Sex in Small Places

Trying to make out in a confined area is often awkward and uncomfortable, but there's a certain ‘je ne sais quoi’ about unleashing your unbridled passions while you're crammed in tight. Let's face it, being spontaneous is a thrill and a turn on, so when the opportunity arises you've got to be prepared to seize the moment … no matter where you are. We've got positions and tips for five top ‘need-it-now’ locations that'll make sex in tight spaces and awkward places feel like just another exciting must-do variation to explore...

1. The car

When you want to turn your ride into a shaggin' wagon, there are many ways a car can be used to get it on. Usually things heat up on the way to your final destination - it can start with a roving hand, a kiss on the driver's neck, or the ultimate, Cinema Stroke- but it's best to pull over before your wildly spontaneous activities get your car or a pedestrian banged up … and you arrested!

Once you've stopped moving, finding privacy is the name of the game. Park in a discreet spot that's far enough away from regular foot traffic, and situate yourself somewhere innocuous. Lookout points, beaches and park parking lots will do just nicely, but keep an eye open for passersby and looky-loos. Sexual acts performed in cars are usually frowned upon by the law, so watch for cops - there's nothing worse than seeing the glaring beam of a flashlight through your steamed up back windows.

Put on your e-brake, lock the doors and pull out the trusty blanket you keep in the vehicle for just such occasions. This will catch errant bodily fluids, thereby protect your upholstery - and prevent chaffing from rubbing against leather seats; it can also double as a quick cover-up should you be caught in the act, and be cozy for a post-coital cuddle.

Unless you enjoy the steering wheel digging into your back, both of you should hop over to the passenger seat, recline and enjoy. This locale is great to saddle up for Asian Cowgirl, but why not put a spin on by doing it in Reverse When you want to do oral, or have a bit more flexibility for some sexual positions, switch over to the back seat and do it from behind with Bulldog, and while you're at it, have a crack at Cradle and Drill. If you want to get really wild, throw some of your clothes back on and walk to the hood of the car to do a standing position like Bodyguard.

2. A tent

The great outdoors has a way of bringing out a person's untamed, carnal instincts - maybe it's the fresh air, the crackling fire, or the fact that there's hardly anyone else to hear your animalistic sex sounds. While you're camping, a romp in the woods is a definite must … but there's something to be said for ‘going to town’ in a tent, especially when you can zip off the roof and look up at the stars.

Rear entry sex goes especially well out in the wild. As you'll probably have height restrictions because of low roof in your tent, study up the positions that keep you both on your hands and knees like Frog Leap, Turtle and Doggy Style - (see a theme here?) Missionary sex-positions can be done in a pinch, but why not mix it up with a female superior pose like Bent Spoon - or even better, the ultimate in side by side sex Spoons.

Here's one last tip. Since bathing facilities are fairly limited in the outdoors, come prepared; bring along strong mints and travel-sized lube as a precursor, along with hand sanitizer, and moist towelettes (diaper wipes work great too) for afterwards.

3. The shower

There's nothing like getting clean while you're getting dirty. The steam is rising, soaps suds are caressing your body, not to mention the fact that you're NAKED, how could you not want to get it on under that hot running water? Whether it's foreplay, the main event, or an intimate way to prep each other’s nooks and crannies for sex afterwards, there's nothing' like it - shower play is fantastic fun. There are just so many reasons why we think shower sex is hot that we had to dedicate an entire exposé to it.

It's ‘anything goes’ when it comes to oral sex in the shower, especially for the kinkier varieties that deserve the utmost hygiene. Try Atten-hut, Butler, Drive Thru, and Face Off; just point the shower head away from the partner giving head or else they'll likely cut your fun short.

Standing sex positions go best in the shower - think Ben Dover and Prison Guard - but if you throw down a cushy rubber mat, get to your knees and get into Doggy Style! Though it's best for each person to keep their feet firmly planted on the ground, we can make an exception if you're confident of your footing - Dancer is do-able, but if you really want to up the ante, try Piston.

Shower sex does have some constraints. Not only is space limited, the slipping factor has to be considered, as does cleanliness. Washing out the shower stall probably isn't your favorite chore, but it should be done on a regular basis if you want it as an avenue for spontaneous, small space sex. Make sure that the floors are de-sudsed to avoid accidental tumbles … and if you don't want your partner to get grossed out by questionable hygiene, wipe away errant hairs and scum buildup from the corners of the stall.

4. A closet

When the mood strikes to do the quick-and-dirty, a closet serves as a gratifying locale to do it in. Whether it's at a house party or a public coat room, there's nothing sexier than getting pulled into a dark coat room and backed up against the wall, hidden from view by a sea of hanging garments. Time is less of a concern than say, a bathroom (see below), plus the chances that somebody will walk in on you are slim.

Since its standing room only, stick to face-to-face more intimate positions like Slow Dance or Stand and Carry, the latter being much easier to pull off if you've got a wall to brace yourselves against. If you need to stay below eye level, down on the floor you go with poses like Jellyfish and Lotus - Kneeling.

5. A public bathroom

Whether a stall at a club, the bathroom at a house party, or an attempt to join the mile high club, it seems that doing it in ‘el baño’ is a popular choice among kinky lovers, probably because of the big mirrors and counters to be propped upon. And if you're positioned properly, you can both get off without anyone else being any the wiser. Use a counter to do a twist on our version of Delight, or push her up against the wall and get her into Piston, letting her feet rest on the toilet lid for support. And of course, Doggy Style, is always a favorite!

When you get it on in the bathroom, time is a critical factor, generally because people will wait in line or walk in to use a stall right next to you. There's not a moment to spare for formalities, so get as much foreplay done as possible before you casually follow one another into the lavatory, so you can jump each other’s bones the moment you lock yourselves in. Don't bother taking your clothes off either; all it takes is hoisting up her skirt, unzipping your fly, and pulling her panties aside. And if one (or neither) of you cums, don't worry about it; you can pick up where you left off, say in a closet, the car...

Final thoughts

Small or awkward spaces usually aren't people's ideal locations to have soft, romantic sex in, BUT they exactly where you'd fantasize doing the deed for on the spot, need-it-now sex. Sex in semi-private spots like the backseat or a bathroom stall are extra exhilarating because you could be walked in on at any second, making your tight squeeze a total thrill. A little risk adds excitement … as long as you don't get caught!
