2010 Presentation:

The Art of Cruising for Sex
This is a discussion on the underground hidden world of the sexual predator. Before we had Hanky Codes, and Gay Bars, they had other codes and locations that span our history. Understand how gay men passed on this information through experience or through mentorship of other gay men. The very nature of the art and its design has a deep connection to our leather lifestyle allowing many of us our first taste of D/s. Learn where they went and how they did it, as well as how cruising has evolved in our digital age and where it is going in the future. Understand the addiction, and desire, and how important a role it plays socially for many people. After you hear this class, I can promise you a trip to the local Wal-Mart will never be the same for you!
