So I have been thinking of going to the local porn shop with an arcade. Being that this is my first time doing so, what do the machines typically take? Quarters? Dollars? How long is the viewing session?

Any help would be appreciated, I don't want to ask the clerk if they can make change for a twenty.

The cost of the machines depend on the country you reside in. Usually the machines will take the highest amount coin for example, quarters or dollar coins, possibly two dollars coins.

The amount of time you get is about 1 to 2 minutes of view time. So I just chuck in a couple of coins in at a time and see if I like it. Some of the rooms will have glory holes on the side where other guys will watch and ask to suck/get sucked but if you deny them they usually back off but will watch you jerk off.

Hope this helps, let me know how your experience went.

$1.00 bills... 3 mins I believe. Have fun!!!

Always nervous some fucker would bite a cock of injury it..lot of faith sticking it into the abyss

I have never been in the adult video arcade booths, but I did go into a live peep show booth once. The adult book store I went to required that you purchase $2.00 worth of tokens before you can access that area. So I had 8 tokens for the video arcade that I never used. I just wanted to jack off to a real live girl in a booth, which required a $5 bill to put in a machine that opens the curtain behind the glass and then a minimum $20 tip for the girl that goes through a slot for her to grab. The bigger the tip, the better the show. I think it is basically the same for most of the girls, but I think some may set different amounts for different things they will do. The girl I was watching, talking and jacking to said $40 for all nude, so I tipped her $40
The curtain stays open for about 5 minutes from the time you put the money in the machine and every time you put another $5 in to open the curtain again, you also have to tip the girl again.
It was the first time I had ever been in a live peep show, but had always wanted to check them out. You get your tokens, go back in the area down a hallway. The video booths are to the right and the live girls are to the left. You first come to a big window and one or more girls are sitting around in there waiting for the next guy wanting a peep show. You get to look and choose who you want and they tell you which booth to go into. You get in.....Don't forget to lock the door, unless you're hoping to get walked in on....Pick up a phone reciever which rings to the other side. The girl comes in the booth on the other side of the glass and picks up the phone on her side. If you're new to it, she will explain to you how it works and tell you to drop the tip in and put the $5 in the machine to open the curtain and then she talks to you as she starts stripping down (if you tipped enough to get her naked) then she sat down in a chair and started touching her breasts and masturbating while talking dirty. It was like having phone sex while watching her in person at the same time. lol
I spent a total of $92 dollars in the booth that night for about 10 minutes. ($2 for tokens to be allowed in that area, $5 twice to open the curtain and $40 twice to tip the girl.
I was a very good time and I got off really good watching a girl I had never met before getting naked and playing with herself while she sees me on my side of the glass with my pants down and pulling my cock out of a pair of sexy panties and stroking to her while she talks dirty to me and asking me questions and I am telling her my dirty secrets until I shot my load.
The only thing that kind of threw me off after it was over is that I had just gotten a divorce and happened to come into some extra money so I decided to treat myself to spend a little of that money doing this since I had always wanted to, had the cash and felt like it would be a great way to get my mind off of the divorce and all the stress I was going through at that time from the major life adjustment. When we were done, the girl told me she was there most nights and to come see her again and that her name was Becky.......Which was my ex-wifes name. (so much for forgetting what I went there to forget. lol) I guess I'm glad she waited to tell me that until after I came. lol
I think I still have those tokens that I never used for the video booths. lol
I have only been to the peep show one time, which was in 1999, but I loved it and would love to go back again sometime, but never have yet. I just can't spend that kind of money on it all the time, but I think this year I will try to have a visit or two.
I doubt I will ever do the video booths, so if anyone in Kentucky/Indiana wants my tokens when I get out of the peeep shows..... lol

Just recently went to an adult book store in illinois during one of their "parties". Lots of couples hanging around with the women in very little clothes. There was a backroom with a flat type of couch in the center behind the adult theatre where open gangbangs would occur. I was lucky enough to act fast and fuck a nice milf on the couch in front of a large audience of jealous guys. Definately plan on repeating.

Soon after my wife Bibi and I were married in 1968, we were in the Chicago area, and happened to decided to visit one of the adult porn stores in the area. We slipped into one of the booths and dropped a few quarters in the viewer to see what was available. In a couple minutes, someone entered the booth next to ours. The guy asked through the wall, "What are you interested in?" When Bibi replied in a very female voice, "Well, what do you have to offer?" The guy on the other side must have been shocked, and said, "Oh wow a woman. Would you like to suck my cock?" Up to that point, they did not mention that I was also in the booth. She said, "Well let me see your dick, to have a look at it."
She stroked it a few times and got it reasonably hard, where he then thought it looked OK, and slipped 2 or 3 inches of it in her mouth. "I won't let you cum in my mouth or in my pussy, but will jack you off." At that point I told him that she did give very good handjobs. He said, "Oh my, I did not know that you were not alone." I guess the fact that she was jerking him off and I was there with her to watch it, was all it took to bust his nuts all over the floor of his side of the booth. He quickly pulled out, zipped up and left. We never saw what he looked like.

Seems like quarters are a thing of the past most in my area have a flat rate 7-8 $ and u can stay as long as u would like .

Quite a story! Sounds like Bibi was quite adventurous.
Did you stay married? Ever swing?

Some take quarters or 25 cent tokens, some take dollars, some have an admission charge with or without further money. Don't be afraid of talking with the clerk, in fact I think it is a good idea to, to let them know you are a paying customer. Look at squirt.org cruising section, and it will tell you about nearly every bookstore around. You don't buy a lot of time with your money though, so the single entry fee places get you more time for your money.
