Why Public Sex is Having a Moment

By definition, public sex is sexual activity that takes place in a public context.   That means any person, or persons, performing sexual acts in public places or in private places that are still available to be viewed from public places.   Think a bedroom with the curtains open.  If you can be seen, then it’s public.   Recently, being sexually adventurous by means of public sex has gained some momentum, and was even referred to as a “craze” by the BBC that had been fueled by the internet. Although you might cringe at the thought of sharing your intimate moments with a random and unsuspecting third party, many people have been giving it a try.  Well, maybe they haven’t, but it’s on a lot of couples’ bucket lists.  According to our sources, the trend has been gaining momentum over the last decade in Britain, the United States, Canada, Ireland, Australia, Barbados, Brazil, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Poland, and Sweden.

This might be news to you, but it’s not hard to see why people might be fantasizing about having sex in public.  So much of what makes sex boring is having it in the same place or the same time.  This familiarity makes it more routine than fun.  Many people miss the feeling of adventure that comes with getting to know someone and becoming sexually active with them.  It’s always good to try to remember what it was like when first started getting intimate with your partner. Taking sex to an unexpected location, whether it is your living room or a hotel room, shows attraction beyond just the act o0f having sex.  It can be rejuvenating and fun for any couple. 

A big part of sex is communication with your partner.  Sharing desires and trying new things with your partner can open up an entire new avenue of pleasure.   Building up the excitement of trying new things can be enough to keep things interesting and have better sex. Trying to create a buildup through light foreplay like kissing in public places can create tension that will overflow into sex when you are finally able to have it.

Beginning something in public allows you the opportunity to draw out the initiation of anything sexual before getting down.  This gives both of you a chance to build anticipation and prepare for sex mentally. Public foreplay can be thought of as a type of seduction, and everyone wants to feel wanted. This is especially important if you have been with the same person for quite a while, and don’t want to lose that spark.  Chasing after your partner, complimenting and acting as if you are trying to get them to bed for the first time every time is sure to boost their interest in you and having sex.  This is also a great confidence boost, and confidence feels sexy.
