Lover,s Lane or Cruiser Bar .

Josh- no offense intended.

California broke my heart. So much good, much more wasted.

REPLY :

Just exactly how do you gear a wooded area towards casual encounters between men . I would think the woods are for all . Children go in the woods to play in the day and youths often frequent a woods in the evening hours . Teenagers may be there at any time . As occasion for sensation becomes more prevalent it seems a sense of occasion has become less prevalent in society .

I have started to repeat myself so I will not post further in this thread . Out of courtesy I will read responses .

You don't want to know, but it gets done.

With signage, of course.

"Archery - this way"

"A@@ Archery - that way"

and regardless of race, creed, color, preference or nationality, leaving litter behind is the work of a jerk.

If only gays know about it as some secret code, then I would guess general hetrosexual straights, familys & children will be oblivious & wonder in unaware?

That would be the point, Spiral.

It wouldn't do the gay community (or any 'not-normal' community) not any good if they would force others to see what they dont want to see. Much like backdoors in bars that only those know that *want* to go there.

Kevin, too bad you're out of this thread. I think you should reconsider this decision.

If the woods are also for the children, I assume straight couples having some fun at midnight would be out of the way, too? I mean, I dont really believe they're doing this in broad daylight, do they? How many children would be wandering around in the woods or dark parks anyway?

Blessings, Keno
 
What people do in private is their own business and none of mine, but a public park is not a private place. Gay or straight, if they can't practice discretion and enough responsibility to clean up after themselves, I've only got two things to offer them. A chance to run, and if they don't, a reason they should. :grumpy:

Some rest areas in Vermont are sex hang-outs for the gays. I've had a few friends approached for sex while stopping in to use the bathrooms. Other people report just seeing little blinking LED lights coming from the bushes. It gets so bad at some rest areas that the police have to patrol to run them out. I don't care what people do behind closed doors, but when you have to deal with these people at a public rest area, something has to be done! :barf: Atleast hookers stay in a part of town that you can avoid if you don't want to see them. Funny enough, you don't ever see heterosexual people doing this around here, why is it that the gays think this is acceptable? :confused: There has even been some children approached for sex when they've been walking around these rest areas/parks in daylight. :grumpy:
 
When I was a young queer, I was advised by a wise man not to try and explain the park to straights. "Why don't you explain it to me" I said. That was a different time. A time I hope has passed for everyone.

Given all the wonderful alternatives, park cruising seems an odd habit. At it's most basic, the park is a neutral ground, a rare chance for guys who would never think of doing that can do that thing with some guy who may or may not have done before. It just takes a bit of savoir fare.

But think of the children! During the day the guys go someplace with a locking door At night, the guys retreat from car headlights. After all, it would be very awkward to suddenly recognize your bank manager mid tryst.

And me? I don't partake myself. I've had invitations, but quality over quantity. Though I don't like the thought of seeing the mess Kevin described. I don't think anyone needs to be run off. There's always some obliging soul who'll tidy up, provided you're willing to stand over them and make them do it ; )

Yep. And doing anything like that in daylight where my kids could happen upon you will not be good for anyone's health either. I truly don't care if the people are gay or straight---its just not the place for it.
 
Still, I am pretty sure if I were to have some fun with my gf at a park late at night people would care less or maybe have a good laugh :confused:

I do believe there is some hypocrisy involved :(

Difficult topic...

Keno
 
I think you're right Keno. I honestly am not a fan of folks having sex in public regardless of their preferences, but I think you're right that most folks would have less problem with you and your gf than a gay couple. I tend to think of my kids walking into these scenes and that makes me a bit more prudish than normal..
 
It is unfortunate that words like hypocrisy have to be used . I was asked for my point of view and I gave it . It was said we would agree to disagree .

If we cannot agree there is a difference between sex and being a slave to sensation there is nothing I can do . I also agree that to enforce ones personal moores upon another is prudish . The focus of this thread was the trash left behind by these sensation starved individuals and the analogy of referring to it as an indication of the lack of respect they have for themselves and common decency .

If you do not think that youths or teens use a park after dark I don,t know what to tell you . I often see them in groups or riding a bike long after dark .

It is not prudish to want a clean park . It is not prudish to be raised thinking that there is more to sex than sensation .
 
A suprise welcome back Ktg! If you name the park in question, I might be able persuade someone to go over there and do some fixing. Or better yet, why don't you contact your local gay scene and have a chat about the mess. The GBLT community is generally not about disgustifying parks or assaults on decency. OK, there's that annual parade, but that's just one afternoon out of a whole year.

Kevin, I am sorry if I did offended you, I couldn't think of a better word than hypocrisy. I thought you were out of this thread anyway, so my comment was really not directed at you.

And please, READ POST #19 AGAIN. I said we can agree to agree :thumbup:

Big difference there. Please dont try to twist my words. Not fair.

Keno
 
Kevin, too bad you're out of this thread. I think you should reconsider this decision.
quote Richardallen.

Richard actually I wish I had reconsidered my reconsideration . L:O:L
Obviously I was reading with my emotions and retorted hastily . Agreeing to agree while unusual in its wording does not change the sentiment involved . An accord was reached . I valued your opinion while not personally agreeing with it . That being my sentiment may have led to my misread as well.


As I had started the thread and indeed had said I would continue reading replies there is little way I could not feel involved with the words you posted .
I was glad of differing opinions as there are very few who may observe without personal views filtering their perception .

I try to retire from a thread when I feel I have said what I had to say . There are a few here who do this and I think it is an admirable trait . I also believe that : if you post you host : so I understand your preference that I stay in .

I do think everything that can be said has been said so I will again retire .
( Hey I am starting to feel like a sports star . ) L:O:L
