Lot of difference - there were no mobiles with internet - hardly any contact with gays - now the whole world has opened up - earlier gay parties were in someone's house - 10-12 gays would get together - have body *** and *** and leave in 2-3 hrs - now it is different - they have intelligent conversation check compatibility before jumping into bed - earlier lube was sometimes used and sometimes not - now people want to experiment with chocolate sauce hazelnut spread milk cream and strawberry jam - nothing is considered kinky - everything is fairly acceptable - what do you feel?

Yes its true. I do remember Andheri west outside platform number 1 there was a ticket window. People used to go there in the evening. Just opposite that there is Mac Donald and a bus stop. It was the most happening spot to pick guys. I feel it was fun and exciting to cruise those days.
Again we used to go to Cyber cafe's for chatting. YAHOO chat Mumbai Room was full of gays. In those days pics gave to be shared in an email.

Yah, old time we had to find top by yourself no help from grindr. Eye contact could work and all needed thing was a erected *** and ***. Now a days all those things like kinky, bdsm.. I miss those days when I spent hours in dombivli station platform 3 loo, searching for tops n *** them! In the night time, standing outside closed loo and watching all men peeing was a treat
Good old days

I had been to Maheshwari Udyan at Matunga with my boyfriend. He was an experienced guy while I was a newbie. We went to a corner and were kissing when the security guard came and started scolding. I was scared but my BF was arguing back.
Bandra station platform no 1 was literally a pick up point.
I had been to humsafar trust meeting at Vakola. I came to know about it reading bombay dost. and hadnt spoken to anyone about my sexuality till then. I met my first bf there, with whom I roamed at various places , the same guy who took me to Maheshwari udyan.

There used to be ads in bombay dost.

That day really difficult . Those days I was in school yes It will easily happened with friends and school mates because that time we have small houses. All the boys sleep together at night we talk dirty and rubbed each other. We go outside like park farm and we did. But that we never think It will happened with older gays. Yes we hear some oldman *** a boy but for that they pay a lot. Or do forcefully. And it was also risky. But these it is so easy through social websites and apps. We csn cruise old man and do like friends live like friends in that day I never imagined that I am laying nude on bed any three or four uncles nude around me. And thank to social apps for give chance me to take 26 guys in single day. It really amazing.

Before the internet, cruising was the only way to meet gay/bi men. I guess it was better as you had more men cruising so easier to get laid Also cruising is better because there is no involvement of pics and you see what you get. That saves a lot of time and effort. Dating apps consume a lot of time as one has to keep guessing and the surprise can be tough to handle when they meet in person. I guess these days guys cruise rarely and only when they dont get dates online. Also one finds men mostly from the middle and lower middle classes cruising as they do not have access to the internet.

Happy old days. At least one knew what he is getting unlike today's time of online. Where everyone is good look till you met them in person. Luckily few of the places mentioned by some guys are still kind off happening.

Lol..I agree with rahulmehra79, these days there is too much emphasis on sexual compatibility. like they want to match everything on their list. its not enough if they like a guy's looks and general preferences, they also want to be very specific about each and every activity they like on bed. I just block them without a second thought. Not worth my time.

"its not enough if they like a guy's looks and general preferences, they also want to be very specific about each and every activity they like on bed."

Exactly. And that kills all the fun of discovery, surprise, that you had when going cruising.... Internet has killed all the fun and excitement of cruising.
But now I'm wondering if with the decriminalization of homosexuality, cruising came back in some places like parks and toilets, since cops have fewer opportunities to hassle and racket gay people.

Lol I've been asked this several times and feel pretty lazy to answer that question. It kind of sounds like the guy wants to initiate a boring cybersex session.

I don't know but because of the internet everything has become easily available, people became so addicted to hook ups. Many of us are always online on dating sides. Many of us are continuously thinking about ***.... And I think it is impacting us only.....
I understand things are easily available nowadays but guys please take care of yourself and play safe

Lets face it - The charm of cruising spots of 1990s- 2000s is thing of past and we can only be nostalgic about the past. Yes people who been to actual cruising scene talk about the curiosity, exploring, risks and fun of game.
Be it Mumbai locals 2X2 or Parimal Garden in Ahmedabad, Cubbon Park in Banglore, Marine Drive in Kochi, Net cafes of Sagar Arcade in Pune, CP/Pallika Bazaar of Delhi, Sector 17 bus stand of Chandigarh, Sarafa @ night in Indore, Parade ground of Hyderabad, and many many more across India. Many were nameless, random, ONS, hookup, some became regular and some developed into good friendships. Many of us who lived through cruising of 90s and 2000s have many memorable incidence, unforgettable moments and fond memories.

I doubt people remember Indiatimes M2M chat or Gay.com or Yahoo chatrooms or for that matter even rediff chat, at that time, chatroom were only meant to fix meeting, internet was not widely accessible. Even these chat rooms did not replace cruising spots. They infact made cruising spots famous. The sites like squirt.org , craigslist started compiling cruising spots and internet opened a whole new world especially for gay or questioning men in 2nd , 3rd tier cities and villages.

Then the advent of smartphones and apps changed everything. The attitude of people around cruising changed, the generation changed, taste changed, expectation changed.... PR now romeo and multitude apps replaced cruising spot because men became accessible with a swipe.

I do miss cruising, but then again I don't cruise as I did 20 years ago. What I feel is nostalgia when I see Cubbon Park of Bangalore or Parimal Garden of Ahmedabad gentirfied ( no gay cruising or hook up anymore), or when I see how Andheri Station and Bandra station has changed. I miss the friends I made Jaipur, Pune, lucknow, Nashik, Indore while cruising. Unfortunately like cruising spots even they got lost in the past.

I have seen Both of The Worlds...I saw those Yahoo chat rooms & Also the Outside Cruising. It's True Cruising spots are now been Replaced mostly with slum dwellers or lower middle class people , still somehow i feel Cruising very Adventurous and I feel the present people should come out from Grinder and PM Romeo and explore Real world..Cruising has its own charm..

Most of the guys still feels regular cruising is more interesting than Grindr and PR....

Dating apps has become more boring which shows same guys around.... and it's good only to have *** talks... coz no one meets in person... It's hardly a few genuine ones who would actually meet up

While cruising makes it more adventurous...

The art and skill of seducing someone ;)
