(analog) Cruising is the viral step-by-step guide to Queer cruising etiquette with a blend of history, humor, and personal stories.

From checking into a bathhouse, to consent in a darkroom, Leo shares tips for first-timers and rusty old-timers. (Analog) Cruising builds its own language, defining implied consent, caressing cues and the museum technique.

The Manual has sold thousands of copies worldwide through a grassroots campaign. Featured in a PSA by the New York State Department of Health, presented at the Creating Change Conference, classes at California State University, distributed to LGBTQ youth through Impulse San Francisco, circulated through bathhouses and nightlife spaces internationally, appeared in Savage Love by Dan Savage and The New Yorker.

Originally presented as “meme essays” on social media, Herrera’s densely-written posts covered politics, race, immigration, class, religion and public health. The book presents Herrera's prose chronologically from 2020 to the end of 2023.
