What does gay cruising mean
Brian Gerald Murphy
These days lots of gay guys are using Grindr for hooking up. But we didn’t always have sex available at our fingertips. For centuries (or longer!) gay and bi guys have set up ways to connect with each other, even when doing so was illegal. Most of us don’t come from queer families and so we don’t learn our LGBTQ history at home. So, I set out to unearth the ways that male lover and bisexual guys include met each other for friendship and sex. Here’s a brief history of gay cruising
These days lots of gay guys are using Grindr for hooking up. But we didn’t always have sex ready at our fingertips. From bathhouses to bars, sex parties to saunas, even to parks and bathrooms. Gay guys have set up a way to detect each other, even before Grindr.
For the past 11 years, up until this past January, I lived in New York City. It’s one of the centers of same-sex attracted life in the Combined States. It’s a port city and after the sailors returned home from World War II, many of the guys who had found connec
The act of driving around and going on a highway you've never been on. Perhaps getting lost intentionally. Getting lost in the roads and not caring if you ever find your way back abode. You're just out there looking for something but nothing at the identical time. Turn off your phone, shift up the tune and cruise.

"No your Cruising'"
by P Cruise November 22, 2009
A person who "cruises" is usually checking out someone they may already be interested in, or roaming the clubs and other venues looking for someone, usually for anonymous sex, or possibly even drugs. If accompanied by a crew, a cruise may involve hours of mindless party hopping while under the influence.

What comes to my mind is “iskeminen”, a call of action derived from the verb “iskeä”, which means primarily “to hit, to strike”, but also getting a sex significant other. It is normally resultative in such a meaning, i.e. expresses successful action, so it’s really not about searching. But we could say “Lähdetään iskemään tyttöjä” to mean “Let’s go searching for girls (with sexual intentions of some kind)”.
Hookup definition:
to hook up is to do anything from make-out to have sex, with someone you are not in a affair with

Secret Signals: How Some Men Cruise for Sex
Aug. 28, 2007 — -- While many Americans may only be vaguely familiar with the idea of "cruising," there is a secret world of sex between men that exists in public places across the country.
The police officer who arrested Sen. Larry Craig, R-Idaho, in a men's restroom at the Minneapolis airport for allegedly looking to engage in gay sex wrote in his June report that he "recognized a signal used by persons wishing to participate in lewd conduct."
Craig tapped his foot up and down and swiped his hand underneath the bathroom stall in which the undercover cop was sitting, according to the police report.
Those behavior led to Craig's arrest by Detective Dave Karsnia and the senator's culpable plea to a disorderly conduct attack. Craig told reporters today that he did nothing inappropriate and said his guilty plea was a mistake.
Public places like men's restrooms, in airports and train stations, truck stops, university libraries and parks, own long been places where gay and bisexual men, particularly those in the closet, congregate in order to gather for anonymous sex.
