Cruisingforsex.com features up-to-the-minute listings, cop alerts, opinionated reviews by cruisers in the field, maps–heck, there’s even a link to the Weather Channel’s Web site so you can make sure you won’t get rained on wherever you want to go cruising. I surfed onto cruisingforsex.com and three clicks later had a printout in my hands of more than 30 places in Minneapolis–some even accessible by skyway!–where men go to have life-affirming, police-annoying, and sometimes ill-advised anonymous sexual encounters.
But before you run out to Dayton’s on your lunch break (or apply for a job there), listen to what Keith had to say about cruising for public sex in Minneapolis: “There’s a big crackdown going on there right now. If this man is worried about discretion, he should go to an adult bookstore instead of a bathroom or park. Some bookstores have parking lots in the rear and rear doors. While men have been busted in bookstores, that’s not happening right now in Minneapolis. Men having sex in parks or public toilets are being arrested, however.” What happens to men who get busted for doing it in public? “If they’re willing to fight, most can get off. But in this man’s case, he could lose his wife and maybe custody of his children if he has any. In some states, an arrest for public consensual sex could result in your name being placed on a list of sex offenders and you may have to register with the police for the rest of your life.”
No one gets hurt? It’s healthy? What about STDs? “The majority of HIV transmissions, to take one example, happen in bedrooms, and it’s usually people who know each other. If all you need to point to in order to disallow certain kinds of sexual expression is the transmission of a disease, well, what kind of sex would be allowed then? People in monogamous relationships have given each other diseases. Should the police bust men in monogamous relationships?”
I don’t know about Jeff, but I like ejaculating. Guys who don’t are welcome to pick up Mantak and Doug’s book, but I predict there won’t exactly be a long line outside Barnes & Noble tomorrow morning.
