Cottaging today
2007
?I think gay men are more promiscuous now. I think the lesson of AIDS has been forgotten by a big clump of us. ?Have you got any protection?? ?No.? ?Oh well, you?ll be alright?. Cottaging and cruising still goes on. I don?t think gay men do it purely for the thrill, they do it because they prefer not to stand propping up a bar every night or having long conversations because the same conversation with six different people in six different nights must get a bit tedious, mustn?t it? I mean, a bit like when I was young and somebody would chat me up, I could feel myself repeating?.
