Retirement: sex, drinking and line dancing

[MillCreek]

All of this can be yours in The Villages.  This is of course in Florida.

The Villages is a veritable boom-town for baby boomers aged 55+ who flock to the geriatric paradise in droves for its endless margarita mixers (happy hour starts at 11am), unlimited golf courses (50, to be exact), and notorious for its laissez-fair attitude towards sex, thriving swingers scene, and controversial politics.

I'm not really seeing a down side here.

A thriving swinger's scene has created a black market for Viagra and randy couples meet at each other's houses for key parties. Men pick their partner at random by selecting a set of  golf cart keys jumbled into a bowl while wives wait in the parking lot for their mystery dates.

I think I know where I'm going to retire now.

Not for me. I don’t like dancing.

Then there is 81-year-old Dennis Dean, a life-long bachelor and drifter; who, like so many others, was drawn to The Villages' allure: 'The reason I came here is because I honestly figured this would be the last hurrah. Where else can you party seven days a week with live entertainment? It's a great place.'

But unlike his peers who can afford the median home price of $295K - Dennis lives out of his illegally parked van within the gated community. He prowls the swimming pools, town centers, churches and polyurethane pickleball courts (friendlier on the joints) while looking for a gullible girlfriend that will take him in and he's not embarrassed to admit it: 'I came down here from California to meet some wealthy women and get set up for life,' he tells the camera.

Oppenheim thinks people are attracted to the hyper-manicured retirement mega-community 'Because they want to be told what to do and how to live. If you're able to relinquish any sense of your own individual self to live in this collective bubble, I'm sure, there is probably some kind of euphoria'

Sounds meddlesome.

The Villages has the highest per capital STD rate of any town in Central Fl.  It's a local meme around here that anyone you meet from there has an 80% or so chance of having the clap.

Business opportunity for physicians who specialize in that sort of thing.

You had me at retirement.

Install gun range, and I’ll be there in 20 years.

Works for me. But then most towns have a swinging venue within at least a reasonable driving distance...and it wont be full of people who had to park their scooters out front. Maybe just a winter home then....

Add heat, humidity, and golf to that list.
I've been to Florida three times and, while it is nice to visit, I don't want it to be permanent.

How is this place still standing? Do the hurricanes not reach that far inland?
