Gay Cruising Is Good For Society
Gay Cruising has a bad reputation as being dirty, disease-spreading, and bad for the moral fabric of society. I think we’re wrong on all counts. I think that cruising behaviors are good for society and the larger cishet society would benefit from adopting some of these practices. And the fact that these practices are declining doesn’t bode well or reflect well on where or society is going.

    Love the dolls performance! I’ve often thought an adaptation could work if Dolores was a puppet operated by Humbert, and he broke the fourth wall to make it more obviously framed as his own descriptions of what happened. It might work better as a play as they generally have more scope to be non-naturalistic, but you could totally do an art-film like that. It could incorporate stop motion animation, and go fully meta showing him with the stop motion sets and equipment. I think overall presenting it in a more theatrical way rather than the naturalism we usually see in film is the only way it could be an accurate adaptation.

      also my go to opener for someone who seems like they need it is "hey... quick question, how do you feel when a cashier calls you sir/ma'am?" and go from there. Ironically it's if they say "I'm fine with it?" or "huh? I dunno why'd you ask." then I get much more explicit, like "oh huh, I was kinda getting trans vibes from you but I guess maybe not?"

    1:08:46 I turned 24 recently so I am officially no longer "one of the kids" I can't speak to other people's lives cause I grew up being relatively sheltered but for me the closest space Ive had to "explore my s*xuality" is the internet. That has some positives and also many, many negatives. A lot of the adult material you can find on the internet is low quality and propagates bigotry and other harmful ideas. In my personal opinion, the more high quality content, which is inclusive and less problematic, can be found with NSFW comics. Again, a lot of comics are low quality but certain specific artists do make good work. I read first few volumes of Sunstone by Stjepan Sejic in high school and that comic helped me explore things about myself. A surprising number of furry comics are good quality. There is this one NSFW furry artist I know of who has trans inclusive stories which don't f*tishize anybody which I find very refreshing (and surprisingly wholesome). Anyone interested in the subject should try to find books which discuss how to have safe and healthy s*xual practices. I recently got a book by Allison Moon called Girl S*x 101 which Ive heard good things about. The website Oh Joy, S*x Toy has informational content as well as high quality NSFW comic stories.

    So I'm a pansexual amab queer person, I don't have a strong opinion on the topic either way. I went here with some scepticism but also open mind to listen to those arguments and see if I am convinced. I listened to 45 minutes and all I got so far is one argument that it's ok, cause it is usually safer than other types of gay sex. There is also this explanation in the beginning that a lot of cruising is happening in parks, and then when talking about non-willing participants it's solved by "you know, but like deep in bushes, and also when someone inevitably stumbles upon them they like totally stop giving each other blowjobs and hide their genitalia, so you know - problem solved. The empty space where actual strong meritoric arguments should be is filled with a lot of yapping, and like a lot of it, a few strawmans etc.

      i know it feels nice to have someone to blame, but i think we need to do what we can to stop intergenerational conflict. when it comes to people who are old, conservative, and vocal about it, those aren't inherent characteristics of being that age, but a survivorship bias for those with the resources to have lived longer and to have been given a platform and built up and/or kept significant capital. there are tons of emiserated, impoverished, isolated, institutionalized old folks kept from being allowed to participate in society, which leads to worse health outcomes, cognitive decline, etc. if i were to more accurately place the blame here, yes, nimbyism does provide electoral support for zoning these places out of existence wherever they can get away with it, but consider how many times this is backed by lobbying, gentrification, opportunistic developers taking every little scrap of unowned land to turn it into something that tells you you can't be there if you don't have money. we need to point at the system, rather than at individuals, where possible

    While I wholeheartedly understand why you titled this video "gay cruising" as opposed to a less specified "public sex spaces"--gay men have clearly pioneered most of these practices for a long time, though clearly as you outline not for lack of interest or attempts in wlw and straight communities--a part of me really wishes you had titled it more generally, simply to increase its reach. I am a big queer but I think this message about the loss of safe communal spaces to have sex with less sunk cost and more incentive to behave well, where the atmosphere is casual and supportive of sexuality, is such a vital need for all of the many communities interested in improving access and quality of sexual encounters and norms (my god the straights need to improve their norms and clearly they aren't having as much sex as they want and are unhappy about it), that I want other communities who might not be homophobic but aren't interested in gay culture specifically to still click on this video. Excellent identification, analysis, and context of this need and practice, thank you Trash!

    I was curious about your video because of the thumbnail. When I was a young teen I spent a lot of time in my local park, I was going through a rough time and it was a safe space for me. It was a beautiful place, but it wasn't uncommon to see cops crawling the parking lot. One time I was out there and "walked in" on two guys getting it on right in the middle of one of the trails. I froze obviously and backed off, but bumped into another man (presumably some sort of lookout) a few feet down the trail who proceeded to follow me, a child, down the path and out of the park. A year or so later something similar happened to my sister, who was younger than me. This is where your thesis loses a lot of credibility for me. "Public s*x is good" especially when it comes to park cruising is absolutely indefensible to me, and no amount of academic research or mainstream books are going to override the harmful effects this can actually have. Public space (and especially natural spaces) are for ALL people, not just adults. Consent matters. Exposing yourself in public absolutely has negative impacts. Keep it in bathrooms, cars, whatever. Go crazy. This isn't some "think of the children" argument either, I just think people like you who have no actual experience with the negative side of this scene, and don't seem intent on discussing it in a serious way.

    • @Trash-Garbage-Trash

      I think decriminalization would make these spaces safer and less likely to be stumbled upon by non-participants, like you. Since if it were legal, they could be clearly marked. Most such spaces are away from more public parts of the park. Am I misreading your story? You walked in on a sex act and then safely left the park with a tail, who stopped following you once you left the park? Of course, facts don't change people's minds compared to anecdotes, and as you said, the research doesn't matter to you, so you're right, I doubt we can have a serious discussion.

    Dear TD, I would say that there were four tasty objective reasons for having some public pair, some dependent on a heteronormative context, some not: (1) a cushion against the purcusive energies of, for instance, VRAP (vagina wrapped around penis) erotic intimacy; (2) as a signal of reproductive power; (3) to increase surface area for pheromone evaporation; (4) as a low friction surface, for skin sliding over skin, just as domestic cats have relatively low friction hair surfaces provided they are not "rubbed up the wrong way", as the saying indeed goes. BTW, if you look at the tomb paintings of Nebamun in the British Museum, you will see that many of the people attending the celebrations have florid pubic hair. It's true that the presumably hired dancing women and the waitresses are the most naked, but there is nothing in the depictions that suggests the distinguished guests disapproved of such nakedness, or used it as a pretext for condescension towards putative lower class or more commercial status. Everyone from dancers to musicians to guests to hosts seems deliriously happy. I'd like an invite to that kind of party. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebamun www.sexpast.org.uk/erotic-egypt/nebamun/ There is an excellent UA-cam lecture by Dr Nina Jablonski, at the Leakey Institute (no less), on two parallel questions: why is homo sapiens hairless, and why do we have a range of skin colours? ua-cam.com/video/sc4OFcT5m1Y/v-deo.htmlsi=AkX07t0FkM7Yse0Z You are right about what Darwin didn't correctly guess. Hairlessness is necessary for evaporation of sweat so we can quickly climb up the energy release ramp of carbohydrate burning, and hence really accelerate, and sustain high speed running. But Dr NJ makes the amusign point that it wasn't so much to catch prey, as to run away from clever and ultra fast predators such as hunting packs of lionesses. We were rarely the top predators, just sometimes the better able to think more game moves ahead. A lot of the lecture discusses the fascinating point that migrants out of Mother Afrika suffered catastrophic initial Vitamin D deficiencies (they had no evolved intuitions about the behaviour of the homeostatic bodies outside very high UV environments), and almost exterminatory "population pinches", before they became noticeably demelanized, and all round less attractive than the best and the orignal Hom sapiens! It was such a mistake to leave our beloved EEA (environment of evolutionary adaptedness) in S-S Afrika. Love andrea

    I gave up on Stephen Fry when he declared with his whole chest that gay cruising being a thing was final and definite proof that men enjoy sex more than women do. That was the most reductive, distorted and soulshittingly stupid thing I had ever heard a non-homophobic person say on the topic.

    • @Trash-Garbage-Trash
      @Trash-Garbage-Trash 18 годин тому

      To me it's clear proof that men are safer in public spaces than women are. Obviously this will vary and we can't reduce that to "all men are safer and all women are less safe" because a black man in a hoodie in the bushes isn't going to be as safe as a white twink in an NYU t-shirt. It's not that simple. Lesbians can and do engage in cruising, but just being a woman in public and displaying sexuality in public is more dangerous for women and those perceived as women, which makes the practice more difficult for them. Plus historically they were straight up not able to do it without risking imprisonment or worse. Which is why lesbians have engaged in different types of casual sex practices. All of the private kink spaces I go to are full of women, because those spaces are safer than dating or cruising, since there are strict rules and procedures for everything.

    I do wholeheartedly agree that the West needs to re-evaluate its stance on sex and sexuality from the ground up, 'cause, BOY, the current state of business needs a rework. However, it won't be a unified solution to fix it, but a whole bunch of things done at a 360° angle, because sex and sexuality are key aspects of the life of a human being... and we live in a society made of human beings xD so stopping by those topics is inevitable. My personal take on it is that I have absolutely no issue with cruising spaces and actually very much agree with the idea that they'd be good for society as long as two things happen. 1) They are a safe space, possibly out of the grasp of corporations, from both the physical and mental point of view. People are vulnerable when having sex and all manners of things can go wrong. 2) I have a clear, inequivocable way to avoid them (shouldn't be too hard, right? XD), because my introverted face already has a hard time dealing with people without wanting to piledrive their mugs in the interdenominational woodchipper (I have no clue from what fold of autocorrect did the "interdenominational" woodchipper came out, but I find it hilarious, so there you have it. You're welcome) under "normal" circumstances, let alone when they're going at it xD In a sense, this is one of the reasons why I don't think banning nudist beaches is a good thing; they are places for those who make the actual, aware and adult choice of being there.

      To me, ideally these kinds of spaces and practices should be decriminalized so that spaces for this activity can be officially marked, similar to the gay campgrounds I mention in the video, or the public sex forest from my other video. Places where there is a reasonable expectation of what will happen there. I think that used to me more the case, with lovers lanes and such. But as society becomes increasingly surveilled, creating these spaces becomes increasingly difficult, and the risk of non-participant exposure increases.

    Thank you for making this video! Not a weird abstinence pervert here, but the other parts of the video about why young people aren't having sex resonated a lot with me (just barely in the young person demographic). I think this kind of resource for the history of sexuality is incredibly important, especially since this is a taboo subject that isn't easily learned about. For example, I had no idea about the existence of lovers' lanes! I left this video with a deep longing for the bushes to once more be filled with homos. It's like the balance of nature must be restored.

      Yeah, the kids nowadays are growing up in a more dangerous sexual environment. Prep has changed some of the risks, but the way kids are expected to date and experience romance makes coercion and assault more likely. There are other reasons too, but that's a big one.

    Let's get one thing straight. As a bisexual man, I have dated trans men and trans women. If trans men are men and trans women are women--I am saying this to everyone right now. Don't you dare call us "transphobic." You may as well be contradicting yourself. Who makes the rules in who we're allowed and not allowed to date, huh?! Just because we have a preference doesn't mean we exclude you or have anything against you. If we respect your lifestyles and boundaries, please respect ours!

      same lol Did you watch the whole video? I never found the part where it sounded like a positive thing O__o lmao It sounds like we just need better sex ed as always. Cruising or casual or whatever, there are always people that are abusive and unsafe when it comes to sexual encounters. Even with the best sex ed, there will always be people who slip through the cracks or straight up just don't care about other peoples lives/feelings :(

      The part that is good to me is the eyes on the street concept, where people are disincentivized from forcing and coercing their partners because there are other people around who can step in. It's the same reason most people return their shopping carts, because they know they're being observed and that makes them do the right thing. I also wish we had communities like that. That used to exist too. All avenues of community building are being systematically shut down and it sucks.

    ❤ One person's trash is another's worthless garbage, or however the saying goes. What is value anyway? I love trash and trashy things. This is definitely the best adaptation of the novel, by far. I say that as a man who has personally known several completely normal guys throughout my life (don't look into, it's fine) and seduced (I guess?) one of them to have a years long affair between us, until I became a teen and thereby grew too old and decrepit for him (completely my fault all of it, of course). The casting, the script, the acting, the double head grip, it's all as good as it should be. Filmmakers will be hard pressed to do better in the future. The moustache twitch was in a league of it's own! ❤ I of course liked and subscribed instantly and will from now on pressure you to provide me with fulfilling entertainment for no charge forevermore. Give me more fun, more videos, you're not doing it fast enough, your earlier work was better, you fr!igg'n sellout!!! I'm not volatile! I just happen to have a very refined taste for every creator that is better than the drivel others consume, but they're too cool (like me) for you to know about them yet. Like my girlfriend, they live in another country and you can't find the place on a map. Voilá! My comments abridged! Seriously though, thanks 💜💛💜💜 Kind regards from Iceland

    My sex-repulsed ass kept switching between fascination and horror throughout this whole video. I guess the fascination won because I got to the end. The only question that's still bothering me is what happened to the cum in the porn theaters? Were people just letting loose wherever and putting up wet floor signs? Did an employee have to clean up the cum? Was this employee paid a fair wage for their labor?

    • @Trash-Garbage-Trash
      @Trash-Garbage-Trash День тому

      They would close for a few hours a day for cleaning, I assumed from the context that the employees occasionally mentioned were responsible for that. I think one theater he mentioned was a family business. Probably they weren't being paid fair wages any more than movie theater employees are now. One anecdote Delaney tells in the book is someone accidentally cumming really hard all over the place and people getting mad at him about it. So there seemed to be a culture around containing your own mess.
