Sex on Premises Venue (SOPV) is the term used, primarily in British and Australian medical literature, for the various commercial venues, as opposed to public spaces and parks, which provide for men who have sex with men (MSM) to meet and have sexual relations with each other on site. A similar term, "on-premises club", is used by heterosexual swingers to describe a sex club in which non-commercial sexual activity takes place between clients or members. While the term is primarily used with respect to MSM, at least one piece of legislation (the ''Sex Work Act'' in Victoria (Australia)) uses "sex on premises venue" to mean "any venue where a person is required to pay an admission fee or charge to enter the venue for the purpose of engaging in sexual activities with another person who has also entered the venue on the same terms and who did not receive any form of payment or reward, whether directly or indirectly, for engaging in sexual activities".〔(SEX WORK ACT 1994 - SECT 3B ), Exemptions for sex on premises venues, Queen's Printer, Victoria, Australia 1994〕 This wording, while gender-neutral, would explicitly exclude brothels. ==MSM sex-on-premises venues== MSM SOPV's include gay bathhouses, "backrooms", and "club" style venues that have no spa or sauna. Most gay bathhouses, bookstores, and bars in the United States do not openly advertise their actual sex-on-premises purpose or activity, as SOPVs elsewhere can. "Backrooms" consisting of small cubicles with expensive-to-view video machines are usually attached to an adult bookstore. Sometimes there are glory holes between the cubicles. The cubicles are also referred to as ''private viewing rooms'' or ''cruise lounges''. "Backrooms" of pubs or bars are usually darkened rooms with or without continuous (and free) pornographic films, but without any dividers or privacy, encouraging group sex. Club style SOPVs are an entire venue of themselves and again often consists of small cubicles, sometimes with no bed or mattress unlike gay bathhouses which usually have some kind of mattress in individual rooms. Some bathhouses sell alcohol; pubs and bars sell alcohol but are not allowed to market themselves as SOPVs. Sometimes special events are held at pubs or bars that include sexual activity. SOPVs are recognized by some city planners as part of the management strategy for sexually transmitted disease education and part of catering for a city's cultural diversity and tourist industry. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sex on premises venue」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
