Gay loops?

I was reading something about porn star Paul Thomas and people kept mentioning that he appeared in gay loops back in the 70s. What are gay loops?

a loop is a short in time movie on cellulose - for example 8mm or 16mm. It loops continuously in special projector, back in the day. For peep-show machines, nickelodeons, or arcade-type film viewers.

There were a bunch of those nickelodeon type machines in Boston's Combat Zone until at least the late 70s. A loop was a quarter. If you wanted to keep the loop going you had to keep putting quarters in.

Yes I'm old.

What money do video machines take now? Dollars? Credit cards?
