What Does Cottage/cottaging Mean?

[JasonPharae]

I mean obviously I know what the ordinary word "cottage" means. But this term shows up in gay porn and I cannot figure out what it refers to. My best guess is it refers to hooking up in a public restroom (that's kinda what the clips I've seen look like). But it seems like we already have plenty of ways to refer to that practice, and, anyway, why refer to a bathroom as a "cottage?"

I'm confident this awesome group of sex-positive dudes will have an answer for me!

I’m very glad the guys on here have answered your question.

Now, we all have questions of our own and wondering what your cock + hole look like. If that’s you in your avatar, your cock + hole must look sexy as fuck and we need answers!

It's more UK origin. Cottage = tearoom in US. All cottaging is cruising, but not all cruising is cottaging! ;-)

It’s basically public toilets in the U.K. when gay sex was against the law. Where else would you find a male only space to scout out potential sexual partners where it could also be an innocent setting where getting your cock out was mandatory? A public toilet.
