Porn theaters

Some hard stuff

Most movie theaters in Baghdad turned into porn theaters. On this lovely Tuesday afternoon the porn theaters on Sadoon Street seemed to be closed. (One theater closed just before we wanted to get in, around 2 PM. Movie theaters close early in Baghdad.)
We managed to find one open theatre, but the managing director refused to let media in. I was willing to buy a ticket but money didn’t speak here.
All I was allowed to do was taking a picture of movie posters in the hallway. The posters suggest soft porn, but I would not be surprised if the theater was showing some hard stuff inside.
After this I went to a gym to work out a little bit.
There’s a connection between porn and the gym.
