I was wondering if anyone here is old enough to remember this place in NYC and would like to share your experience(s) there and what you thought about it , what your best memory was and if you ever met or entered into a relationship (even briefly or as "fuck buddies) as a result of meeting there. I've always been curious about this place and the time period (1970's)..when it was supposedly most popular. Was it common for porn stars to frequent here or possibly any porn scenes shot here, etc . And also, are there any clubs in the US today that are comprable to Plato's or as popular ? Look forward to any and all comments, stories, etc...thanks !

There was a classic adult film Plato's Retreat West based on the club. West would refer to West 34th Street, the club's second location.
There is some information here on the club.

In an interview from long ago a journalist asked Ron Jeremy about his experience at Plato's Retreat. Jeremy described the place as "great place, while everyone else was busy screwing I would spend the evening at the complimentary buffet".
This line pops out of my memory every time I hear "Plato's Retreat".

I'm still curious about this place . Was this ever used in any porn films for scenes ? seems like while viewing some video sites I saw a scene where there was an orgy or a couples scene where Plato's was used. Can anyone confirm or deny or give information on this or how many xxx movies.(if any) used Plato's for their scenes.
Also, are there places similar to Plato's in the USA that still exist or are they just "swingers clubs" for "couples only" or private membership. Im a single male, so most of what I've heard about swingers clubs wouldnt apply..since seemingly you must be w/a woman to enter. This is still a big fantasy of mine to attend 1 of these for a night/weekend, whatever...even if not a participant, but maybe at minimum..a "voyeur" for a night. Would love to make this fantasy a reality someday..any suggestions ?

It isn't an XXX movie, but American Swing uses archival footage of the club.
