Cruising Diaries by the King of Sex

PRESALE for August 2025 release

In this collection of three X-rated essays, writer Daniel Sanchez-Torres has returned to his hometown after eight years and explores his history of cruising for sex in the San Francisco Bay Area. He reflects on his early years as a young, newly HIV+ twink hooking up with older men–only to later find himself becoming the older man that twinks now pursue. Sanchez-Torres revisits his experiences as the side-piece to men in monogamous relationships, and how what was once a fun hobby turned sour. And, ultimately, he traces the path that led to being named the King of Sex.

Intimate, explicit and written for an adult audience, this collection offers a perspective of sex in your 30s and in the aftermath of pandemics.

This is a mostly true story. Some lies have been told, some omissions have been made.
