+ Into car sex? Make it better by using the confined space to your advantage, making your own sex curtains for privacy, being smart about location, and strategizing your bedding:
“The car is not exactly an intuitive place to have sex. If you want to have sex in the front while laying down, how the hell do you deal with that front console? And if you want to have sex in the back, there’s just simply no way to lay down comfortably without fixing the curvature of those backseats. Invest in a pair of thick blankets, a pair of towels and two pillows to smooth out all those lumpy inconveniences. […] Make sure everything is within hand’s reach. Now all you have to do is wedge the towels between the gaps of the center console, lay your blankets over the towels and put the pillows above your head so the door handle doesn’t bruise you all up every time your partner gets a good thrust in.
You can improvise on how to use your bedding in the back depending on your vehicle, but the basic gist is to throw the towels in the dips of the seats and lay the blankets over the towels and position the pillows against the car doors. That should take care of the lumps, keep you level and create a plunge-safe zone for your partner’s head.”

+ If you only have 30 minutes for a date, try coffee, a car picnic, getting ice cream, walking your dogs, or visiting a library together.
+ Bikini crotch jewelry: this is a thing?

+ STIs are getting more intense, but so is research into them. A herpes vaccine, a potential gonorrhea vaccine, and a growing number of treatment strategies could all help, eventually:
“When fighting drug-resistant STI strains, the best way to go about treating them is to prevent their spread in the first place, and Zenilman underscores the importance of getting screened appropriately by someone who knows what they’re doing. Clinics that cater to a specific population are a great way to ensure high-quality care.
Because while vaccines and DNA testing show a lot of promise, they’re still in preliminary trials and are far from being standard.”
+ In the meantime, use protection for oral sex.

+ When should you share secrets with a partner?:
“According to Jane Greer, PhD, New York-based relationship expert and author of What About Me? Stop Selfishness From Ruining Your Relationship, there is no “correct” time. “Every relationship hits milestones at different times,” she says. “For many people, quality of time is very different than the actual length of time you’re with a person.” So in some relationships, the right time may be in two weeks. In others, it could be two months.”
Car sex. It can be fun
Since about 1990 most cars have split seats. In fact only pre1990 cars have full bench seats allowing for you to sit next to the one you loved. Of course the back seat was spacious and ample for all sorts of fun. Now you are better off taking a Chrysler minivan for a fun date so you can have the stow and go feature utilized correctly.
4 door trucks often have a nearly bench like back seat
Also the way that the front seats rumble under you when the engine roars back is delightful.
I am not helping dissuade anyone from assuming I have rural/southern accent…like damn if waxing about big trucks is not the most 21st redneck thing I could do I don’t know what is.
Car sex NO! Have you seen the backseat of a Mustang? IMPOSSIBLE!!
I used to have sex in the back of my Mustang. Of course, it was a convertible. But I could finger my girlfriend while driving my Jeep Cherokee. I had so much sex on the Blue Ridge Parkway back in the day ya’ll. Now I don’t have sex anywhere and that makes me sad.
I’m chopping off the roof ASAP!
That is the logical solution.
Ugh, I am very anti-car sex. I had sex for the first time in a Geo Metro with a dude who was like 6’2 (WHY DID HE HAVE THAT CAR??) while Darling Nikki played on the radio. I straddled him in the front seat and cut my knee on the window crank bar. It was terrible, I don’t even remember his name, but Darling Nikki remains untainted by the experience because it’s just too great a song.
It also put me off dudes so much that I immediately went out and had way better second time sex with a hot lady who became my first girlfriend.
But if it’s your jam, that’s cool. I recommend some Prince as a soundtrack! And watch out for odd bits of car digging into your flesh.
Get a hatchback and put down the rear seats. Plenty of room.
But by no means get or give head while driving. Thrilling when you’re younger – but – really easy to crash into something.
See American Gods
I read the book when it first came out & don’t remember much. I do want to see the show – but don’t see where it’s streaming without a subscription- maybe when it hits free on Amazon prime.
But I do remember telephone poles coming up really quickly and far to close.
I was referencing the accident that happens right at the beginning because of driving while getting head.
But It’s a great but strange show.
I’ll have to go find my copy & reread. I really would like to be able to ala carte some of these shows.
Beachy crotch jewelry-for the person who has everything?
I got as far as the word encrusted and could not.
I love and miss car sex so much y’all have no idea and I don’t know how to convey the level of without waxing poetic TMI and verging close to white male writer syndrome about the freedom of the “wild”.
But maybe it can be summed up as intimate personal bubble(like a childhood blanket fort) with no neighbors phoning for help cause they think something distinctly NOT sex is happening.
that is nooooot where I thought the bikini jewelry was going to be located.
