These Are the Most Popular Spots Where the Gays Love to Go Cruising
Here's where the gays love to cruise...

Cruising has been part of gay culture since the beginning of gay time. For much of our history, cruising – the act of going to a “cruising ground” to walk or drive around and search for a casual sex partner – has been a way to meet other gay men and have sex with them with discretion and anonymity.
Still, even with queerness being more socially accepted and legal in years past, cruising exists as a proud tradition and still-necessary activity. Even for people who don’t need the protection of anonymity and inside knowledge of gay culture, cruising can be an important part of learning about your sexuality, exploring, kink, and relationships.
While cruising is not as big a part of queer culture as it perhaps used to be, there are still many in the queer community who take part, and as part of their year-end DownLoad 2023 round-up, the popular cruising app Sniffies has collected information on where guys still like to cruise.
Here are the top five locations where the gays love to go cruise!
5. Universities

College is a place for exploring and experimenting, and cruising is one of the best ways to do both of those things!
4. The gym

The gym is already home to men sweating, grunting, showering, changing in front of each other, and deep male bonding, so it's the perfect place to add a little casual, anonymous sex.
3. Residential buildings

If the outdoors and public spaces are a little too... public for you, residential towers might be your ideal cruising spot! It still offers the anonymity and casual hookup nature of cruising, but with a little more control and safety.
2. Public restrooms

Public restroom sex is dirty, nasty, dangerous, and sexy as hell. Public restrooms have always been a classic cruising spot, and we don't see that going away any time soon.
1. The park

The ultimate cruising spot. Most major cities have at least one park that is well known, at least in the gay community, for cruising. There's lots of space to wander around, lots of poeple who come to the park to just walk around, plenty of secluded spots, and the beauty of nature.
