Squirt.org Review
The veteran gay cruising site with an unmatched directory of cruising spots.
What is Squirt.org?
Squirt.org has been online since the late 1990s — it's one of the oldest gay cruising sites on the internet, run by Canada's Pink Triangle Press. While the apps came and went, Squirt kept doing its thing: hookup listings, chat, and above all its famous cruising directory, a community-maintained database of cruising spots with member comments and reports.
It's unapologetically old-school. The interface is desktop-first and explicit, the culture is cruising-first, and the feature set — forums, message boards, spot listings — feels like a throwback in the best and worst ways.
Key features
Cruising listings
The crown jewel: a long-running directory of cruising spots — parks, gyms, saunas, restrooms, beaches — with member comments, ratings, and recent activity reports.
Profiles and chat
Standard hookup-site profiles with photos and stats, plus member chat. Explicit content is allowed throughout.
Forums and message boards
Active discussion boards covering cruising tips, spot reports, and community topics — a feature the modern apps abandoned entirely.
Mobile site
A mobile-optimized web version for on-the-go use, though the desktop site remains the fullest experience.
Pros and cons
Pros
- The cruising-spot directory is unmatched — decades of community knowledge in one place
- Active forums with real discussion, not just hookup chatter
- Explicit-friendly with no app store content rules
- Free membership covers the basics
- Long track record and a loyal, established community
Cons
- The interface is dated and desktop-first
- Smaller active user base than the big mobile apps
- Explicit ads throughout the free experience
- No native app — the mobile web experience lags modern apps
Pricing
- Free: profiles, browsing, and limited messaging with ads.
- Premium membership: unlocks unlimited messaging, advanced search, and removes advertising.
- Premium is sold in multi-month packages at modest prices compared to the big apps' subscriptions.
Who it's for
- Cruising enthusiasts who want spot listings and recent member reports
- Guys who miss the forum-era community feel of the early gay internet
- Desktop users who prefer a full website to a phone app
Who should skip it
- Guys who want a modern, polished mobile app experience
- Anyone looking for dating rather than cruising and hookups
- Users in areas where Squirt's active base has thinned out
The bottom line
Squirt.org is a survivor, and it survives because its cruising directory does something no app has replicated: decades of community-sourced knowledge about where cruising actually happens, updated with fresh member reports.
As a hookup platform it feels its age — the interface is dated and the crowd is smaller than the big apps. But if cruising spots and community reports are what you're after, Squirt is still the reference, and it pairs naturally with a modern app like Sniffies.
