Sharing Cruising Stories

ThinkingDo you find it tricky to cruise on the gay scene or online?

Is there a cruising situation that you found difficult or that didn’t end the way you wanted it to? When have you felt most confident when cruising and why was that? GMFA, the gay men’s health charity, is inviting gay men to share their experiences, and their thoughts on what makes for successful cruising, to include in a new HIV-prevention booklet about cruising for sex. 

Some men seem to have no problem with cruising, and are confident enough to approach men they like and say no to sex they don’t want. Others might fear rejection, or end up having sex they later regretted. If you have a story you’d like to share, whether you feel it was a good or bad experience, you can post it anonymously on the GMFA blog at www.outspokenonhealth.com/cruising.
