Cruising a Hotel Basement Bathroom in Look for of My Gay Lineage

Let’s say you have a half-hour to kill in midtown Manhattan around 7 p.m. Surely somebody needs their dick played with.

I don’t know why my horned-up Neanderthal brain always thinks it’s worthwhile to seek out somebody decently attractive to hook up with on a moment’s notice. Maybe it’s a smartphone millennial thing. Maybe it’s the pseudo-nostalgia I have for the fast-paced cruising encounters depicted in homosexual films, literature and anecdotes from friends. Men in the right mood detect each other at the right age and the right place, and sparks fly. 

Or at least so I’m told. Because this flawless synergy has happened to me maybe only once or twice in my decade of a gay sex being, and I wouldn’t describe them as especially good sexual experiences either. 

But for some reason, this magical possibility seems like enough of a basis to still pursue it all the period. And so, I find myself wandering between Seventh and Eighth Avenues peering into a sterile chain cafe too overwhelmed by tourists for me to sit in accord. It’s cold, too, so my hands are going numb from idly refreshing a gay cruising app that I’ll identify by nam

How did toilet cruising work?

I was reading an same-sex attracted travel guide from 1980, and it reminded me that I've never understood the mechanics of the toilet pick-up. One of the notable features of the guide is that among all the bars and bathhouses listed, many locations also suggest cruising toilets. This seems soinherently sketchy. How would you know when it was safe to signal to somebody? Don't you dash the constant risk of an embarrassing and unsafe confrontation? Do you actually have sex in the bathroom, or is a rendezvous point? And given that these locations are so well established that they appear in a travel guide, wouldn't they be easy pickings for the police?


Any info or stories about etiquette and risk mitigation would be of interest.

Bonus points if you can explain how toilet cruising worked in an international context. After a strong warning about how dangerous cruising is in the Middle East, for example, the guide lists toilets in Syria and Kuwait. There are similar listings throughout the earth. While cruising in the U.S. sounds risky, it seems like only those with a death aspire would cruise toilets as a tou

Let’s Examine the Phenomenon of Cruising Bathrooms Through 4 Famous Queer Men

Throughout history and for a variety of reasons, gender non-conforming men have looked to public bathrooms as places to get laid. Some men enjoy cruising public restrooms because they’re turned on by the exhibitionism and the possibility of getting caught, while others notice it as a place to anonymously and discretely possess a same-sex run-in in times when being outed as queer carries harsh social, political and legal consequences.

Cruising widespread restrooms has change into an ingrained part of queer history, with mixed feelings surrounding it. On one hand, it’s considered so seedy, sexy and transgressive that “toilet tramp” hookup scenes hold become a ordinary scenario in queer porn (and even inspired drawings of gay erotic illustrator Tom of Finland).

On the other hand, it’s also considered by some to be a gloomy side of gay sexuality and history that has been used to shame queer men for their otherwise benevolent sexual proclivities (often in the mention of protecting children or public decency).

Noting both sides, male lover video game architect Robert Yang made a bathroom cruising video game in 2017 entitled The
