If you’re looking to meet up with a guy at the car park and have a chance to be spread out on a hot rod, then the parking lot is a great cruising spot for those looking to have some fun.

Parking lots can be private, so can your car – all of this makes taking a drive to a quiet parking lot the perfect hook-up opportunity.

Finding the Best Gay Hookup Spot Near You

Cruising in your car works best when you are in a well-known hookup spot, perhaps parked at or near an established gay park cruise area.

How do you know if you’re in a spot that’s known for cruising? You’re going to need to use your intuition. Some of the signals that you should be looking out for include guys hanging around that aren’t in a hurry to be anywhere else – loitering, you could call it. You’re also looking for guys who are regularly checking their phones – looking for action on their gay hookup apps.

The location-based functionality of mobile apps has made it a lot easier to connect with guys that are nearby. If you’re walking through a park and there are a number of Squirt.org users online and nearby, then you know that you’re in the right place.

Some car parks develop a bit of a reputation – they become well-known as places to meet and cruise other men. If you’re unsure where to go, Squirt’s gay cruising directories make it easy to find a local area where you can park your car and have some.

How to Make Cruising Eye Contact

One of the challenges of cruising in a parking lot is that making eye contact can be difficult if the guys are in their cars. Eye contact is one of the key cruising essentials so that you can let a guy know that you’re interested and get a sense of whether or not you’re on the same page.

If you’re in your car, keep your driver-side window down so that guys can see your face.
Don’t wear sunglasses – sunglasses are a barrier to eye-contact.
Don’t smile like a serial killer, but try and keep a warm expression on your face. You want to look interested and engaged in what’s going on around you – if you look cold, aggressive, or intimidating, then guys will most likely steer clear.

Wear the Right Gay Cruising Attire

Putting a bit of planning into what to wear when you’re cruising the parking lot can make the whole experience a lot more enjoyable.

What you need is comfort and easy access. Avoid tight jeans or anything with a belt. Go for sweatpants, gym shorts, or anything with an elastic waistband that can be pulled down quickly and easily. It’s a good idea to be freeballing for this kind of thing – underwear can get in the way.

Lube and Sex Toys for a Car Hookup

The great thing about being in your car for a cruising hook-up is that you can stash a few essentials within easy reach.

Lube is the obvious one, but having a pack of wet-wipes close to hand is always going to be a good idea. It’s sensible to pack some hand sanitiser – you never know when you next will be able to wash your hands.

Make sure you take your trash with you. Removing any rubbish is not only good for the environment, but if sex-related trash is regularly found in a parking lot, it’s more likely to attract unwanted attention from the authorities which will spoil the fun for everyone.

When to Leave After Gay Car Sex

Normal hook-up rules apply – as soon as you’ve cum, it’s time to go.

If you’re in someone else’s car, that’s easy – you can simply say something along the lines of “thanks for that” and then you’re on your way. If you’re in your car, then you’re going to want to ensure that the guy you’ve just got off with gets the message and doesn’t stick around.

One of the challenges that you may have to navigate is if the guy asks you to give him a lift somewhere. As a general rule, you need to shut this down fairly quickly. Don’t lie, or try and come up with some sort of elaborate story about it, just be direct. You can say something like “no, that won’t be possible” or “sorry, but that doesn’t work for me” or simply “it’s time for you to leave”.

The risks you’re taking in giving a lift to someone you don’t know and letting them direct you to somewhere you’re not familiar with are fairly obvious and best avoided.
