Sex On Premises Venues
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sex On Premises Venues (SOPV) are distinctly different from Gay Bathhouses in that there is usually no sauna or spa and people who enter keep their clothes on.
There a two distinct types of Sex On Premises Venues (SOPV). Backroom style and Club style.
The backroom style is usually attached to an adult bookshop/store and consists of small cubicals with video feeds, often with Glory Holes between the cubicals. These are also referred to as Private Viewing Rooms or Cruise Lounges.
Club style SOVPs are an entire venue of themselves and again often consists of small cubicals, usually with no bed or mattress unlike Gay Bathhouses which often have some kind of mattress in most rooms.
In Australia is it illegal to sell alcohol with sex. Brothels, Gay Bathhouses and SOVPs are allowed to give alcohol away but not allowed to sell it. Pubs and Bars are allowed to sell alcohol but are not allowed to have sexual activity on the premises. Although this is regulated by no exposure of genitals. Other sexual activities are permitted as long as this rule is not broken. Fines can be up to $28,000 for the venue owner.
[edit] Price
Backroom style SOVPs usually cost either only the cost of the video feed (free to enter) or $5 or so. Club style SOVPs can range from $15 to $20
