Spontaneous car sex can be hot, passionate, and fun, it can also be pretty awkward. From finding a position that doesn’t leave you both twisted up like pretzels, to the risk of getting caught car sex has lots of ways it can go wrong. To help make sure your next pit stop is successful we have collected some first hand accounts from people who have perfected the art of sex in a car.

Mutual Masturbation

Sex doesn’t always have to be traditional penetration! “Don’t discount the option of just both of you sitting in the backseat next to each other and masturbating each other to completion. It relieves some tension, and he’s less likely to completely expend himself, leaving him ready for more after you have your initial encounter.” – via Reddit.

Think outside the box

If all you have is a standard car than this tip isn’t for you, unless you wanted to have some not so spontaneous sex and spring for a rental. “I’m from the Midwest, so everyone has a truck. My boo and I got a bunch of pillows and old blankets and put them in the bed of our pickup to make a love nest. We parked on a secluded gravel road in the middle of a cornfield, and had a romantic night under the stars.” – Amanda, 24, Missouri

Spatial awareness is important

“Car sex is great once you figure out a comfortable position. It’ll depend on your respective body sizes. I’m tall and my wife is very short, so I slide the front seat as far forward as it will go and then sit in the rear and she climbs on top of me, facing me. It’s one of my favorite ways to have sex. Do keep in mind that, in this position, the woman will be doing most of the work. When she gets worn out, we’ll sometimes lay down across the back seat, but that’s difficult with my height and the small size of my car.” – via Reddit

Use the cover of darkness

Unless you are blessed with a secluded wooded area to get lost in you should use the nighttime to your advantage. “Doing it during the day is really difficult. I think the only place my fiancé and I have fucked in the car during the day was in the woods, but we were really lucky to have a huge wooded area (with hiking trails and whatnot) that we could sneak onto. Nighttime makes it so much easier because you have more places without people. We’ve done it in multiple parks, a little turn-around spot off a road, a friend’s driveway (in the country — it’s a dirt driveway on a hill), and a few other places. We also had sex outside the car on a hiking trail one time, which was fun: we just lay his jacket on the ground and went at it!” – via Reddit

Accept the fact that it probably won’t be as good as a bed, but it’ll be fun! Find what’s comfortable and stick with that. After all even uncomfortable car sex is better than no sex at all!
