The JAXX
Quietly positioned in the middle of Schöneberg's gay-gay-gay Motzstraße is this well-maintained porn cinema with both a devout following and detractors. The JAXX is a sexually liberated space with a uniquely northern European feeling, and there certainly is much feeling that goes on here. Marked by its black and white checkerboard flooring, the place is a hot den of cruising spaces and lockable cabins, each with screens for showing any of the 20 or so porn flicks on offer. Drinks are dispensed from a machine, smoking is allowed, and conversation is kept at a minimum in favour of maximum man-on-man proximity. Store is sufficiently stocked with sex supplies (toys, cock rings, dildos and condoms).

Sans être un Adonis, je ne suis pas parvenu à comprendre pourquoi on m'a refusé deux fois l'entrée au motif de "private parties" non annoncées. Or, accompagné d'un ami (quinquagénaire!), j'ai pu cette fois-là rentrer pour un résultat assez décevant. Pour 8 euros l'entrée, à éviter!
shit
Thought I'd pop in but was told it was about to close. Pointed out that it wasn't due to close for two hours and was told it's a private club with an under 30s policy (I'm obviously not!). I said that this wasn't made clear and was told again that it's a private club. Best avoided. For some reason this app won't let me load a one star review...
Recent visit to Jaxx, September 2012 - avoid at all costs
I recently visited Berlin (w/e of 07/09/12 to 10/09/12), and visited the Jaxx, and I must say it certainly lives up to its reputation! I first visited late afternoon on Friday 07/09/12 and the staff member was very pleasant, however, when I returned for another visit on the Monday following, the person (looked of Turkish origin?) serving at the counter was unbelievably off-hand, haughty (yes –in a back-street sex club!!!) and unpleasant! In fact, he even refused me entry on the grounds that ‘it was not possible today’, but I believe that it was because I was fashionably enough dressed! But then, who wears Armani to a place like this? Going back to the Friday visit, I can’t say that I was overly impressed - the entrance price was too much for what was on offer – quite literally not a lot – the place was almost empty! A surprise for a Friday evening in a large city – where were all those men wanting some entertainment??? Subjective of course, but the videos were boring, the music run-of-the mill, the kabins tiny, the lighting very harsh in places, the drinks in the machine were somewhere in the region of 20% over-priced, and the larger back room unimaginative - you can only have sex standing up, there is little thought given to comfort etc. I can only imagine that the Jaxx now has such a reputation for the rudenmess of the staff and the over-charging for mediocrity that this can only account for the place being empty for what should otherwise be a busy evening...it certainly was busy in other such venues nearby that same evening! It is just a pity that the owners/ staff are blind to the fact that this is a venue in need of some new thinking and ceratinly a replacement of staff who remember that the customer pays their wages. Overall, I would rate this plce as a one out of five, to be avoided at all costs!
Attention aux vêtements ;des personnes s'amusent à mettre de la vraie colle(glu) sur les banquettes des cabines *)* sinon lieu sympathique :-)
Discriination
Stay away please. Discriminatory door policy. It is clear that this Kino only allows young, well endowed dudes. Older gay men, with pink money, rather spend your money at other better Kinos in Berlin.
