Peep shows have always occupied a special place in my mind, right alongside the platypus and Gallagher. None of them make sense as to why they exist, but they do, so for the most part our society has stopped questioning them. If any of the three were to appear for the first time today we would collectively lose our shit. Emotions would range from anger, to skepticism, to confusion. If it wasn’t for documented evidence such as Nightmare to prove to us that peep shows were a popular thing, many of us would have trouble believing it.
Why would anyone pay money to look at a naked women separated from them by a glass window? Well, I know now the answer is that they are like strip clubs for poor people for the most part. There is a smaller demographic of married men that did not want to risk getting titty glitter on them before going home to see their wives. They also knew better than to risk bringing a porn tape into the house.
It’s a great example of capitalism. There was a need in the market and there was a handful of seedy people that were able and willing to meet that need. If any our still around I imagine it is just for aging men to relive the nostalgia.
