Back on the Prowl With Sniffies

While it’s hard to say whether the post–COVID vaccine period will transport on a surge of hedonism like the storied decade that followed the 1918 pandemic, a hasty scan of the maskless, largely naked boys of New York’s Jacob Riis Beach on a recent weekend suggests that, at least for the local queer crowd, the ’20s are entering a entire roar, baby. And as bottoms, tops, and N95s hit the floor this Pride month, a fresh hookup website (that’s website, not app) has graceful itself to strut past the more familiar Grindrs and Scruffs on our phones and capitalize on all the horned-up, post-quarantine energy.
Sniffies is an upstart gay hookup site(NSFW!) that’s seeking to harken support to the old days of cruising, giving users a freak-forward user interface that shreds the decency mandates of the app stores and allows users to instantly locate the nearest dick or ass floating (literally, as photo icons) around in their neighborhoods on a dwell updated GPS map. The approach cuts out the tedious texting and etiquette now so common on the traditio

Thomas Roma‘s book In The Vale Of Cashmere is probably familiar to you. It has had enjoyed widespread press and positive comments. And rightly so. It’s one of my favourite books of the year. I just did a review of the book and project for Vantage.
Roma’s arresting photos proceed inside the Vale of Cashmere a renowned casual hook-up spot that has, for decades, hidden in plain sight on the northern side of Unused York’s prospect Park–an overgrown, knotty pocket of criss-crossing paths that is of Brooklyn’s most active gay cruising spots. The Vale of Cashmere is commonly, but not exclusively, frequented by African American and Caribbean men.

Cruisiest Spots: Arcade
Warnings: Don't cruise the parking lot or have in automobile, may g
