What is Cruising? Cruising Slang Meaning
Definition (or meaning of cruising - or "cruising for sex"): This term is used when someone goes to a specific (public or private) outdoor (or indoor, or even an online) "meeting" place, aiming to find a sex mate, where many people gather for the same reason, to have casual sex, usually in an anonymous (one-time) manner. It is mostly used by homosexual (gay) men (men who are sexually attracted to other men).
Where Does Cruising Term Originate From?
According to Wikipedia and to the historian and author Tim Blanning, the term cruising originates from the Dutch equivalent "kruisen".
From its infancy, "cruising" term is used as a "code word" between gay men in order to protect themselves from homophobic physical (or other) abuse, and at the same time "recognize" each other (for those "in the know") without revealing the actual intention of this term.
The cruising places are often considered meeting places for men who are otherwise living more conventional lifestyles. For instance, it was noted in Laud Humphreys' 1970 study about anonymous gay sex meeting places that most men who visited those places were at least seeming heterosexuals who had families.
