i’minterested in the culture of hooking up on tour. since i’ve never been able to accomplish a hookup at any time, tour or not, i may find the whole thing more mysterious and exotic than most people.
but i’m curious because of the cliche/expectation that going on tour will involve romantic interludes or various sorts (whether one night stands, casual hookups or the prospect of long term romance, and whether it might just be some face kissing, heavy petting or full blown sexy times). because that expectation exists, and persists, and i’ve been touring for 13 years without seeing much of this happen. i mean, yes, i toured with my partner for 10 years, but it was so uncommon with my other bandmates as to be statistically nil. so it seems like this ubiquitous thing, but then in my experience tour involves pretty much none of this.
