The Seventies were sexy and sleazy. At the epicentre of it all was Plato's Retreat, the controversial, first-ever swingers club. In New York's conservative Upper West Side, Plato's embraced adventurous couples who came to dance, to swim, and... to swap. It was the start of a revolution. Plato's Retreat quickly emerged as the mainstay of public sex for the me generation, welcoming anyone and everyone. For only $35, couples checked their judgments and pedigrees at the door of this clothing-optional Disneyland; debutantes got it on next to bus drivers, as movie stars gave secretaries the starlet treatment. Plato’s was a utopia.
