Cruising has changed a lot over the past few years. You and I have both been around for more than a few years, corwalch, so you surely know what I mean.
My guess is that the issue is immediacy. When we get horny, we'd like a hookup right away. In the past that might have meant hours of -- What did we call it? Cruising...see the novels of Jon Rechy for the classic illustration. Today we don't have the patience. It's a global cultural rush, and not limited to sexual satisfaction. Everything's gotta happen right now. Today, I see that the most active cruising -- aside from traditional marketplaces that offer sex on site -- is at internet sites that offer connections before you could even put on your hottest Levi's. Sadly, that's why Cruising for Sex seems less vigorous than it once was, although I think it has valuable resources available nowhere else. Horny guys want to put messages on the web, exchange IMs, and get to orgasm within thirty minutes.
So is this break down along ethnic lines? Dunno, but it might be the answer to your question.
