Oh well. So much for keeping up this travel diary. Chicago is one of my favorite cities for sex and you know what? I had none. Hell, I even filmed a 30-man orgy, but didn't get any. What gives? Is your Cruisemater becoming a celibate? Not really, but Chicago turned out to be a non-stop period of work. I didn't even make it to the Steamworks which was the main reason I chose Chicago to start this trip.

But I'm not really complaining about the time in Chicago. We did get the newly designed cruisingforsex.com online after months of planning and hard work. It was a huge process that I'm delighted to have behind me. The design which includes a spanking new database with over 10,000 cruisy spots catalogued was something I've wanted for years. The last design change of any substance was in May 1999.

The database is the jewel in the crown to me. Some guys have written that they don't like it and I had prepared myself for criticism. You can' t please everyone, but thus far most people who've been critical have offered some very good insight -- much that will be used to improve on this first addition. New features are already being plotted that will make this ever more user-friendly and allow more interactivity.

Perhaps the biggest statement about this new database comes with the actual usage. The numbers of people sending in new tips and updates is phenomenal! In the first weekend of operation we got more tips and updates than we would routinely expect in one full week -- over 300!

If you haven't tried the database yet please do:
