GayBarsPt.5 (incomplete)

Cruisy men’s bars are a specific type of gay bar, including:
- Leather and kink bars
- Gay strip clubs
- Bars for bears (hairy and husky men)
Traditionally, these bars served primarily or exclusively cisgender gay men.
Like lesbian bars, these gender-segregated bars usually exist in big cities with at least four gay bars.
These bars have been criticized for denigrating femininity and women.
They also celebrate larger, hairier bodies, older men, and kinks that are often sidelined in conventional gay bars.
Some find these places sordid, while others are drawn to that aspect.
They are important sites of sexual and self-discovery.
Atmospheres are intoxicating, anxiety-inducing, and hot, celebrating the “sex” in homosexuality.
Gay men have forged “sexy community.
