"Leisure Spas" of the 1970s

[kar120cc]

Damn I miss the 70's (though I was just a kid)

[killbill402]

I watched a documentary about plato's retreat, a guy in the documentary said the madrass rom (a rom where people had orgy sex) was the moraly hardest rom to be in. I noticed he used the word moraly. People who engage in activities like this are fighting their own conscience. Adultery is wrong.

[WatchVenusSpa]

More proof that the 70's were the greatest era in world history and New York was the epicenter!!

[verdaccio]

thats it, im making a time machine.

[labloomfie]

god bless the 70s you had so much more then go to a bar now can't snort coke off a table like then, cant go to theatres like you can now, when did we get supressed in our sexuallity and fun, oh yeah, the gov't. fkn bastards

[hutuguru81]

ya gotta love the 70's...the liesure suits, the bad hair, the big collars and loud shirts, the right to smoke anywhere even on buses!

[revkev24]

heh heh, he said "lemon cream facials"

[onemileaway]

I think I just puked in my mouth...yep.

[rhetteinjyun]

that's just absurd...in a good way...not really.

[codyki]

Disco turned me out!!!

[JTWRZK]

Is it just me or did people just look grimy back in the 70's? And I don't just mean because these people were pervs. I am talking in general. I look at pics of my family from back then, and we just looked grimy.

[derpenstein]

Yes I agree.

[ciscornBIG]

LOL I always say the same thing. It's like the whole world had no color and everything looked like it was happening in 90 degree weather or something.

[ukendcx2000]

Yeah. I was born in the 70s and I looked like a vagabond back then. lol

[JTWRZK]

Wow! That music on the Orleans theatre spot is too funny. That just screams porno.

[RobGoth100]

I need a pencilian shot just watching this.

[elmuneco12]

thats how aids started!

[slinkmoss]

advertising turned me out!

[nondor13]

does this prove that advertising is better than art?

[haroldbingo]

This is hysterical!!!!

[netchemab]

This video takes me back to the time when I first arrived in NYC. I was 18 and green..NYC turned me out!!!LOL

[africanassss]

Does anyone have more information about Electra? I'm writing a paper for a class upon the subject of "leisure spas" and would like any info at all. There should definitely be a database with this information.

[robertspeck]

I miss those days but not the itching and burning that went with them.

[MGG75]

That last clip of the Orleans Theatre on 47th St. It seems like it should have been on 42nd street instead...LOL! By the way, how far was the Orleans from 42nd Street?

[petitefeuille2000]

Well, let's see... 47 - 42 = 5, so FIVE BLOCKS! Jeezus, who are these people?!

[ursa41]

As a native New Yorker, thanks for the great video and the memories. Hey, at least Times Square had more character and attitude back then, better than the dull, deadbeat,corny sorry-ass Disneyland it is today. Crank up that time machine,manhattan85, I'm going with ya'!!!!

[ichiban308]

now YOU can get the clap for just $2.49...at all times!

[MGG75]

I'm surprised that Plato's isn't included in this SPECTACULAR video look at the underbelly of NY nightlife from 1975-1984...LOL!!

[electronicat]

I got it just from watching this video!

[manhattan85]

If I could take one impossible vacation in my life, it would be obtaining a time machine and traveling back to NYC in 1977. The first time I went to New York was as an 11-year old in 1986 and my dad told me Times Square was "full of porn." I didn't know what it meant then.

[markjwil]

Holy Shit!

[BadLactose]

Wow, that 'slave girl' emoted the hell out of that one line of hers: "Come, Caeser. We await you."

[BadBopco]

The most liberal days in NYC and life there was almost affordable then too. Sort of brings back good memories....

[stargate121]

Oh my God...MOM???!!!

[Jolar70]

I just happen to have two dollars and forty nine cents!

[Melowgold]

I feel like I need to take a shower after watching this.

[larodem]

Sleek Ads, but they can´t hide the sad.

[newlevel7]

haha...can't hide the sad.

[staticfluxforever]

Well said, larodem.

[xxLextalionesxx]

Nice ...

[fmminformation]

Sounds Fun!

[quentaur]

makes you miss Ed Koch

[pucksprattle]

Incredible.
