water to clean your hans at the gloryholes
- no private cabins


I'll probaly get to give it a visit again sometime when i visit Antwerp. I thought it was quite boring, and some sketchy homeless persons were taking shelter in there. More action in the gay room where everyone was silently observing eachother. Alot of men were circling in and around the gloryholes. So if you want action head for some gloryholes. If i ever get back into this one, it'd be out of curiousity.
