ManOverboard got a reaction from thomas in Getting to Fire Island
Check out Dancer from the Dance and Fgots (famous Larry Kramer novel; I can't write the full title because it's not allowed, but you can guess). Both novels from 1978, but it sounds like nothing much has changed since they were written.

ManOverboard got a reaction from CarolinaRen in Glory hole etiquette
Last summer Andrew Holleran published a novel — The Kingdom of Sand — set in small-town Florida. A spot such as CarolinaRen described upthread features prominently, although I don't think there were any military bases around to juice up the action.

La! Don't you hate when that happens?!!
I was once hosted by a family who not only didn't bring their chef but left the chauffeur behind too. I'd given my valet the week off and there we were with nothing but a gardener, two maids and a butler who had just turned Hare Krishna and wouldn't serve anything that had ever walked on four legs. 🐮
Fortunately I had been to the Edibles Emporium before getting on the ferry and had brought a week's supply of gummy worms.
Gummies for breakfast, gummies for lunch and gummies for dinner. The wine cellar was stocked too, so at least we had something to wash them down with. 🥴
I can't remember if we were in the Grove or the Pines or even if we were on an island. I'm pretty sure it was on the East Coast though as I don't recall anybody wearing any tie dye.
Ah, you can't buy memories like that.
