Because anonymous sexual relations between two men are widely considered deviant many men seeking such activities look to erotic oases-natural environments appropriated for covert, often furtive sexual purposes. Previous research on erotic oases has focused on characteristics of involved men and processes of locating, negotiating with, and consummating sexual relations with others. This study draws on one major Web site listing of "cruising places" in the United States to identify common locations for erotic oases. Results show that the most common locations identified as erotic oases by users are public parks, adult bookstores, health clubs, and college campuses. Locations most likely to be listed as believed to be under law enforcement surveillance are outdoor, high traffic locations. Based on these results existing research has only begun to examine the most common locations for this highly stigmatized, deviant behavior and subculture.
由于两个男人之间的匿名性关系被广泛认为是不正常的，许多寻求此类活动的男性会寻找情色场所——即被用于隐蔽的、通常是偷偷摸摸的性目的的自然环境。之前关于情色场所的研究主要集中在参与其中的男性的特征，以及寻找、与他人协商并完成性关系的过程。本研究利用美国一个主要的列出“寻欢场所”的网站，来确定情色场所的常见地点。结果显示，用户确定为情色场所的最常见地点是公园、成人书店、健身俱乐部和大学校园。最有可能被列为被执法部门监视的地点是户外、交通繁忙的地方。基于这些结果，现有研究才刚刚开始审视这种备受污名化的异常行为和亚文化的最常见地点。
