Queer cruising beyond the phone screen

Leo Herrera’s manual frames cruising as a practice shaped by shared cues, consent, and etiquette. Its step-by-step coverage ranges from checking into a bathhouse to navigating consent in a darkroom, while Herrera’s personal stories sit alongside historical context, humor, and poetry. The book also develops a vocabulary for concepts such as implied consent, caressing cues, and the “museum technique,” making those ideas part of its practical guide to in-person encounters.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • First-timers seeking an introduction to queer cruising etiquette and settings.
  • People returning to cruising who want a practical refresher.
  • Readers interested in queer sexuality explored through personal stories, history, and humor.

From what to expect checking into a bathhouse, to the rules of consent in a darkroom, Leo shares tips helpful for first-timers and rusty old-timers. (Analog) Cruising builds its own language, defining implied consent, caressing cues and the museum technique.
