In the twisted corridors of Mexico City's subway, a culture of underground gay sex thrives with little oversight. "Since 2000, public male-male sex has taken place in the último vagón almost constantly during its operating hours," indicating a long-standing acceptance of such acts amid a legal grey area.
Historian Alonso Hernández Victoria remarks on the duality of the subway's purpose: it serves as transport and a meeting ground for intimate encounters. "Gay men have used Mexico City's subway for sex, romance, and other encounters since it opened in 1969," demonstrating how public spaces adapt to the needs of their users.
Elias, an expert on último vagón encounters, highlights the accessibility of cruising in the subway. The "low cost of riding the metro" makes it an appealing choice for those who cannot afford bars and clubs, showcasing how socio-economic factors influence sexual expression.
The subway's last car stands as a psychological refuge for many, as emphasized by sociologist Andrés Alvarez Elizalde, who states that sexual activity "tended to occur most often during peak hours," illustrating a response to societal double standards and the need for private spaces in public.
