That change is in California now, with those arrests tossed out in Long Beach and San Jose and the ensuing lawsuits against the cities and police departments. Not so likely to come to Florida or here in Texas soon.

When I lived in San Diego in the 90s going cruising at Blacks Beach or San Clemente Canyon (aka Marian Bear Park) was for the thrill of it, doing something taboo. There were other places, in person and online, to find men. The risk of arrest was extremely low, especially if you took care to avoid "civilian" non-participants.

So I think this will still happen in California, whether in a community college toilet or a canyon park or wherever. Horny guys are opportunistic, and now that the places can be combined with proximity-based Apps maybe there's more opportunity than before.

The Apps are "disrupting" cruising, just like everything else, and you can get a man almost on-demand. But you still need a place if you don't want to take it home.

Honestly, I'd love to combine the Sex Listings with a proximity-based App. There's a lot of technical issues to overcome between here and there, maybe some legal and procedural ones too. But I can imagine...
