Laud Humphreys' book "Tearoom Trade: Impersonal Sex in Public Places" was originally published in 1970. Humphreys received his doctorate from Washington University in St. Louis , although several faculty members tried to cancel him due to his research methods deemed "dishonest". His book details the activities of gay men who regularly visit public toilets (tea rooms) to quickly find anonymous sex. Since Laud Humphreys was a sociologist, he recognized the simplistic stereotypes that society had about impersonal homoerotic activity. The sociologist thus emphasized that it would be of considerable social importance for society to appreciate the motivations and patterns of this deviant activity. The results of his study uncovered underlying ideals that challenged the oppressive nature of society. The study rejected previous myths that casual sex in public toilets was practiced by criminals, pedophiles and travelers who should be prosecuted and ostracized from society. According to the book, most of the participants were consenting adults with a high moral standing in society. This article reviews this book in light of these fundamental sociological questions raised by Humphreys. Humphrey observed numerous sexual acts between 1966 and 1967 in 19 different men's restrooms. Although the origin of the term tea rooms, used interchangeably with toilets, is unknown, Laud Humphrey refers to them as the place where men frequently go for sex. The toilets were located in five different parks in a city with a population of approximately two million. In the study of male homosexual encounters in public restrooms, Humphreys posed as a voyeur and lookout, otherwise he knew that ... middle of paper ... had a positive result. I believe the results are more accurate when people don't know they are being studied. People actually act more comfortably and this is certainly a way to get the best results, unlike people who know they are being studied and tend to provide different answers. Humphrey also uses statistics to show the percentages of people involved in such behaviors to show us where they came from and what their social environment was like. Nowadays, it is unethical to collect data and study people without their consultation, as it can violate privacy. This study raises fundamental questions about the moral fabric and the role of religious and political institutions in guiding deviant covert actions. The most “perfect” people we perceive in society are those who engage in the most deviant behavior..
