HISTORY

LATE NIGHT CRUISIN’ WAS CREATED IN 2013 AS A GAY SEX BLOG, A LA SEX AND THE CITY STYLE, THAT JOURNALED MY ADVENTURES AS WELL AS REVIEWED GAY SEX PARTIES AND CRUISING (UNDERWEAR, FETISH GEAR) PARTIES IN NEW YORK CITY (NYC).

THE INSPIRATION CAME AFTER ATTENDING MY FIRST UNDERWEAR PARTY, DANIEL NARDICIO’S AND GOING TO THE SAINT AT LARGE’S THE BLACK PARTY. THESE EVENTS WEREN’T MENTION IN SOME GAY MAGAZINES AND I FIGURED THAT WAS A MISSED OPPORTUNITY. IT WAS AT THAT MOMENT, WHEN I REALIZED THAT THERE WERE TWO SEPARATE GAY NIGHTLIFE COMMUNITIES.

THE NAME WAS INSPIRED BY NEXT MAGAZINE THAT GAY BAR MAP OF ALL THE BARS IN MANHATTAN. ON THE MAP, EACH BAR WAS GIVEN A LABEL OF WHAT TYPE OF SCENE AND LATE NIGHT CRUISIN’ WAS THE LABEL FOR GAY CRUISE BARS.

THE BLOG EVOLVED INTO A WEBSITE THAT PROMOTED GAY CRUISING PARTIES AND GAY SEX PARTIES AS WELL AS LIST GAY CRUISING (CRUISE) BARS, BATHHOUSES, SAUNAS AND SEX CLUBS.

IN MAY 2018, I CREATED A PODCAST TO DISCUSS GAY CRUISING CULTURE, GAY SEX AND GAY LIFESTYLE W/ MY CO-HOST BRIAN MICELI. OUR LAST BROADCAST WAS MAY 2022.

MISSION

THE MISSION IS TO PROVIDE GAY SEX-POSITIVE CRUISING SAFE SPACE FOR GAY MEN TO EXPLORE THEIR SEXUALITY AND NETWORK WITH OTHER LIKE-MINDED GAY MEN. LNC LIST GAY CRUISING PARTIES AND SEX PARTIES DAILY, WEEKLY, MONTHLY AND ANNUALLY.

SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS LACK THE STABILITY OF A TRADITIONAL WEBSITE FOR FINDING GAY PARTIES AND EVENTS. NOT MENTION, MANY PROMOTERS AND GAY VENUES DON’T HAVE THAT THE SUPPORT OF PROMOTING THEIR EVENTS. BY COMBINING EVENTS TOGETHER ON THE SAME PAGE, EVENTS AND VENUES BENEFIT FROM BEING LISTED TOGETHER.

LATE NIGHT CRUISIN’ ALSO UNDERSTOOD THAT THERE’S A STIGMA AGAINST GAY SEX AND GAY NIGHTLIFE CULTURE. CRITICS STATE THAT THE GAY COMMUNITY OVER-SEXUALIZED; HOWEVER, WE UNDERSTAND THAT GAY SEX IS THE ONLY INTIMACY THAT MANY GAY MEN CAN EXPLORE THAT DOESN’T INTERRUPT THEIR LIFE ESPECIALLY IF THEY DON’T LIVE IN A GAY METROPOLITAN CITY.

I LIVED IN SEVERAL BOROUGHS IN NEW YORK CITY, WHILE NAVIGATING GAY NIGHTLIFE EXCITING AND CHALLENGING. RESEARCHING FOR MORE GAY PARTIES AND EVENTS BECAME MY PASSION AND DECIDED THAT THEIR WAS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH LOOKING FOR GAY PARTIES AND EVENTS. NOW I WANT TO SHARE MY PASSION OF GAY NIGHTLIFE AND RESEARCHING GAY CULTURE
