Having sex with strangers is an additional attraction for the clients of public places. That much is clear. However, what is meant by the “sense of danger”? Gay life in Costa Rica implies a number of hazards in any case, so it is hardly surprising that people who had their sexual initiation in these places might have acquired a taste for the risks involved in such a liaison. Kenneth explains:

I'm worried that this is becoming a need. It's like an addiction that I can't stop. When I don't come here for a few days, I feel like I'm drowning. I come here without telling my lover, but some of my friends—people he doesn't know—have told me that they've seen him hanging around here, cruising. You may think I'm a bit of a masochist, and maybe you're right. Maybe I'm looking to get killed. Did you ever see a movie called Looking for Mr. Goodbar, with Diane Keaton? I loved that movie and I really identified with the main character. If you ever run across my name in the paper, in the obituary section, you'll know how I died.
