Jaunted

For men, this atmosphere is perhaps what they went searching for in Amsterdam or The Philllipines in their youth, only to have it come to them overwhelmingly in their old age. The Post discovers that even these elderly men continue to prefer one-night stands, which in turn contributes to the spread of sexually-transmitted diseases in The Villages community. These aren't just literal old wives' tales either; the statistics speak for themselves:

The huge complex began growing rapidly in the mid-1990s, and reported cases of gonorrhea rocketed from 152 to 245, of syphilis rose from 17 to 33, and of chlamydia from 52 to 115 among those 55 and older in Florida from 1995 to 2005. The state's sexually transmitted disease rate among those over 65 is one of the fastest growing in the country, one report claims. In 2006, a local gynecologist reported that she treated more cases of herpes and human papillomavirus at The Villages than she did when she worked in Miami.

The article is nothing if not a cautionary tale, preparing you for the culture of retirement that exists down south. Should you be preparing to make the journey for yourself soon, this whole business does give hope for the future; just because your days of naughty nonsense in Ibiza are over doesn't mean you can't still enjoy some illicit fun in the sun.
