A few winks later the next day it was time to explore the venue that has featured in some conversations we have had with the locals: Ørstedsparken, a city park which has been a cruising ground for over a century. Some say it's unsafe but, on the other hand, the council provides lubes and condoms, handily placed in a bird's nest box, for easy use in the undergrowth. Since it was daytime we could only attest to the bird box's existence and the evidence of activity by the detritus left. Someone should teach those bush queens to clean up after themselves. Condoms do take a long time to ecologically break down.
In Århus we found two gay venues. One, Gay Club Århus (Paradisgade 11) is a cruising club hidden behind a video sex shop. The video shop has a dizzying array of porn DVDs, large sections of which would be highly illegal in New Zealand (apparently Denmark is a major producer of bestiality porn). The actual cruise club is a separate two-storey house reached through the shop and a court yard. At first we thought it was a sauna because the attendant lady gave us towels but after inspection of the premises it turned out it's a practical way of cruising when you have chucked your clothes beforehand. There were three video rooms, two playing gay porn, the third straight porn. I guess it makes closeted Danes more at home when watching familiar sex moves. Comfortable seating couches make for a cosy communal experience. Free coffee and net access and smoking is disturbingly permitted everywhere. There are a few cubicles for horizontal activities and it was suprisingly busy for a Monday afternoon.
The second venue is A Center Video (Rosenkrantzgade), a sex shop/DVD rental place with private viewing booths and two video cinemas. The cinemas show either straight or gay porn but punters switch between often. The gay cinema has a small backroom with a sling. The straight version didn't have that but it did have a second screen showing lesbian porn. The place was also attended by a pleasantly large number of men. There were no straight guys present as far as we could make out and we were speculating whether any would go there since the gay guys would always be willing to assist their viewing pleasure - perhaps some might not appreciate that.
The Danes are, I must say, enthusiastic cocksuckers, and even very pleasant afterwards. So I can recommend them heartily!
