  Are we talking photography or something NSFL?

  You need a red bulb for your photography darkroom. And black & white developing is (a little) more forgiving of (a little) outside leaking in than color developing.

      They smell like developer fluid (fixer?), and so will your clothes after you’ve been in there long enough.. the red light you always see in the movies isn’t common—the dark rooms I’ve been in use amber colored lights. Come to think of it I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone use an enlarger in a movie or TV show, they always just cut right to the paper in the developer

  Yeah ask a clearer question. Darkrooms and chemical photography in general are pretty niche now. Everything is digital. But, back in the day they were more of a thing, especially for photo hobbyists. Commercial labs for randos used automated equipment so again no darkrooms, especially in the later parts of the era.

  My friend visited the gay party around the block a few times, one time with his now ex. They were checking out the dark room for the first time and realized two dudes jacking off to them from the corner of their eyes. That’s all of my experience.
