These days lots of gay guys are using Grindr for hooking up. But we didn’t always have sex available at our fingertips. For centuries (or longer!) gay and bi guys have establish ways to connect with each other, even when doing so was illegal. Most of us don’t come from queer families and so we don’t learn our LGBTQ history at home. So, I set out to expose the ways that male lover and bisexual guys own met each other for friendship and sex. Here’s a brief history of gay cruising
These days lots of gay guys are using Grindr for hooking up. But we didn’t always have sex obtainable at our fingertips. From bathhouses to bars, sex parties to saunas, even to parks and bathrooms. Gay guys have set up a way to detect each other, even before Grindr.
For the past 11 years, up until this past January, I lived in New York City. It’s one of the centers of lgbtq+ life in the Joined States. It’s a port city and after the sailors returned home from World War II, many of the guys who had found connec
The act of driving around and going on a road you've never been on. Perhaps getting lost intentionally. Getting lost in the roads and not caring if you ever find your way back home.

So this is about colloquial or slang expressions, not terms.
Cruising definition:
a : to search (as in universal places) for a sexual partner.

What comes to my mind is “iskeminen”, a name of behavior derived from the verb “iskeä”, which means primarily “to hit, to strike”, but also getting a sex partner. It is normally resultative in such a meaning, i.e. expresses successful action, so it’s really not about searching. But we could tell “Lähdetään iskemään tyttöjä” to mean “Let’s go searching for girls (with sexual intentions of some kind)”.
Hookup definition:
to meet up is to undertake anything from make-out to have sex, with someone you are not in a relationship with
