Are you and your partner feeling a sense of complacency in your sex life and looking for ways to explore beyond a typical bedroom setting? Or, do you have an urge to dive into exhibitionism? You might consider spicing things up with outdoor sex!
Whether you try sex on a beach or during a camping or hiking trip, having discreet sex outside can provide the kind of thrill you may feel your sex life has been lacking. You’ll want to beware of Peeping Tom’s, but for now, take a peek at some of these tips for having safe and pleasurable outdoor sex.

What Is Exhibitionism?

Exhibitionism is feeling a sense of sexual gratification from being seen naked or in the process of a sexual act. This might pertain to outdoor sex, because it’s entirely possible you could derive pleasure from possibly being spotted having sex in a public place, like on a beach or in the woods.

However, it’s important to distinguish exhibitionism from indecent exposure. While being seen naked in public might be considered a thrill for some, you cannot simply flash your goodies in public simply for the sake of indulging your wild side.

So, what are some do’s and don’ts of having outdoor sex?

The Do’s and Don’ts of Outdoor Sex

Arousal can come at practically any moment, and it might strike when you and your partner are out and about! Still, you shouldn’t just expect to drop your trousers and get it on at the drop of a hat. Here are some do’s and don’ts for having sex outside:

DO: Seek out privacy. If you’ve always wanted to try sex on the beach, consider whether your beach has a more secluded, rocky area just off shore. Or, if you’re on a hiking trip, maybe there’s a distinct waterfall area where you and your partner can have sex.

DON’T: Pick a territory you don’t know. If you’re having sex outside, you should have a general understanding of your surroundings and know how to potentially navigate away from certain areas for the sake of privacy.

DO: Be respectful. You should not have sex somewhere where people are present, nor should you prevent others from taking in the splendor around them. Choose your spots wisely and be considerate of others.

DON’T: Ignore possible hazards. Having sex in the woods or camping sex, for example, might seem like a fun idea, but understand that a swarm of bugs or mosquitos may be detrimental to the experience. You should also be on the lookout for poison ivy.

DO: Know the potential consequences. Having sex in public can be a crime. That’s why it’s important to balance exhibitionist desires with the reality that some areas may be decidedly off limits.

Where to Have Outdoor Sex

Looking to explore and check some things off your sex bucket list? Consider some of these locations if you’re interested in turning up the heat with outdoor sex:

Sex on the beach: Get far more than just a tan, and beware of too much sand!

Hiking sex: Those rocks and mountains aren’t the only things you and our partner can climb.

Sex in the woods: What’s that about the birds and the bees? Look out for the occasional forest animal if you bare all in the forest. Or, pitch a tent in the woods, literally and figuratively.

Backyard or balcony sex: You don’t even have to move too far from the bedroom for outdoor sex! Make sure your neighbors have their curtains drawn!

Car sex: Taking a road trip? Perhaps you can find the time and space for a “pit” stop of a different sort.

These are but a few of the locations you might investigate for having sex outside. Refer back to the do’s and don’ts when evaluating your options.

Tips for Outdoor Sex

You have your do’s and don’ts, and you have some potential locations. What else should you know if you decide to take your sexcapades to the outdoors? Here are some tips for having safe and enjoyable outdoor sex:

    1. Plan ahead: Once you pick a location, you need to think about what amenities you might need. If you’re having beach sex, bring extra towels. If you’re having sex in a park or the woods, bring things like bug spray. Having to swat and bat at flies constantly would be quite the “buzz” kill.

    2. Make use of your surroundings: Trees, rocks or railings can make for good support when having sex outside, particular when it comes to standing sex positions. Be sure to communicate with your partner if you think propping themselves up might make for more pleasure, or if something doesn’t feel right.

    3. Use a lube: Time might be of the essence, so you and your partner will want to warm up quickly. With that it mind, it makes sense to incorporate some lube, whether during foreplay or before you engage in other sexual activities. Try any of the lubes in the Trojan™ portfolio for warming, cooling and tingling sensations that will put you and your partner in the mood.

    4. Keep some clothes on: You do not need to strip down to your birthday suit during outdoor sex. Consider just dropping the pants and drawers if you’re feeling frisky and angling for a quickie in nature.

    5. Have an exit strategy: Other people on your hiking trail or general purview may not appreciate walking up on you and your partner doing the deed. With that in mind, pick a spot with good visibility and look for ways you can quickly get to cover and get out of sight in case unassuming people come into view.

    6. Clean up properly: Don’t just chuck your condom over a railing or bury it in the sand. Take necessary measures to properly dispose of your protection measures. It’s not a bad idea to have paper towels and other things on hand in case things get… ahem … messy.

    7. Get into it: Embrace the thrill of having sex in your selected environment! Outdoor sex is meant to bring a change of pace, so take advantage of this exciting and new experience.
