But it's not distinct from the OPs post (and he hasn't clarified in later posts) that he has seen or heard people having sex. I think we all agree that needs to be dealt with because it's gross. But if it's just guys hitting on one another, and it makes you uncomfortable, I'm not really sure what the solution is. Leave to management and say "I reflect these people are headed towards having sex later. Please watch them." And what are the cops going to do if all it is is trolling for potential partners? So is it guys having sex in public (disgusting and illegal) or guys aggressively hitting on one another (uncomfortable for OP, but in the finish none of his business)?
I'm unclear as to how you missed this, as it appears to be the overall theme of the thread; but, I have seen men involved in sexual activity at the gym (far beyond aggressive cruising and eye contact). I have seen men with erect penises masturbating for other men. I tend not to state what else I have had the unf

There are a lot of conversations in the LGBTI people about Prides becoming “too commercial,” but what about grassroots, leftist radical Prides? Well, the plan of community-organized, grassroots Prides is astonishing, but unfortunately, it is very human to make mistakes.
While big LGBTI Prides that are organized with help from businesses are trying to be inclusive, grassroots Prides hold sometimes gone too far in their attempts to produce an “edgy,” rebellious atmosphere. Some slogans that have been used at “independent” Prides create more problems than they solve, making these events non inclusive and unacceptable for a large part of the LGBTI community.
I believe in intersectionality. I was one of the very few activists in Russia who began writing and speaking about the need for intersectional approaches in the LGBTI community — speaking up for neurodivergent, disabled, non-white, Muslim, and Jewish LGBTI people. In the U.K., I’m part of various groups supporting LGBTI refugees.
And this is why I notice that some latest attempts by Western LGBTI activists to be mindful of different forms of oppression have actually excluded people from Pride and divided the L

I have been a member of Washington Sports Club - Columbia Heights for about a year now, and can't believe the amount of sex happening in the sauna and shower areas. Guys are constantly cruising each other while working out, and it's very intense. Is this a frequent thing in DC?

Is this a gay exclusive club? Or were you at a orgy party?

Its common here at most of the gyms here in Tulsa, OK. It's one of the few places married guys can cruise around for sex.

VIDA Gym to Install Cameras in Men’s Locker Rooms

VIDA Fitness, the trendy, popular gym chain whose membership includes huge swaths of D.C.’s queer community, has announced plans to install surveillance cameras in men’s locker rooms to help combat crime.
Michaela Brown, the general manager of VIDA Fitness’s Logan Circle gym, announced the plans to install the cameras on the morning of August 20.
Screenshots of the message rapidly spread across social media platforms, with some people expressing outrage and alleging the cameras violate people’s privacy.
“Some of you have noticed the presence of brand-new cameras in the locker and sink area of the men’s locker room,” Brown wrote. “Though they are not fully installed, it is our scheme to increase visibility in those areas for guard and security purposes.
“Let me be clear that watching of these specific areas will be discrete (sic) and only accessible by trained monitoring technicians. When the camera installation is near completion, I will send all members a detailed message regarding the project.”
