No, we’re not talking long walks in the country gazing a picturesque little houses. ‘Cottaging’ - another one of those wonderful gay male terms that straights are often ignorant of - involves hanging around public toilets looking for sex. The pungent aroma of piss may not be to every one’s taste, and many associate this activity with a time when homosexuality was criminalised, but for some old habits die hard, and the lure of the urinals is simply too strong. The danger is part of the appeal and can be addictive - but, as with all public shenanigans, keep your wits about you.
