“You have no doubt heard this before, but in the ‘70s there was a tremendous amount of sex to be had in New York; it was the way it was when they talk about the oysters in the harbor, all you had to do was put out a hand and scoop it up: Hello there, lady, I just saw you walking down the street, would you like to have sex? No thank you, Gallant Gent, I have to organize my sock drawer, which will certainly take an hour, and by that time you will have given three women herpes, the worst sexually transmitted disease Greenwich Village has ever known, may science soon find a cure.”
