Most commonly, an adult movie theater shows heterosexual pornographic films but attracts straight, bi and gay male patrons, most of whom are not there for the film but are instead looking for casual and anonymous sex with other patrons. Although women do go to adult theaters, their presence remains a rare occurrence. The over-whelming majority (in many theaters, that can be upwards of 99%) of theater-goers is male.
Before the VCR and, later, the Internet, a movie theater or cinema house was often the only location where the average person could see a hardcore adult film.

As private clubs
An adult theater is typically considered to be a public venue as any other legitimate movie theater. It is therefore subject to police raids on the grounds of public indecency when sexual activity occurs on premises between and among patrons.
An adult theater which designates itself as a private or membership club is not subject to those same laws. An adult theater which charges an admission fee along with an additional membership fee (as little as $1 US more) is a private membership club. The activities on premises regarding sex therefore are not subject to raid due to sex. Police can still raid a private membership adult theater on the grounds of looking for drugs, illegal alcohol sales, suspected prostitution and other crimes relative to any other business.
