There are also body-geography and sexual-topology students-erotic spelunkers of a sort. Since the modified screenplay distantly related to From Here to Eternity, fornication in the surf has become the desideratum, so that the brief tussle in the sea foam has now become a standard image of suggestion, and when the waves keep on breaking in, all by themselves, you know what...
