NYC in the 70's {A Great Re-Run and all time favorite) aka "Plato's Retreat"

 

New York in the 70's was probably the most exciting time for a young, good looking, straight guy with a good job and some good drugs to really party. (Was that me??? ) It  was a time before Aids, a time of crime, a time of filth in the city, a time of corruption, a time of cocaine, a time of homeless people in the streets,  a time for disco, and a time to party on.  I was fortunate to be living in the City then, making a little money, had the availability for drugs and liked to have fun.  I was in between wives and thought I was really hot shit at that time.

                                       

      I am probably giving a little too much information now, and maybe should just keep some of this to myself, but know that I was obviously not the only person who did all this. Actually I don't really know if I want my daughter to know this, but it's a little late now. With about 8 million people living in the city then, I am sure there are many of you that experienced some, if not all of what I did.  Being single I  went out  probably 6 nights a week but always managed to stay home on Saturday, or the entire weekend ,especially if I was lucky enough to have custody of my kids that weekend.

     The week days were usually pretty much the same.  Work till 6, walk home (how lucky to be living in the city), spend an hour at my rooftop pool and gym, then take a power nap, and wahoo.  Time to go out.  Take some ludes in the right pocket and some coke in the left.  What could be better ? Or so I thought .  Meet someone for dinner, do drugs, have sex, go to sleep about 3 or 4 am, and off to work by 7am.  Don't know how I did it then, but I did.  Of course there was always time for tennis, sports events at the garden, or the stadium,  shows, museums, business dinners and whatever.  And when I say whatever, I mean whatever.

     Which leads me up to one of the wildest and strangest happenings in NY.  The opening of Plato's Retreat.  Look at the video below, which clearly describes this whatever you want to call it.  Remember now, this was many years ago, and New York was crazy and untamed then.

By now you are thinking that I am a complete degenerate, but that is not true.  Plato's had very strict rules that had to be observed.  There were only straight and lesbian's permitted and you had to have a partner to get in.  This was in what is today one of the most expensive buildings in NY, and was once home to the Continental Baths.  I could go on explaining everything, but these links make for some good, fun, reading about what was, and will never be again.  I did go there once or twice, but probably more so to be able to say that I went there. The reality is this was the second location.  The first one was on 34 Th. St. and 10 Th. Ave which was really seedy, but then it moved uptown.  Success has a way of making things take  on a life of it's own.

                                                Plato's Retreat Commercial

If pictures speak a thousand words, then I am speechless now.  That's all gone now.  Gone are the days of Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll. (Maybe not) I am not quite sure why I felt the need to write and share this.  I think it was flipping forward and looking at a bunch of blogs the other day.  I said to myself that if I see another blog with ugly kids, with the &(*+& Family, with John and Jane camping, with nothing but ugly people telling their boring story of Gloria's 3rd birthday party, Bob's first bike ride, Harold and Maude going to church, on and on and on, I might just kill myself.

                                                 The End of Plato's
      I just had to share Plato's and a little bit of old New York Disco history to those few people that might either remember it, or try to wonder what it would have been like to experience it. Check out the links above as it is really interesting.

Complete and Utter Bullshit

READ CRaPUSA.com

Lets talk about Bullshit.  You bullshit, I bullshit, everyone we know bullshits. The only difference is the degree of bullshit.  I have googled Bullshit and cannot believe the number of pages devoted to bullshit.  It is amazing how much bullshit one can learn from reading about bullshit.

Right

      

     
Its amazing the number of facts that are available about bullshit. It is said that married women lie to their spouses about one out of every ten times.   I guess that makes up for the lies men tell their wives.  Who can you trust today ? Who is capable of telling the truth ? In fact, why is there reason to believe that anyone is capable of telling things the way they are ? Just look at most blogs, newspapers, television news, advertising, store ads, politicians, sales people etc. etc. etc.   Just go into your local car dealership to buy a car and listen to the bullshit you will get there.

Crapusa.com

           There are times when I just want to scream. It seems no matter who you talk to today there is a certain amount of bullshit that comes with it.  Your kids are certainly going to bullshit you. When it comes to money you will always get bullshit.  Ask your boss for a raise and see what kind of bullshit will go along with it.

More Bullshit by CRaPUSA.com  

Every now and then, however, you will meet someone who does not bullshit.  The problem is that can be very dangerous. Here is an example of something that is not bullshit.  I recently re-hooked up with someone who I hadn't seen for almost 4 years.  The last time I saw her she was pretty fucked up on drugs and everything that goes with that.  We have spent the last month seeing each other and spending time together.  She is great...She is smart. She is pretty. She has a personality that completely matches mine. She is also much younger than me.  She has plenty going for her , but somehow can't get that right break to really move forward.  She does not Bullshit. At least to me she doesn't.   Normally that would be a wonderful thing.  Problem is she will be so honest with me and tell me certain things about how she would love to go back to her old ways, although she is doing everything possible not to let that happen.  Hopefully she won't read this as that would probably piss her off.  I really hope she does make it and really hope she keeps that no bullshit attitude up.  It works.

WTF   crapusa.com

Didn't mean to get into that, but WTF, that is reality and that is what I write about. I hate bullshit. I hate liars. I hate braggart's. I hate showoffs....Naturally, a little exaggeration is OK, but what the fuck, we are all human.
     I also feel that lots of people feel the way I do.  Been writing this Crappy blog for about 2 years now and still enjoy doing it.  Obviously there are many people all over the world that feel the same way as I do.  I am shocked that about 3 to 4 thousand people read CRaPUSA on a daily basis. We are now read in 192 countries.  How the fuck is that possible.  It make me realize that I am just one little pawn in this vast universe who gets pissed off and upset about things that bother lots of others as well.

So I guess I will continue my rants and raves and continue to be Cynical, Ridiculous and Pathetic in my writings.  Thank you so much for reading this...Please feel free to add comments or email me at Larry@crapusa.com           
     
       
      

Sex Vs. Erectile Dysfunction = Problems

Lets face it, we all love sex. What can be better than good sex ?  Wait......Great Sex.......Sex is wonderful at any age.  It is fantastic in your teens and twenty's.  It's great in your 30's, and still fantastic into your 40's. Yikes.....Then it starts to get a little dicey into your 50's and above. I am positive it's your partner and that goes for both man or woman. Those of us have a craving for sex much more than others.  I have always been one that was never able to get enough sex.  Now that I am older, I still feel that way, but it is much harder to perform.  I am not speaking out of turn, but realize that above the age of 50................it requires some work.

I am a guy. I think like a guy. I act like a guy. I am an official member of the Man's Club. Like most older guys my age, I am probably somewhat of an animal.  There, I said it.  But that is not a bad thing at all.  I am very respectful of women. I will never abuse that, nor take advantage of a women. I treat women as nice as possible.  I like younger women.  I am not quite sure if I was able to successfully slide that by you ?  Anyway, we all have our likes and dislikes.  I love young and petite women. I never have, nor never will be able to have sex with an old or thick women. ( See how politically correct I can be? )  But that is me, and everyone is different.  I have discussed this with many of my friends and really have been able to reach a very definitive conclusion.....All men are full of shit when it comes to their discussions of having sex.  They will lie all the time.......I am completely honest.....Who am I kidding? That is so not true.

    

Those funny little pills that keep you erect are wonderful. You can buy them anywhere. On line, any doctor will give you a RX, and there are samples all over the place.  I personally love some of the ads for Cialis and Viagra the best.  You gotta admit they are funny.  I would love to make a commercial showing the facts and the before and after effect.  I would then like to make that same commercial with a pretty well built lady compared to a disgusting , cow shaped lady.  (Now ladies, please don't get mad at this, because you know this is reality).  

There is a reason for so many massage parlors and escorts around the world. I won't go into the reasoning for using their services, but we all know they are due to poor marriage's, and unfulfilled women (or men) that are in this marriage.
     I am convinced that prior to taking Viagra or one of those other E.D. drugs..........you older fellows try finding a cute, sexy, young lady and really decide if you do or do not need one of these little blue pills.  I think you will be in for a real surprise.

Sex Clinic.........the movie 1971

Instead of rambling on about Tiger, Jesse, The Boss, Elliot, and the countless other "Famous" celebs. that have been caught with their pants down, I thought I would just look at this 1971 movie about sex that actually takes place in a Sex Clinic.  I for one, could care less about who sleeps with who, and who got caught, and who is standing by who, or any of that crap. Lets face it. The only time any of us care is if our spouse , lover, or other gets caught or is suspected by you of cheating...... I can actually speak first hand at this as my last ex-wife was caught red handed by yours truly.  What a surprise that was, especially because I actually trusted her. Oh how stupid of me.  But then again, isn't that what love and marriage are supposed to be???? But if guys cheat..............it is usually OK, because somewhere in that "Guy Book", it is allowed on certain days in certain months.  This is really a touchy subject because I am sure most of you reading this know of, or have had a similar experience either with your wife, girl friend, or know of your best friend that has or had a problem.  The real problem is that none of us really care until the time it  hits home.
       OK, lets get back to Sex Clinic's. Now I am on track for my blog for today and it just about hits everything I like to blog about.  It's Ridiculous, it's Pathetic, and it's probably cynical depending how I talk about it.  In other words.................It is all Crap......... So , to you Tiger and whoever else deems fit to go to a Sex Clinic for doing whatever you did and will continue to do no matter what,............. I say to you.....FU.  Spend a few hours at the gym.......The results will be the same.
