I was recently in Terminal F ATL restroom. Myself and some rando middle aged guy standing at the urinals, taking a piss. He was about 5 urinals down and finished before me and stepped back. I looked over and he was rubbing his hard cock while looking at me. I’m no prude, but it took me off guard and I quickly finished and walked out feeling flustered. Clearly I need to watch this video, having missed most of the clues. I still don’t know if I was flattered or repulsed, I mean his cock was huge.

I read Everything You Wanted To Know About Sex and there was a bit in there about guys cruising in a bowling alley bathroom. It was meant to be a little mean to the bathroom cruisers but the idea turned me on.

The first time I ever did it I was in a JC Penney, and a guy tapped his foot, and then opened his door when I did. Looked like the brawny man and had a big swollen cock. I didn't do much, got panicked and ran out, but it didn't take me long after to try again and succeed.

In the 70s, 2nd floor men's room in the huge standalone Sears at the corner of Peachtree & W. Paces Ferry Rd. in Buckhead (Atlanta), long gone and replaced with high rises in the late 80s. Never less than 10 horny men standing against the wall outside the cubicles just waiting. Those cubicles were a fellatio factory. Sears had to know what was going on in there but never did a thing about it. The suckers (more often than not Sears employees on their breaks) would position themselves in the cubicles taking any and all suckees for as long as they could. Once their shift was up they'd exit and be replaced by another. All day, every day.

Oooh, you might want to tell the bathroom cruisers, then.

It may not be in the dependable department store any longer (since they're all but dead) but there's nothing like slurping on a fat married cock in a Home Depot or Lowe's, which is where the action is at these days.

by Anonymousreply 25September 22, 2021 2:04 PM

I discovered cruising in my early 20s. I was jogging along the trails and some hot ass wearing nothing but little onion skin shorts was off the trail a little bit. He was clearly enjoying himself and the attention. I ended up blowing him. I was pretty back then so turning heads was easy and so was I. These days the only thing I turn is stomachs.

I've been in a lot of mens rooms and I have never been cruised or aware of any cruising or sexual activity going on. No tapping or loitering or anything. No one has engaged me in conversation or tried to catch my eye. I've never seen or heard any sexual activity. Just men pissing and shitting and getting the hell out of there.

That's not unusual. It's not like every single one is cruisy.

They either tend to be out of the way, or in places where a large number of people come through (like an airport).

Although....sometimes I think it's something that you don't see until, well, you see it, and then you start to notice it all the time.

by Anonymousreply 29September 22, 2021 2:29 PM

And the "out of the way" element is, I think, more important than he says in the video.

Part of the trick is that you have to be somewhere that isn't going to be interrupted constantly. Especially by kids, or old men, etc. I cruised the two malls nearest me in the 80s and while cruising DID go on in the main mall bathrooms, it was always much safer and more productive to cruise in the department store restrooms, which were a bit off the beaten path.

Sometimes, if a guy met me in a busy bathroom, I'd ask him to meet me at a smaller, less busy one. Had a few very hot suck sessions with guys who followed me to the quieter one and took their time feeding me cock and cum.

The cruiser/cruisee will always find the spot, no matter where it is. And it's unlikely that a rando straight dude is gonna walk in there, see what's happening, say, "Oh, I coulda had a V8!" and just unzip to be sucked. Those going to those spots are looking for actions.

[quote] Those going to those spots are looking for actions.

R30 - and they are people who are closeted or are in places with few gay-specific venues or they are just plain weird. Even in conservative Glendale, there was a bookstore with an openly gay owner and gay employees. We would meet there and take our business elsewhere...they did the same in the 1970's though some queens got it on in the deposit or the single-stall bathroom (key only). But it wasn't "gay only" and was frequented by straights and families too, which didn't bother us at all. Same with a video store in Silverlake. There was an adult section and some screwed around in the back or employee bathroom. Again, liberal LA...so it wasn't gay only and diverse demographics came, so we had our specific spots. Never in a big, mixed bathroom where straights who were there would come in and piss. For me, that would be a total dick wilter. Like, WTF? How do you even get horny knowing dad and lil' Johnny are peeing and chatting about a book for English 101? Or the last copy of Toy Story?

by Anonymousreply 31September 22, 2021 2:58 PM

There was a JCPenney I went to in my little corner of the rust belt.

We almost never had anyone in that restroom who wasn't cruising. It was in a corner of the store where no one ever went.

It really was heaven. I probably went there a few dozen times over the years and I never, ever had to wait more than five minutes before some guy came in. My favorite was a guy who looked like Phil Dunphy of Modern Family. (This was late 80s so years before I knew who that was, obviously) He had glasses and always nicely dressed.

But yes, cruising has diminished to a considerable degree because it depended to a big degree on the closet or that guys were sneaking around. Guys will always be on the creep, as it were, but they have other options now. Craigslist replaced cruising nicely for a while until that also got shot down.

There is cruising in this Romanian city and even an online place where they state their location. The problem? Lots of the guys are Arab and African students. A twink at work said to avoid them as they are unpredictable (some Arabs are "passing" so you don't know). He got death threats after the blow job. Told me about another engineering student who some African student fucked and then punched in the back of the head in the park.

Finally, the security guards are on to it. Most let it slide but if a more "vigilant" one suddenly does a "bathroom check" and finds out he may call the cops. Two guys were arrested in a mall bathroom in 2019. Since the pandemic started, not only the police, but the far more hardcore riot police in black berets are everywhere. If those guys catch you...they hurl you into their van, take you down to the station and open a criminal file. That goes for straights too. A misguided German couple got high and screwed in the Zara (!!!) dressing room during the music festival and were arrested and charged. I guess the moral of the story is...don't suck in public in Transylvania cuz they don't fuck around.

In ancient history I was a 20 year old traveling cross county and a great adventure. I was taking the train from Boston to New York and had a "layover" in New Haven. I think I wanted to see Yale. Waiting mid-week, mid-day in the cavernous old New Haven station I went into the restroom to piss. One of those old restrooms with 20-30 urinals up on a little platform. I unzipped and started to piss and an older man who had followed me in took the urinal right next to me. I knew it was weird, I sensed from him this desperate hunger. At that point I didn't even know my own orientation - at least not in any way that suggested action. I was confused and zipped up quickly and left the restroom. He also left and lingered in the station until my train left.

The British used to call it "cottaging" right? All I knew is that some energy had been laid over me,, and stayed for the rest of the trip. The streets were dark with something more than night.

I also cruised the MBTA and the Blue Line out to Wonderland was always good for picking out a hot guy or two. I had a very hot stroke session one night with two guys then they took me home and I was spit roasted on both sides!

According to my talks with the famous Fassbender muse, Barbara Valentine, young Freddie Mercury would cruise bathrooms in all kinds of locations (rest areas, truck stops...you name it). His "music manager" who backstabbed him and spilled the beans for about £30K was also his pimp and drug dealer. His name was Peter and he was portrayed as the "evil homosexual" in the movie. Actually, it was Freddie's girlfriend who pushed to bring him on board because apparently the famous performer was so fond of rough trade that she feared for his life and would say that he would get himself killed. Prenter and Freddie were also FWB and, sadly, both died within months of each other. Prenter sold pictures of Freddie in bed with loads of men he "procured".

She had a bad marriage with Claude Rains and her career sagged while mooching around Hollywood. Hitchcock gave her a small part as Cary Grant's sidekick in 'Suspicion' in '41.

Back in England she appeared in a Wilde play dressed by Beaton. And ten years later Beaton suggested she play the courtesan's teacher in 'Gigi'.

You younguns simply don't understand. Many, if not most, of us here were around long before you were born. Back in the old days being out & proud was not nearly as easy as it is today. We were much more sexual than you kids are today and the availability of places for some impromptu action were far more than today. Plus, we didn't have AIDS to worry about. The worst thing we had to worry about was a case of the clap, and if you got it you simply went down to the local VD clinic, got a jab, and that took care of that.

Personally I never specifically looked for action in public restrooms. Too many other people around who weren't looking for action. I went for places where they provided spaces specifically for hot action and where everyone was of the same mind, horny-ready-willing. That's not to say there weren't a few times when the opportunity presented itself in other places. Opportunities I admit to having taken advantage of. In particular, while driving across country in 1978 I stopped for gas at a nice looking gas station off the freeway outside Dallas, Tx.. Their restroom facility, though small, was immaculately clean with no urinals, only 2 cubicles that had a quite convenient glory hole between them. There I encountered the sexiest looking cowboy with his Levis down around his ankles on the other side obviously there for one thing. And being the giving sort that I am, I gave him exactly what he wanted.

I don't want to lie back and think of England during a sexual encounter with my similarly sexless prisspot boyfriend that lasts the length of the Golden Girls opening theme.

No.

There are no security cameras INSIDE bathrooms.

There's never cameras inside a bathroom.

Security may set up a camera in the areas leading back to a bathroom if they suspect someone is going in and out frequently. Another reason why once I went in, I stayed in and stayed in my stall - usually escaping the notice of any possible guard patroling.

I don't think mall restrooms were ever spots for police surveillance, unless the store asked for their help (and that would be rare). More often, it would be a security guard.

I got caught once when I'd skipped school to go cruise, in a Horne's of all places. The guard took me to the police station and told me an officer would come talk to me, but they were shorthanded. When I realized he had left, I calmly got up and left the station. They didn't chase me. I'm sure technically they could have charged me with disorderly conduct or something but they didn't.

The more frequent place you'd see an undercover cop would be a place like a public park. I think they had jurisdiction in those areas.

I know everyone will scream "Nifty!" but I remember being in the woods next to the public beach, jacking off a burly, hot daddy with an extremely fat dick. When we were done, he zipped up and walked a little bit ahead of me as I took a different path out of the woods, and I could hear and see him saying "[city we were in] Police" to two older guys that were playing there. It made me ill, not so much that he would come after me but the feeling that he was a turncoat.

by Anonymousreply 131September 24, 2021 9:03 PM

There were only two places to cruise(that I heard of)because I lived in a rural area, and one of them was a park a couple of towns over where a guy got the shit kicked out of him by a group of teenagers when he made the mistake of hitting on one of them.

You know, it’s not that some of us “younguns” have no interest in cruising, it’s simply the state of the world today.

I’m sure cruising in 1978 was an exciting, fun thing. But the onset of AIDS, homo homicide, public arrest & shame from “law & order” politicians, and YES the convenience of doing things online have changed things Y’all talk about the golden days of CraigsList all the time.

Most of the above precedes Millennials really….

There's a silver haired daddy in my Swiss city like that one in the tearoom. Except this Swiss daddy is even more handsome/lurchy and super charming, and his dick is 10 inches easily. He was in all the cruise spots in the early 2000s and they were very active. I guess he must have been late 50s even 60 back then! Yet he was very popular! Every Twink and upward wanted to get with him.

I remember a beautiful Polish daddy I'd run into from time to time in my favorite downtown department store men's room. He was a writer and a bit "lurchy" (think Richard Moll) but he had a beautiful cock and I watched once as it shot a huge load. Unfortunately even in my late 20s I was a bit older than he liked. He was all about the college boys and the poor waifs.

Well, they pull out their smartphones in nearly every cruising place that still exists, r145, which is partly why I don't cruise anymore.

Public restrooms, parks, bathhouses; adult bookstores. There's always somebody collecting videos or trying to build up his OF or Pornhub account.

I spent countless hours every week cruising various spots in a handful of cities in the northeast US for over a decade and never got video recorded as far as I know. If there is a video out there, I’d like to see it! One time I thought I saw one of myself in a NYSC locker room, but it wasn’t me upon closer inspection. I was excited by the prospect, though.

By the way, Grindr is no substitute for any of this. It’s way easier to get action—and LOTS of action—by showing up in person to these spots and just whipping it out, than it is to try to court a prospective hookup on Grindr for god knows how long. Especially since Grindr is mostly the dregs of the gay population now (plus some trans of course).

Not every bathroom is filled with the smell of poop, either, as someone insinuated upthread. There are certain bathrooms in various buildings that rarely get used *except* by cruisers.

I’ve had so many exhilarating, shocking, hilarious, ecstatic times in bathrooms, parks, video stores, locker rooms, etc., I can hardly remember them all. I am not ashamed, and I wouldn’t want to un-do any of it. Looking forward to it starting up again, post-Covid.

by Anonymousreply 151September 27, 2021 2:19 AM

There is some generational confusion here. Bathrooms used to be kept immaculately clean. Especially in department stores, offices, hotel lobbies, airports, banks, and a lot of public spaces.

They had people called custodians who’s full time job was to keep the restrooms sparkly clean. There were whole departments dedicated to sanitation. A dirty restroom was a big no-no and was not tolerated.

If you go into a restroom these days it’s filthy. Maybe it gets cleaned once a day. Maybe.

Dear r151,

We are not talking about "over a decade" three decades ago.

We're talking about 2021, when everybody has a smartphone, social media and monetizing websites like OnlyFans and Pornhub.

I started noticing video cameras, then phones in steam rooms, gym locker rooms, bathhouses and orgies at gay resorts in the aughts. So I basically stopped cruising by 2012 and so did most of the men at my gym.

If you don't believe me, just search any freetube site for "hidden camera," "cruising," "toilet," "locker room" or "glory hole" and you'll see plenty of privacy invaded.

Hot cowboy at a rest stop driving across the states, super sexy man waved his huge dick at me , it was huge and asked me If I wanted more. He had a big truck, hauling horses in the lot. One of the absolute best memories of my life. I was 17 and with very little experience. He was amazing. Looking back , I think he had a thing for teenagers, but he could not have been over 25. I’d have loved to find out how his life is. Is he happy? God knows he changed my life.

A few years ago I was in a sports bar after work. There were only a few people there since it was Monday about 4:30. A guy who delivered Red Baron Pizza came in and sat a few seats from me. He had curly black hair, looked to be late 30s or early 40s. We both nodded to each other. I went to the restroom. There were 4 urinals and 1 toilet. I was at a urinal and he came in just stood in front of the urinal beside me and pulled out a beautiful thick cock. If I had not been such a chicken shit I would have taken him over to the stall and sucked him off. I just walked out, payed my tab and left.
