Arizona
In 1973, a job opportunity arose, so I packed my bags and moved to Flagstaff. Although there was a university in town, I don't recall it being a particularly fruitful place to cruise. That's not to say there wasn't any fun to be had; it just doesn't stand out as memorable. The library on campus was probably the most active place.
For "action", I would often drive to Phoenix. Here, I found gloryholes in a restroom on the mezzanine level of the student union at ASU to be especially good fun, with lots of hard, horny college penises from which to slurp out the cum. There were a couple of other restrooms in the building as well with action, though they didn't have gloryholes. One was on the lower level. It didn't have stall doors, and there were a line of sinks opposite the line of stalls and urinals. I particularly remember one time being at the sink, watching a very hot stud sitting on the stool get hard in the mirror above the sinks. I went and knelt in front of him, ready to blow him, but he rejected that, content to either tease or perhaps wait for someone more to his tastes. Ah, the ones that get away are sometimes the most memorable.
There were a few other places in Phoenix of interest, including a couple of adult bookstores and a park between Phoenix and Tempe (which is where ASU is actually located). There was a bathhouse there as well, but I was never interested in checking it out, for whatever reason.
Early on, my job sent me to Los Angeles for five weeks of training. I drove there, and I took to cruising for hustlers just off Hollywood Boulevard. I regretted that, because I ended up getting robbed. It could have turned out much worse than it did, given the guy had a knife and was threatening to take the car. After that, I stayed away from that part of town.
It was probably during this time that I started to learn I wasn't going to "grow out" of this thing I had for men. And so, after about three years in Flagstaff, I started looking for an opportunity to move to San Francisco. I was learning a lot about it from The Advocate. The chance for the move came in 1977.
More to come...
