Checking to see if anyone is still using this site? Hi!

This Message Board is much less active than it used to be years ago. Most guys who want to hook up use Craigslist or an App these days. There's also some hook-up web sites with mobile versions or Apps, such as our longtime sponsor Men4SexNow.com.

There's a lot more activity here for guys who want to talk about something. See the Special Interest Forums & Discussion Groups.

Under that section, Legal Issues for Cruisers, Best Places for Sex, and Aging and Cruising for Sex, also Sex Advice: Ask and Give Advice seem to have the most discussion.

Also, Cruising to Talk has some activity.

The only section for a geographic area that's still truly active is Southeast Asia, which is mainly about Thailand.

I have long-delayed plans to upgrade the site to mobile-friendly software.

I'm not sure how the Message Board will fit into that, but I definitely want to keep the active areas.

I also want to preserve older parts of the site at least as an archive. They tell a story about who we are and were and we did going back to the earlier days of the Internet.

This is valuable. It's worth keeping online for anyone, whether a historian or just a curious guy who wants to read about getting off. And maybe reading it will get someone off as well.

Thanks for the response. Always enjoyed this site..shame that it's not more active..but times change..I will always continue to stop on by...I remember the contest you ran a few years ago to try to get people to post...loved the prize!

The contest would have been when Keith was alive and running the site, though I don't know what year. Around then, I was mostly installing and integrating software for him and doing programming and other stuff to make things work the way he wanted.

I wasn't able to spend much time on the Message Board, except for looking at the section for the "Houston - Gulf Coast" area where I live.

Keith was so much better at marketing and promotion than I am, and until he became ill he was able to give CFS much more focused attention than I can these days. Both of us were younger, healthier, and hand fewer crises them. Anyhow, I remember that by the mid- to late 2000s Keith was concerned about the decline of the Message Board and wondered about its future.

So what was the prize?

Sites/forums like this are all slowing down. It does suck because there's a strong market for guys who just want NSA sex.

It was a whole bunch of ED pills....Let's say they've been put to good use....can you do it again? Hahahahahaha

haha!

My favorite 'ED pill' website is this site, and (what used to be) dick.net. Reading the reviews here on cruisey spots in my area, then looking at a haven full of cock pics at dick.net had me salivating for hours! Dick.net is gone which sucks, but cruisingforsex is still good! For now, hopefully ;(

I think cruisingforsex is the last NSA cruisy sites left that really is NSA!

You know, in order to stay online CRUISING for SEX has to change. It's been losing money the last couple years, and I'm really the one to run everything.

I'm looking at changing the business model. One idea is a paid "Donor" or "Sponsor" membership level I described here. I don't know yet if that's possible or sustainable.

I opened a Message Board discussion for it, but no one's responded. I've been so crazy busy that I haven't been able to look at the "CFS Editor" email today. Or was that yesterday...?

That's just one of several ideas. I'm considering others.

Gotta run. Seems like I am always working or doing chores, though it's great to read about and help you guys have fun.

I think CruisingForSex missed the boat years ago too. I love this site because its main theme is NSA sex, which is what I lust for! I love having having sex with random men! I also like how I can review cruising spots on here so others in the area can try!

I still can't get over how Adopt A Sex Pig never took off lol. That's the only type of relationship I was ever interested in! But yeah, This entire site filled a whole market of guys who are into m4m sex without the attachments!

It would be sad to see CruisingForSex turn into a generic dating site, or flashy fetish site. The raw nature of casual sex is what made this site different, unique, and fun! It sucks to see it change.

This site should have been the Tindrr and Kik of the worlds. People who use those apps are just looking for sex too, but those apps mostly have junk and flakes, whereas this site has real people, and it could have transitioned into mobile use. The lack of this sites traffic could have been a fault in marketing too. I mean, jesus, look at all these features that makes NSA easy lmao!

I will most likely be a donating member and will think of benefits for supporting members, as well as incentives for non-paid members to become a sponsor.
