I was reading an gay journey guide from , 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 comprehend when it was secure to signal to somebody? Don't you run the constant risk of an embarrassing and dangerous confrontation? Do you actually verb sex in the bathroom, or is a rendezvous point? And given that these locations are so well established that they appear in a journey guide, wouldn't they be easy pickings for the police?


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

Let&#;s Examine the Phenomenon of Cruising Bathrooms Through 4 Famous Queer Men

Throughout history and for a variety of reasons, queer men have looked to public bathrooms as places to get laid.

Cruising public restrooms has become 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 have become a common scenario in gay 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 dark side of queer sexuality and history that has been used to shame queer men for their otherwise harmless sexual proclivities (often in the name of protecting children or public decency).

Gay Bathroom Culture Question

Jophiel1

More back when I was a wee lad, but even on occassion now, I would view messages scribed into the walls of public bathrooms that read:

Looking to donate BJ

Red jacket by 3rd stall

Now then, since I wasn’t in the market to gave strange guys carry out that sort of thing to me, I can’t say I ever popped by at However, it seems to me that this is a beat way to get the crap beat out of you than to acquire some sort of earthly delight. So, I figure…
(A) Gay bashers announce such notes in request to beat up those who show up
(B) Gay people post such notes and are beaten up by gay bashers who respond
© Both A & B occur, which would make for an interesting sight.
(D) Gay people post such notes and are met by other gay people and all is well.
