Central florida gay sex clubs
The key swapping generally do not happen in public. Some of those guys stay in there for hours like it’s a social club. I worked at a local gym and the “locker room” talk is real. Those stats could be from home state and no one would ever know. More often than not, I hear Michigan and occasionally New York and D.C. Truth is, these retirees move seasonally up and down from their state. I am unable to confirm or deny the statistics.īUT I have seen and heard some things first hand that would make me believe otherwise. I have lived in The Villages for 15 years. Just remember that it might be jealousy, because we as humans have a habit of if we can’t have something/don’t like something, we don’t want anybody else to have it/like it either. I’m sure it can be a pain to have “people back home” bring this up and poke fun at your decision about where to retire. To my knowledge they are built and wired up the same way as people everywhere else. But these are real people you’re talking about. Everyone thinks a retirement community should be all lemonade and shuffle board. I think it just interests people more because these aren’t the kinds of activities you’d expect to hear retirees partaking in, even if its just a small percentage of the population. Take just about any other city/town/community in the country of that size and I’m sure you will find that sex, drugs, alcohol are all available in certain quantities there too. 125,000+ people is not a small community by any stretch. Sometimes people forget just how big The Villages is. Do I think that most news articles and books sensationalize the issue for the sake of creating more page views and sales? I’m sure most people would agree that anytime you mix single adults and alcohol, things will happen. Related: This article will give you a better idea of what single life in The Villages is really like. I think if you were to personally speak with 99% of residents they would say that these issues don’t affect them at all.Įither they are happily married, in a committed (monogamous) relationship, or just use plain old common sense (and protection) in their extra curricular activities. Word about this stuff really gets around travels fast because it’s far from what people expect to hear about life in a retirement community.īut just like everything else in life, you should take what I say and what anyone else says with a grain of salt until you can judge for yourself. The news media seems to be the absolute best at this. You just have to put the right spin on them.
the state as a whole:Īny good statistician will tell you that you can make numbers say anything you want. The gynecologist later recanted this statement.Īs far as the numbers/percentages are concerned, you can see for yourself on the Florida Department of Health website that the disease totals in all three counties that make up The Villages combine to be just a very small percentage of STD’s in the state.Īnd here’s a chart of new STD cases per 100,000 people aged 55+ in Sumter County vs. The one quote that most of the articles harp on is from a gynecologist who said that:Įven in her years working in Miami, she has never seen so many cases. It doesn’t seem to be reflective of the impression that The Villages tries to make on creating a friendly (and healthy) environment for retiring Americans.īack in 2006 a couple of local (Orlando area) news stations reported on the “increase in STD’s in The Villages.” Apparently, The Villages has been noted as having (one of) the highest rates of STD in the country!! Although we would not plan to participate in furthering this statistic, we are certainly curious about the validity of this statistic and why. Ryan – … so many people “back home” bring a topic to our attention when we mention our interest in moving there.
