For some, gay cruising is a fetish, the rush of hooking up with a stranger in the night. For others who are closeted, it’s their only way to express their sexuality, and in some overseas countries, it’s the only way to get around dated laws (we’re looking at you Brunei…).
If you’re new to gay cruising in general, you may want to read our more in-depth introduction to gay cruising article here, before you read on!
Whatever your reason, if you’re going to try it out, you’re going to want to do it right. So, we’ve teamed up with Squirt.org to give you a couple of top cruising tips – you’re welcome.
Haven’t heard of Squirt.org before? Let’s give you the quick run-down. Squirt.org is the OG gay cruising platform, but in recent years has become so much more than that. It’s an online platform where guys meet other guys for sex, cruising, hook-ups, dating, fun and friendship (#wholesome). The website’s content is contributed entirely by the members who use it, so you know that tea is fresh hot. It’s a pro-sex platform, that’s there for getting down and dirty, both IRL, and also online.
1. BE IN THE KNOW
Darl, there’s nothing worse than having all the go, but not knowing where to go. So, make sure you do your research to find the best spots in town. Not sure where to start? Squirt.org have you covered, with a live list of local spots…see ya’ there sis’.
2. WHEN YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW
So, just because you’ve spotted your handsome hook up, doesn’t mean it’s time to go full balls to the walls. It may be a false alarm, could be a genuine late-night walker, so make sure, that you’re sure. Really sure. Make a subtle move, wait for them to reciprocate, then slowly go for it. If you’re unsure, it’s a no -go hun. When you know, you go!
3. WE STAN A FORWARD PLAN
Everyone loves a bit of spontaneity, but it pays to plan. Use a platform (did someone say Squirt.org??) to organise your cruise. Nothing worse than no one to meet when you’re at the beat.
4. KEEP YOUR WITS ABOUT YA’, HUN
Going anywhere alone has a degree of risk associated, add in late nights or discreet locations and you’re going to want to make sure you’re staying safe. So, make sure someone knows where you are and when you’re home (nothing like a ‘late night jog’, am I right boys??), make sure you know your surroundings, and make sure you’re not putting yourself in any compromising situations…safety wise.
