Seniors Just Want to Have Fun


Another day, another stupid action on the part of the Stable Genius. So I am asking myself, why am I watching a video retweeted by the Stable Genius of apparent MAGA supporter yelling "White Power" from his golf cart?

I probably have better things to do than watching something so predictable. In his since-deleted tweet, the president thanked the great people of The Villages, a retirement community in Florida.

By a curious coincidence, I found this gem in the video comment section:
"The Villages. Number one per capita for STD's in Florida. Management needs to cut off the residents’ supply of Viagra."

Ok, now I'm intrigued, this comment piqued my interest.

A quick search tells me that The Villages, the biggest gated retirement community for seniors in the United States, had become known as the senior community with one of the highest STD rates among it's residents. Others argue that the std's story in The Villages is an urban legend.

Apparently there is a black market for Viagra, tales of prostitutes frequenting the retirement community, and several arrests of senior citizens engaging in sex in public in their golf carts. There is a book by Andrew D. Blechman called "Leisureville", about the nightlife in The Villages. Even the New York Post released a story eleven years ago, with the headline “Romance and STDs: Inside Florida’s Wild Retirees Getaway."

The Villages is now home to more than 125,000 people. The New York Post article claims that the ratio of women to men in the community was 10 to 1.

With a female-to-male ratio of 10 to 1, sounds like a paradise for elderly who are seriously getting it on.
