Probably mean Jay, Sally, Molly, and Roger and their understanding of loofahs.

[JMintzer]

Same "story" that was in the NY Post... Garbage...

[Dr Winston O Boogie jr]

This nonsense pops up every few years. As one person said, they are simply a way of finding your car in a parking lot.

Give us all a break already.

[ThirdOfFive]

Give us all a break already.
Ditto.

Reporters are just jealous they are missing all the fun.
Their wives are too ugly to swap!

Loofa Love At The Villages (https://wcsx.com/2022/10/18/loofa-love-at-the-villages/)

Seems the rumor has reached Detroit. That is next to the article on the talking dog.

[thelegges]

So whoever is writing the article, the pictures are mesh shower puff balls, or bath sponge, made of non organic materials. Can be called a loofah, but not by those who actually own loofahs.

Loofahs are naturally only one color.light wheat color, or commonly known at the design center as village beige, made from fibrous tropical fruits. Used to exfoliate skin, and can do damage if not properly softened in warm water. Color is not their friend.

So when one goes to Disney or universal you will see mesh shower puff balls on cars to distinguish their car from the hundreds of rental cars.

Unless it’s code at Disney or Universal that those in the cars swing to all theme parks.:1rotfl:

[RICH1]

I use a grout sponge….

[I'm Popeye!]

BS, it's another plan of action by the Villages to get more sickos to buy houses here.

[New Englander]

I want in on this fun. Where can I buy one of those Loofah thingy's?

[Velvet]

After coming to TV for 24 years to visit relatives I have never heard of these Loofahs. I haven’t seen them much either maybe I’m just not looking hard enough in the parking lots. I looked at mine and it’s grey in the bathroom to match the towels and that color doesn’t seem to be on the list. But I have a question; can anyone start a rumor? I think I could come up with a good one.

It is funny that the group would probably change their items if they were very public and go to some other kind of signal.

[OrangeBlossomBaby]

It's the Daily Mail. And the NY Post. No one should be surprised by this, at all. I wouldn't even be surprised if the Morse family fed the old rumor to them. There's no such thing as "bad press" as they say.

[JMintzer]

Did it work? LOL!

If the secret handshake is known by everyone they are going have to find something other than loofahs.

Do you use the upside down pineapple instead.

The loofah’s have been around at least 4 years as someone was handing them out at the home show. Car or golf carts have them so look if interested.

[retiredwineladys]

A typical stupid male response.

[Sandy and Ed]

More of the usual BS. Good friends of ours moved here (i.e., “den of iniquity and perverse pleasures”) from Maine years ago. Their relatives, friends and neighbors gave them a farewell party complete with gag gifts. It was more like a frisky bachelorette and bachelor party. Seems like the media won’t let it go.
First it was the color of a ladies shoes …….now luffas (???). Ridiculous!!!! There is no “there” here.

Old and outdated news Jim. Please find something new to spread around

Funny! I suspect that shower puff balls on golf carts are primarily used by a few people to help them remember where they parked. Or maybe they are to remind people to exfoliate. Of course, if you are a swinger, it can be difficult to remember where you parked. So to speak. Please consider shower puff balls as representing sexual tastes to be a complete hoax. There are several dozen swingers in The Villages, just as there are very rare cases of STDs. Some estimates claim that 2.35% of Americans are swingers (that seems unlikely), and if that held true here, we would have over 3,000. We don’t. And our STD rate is FAR below the national average. After all, most of us are home watching television by 8 p.m., and most of us haven’t had a new partner in decades. Or sex in decades, for that matter.

Now, if you see someone wearing an upside down pineapple, on the other hand, that might mean something. And I do enjoy a good pineapple upside down cake. I had some on my birthday.

[NoMo50]

Has anyone ever actually met an admitted "swinger" here? If they are so pervasive, surely someone has met one in the flesh. If they actually exist, they must be hanging out with Bigfoot in his lair, or perhaps they were all abducted by aliens.

[Sunny923!]

Investigative reporting from a drag queen. Yeah now thats interesting! Not.

Yes. He moved to Clearwater. His pooch had a mohawk. All the rest of the dog's body was shaved except for the middle of his head.

[msilagy]

My girlfriend many years ago was approached in Katie Belle's to join a swinger party. Older lady, very conservatively dressed, not attractive per se. Anyway I was dancing when I saw a man and a woman talking to her (found out later they were husband and wife) asking if she would like to join a swingers party later that evening. They said there were a couple men upstairs at the bar that would accompany her. She said NO and walked away. Just like any other city and town in America this does exist. So be it. Not interested.

[MrFlorida]

I hear about this all the time from my jealous friends... LOL

[Worldseries27]

king of agree. It's like the lawyers questioning the defendant with " so when did you stop beating your dog"

Slow news day.

[PJackpot]

Investigative reporting from a drag queen. Yeah now thats interesting! Not.

Exactly what I was thinking... a real legitimate source of information. Some freak drag queen. Hey, look. loofahs...can only mean one thing. :rolleyes:

[Carlsondm]

That's a non molding nylon scrubby, not a loofa. How else can I find my car???? :)

[stancella]

Jim: Totally off subject, my brother worked at (FLETC), up until a year ago. Perhaps you knew him...Adam Martin?

Admitted, not sure but the Villages do offer swing lessons.

[Garywt]

Oh yes, the color of shoes. Is it red or gold, at City Fire outside bar. Don’t forget to bring your cash.

[Barborv]

Unless I hear it from the horse's mouth (A true swinger) it's a lot if crap. Sooo... if there is any truth to this and you are a person who uses the sponges for this purpose, please confirm!!!

[Barborv]

I always tell people back home when someone says stuff like this, "That I'm insulted"! No one has ever asked my husband and I to swing with them.!! LOL And we're attractive people I think, well my friends say it about my husband all the time and tease me to watch out for the single ladies in the Villages! haha Also the pineapple is another!

[New Englander]

I just returned from Walgreens. I bought a White Loofah because the color white is for beginners. I attached it to my golf cart and heading to Brownwood. The Viagra is in my pocket "just in case".

[JMintzer]

A typical stupid male response.

It would help if you quote to whom you're making your insulting remark...

I could make a similar comment about "typical stupid women", but that would be insulting and rude...

[JMintzer]

Now, if you see someone wearing an upside down pineapple, on the other hand, that might mean something. And I do enjoy a good pineapple upside down cake. I had some on my birthday.

Damn! Now I'm hungry!

I wouldn't be interested either, but it would be nice to be asked...:p

[I'm Popeye!]

Do you use the upside down pineapple instead.

Why are you upset, are you one of those :loco: ... :1rotfl::1rotfl:

[MX rider]

Why are you upset, are you one of those :loco: ... :1rotfl::1rotfl:

We are friends with a couple here in Indiana that are very much into swinging, they're both 50. They even asked us if we would like to try it with them. lol. We politely declined.

With 130K population, I'm sure it goes on to some extent in TV. It's not as uncommon as many people think.

The upside down pineapple is a thing for swingers, according to our friends. But as far as the colored loofas in the villages, I have no idea on that.

But it does make for a fun discussion.

[Velvet]

So where do those upside down pineapples hang out? I’d really like to see what one looks like. Or are they in the parking lot too? My eyesight can’t be that bad.

[bark4me]

Reporters are just jealous they are missing all the fun.
Their wives are too ugly to swap!
I have all the different color loofahs on my car. I Like to keep everyone guessing

Sure, there are sick nuts everywhere out there. As a man, I can't hand out my wife to another man, especially for his woman that has probably been squashed flat thousands of times.. :ohdear:

There must be a club for it, have you looked through the list. It would be interesting to see the swingers club in the Christmas parade.

[manaboutown]

There must be a club for it, have you looked through the list. It would be interesting to see the swingers club in the Christmas parade.

Likely several such clubs are up and running. Swinging is quite common, especially in small towns. People get bored.

[Mikee1]

That listing is incomplete, it has left out most of the important ones, such as:
Bi
BDSM
Slave
Mistress
Dominatrix
Bondage

The list goes on. Bad Reporting, again

[Bilyclub]

Having read the actual article I can see that they did provide some comments that debunk the premise, but why publish it at all ?

I would love to participate in the loofah thing, but I am color blind. Could be very embarrassing.

[PugMom]

I use a grout sponge….

:beer3:

[FloridaLady]

I have them to help me find my car. Think I will get them for golf cart also. Took me over 15 min the other day at LSL to find golf cart during chili/beer/home show.

[Whitley]

I want in on this fun. Where can I buy one of those Loofah thingy's?

Amazon. I ordered a few then tied one on my in-laws cart last time I visited. They have not mentioned it yet. Been two months. I'm getting concerned.

[Whitley]

So where do those upside down pineapples hang out? I’d really like to see what one looks like. Or are they in the parking lot too? My eyesight can’t be that bad.

For my generation a pineapple was the sign of welcome. I had one in each guestroom of the house, along with a crystal one. The crystal ones came to Fl with me. I was shocked when someone asked me about the meaning behind it. One other bit of advice, while going over the Sunshine Skyway bridge, DO NOT stop in those little lots amongst the mangroves to rest.They are now being used as a hookup place for alternate lifestyles.

[Whitley]

Jim: Totally off subject, my brother worked at (FLETC), up until a year ago. Perhaps you knew him...Adam Martin?

Does he have a loofah on his cart? Ooops sorry, a non molding nylon scrubby?

[Whitley]

Tell me what color you want and I will put it on for you. You can trust me:loco:

I've seen them mostly on the north end..... the sentence is "Helen, do you remember which color was on my car?" because they can't find them especially when you see 14 white SUVs parked in a row.....LOL
