Cruising public restrooms
Restrooms are not for cruising
Restroom &#;cruising&#;, that is, the social phenomenon where individuals congregate for sex in public restrooms through secret signals such as foot tapping-whether gay or straight-is inappropriate, and, in the year , outdated.
And, yes, straights engage in cruising, too, if not more. They execute it in unisex restrooms so common in bars and in establishments where the space for two separate restrooms is infeasible.
In days before Stonewall (the pivotal protest in that led to the modern gay movement), gays who wanted to hook up had few outlets to do so. For those men who wanted to sexually engage with other men, the common restroom became one of those outlets. Sure, they could go to bars, but they would be harassed by cops who would barge in and give law-abiding gays and lesbians a hard time.
Today, gays have an array of options from discos and bars to, of course, online web sites such as the perennially popular Adam4Adam. For those gays isolated in rural America, hooking up online is a godsend.

Some men enjoy cruising public restrooms because they’re turned on by the exhibitionism and the possibility of getting caught, while others see it as a place to anonymously and discretely have a same-sex encounter in times when being outed as queer carries severe social, political and legal consequences. 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).
