OMG! PEOPLE MEET FOR SEX

Or local news agency falls for porn site scam. WATE:

Public places you are likely to visit in your daily activities, like shopping malls, hardware stores, parks and local colleges, are being advertised on the Internet as places to meet up for anonymous sex.

A Web site called cruisingforsex.com is where men can search for places in our area to solicit casual sex.

The places advertised on the Web site might surprise you. They’re also raising concern among some people.

“A lot of these places we go, and we were at yesterday and today,” said James Baker. “It’s unreal that it’s like that.”

The Web site provides step-by-step instructions that take you to public restrooms where men claim to meet for a sexual encounter.

Kathy Kimbrough says the site is going too far. “You wouldn’t let your children or grandchildren go into the restrooms like that if you knew this,” she said.

The Web site lists meetup points inside local malls, several locations around the UT campus, some retail stores.

The site even tells you the best times to go for an encounter.

I went to the site and it’s porn site. Primarily, it’s a gay porn site. But later in the article, we get:

After 6 News uncovered information about local spots for this report we contacted several places about the listings.

Lowe’s Home Improvements was first to respond back, saying, “We are not aware of such activity taking place in any of our stores. We are very concerned about the listing and our attorneys will be contacting the Web site asking that Lowe’s name be removed immediately.”

The University of Tennessee also responded to our call.. We were told University Police are aware of the locations listed on the Web site. They say the have made necessary repairs to the facilities listed, which included locking one bathroom.

So, what we have here is no indication that WATE actually knows that there has been sex going on in these locations. Here’s a newsflash: despite what Al Gore’s Internets tell you, there are no young hot teens who want to meet you for sex. If someone fell for this and thought they’d have anonymous sex at Lowe’s, I’d like to introduce them to my cousin who is a general in the Nigerian army. Feh.

Update: Some people in comments tell me this may actually be real. However, unless the reporter in this case actually arranged a meetup or someone else can confirm it, I ain’t buying into it because I don’t believe everything I read on Al Gore’s Internets and you shouldn’t either.

And I do believe that people try to arrange said encounters. What I have trouble buying is that it happens at Lowe’s and is coordinated through a site that seems to make most of its money off of porn ads.

    Now, whats so wrong with someone going to get their freak on?

    Those ninny’s are always out to ruin someonelse’s good time. Oh, wait you say. Its only a porn site? A gay porn site? Does that mean all those “Hot Local Co-Ed’s looking for sex” sites aren’t real either? You mean, there aren’t loads of 18 and 19 year olds willing to throw themselves at some dirty old man sitting at a computer?

    Jeeeze, and I thought the nighborhood kids were just different these days.

    I thought that’s what rest stops were for.

  3. SayUncle Says:

    R. Neal, I agree that that sort of stuff should be left to appropriate venues. But I find it almost impossible to beleive that there are folks hanging out in the bathroom of a Lowe’s waiting for me to come get my freak on with them. I don’t think that’s going on there just because it’s listed.

  4. Les Jones Says:

    Uncle, when Melissa and I watched Six Feet Under there was a scene where two gay characters are introduced and they realized they had met each in other in a Sears bathroom for anonymous sex years earlier. Melissa’s comment was “What’s up with gay men and Sears?” She had a lot of gay friends in college and still does, and she explained that some of them had told her about their adventures having anonymous sex in public bathrooms, including Sears.

    One of her friends told her that they’d have a huge, empty shopping bag. One of them would stand in it, so that anyone looking into the stall would only see one pair of feet.

    I have no opinion on authenticity of the site, but cruising bathrooms is a real phenomenon.

    I picked someone up at Chicago’s downtown library once. Thirty some years later we are still indulging in casual sex, mostly in our marital bed where it belongs.

  6. countertop Says:

    In all seriousness – especially after my initial less than serious comment – I should note that a friend of mine used to work as undercover security at one of the Department Stores in the West Town mall. Was hired mainly for shoplifting but found in the evening his job mostly consisted of running gays “cruising for sex” out of the dressing rooms and bathrooms.

    Wasn’t there also a big problem with public sex (gay, but maybe also straight) at Cherokee Park?

    As far as the web page, like I said who’se business is it whether you get your freak on or not. I do agree there are more appropriate places to do it though than in a public restroom.

  7. Justin Says:

    Parisian and Proffitts used to be notorious for “encounters”…they had to chop off half of the restroom doors so it would be harder to “buddy up” w/out being seen.
    (used to be an LP mgr for Proffitts/Parisian).

  8. countertop Says:

    That’s right, he worked at Proffitts. Its been a long time so I didn’t recall the name.

  9. ohmygoodness Says:

    Amen about the parks. Not just Cherokee, but I.C. King (whoo boy do they ever) and Carl Cowan. (Saw some there yesterday. Makes you wonder what all those guys in trucks tell their bosses they were doing.)

    I don’t care what anyone does in private. Parks aren’t. Public restrooms aren’t. Let’s bring back stocks and a little public humiliation.

  10. cube Says:

    One of my friends says this concerning gays “If you are going to be a little immoral you, you might as well be really immoral”.

    The problem with going to other places to curise (bars, etc) is that all the guys there have aids.

  11. SayUncle » What bugs you about TeeVee news? Says:

    […] Or selling sexual innuendo. […]

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
