I watched a documentary about this place and in the documentary a guy said the madrass rom( a place where many people had orgy sex) was the moraly hardest rom for people. I noticed he used the word moraly. People who engage in activities like this are fighting their own conscience. Adultery is wrong. The guy who owned the place said that it was scientificaly proven the soap in platos retreat killed AIDS, he didn't care about other people.

Midnight Blue was awesome for the commercials alone. When you're advertising "that great disco beat" you aren't gonna last all that long.

That said, to be upper middle class living in Manhatten must have been the cat's ass back then. What a glorious era!
