Cruising is a very popular practice within the LGBTQ+ community, allowing people to meet and enjoy spontaneous encounters in public places. However, as with any interaction in open environments, it is essential to follow certain guidelines to ensure safety, respect and hygiene at all times.
In this guide, you’ll find essential tips for cruising safely, avoiding unnecessary risks and ensuring a pleasant experience for both you and others. From protection against sexually transmitted infections to respecting other people’s boundaries and acting responsibly, every detail helps keep cruising free and safe.
Below, you’ll find some key recommendations to help you make the most of your cruising experience with confidence and without unnecessary complications.
To avoid sexually transmitted infections, always use a condom. When you finish, remember to pick everything up (condom wrappers, tissues, etc.) and leave the area clean.
At many cruising spots, there may be people with bad intentions who take the opportunity to steal valuables. Therefore, when you go cruising, try to avoid carrying money, jewelry, etc., and if possible, go with someone.
Not everyone you meet at cruising spots is looking for the same thing as you. If they say no, respect that and do not bother them, just as you would like to be respected.
Remember that having sex with anyone under 18 is strictly forbidden. Before doing anything, make sure the person you are flirting with is of legal age.
If, while cruising, you suffer any form of aggression, intimidation, theft or extortion, report it to the local authorities. That is why it is always useful to have some information about the person involved: name, description, license plate, etc.
