The south wing of the Humanities Building has some of the only bathrooms on campus that have a two-door entrance, with a mini foyer separating the hallway and the bathroom. Members of Squirt. Inside is an unused, wooden doorstop. On the right side, sinks and urinals line the walls; on the left are three connected toilet stalls and a lone handicap-accessible stall at the end. Sniffies users reported 44 visits to the third-floor bathroom that day and hundreds each month.
Open showers and restrooms to play in, can easily hear people coming. Afternoons and evenings are best times. Jose was 18 years old when he first cruised. His initial encounter was at Orange Coast College in southern California, in a bathroom outside a chemistry lab at the very back of campus.
The bathroom rarely saw visitors. You know, shoes move closer to each other. And that was my first experience with that.
In bathroom stalls, a tap of the foot is the most common signal for cruising. These are innocent gestures to most, but an obvious signal to some. Jose previously identified as bi-curious. His first encounter helped him explore his sexuality. However, the men who participated in the study primarily identified as gay or bisexual and reported a high level of comfort with their sexuality.

They had rich social networks and multifaceted sex lives in which they chose to participate in cruising culture. His first encounter was in a bathroom at UC Santa Cruz. There was no Sniffies, no anything, just word of mouth. He heard of the cruising location from an older friend, visited the bathroom and waited in a stall. It was nerve-wracking, but it definitely taught me a lot. Marcus said cruising helps young people learn about themselves and explore their sexuality. Homosexual activity was criminalized for over a century in the United States so men who wanted to have sex with men would often seek public places that offer some privacy.
