Squirt.org is primarily a
hookup website, and profiles are uncensored. The site has profiles for standard hookups, live-cam chat rooms, gay cruising spots, videos, and "cocktales" (erotic user-generated stories). Squirt.org, available free of charge, also has a pay tier with additional services. In smaller cities, the site may list public parks, truck stops, and mall bathrooms (known as locales) for gay encounters. Listings for larger cities may include gyms, malls, hotel washrooms, city parks, libraries, sex clubs, bathhouses and saunas,
fetish and strip clubs, beaches, public washrooms, video arcades, theaters, cinemas, booths, and college and university campuses. The website's cruising listings include a location's general description and directions to it. There is a description of the type of people who go there, and when the location is generally active; cruising tips may also be included about the location. Some listings include a section for pet peeves and warnings to users about local police activity or security monitoring. Each location includes a comment section for sharing personal anecdotes. Gay rights campaigner
Peter Tatchell has noted that listings and postings on the website make people "easy targets" and "bring places to the attention of people who would be prepared to close them down". Increased sexual activities in public toilets (
cottaging) due to their listing on the website have caused facilities to close in the
United Kingdom and
Australia. Squirt.org launched its mobile site in 2009. Due to the changes in the gay online dating marketplace caused by
Grindr, however, it released a new format in 2012, adopting the
GPS location-based technology used by Grindr and
Scruff. Squirt Mobile is available via
web browser, making it accessible by almost any
mobile device. It is not available in
app stores due to guidelines related to nudity, which is permitted on Squirt Mobile. The app was first released in the UK and, later, worldwide. ==Campaigns and controversy==
