Hamptons dune debauchery

EAST Hamptonites are trying to stop gay men from having alfresco sex in the secluded dunes of Two Mile Hollow beach.

Residents' complaints about men trespassing and urinating in the privately owned area of rolling coastline have spurred two meetings between community officials and gay rights organizers last week, reports the East Hampton Star. But the real story behind the complaints is the X-rated daylight sex-fests that most locals - gay and straight - are too shy to discuss.

"Trespassing" and "public urination" are polite code words, one East Hampton insider familiar with the situation tells PAGE SIX. "The guys are going out into the dunes to [conduct sex acts]. It's embarrassing to talk about, but that's what is at the bottom of it."

Our source also points out that dalliances in the dunes are dangerous to those involved: "You can get ticks!"

When East Hampton Village officials, members of the East End Gay Organization, and representatives of the National Conservancy met last week to discuss the goings-on in the dunes, an enviromentally protected area, EEGO delegates suggested putting a public restroom on the beach. That proposal remained unresolved last week, but EEGO is expected to put in a formal request for the facilities next month.

Others suggested that lifeguards be assigned to Two Mile Hollow to prevent bathers from wandering into the dunes.

East Hampton Village Police Chief Randall Sarris tells the Star residents are afraid to make any trouble for the growing number of beach-blanket bimboys.

"Complaints about some beachgoers' conduct at Two Mile Hollow are nothing new," he said. "What is new is that they are coming from a half-dozen or so different people. Residents have been reluctant to file formal complaints because of concerns about their security and property."

The community push to curb the sandy sexcapades coincides with the closing this season of the Hamptons' only gay bar.

For two decades, the Swamp in Wainscott had been a summer mecca for homosexuals. Its reputation was cemented back in the Studio 54 era by such regulars as Velvet Mafia godfathers Andy Warhol and Truman Capote. This summer, though, entrepreneur Jeffrey Goldstein re-opened the place as the very heterosexual Star Room. Ever since, area gays have made Two Mile Hollow's parking lot their new nocturnal rendezvous site.

Wow! Ticks are indeed dangerous.

Did I miss something? Has a cure for AIDS been found?

[nopardons]

Ticks carry Lyme disease.

[rmlew]

Oh great. The spot where I had my first beer was despoiled by a bunch of !@#$%s.

[billhilly]

"Ticks carry Lyme disease."

Are you blonde?

[Consort]

They got the dunes....can the berms be far behind?

[nopardons]

No; are you ?

Lyme disease , if not treated immediately, will leave a person in worse shape than HIV.

[MadIvan]

Well bloody great. Talk about instant nausea.

What is really awful is that the gays want a public restroom for this purpose. Hang on a mo, a public restroom is so people use the lavatory - it is not supposed to be a San Francisco bathhouse.

The fact that these people have to do this in public, random, anonymously, is just purely disgusting...the next time I hear some gay rights advocate shout out about the government getting out of the bedroom, I will tell him to get out of the sand dunes, public lavatories and so on.

Somehow it seems an appropriate place for these perverts to practice their debauchery. Fits right in with the rest of the scene there. Spread that aids there boys.

Sheesh...another spelling error in the NY Post.

That proposal was tabled when it was pointed out that a public restroom would be a big draw for George Michael.

Exactly, the hypocrisy of the gay lobby knows no bounds.

I've been reliably informed that George Michael got arrested a few times on this side of the pond for a similar offense. The only difference was that he was more successful in getting it covered up over here than he was over there.

Can anyone tell me what the word "alfresco" means? I must be behind in my English language.

[DainBramage]

"But.........that's what is at the bottom of it."

With the right emphasis it becomes a truism.

Well knock me over with a feather.....

What catches my eye is that the championing of the issue by the Gay Rights groups. I mean this is what they are fighting for? This is a gay right??? I understand that gays feel the need to organize into groups to address perceived "oppression" but how would you like to have joined and donated to some group thinking that you're fighting the good fight against housing and employment discrimination, gay parent rights, etc. and find instead that your particular group is fighting for the right of men to commit lewd acts upon each other in public places?

Long Island, where I live, has had numerous troubles with the homosexual penchant for anonymous sexual encounters in public places.

The Long Island Expressway (a.k.a. "The World's Longest Parking Lot") used to have a rest stop near eastbound Exit 66. That rest stop has been permanently closed, because homosexuals had made it into an open-air pick-up-and-get-it-on joint. Sort of a gay bathhouse with no baths, if you will.

Patchogue-Mount Sinai Road in central Suffolk County has a scenic overlook on it that is now used by the same crowd in the same way -- to such an extent that no non-homosexual can go there. Anyone who's not there for an anonymous sex act with a stranger is almost literally driven away.

This, in a metropolitan area that's legendary for its tolerance and its many accommodations to persons of alternative sexual practices. And they wonder why we don't regard them as "just another lifestyle."
