For those not familiar with Central Florida, in Winter Park on one of the lakes is a place called “Dinky Dock”, Since at least the 1960s the bathrooms there have been regular hook up places for random homo “encounters”. Everyone knew it/ knows it. Every few years it gets so bad that it drives normal people away from the lake so the cops do stings and make a bunch of arrests. What’s interesting is that invariably they net known local professionals with too much to lose to be doing crap like that. Lawyers, judges, businessmen - many of them married with families. Yet, that doesn’t deter them. Their compulsion is just too strong.
No telling how many cases of AIDS have been contracted there since the 80s.
This is a good example of putting the lie to the claim that male homosexuals *as a group* are no more promiscuous than heterosexuals.
I taught night courses in Winter Park back when one could drive through Orlando in a reasonable amount of time (20 years ago), but I didn't know the place that well 🙂
No different than everyone, including the vast majority who would never go there, knowing where the hookup places are in one's area.
Canal Park in the town of Tempe, Arizona enjoys a similar reputation. It was hilarious when somebody stole the “C” from the park sign.
