The Standard Hotel Brings Public Sex Back to NYC

The Standard Hotel has turned into a fantastic peepshow, with best viewing from the newly opened High Line!   I think this is great.  If you don’t like seeing people have sex in windows, move to Oklahoma:

Note to parents strolling the High Line: Don’t let your kids look up.

The Meatpacking District’s newly opened, much-touted urban park along an elevated, former railroad trestle has unwittingly turned into a peep show near The Standard hotel, as randy hotel guests perform sex acts in front of floor-to-ceiling hotel windows.

Disgusted neighbors say they’ve seen men masturbating, professional porn films being shot and couples engaging in sex in full view of the stunning High Line park path running alongside.

Now how is that different the Central Park, say around, the West 50’s and 60’s?  There is more:

Business neighbors also are disgusted.

“I’ve seen a few porn shoots — three dudes walking around a hotel room with cameras and lights filming a couple,” said Joe, a manager at the next-door Brass Monkey. “I’ve seen at least 10 different people having sex. Saturday nights are the best time for the show.

I say who cares.  If you are walking your kids around and they look up, just flip them around and point out the Empire State Building and remind then that Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny live there.

The Standard Hotel’s facebook page and publicity love it.   They encourage it:

The Standard’s Facebook page bluntly encourages the explicit behavior.

“We encourage you to exercise your inner exhibitionist. Please share your intimate, and explicit photos with us — those floor to ceiling windows aren’t just for the views . . .”

The hotel Web site beckons:

“Whatever you do, just make sure the shots are HOT and that you get them to us in whichever way you can. It’s all about sex all the time, and you’re our star.”

Good good good!  This is NEW YORK CITY.   Are these to match the new backrooms that are opening up at certain bars?
