United States Patent 6,805,663
Method of shared erotic experience and facilities for same

What is claimed is:
1. A method of sharing erotic experiences comprising the steps of:

providing a building with a plurality of compartments and
entertainment viewable from inside the compartments;

admitting participants to the building and the compartments;
(Greg note: a hotel with doors)

starting the entertainment viewable from inside the compartments at
