Cops shut porno cinema where patrons paid $1.67 to have 'sex'
Authorities in Buenos Aires shuttered a rundown theater last week that played XXX movies and allowed customers to have sex romps on its premises for a small fee.
A sign at the entrance said that the operators charged patrons just 100 Argentine pesos, or nearly $2, for the right to participate in sexual activities.
The site had a permit to operate as an independent cinema, however, it mostly scheduled adult film sessions.
