A simple guide to cruising

Cruising is spontaneous sex with strangers in public places without prior arrangement. It relies on nonverbal cues to signal interest and discretion is maintained throughout the encounter.

• Find a location and read the description to see if it interests you; it might be a good idea to map out multiple places nearby to visit
• Learn the signals and cues
• Show up and go to the correct area for cruising
• Many parks and cruising grounds are after-dark play only; you can always visit beforehand in the daytime to learn the layout
• Comment on the location's listing to let other guys know you're present
• Wait... cruising is a waiting game
• Find a potential guy and cruise him
