Men's Success in Online Cruising for Male Sexual Partners (Report‪)‬

Introduction Studies of anonymous (or casual) sexual relations among men who have sex with men have traditionally focused on identifying locations where men seek sexual partners (whether sex occurs onsite subsequently or not), characteristics of men found in such locations, interactional processes of cruising, and norms guiding the activities of such settings. However, the emerging practice of men using online resources to identify male sexual partners has not been thoroughly examined for the degree to which such men are successful in their searches and what personal factors and contents of advertisements may or may not be related to successful online cruising.
