Underneath the Gowanus Expressway, in an area generously included in Sunset Park but really not much more than a detritus-strewn, completely forgotten, and rarely traversed stretch of 3rd Avenue, sit a curious collection of shops, glass windows and brick walls routinely rattled as 18-wheelers hurtle by just 10 feet above. Along on a stretch between 39th and 24th Streets, there are eight of these shops, a rate of nearly one per block. Sunset Video, Video City, Candy Hookah Love, Golden DVD—the names are different, but they're all the same inside.
They're sex shops, like the ones you could once find in Times Square. The kind that advertise private viewing booths for when the laptop is busted and the WiFi is out and the lock on your bedroom is broken and the bathroom is in use and your imagination is unable to conjure up anything and… you get what I'm getting at.
Who the hell uses these things in 2016?
More importantly, how do these places, with a clearly dying business model, sustain themselves? And why did they all wind up so close together?
I spent a week trying to figure it all out.
It's a matter of zoning: In 1998, when the city's new regulations for adult shops went into effect , the businesses were banned from residential areas. This sent many of the shops in Manhattan to areas zoned for commercial and manufacturing, including this part of Sunset Park. There were a number of strip clubs not far off—most of which are now gone—so they had a bit of a seedy community thing going on.
Many of the shops are owned by immigrants from Sri Lanka. Indeed, two stores include Sinhalese in their names. The clerks, too, when I went, were almost exclusively of Sri Lankan descent. The largest Sri Lankan population in the city is in Staten Island, which makes for a quick commute back and forth over the Verrazano.
The owners are elusive: I figured this wasn't like walking into a Starbucks with the expectation of seeing Howard Schultz. These are small, independent businesses, and you'd think at one point in seven days, making regular visits, you'd have one encounter with the head honcho.
But in trips to all of them, talking to dozens of counter workers, not a single one professed to know the owner. The answers ranged from the plausible, "This is my first day," to the laughable. "This is my first day," said the same employee the next day when I popped in.
"He'll be here at 10 tonight," a clerk at Jayoda Video told me on a Monday morning. When I arrived that night, another said he always came in at "10 a.m." The next morning, the clerk from the previous day said he was there last night.
One shop was closed at the appointed hour I was set to meet the owner, despite a sign attesting to its 24-hour nature. On my third trip, the clerk at Golden DVD ("best prices in 3rd Avenue"), said the owner had "just" told him the shop was going out of business "tomorrow," after two days of my hectoring him. It's still open, though I wouldn't be shocked if it did close tomorrow.
With the redevelopment of this area of Sunset Park , these businesses may all soon be gone.
In 2000, when streaming video and online purchasing didn't exist, people couldn't get their porn any other way. The technological innovations of the past 15 years have obviously not been kind to the adult video store industry. At almost every shop, the people I spoke to said they averaged fewer than five paying customers a day. Whether changing hands to avoid paying taxes or rent, or rebranding to be more appealing, the businesses constantly turn over. What was Blue Door Video in 2005 is now Video City. Nilwala Video in 2011 became Candy Hookah Love, with the exact same signage and colors, just a different name.
Customers are few and far between. In the eight shops I visited over seven days, I saw scarcely more than 30 patrons total. I never saw more than one person in a store at a time. Only once did I see a patron make a purchase—a lone DVD at Video City.
The customers aren't in the mood to talk: "I don't know anything about that," said one man, when I asked him why he had just been in a private booth, as he waved me off. "I don't know anything about them." Not a strange reaction, really.
Speaking of those booths: They are always "out of order," though nothing seems to be broken. When I asked about the booths in the back, how many people used them, or how they worked, I almost always got the same answer. While each store has a sign out front explicitly advertising booths, the clerks all denied the booths were there. At one shop, after being told there were no booths, I walked back to see the booths, then returned to the counter and said, "I thought said you didn't have them." The clerk continued to forcefully deny they existed. That may have been because because the booths have a reputation as a spot where people can very discretely hook up. I must have seemed like a horny 16-year-old, inquiring whether this was where I get the sex.
After a while you start feeling like the pervert: At Sunset Video, when I asked why anyone would still use a public-private masturbation booth like that, one clerk said maybe people can't do it at home. What had initially struck me as odd (why leave your house to masturbate?) made a lot more sense. If you have a family or share a room with someone, you can't exactly come right home and have a quick jank to calm yourself down, like us single masturbators like to do. Swinging by one of these shops isn't that odd a thing to do if it’s your only chance to rub one out in peace.
You might even think it's strange that other people have moved away from this model of self-gratification. If you masturbated for the longest time in the privacy of a locked room far away from family and roommates, in a spot where no one bothers you, why would you switch to using your own device at home. Why risk dirtying your computer when someone else's screen will do?
What's to be ashamed of? Indeed, the few patrons I saw didn't give me sheepish glances or avert their eyes. The only person who was embarrassed was me. Perhaps there's a lesson in that.
Still, I have no clue how they make rent.

The Dark Web isn't a place for everyone but it's worth exploring some parts of it. For those who may be a little faint of heart – we have listed down more than 160 updated Tor websites for you on this page.
Note that websites on the Dark Web has transited from v2 to v3 Onion hence the old .Onion links no longer work (full details in later part of this article). The .onion links in this article, however, have all been updated the v3 so you will be able to use them to visit the Dark Web.
Visiting the Dark Web? Safety First The Dark Web is no Disneyland. Use a VPN to keep your data safe and avoid government tracking when surfing Dark Websites > We recommend NordVPN ($3.99/mo) or SurfShark ($2.49/mo) .
First, here are the safe Dark Web websites which are perfect for some casual visits. We'll also look at 100+ of not-so-safe list and Dark Web Search Engine in the later part of this article.
The Dark Web is a dangerous place – We highly urge users to exercise caution when experimenting in this area. All content published here is for educational purposes only. WebHostingSecretRevealed.net does not suggest, recommend, or advise users to be active on the Dark Web.
Be sure to take the appropriate precautions. Subscribe to a VPN* and make use of their secure servers, use a private browser, and make sure you have a disposable email address handy in case you need one.

* Note: What is a VPN ? Short for “Virtual Private Network”, a VPN helps us protect our data and identities. By masking our actual IP address and allowing encrypted connections to their secure servers, VPNs help keep us safe on the Dark Web.
This is a fantastic site to visit if you’re really new to the Dark Web. Much like the real Wikipedia, The Hidden Wiki offers tons of information and links you can jump through to really get to know the Dark Web. It is one of the stalwarts among .onions and doubtless will remain so for many years to come.
Dread is like the Reddit of Dark Web. You have a way to sign up for things (anonymous email) and also pay for them (anonymous Bitcoin) – but do you know who and where to buy from? Where can you check out the latest gossip in town? Dread has the answer.
Knowing that there are tons of things you can buy here, you’ll probably know you have to pay for it as well. This site is sort of like a digital wallet and allows you to transact in Bitcoins . The big difference though is that most digital wallet sites are not anonymous and many even have to comply with financial regulations as well. The Hidden Wallet is… well, hidden.
It’s really strange that the world’s largest social media platform would have a .onion address, but there you are, Facebook it is. This part of Facebook was supposedly developed by them to cater to those who want a social network that’s anonymous. I’m not quite sure how ‘anonymous’ and ‘social’ work together, but the .onion Facebook claims not to keep logs of user activity.
* Note: Facebook over Tor has moved to a new onion address in 2021. The old address “www.facebookcorewwwi.onion” no longer works.
MEGAtor is a free and anonymous file-sharing on the Dark Web. Users can share all types content and download them at maximum speed of their connection for free.
Bitcoins payment is hard to track but it's not 100% anonymous. The technology only provides pseudonymity, which means as long as no one knows your Bitcoin addresses, you are anonymous. OnionWallet helps you break that chain – the Dark Web service mixes all Bitcoin and makes it impossible to track on the Bitcoin Blockchain.
Beneath VT is a Dark Website about steam tunneling in Virginia Tech.
Just as Google has its competitors so does DuckDuckGO. TORCH is a very simple and minimalistic search engine you can try out if you ever get sick of the friendly duck.
Note: Torch has migrated moved to version 3 onion address – the old xmh57jrzrnw6insl.onion is no longer working.
HayStak is a Dark Web search engine started by a group of privacy campaigners who believe the internet should be free from state surveillance. To date Haystak has indexed 1.5 billion pages over 260,000 .onion websites.
Ever wanted to hack the heck out of someone who pissed you off but have no idea how? Check out Tor Hacker Services today. This group of “freelancers” sells serious hacking services – if you’re willing to pay the price.
For those who believe in independent journalism, the Dark Web has a rather unique publication of sorts. ProPublica is place for those who dare to challenge abuse of power, corruption, and the sort. They are completely non-profit and have a dedicated onion URL you can access using the Tor browser.
If you’re looking for a no-frills email service provider that is exactly the opposite of Gmail, Elude is there for you. It’s free and doesn’t bombard you with ads and does not track you with Google Analytics or the like.
You’ll get an email address for free. No personal information is required to create your email account and all email accounts are encrypted and stored in their hidden servers.
If you’re looking for a safe way to trade on the Internet, have no fear, there are also options for you. Much like the way a lawyer can hold funds in escrow, so can Escrow Service. It even deals in Bitcoin so that everything remains anonymous.
Trade to your heart’s content and all they ask is a modest 1.5% transaction fee. They will make sure you can inspect the shipped items before releasing your funds and offer third party dispute resolution in case the deal sours.
Wasabi Wallet is yet another BitCoin wallet that is available for multiple platforms. It also has a .onion URL for those who truly seek the ultimate in anonymity. It treats privacy seriously, so even if you are not using that URL, all their network traffic is run through Tor by default.
Everyone needs some space on the web sometimes and SecureDrop is exactly that. However, it’s a little more transitionary, since it was designed to allow whistleblowers a way to submit stuff to media companies anonymously.
Interestingly, this site is now owned and operated by Freedom of the Press Foundation . All data is encrypted and there are no third-party connections anywhere in the process. It’s really completely anonymous!
Last but not least – DuckDuckGo – the go-to search engine when you are on the Tor network. DuckDuckGo does not track its users and serves non-personalized search results. Based on the company's study, approximately 60 million people use DuckDuckGo to search online (as of June 2020).
Now that we’ve gone over the touristy stuff, let’s get to some of the more exciting ones. These are the ones that may be a little naughtier in nature. By that, we don’t mean a spank on the butt, but you may end up with some jail time.
As a reminder, WHSR is not affiliated with any sites on this list nor do we encourage or condone illegal activities of any nature.

Although we’ve listed DuckDuckGo as a search engine of choice that’s only true so far as privacy is concerned. Most regular search engines including Google don’t index .onion websites.
To search on the Dark Web, you need a specialized search engine. Some of the known Dark Web Search Engines include:
Search results from these engines usually vary significantly as they tend to crawl the Dark Web differently and apply different filters to search results. Ahmia, for instance, removes child abuse content and other blacklisted services from their search results. Also, some Dark Web Search Engines come with more advanced options like Boolean or multilingual search.
The two Dark Web Search Engines we recommend (and use often) are Ahmia and Not Evil – Ahmia is available for both the clear web as well as Dark Web via separate URLs.
Another option to find Dark Web sites is by using a website listing service such as The Onion Wiki. This directory is a good place for Dark Web tourists to start since it can give you an idea of what might be lying around.
However, not all URLs listed will be working (we have no idea how often these directories are updated) and they often contain links to both legal and (very) illegal Dark Web sites.
It sounds exotic and there is that thrill of the unknown and unexplored, but much like the deep blue sea, many dangers are hidden. As the average run of-the-mill Joe (or Jill, as the case may be), how safe is it to explore the Dark Web?
Although there are truly exotic things on the Dark Web that you would not normally see, along with even some of the more mundane albeit in anonymous form (for you), the Dark Web isn’t a great place to stumble about blindly.
There are very bad things and people around that you culd stumble into with potentially dire consequences for you. This applies not only to bad guys, but there is also a very real chance of problems with law enforcement, depending on what you do.
In case you’re not convinced, here are some examples of what goes on in the Dark Web and the consequences.
Earlier this year, a couple in the US was charged for selling drugs under the Dark Web vendor handle of MH4Life on various trade sites. They were using the Dark Web to sell Fentanyl , a type of opioid which is frequently abused as a recreational drug as well as other illicit substances. The pair were arrested despite using cryptocurrency, virtual private networks and proxies as well as other elaborate distraction techniques.
More than 35 people in New York and California were arrested by a combined-agency task force for selling contraband on the Dark Web . Among items seized were more than 100 guns, $3.6 million in cash and 2,000 Bitcoins.
A Polish man was planning to sell a kidnapped British model on the Dark Web. When plans went awry, he was arrested in Italy where his victim claimed that he boasted of earning more than $17 million selling kidnapped women on the Dark Web.
The Dark Web can be a place of real freedom and may sound like “fun” for some. For example – You can openly discuss anything political, no matter how left or right wing, without fear of prosecution from your local authorities.
Unfortunately, that’s intermixed with a lot of, well, not so nice things.
Enjoy the freedom – but always remember, if caught, you will be charged for whatever illegal activities you have partaken in on the Dark Web.
You can find anything on the dark Web from that which is perfectly legal to dubious
