Gym Cruising: How To, the Queer Way

Some of us go to the gym to maintain our mental and physical health. Some of us go to the gym to watch the other hot guys sweat and show off their bulges and muscles. And some of us go to the gym to cruise and find ourselves a hot stud. Some of us gays do all three things. How many gym saunas have a sign that says "No Cruising?" LOL. It happens! Hey, when the testosterone hits, the endorphins kick in, our muscles get sweaty, and our ass is plumping, of course we get horny! Sometimes we just can't log onto Grindr and see how is around, we have to do things the old-fashioned way and cruise! The art of cruising has diminished, but it is part of our gay hookup history and should not be forgotten! Here are some tips you should consider when gym cruising. Also, as always, know your environment and surroundings, be safe. You're welcome.

Demographics Are Everything

Don't expect cruising activity or even being tolerated cruising. You aren't going to be successful in a gym in a small town in the Midwest. Know your surroundings. Find a gym that is gay-centric in a town that has a good gay population. Gyms in big cities like Los Angeles and New York will have more than their fair share of gays looking. If you are in a small town, talk to your local gays and see where they workout. Just be aware, the smaller and more conservative the town, the more likely they are gonna be on the watchout for the naughty gays. Don't get caught doing your shenanigans!

Hit the Locker room

Some guys cruising at the gym don't everyone to know their business, or they don't to be caught staring at your bulge or winking at you. Most of the cruising will happen a bit more discreetly, like in the locker room. Pay attention to who is watching you change, shower, etc. Also, notice if a guy is taking more than a slow time in undressing and changing, they are looking! If someone catches your gaze and stares for more than 2 seconds, they are looking right at you! Also in the locker room, you'll get to see what they are packing.

The Outfit

The outfit during cruising is everything. Wear gym clothes that accentuate your good parts. What shorts show off your butt? What sweats show off your bulge? What tank shows off your pecs? But! And this is a big but, don't wear something that is so over the top and ridiculous that is screaming gay with the cut and fit and has your dick hanging out, that will get you noticed for the wrong reason, and not only will you be spotted out by staff waiting for shenanigans, most guys don't want that kind of spotlight when choosing their cruising hookup. It may be hot to look at, but it draws attention and makes you a target. Be discreet, you can still show off in a discreet way. You can wear short shorts, maybe just not a pink Speedo. The discretion when cruising is part of the fun!

Open Your Mouth

Before you kneel down to give a blowjob, you'll need to open your mouth in a different way. Just talk. If you spot a hottie, go work out next to him and start a friendly convo. Or, ask him to spot you. Or even better, compliment him on his form and ask him how does a certain exercise. Depending on how they respond, you've started the art of cruising!

Be Present

You may think that you are being discreet or playing coy by keeping your headphones on and staring at your phone in between sets. It totally cuts you off and makes you seem unapproachable. Put your phone away, take your headphones out, be present and look around and take off the resting bitch face. You'll miss the cruising signs if you are too much in your macho workout mode.

Shower Time

Showers are generally a good place to notice and get noticed. If your shower has a curtain, leave it open a crack so guys can see what is going on. Shower facing forward (or sideways if your ass is amazing). Oops, I left my curtain open a bit always plays off. Notice if someone else in the shower is spending more time washing their cock or ass and if they are hard. Chances are they are showing off for you. If someone stares at your junk for even more than two seconds, they are cruising.

Take It Outside

Yes, we've seen sauna sex in gay porn but in reality, it doesn't always work out that way. There tends to be more of a crackdown on sauna action and you can get in trouble or even restricted from the gym. Also, not everyone in the sauna is looking for action, and being in the same room will make straight guys uncomfortable and report you. Give your guy a nod, or if you receive a nod, follow him to the locker room, change, and head out to your car or some other discreet area. Car head is fun!
