How to Have Car Sex
Car sex.
Go on, think about it. What springs to mind?
Fumbling around in the dark? Steamy makeout sessions that fog up the windows faster than your mum’s old Vauxhall Corsa? Desperately trying to get at each other while the gear stick’s jabbing someone in the ribs? That very specific moment when you accidentally beep the horn mid-thrust and immediately regret every life choice?
Yep. Been there. Done that. Got the T-shirt. (And maybe a bruise or two.)
If your brain went straight to the awkwardness, fair enough. Car sex can be an absolute faff. But here’s the thing, it can also be weirdly good. There’s something about the thrill, the spontaneity, the “we might get caught but let’s do it anyway” energy that gives it a certain je ne sais horny.
And if you were picturing the hot bits, love that for you, but let’s not pretend it’s always smooth sailing. Unless you drive a Ford pickup with a mattress in the back (and at that point, is it really even classed as car sex?), chances are you’re going to bump elbows, cramp something, or flash your hazards at a very unfortunate moment.
So, is car sex sexy? Awkward? Iconic? Honestly… yes.
And we’re here to give you a few tips on how to make it all of the above, so buckle up… see what we did there?
Planning the Perfect Car Sex Encounter
Even if the fantasy is all about spontaneity, a little thought goes a long way. This isn’t about over-scheduling the mood, it’s about avoiding rookie mistakes.
Pick Your Parking Spot Wisely
Location is everything. Sure, spontaneity is part of the appeal, but choosing the right spot can make or break the experience.
You want somewhere private enough to avoid being actually caught, but not so remote you feel like you're starring in the opening scene of a true crime documentary. A quiet residential street? Risky. The corner of Tesco's car park at midnight? Questionable. A lay-by in the countryside or a quiet dead-end road? Now we’re talking.
Golden rule: Avoid anywhere with CCTV, overly nosy neighbours, or a high chance of dog walkers and teenagers showing up mid-session.
Also… handbrake ON, engine OFF. Nothing kills the mood like accidentally rolling into a hedge.
Dressing and Positioning for Success
It’s not just about what you do, it’s about how easy you make it for yourself.
Dress for the Occasion (And the Space Constraints)
Let’s be real: this is not the time for full bondage wear or your most complicated lingerie. Car sex is not about undressing slowly and seductively – it’s about efficiency with a side of chaos.
Wear something comfy, something loose, and something you can move in. Skirts, joggers, or stretchy jeans are ideal. Basically, think: “Can I straddle a gear stick in this?” If the answer is yes, you’re good to go.
Also, consider shoes. Big boots? Not helpful. Trainers or barefoot (if you're brave) will give you way more mobility when trying to turn around in a footwell.
Positioning Is Everything (Literally)
This is where things get fun. And potentially hilarious.
Car interiors were designed for driving, not intimacy. So you’ll need to get creative. The most obvious starting point is the passenger seat reclined fully back, which makes for decent semi-horizontal action. The back seat is a classic choice too, slightly more space, fewer knobs and levers digging in.
Try a straddle, a side saddle, or lie back and let your partner climb in. If you're particularly flexible (or determined), you can even move the front seats forward to create more room in the back.
Just don’t try anything too acrobatic. You're not auditioning for Cirque du Soleil. Unless you are, in which case… good luck and stretch beforehand.
Essentials for Comfort and Safety
A few simple items can turn chaos into something much more enjoyable.
Don’t Forget Your Pleasure Kit
Spontaneity is sexy. But so is being prepared.
If you're even thinking about having sex in a car, keep a little glovebox stash ready. At the very least, you’ll want:
- A few Skins condoms (because safe sex is always sexy)
- A sachet or two of lube - things can get dry when you're trying to get it on in a cold car at 2am
- Some wipes or tissues for a quick clean-up
- A small towel or blanket to lie on (or to protect your seats from the aftermath)
Trust me, there’s nothing less hot than awkwardly searching for a napkin post-orgasm because you forgot to bring anything absorbent.
Keep It Legal (And Safe)
Public sex is technically illegal in the UK if someone witnesses it and feels offended. That includes sex in a car, even if it's parked. So be smart. Be discreet. And don’t do it in broad daylight next to a children’s playground, yeah?
Safety-wise, also make sure:
- You're not parked somewhere dangerous (e.g. on a hill, near traffic, on soft ground)
- You're not under the influence
- You're able to lock the doors if needed
- You have an escape please if someone knocks on your window mid-thrust
Making It Fun (Even When It’s Awkward)
Car sex is never perfect – and that’s the point.
Communication is Sexy
Like with all sex, car sex should be consensual, comfortable, and fun. If something feels off, hurts, or just isn’t working – speak up. Laugh it off, adjust, try something else.
There’s no prize for sticking it out in an awkward position just because you feel like you should. This is about connection, not choreography.
And if it all goes wrong? That’s a story for later. Or one you’ll laugh about on the drive home.
Embrace the Chaos
It’s messy. It’s cramped. You’ll hit your head. You’ll fog up every window. Someone’s elbow will definitely get stuck in the seatbelt buckle. But that’s all part of the fun.
It’s not about porn-level aesthetics – it’s about the heat of the moment, the shared giggles, and the freedom to be a little bit wild now and then.
So, whether it's a quickie after date night or a full-blown backseat bonanza, lean into the chaos, protect your pleasure, and remember: hazards off, handbrake on.
Your Car, Your Rules
Car sex might not be for everyone – but if you’re curious, adventurous, and ready to roll (not literally), it can be a fun way to shake things up.
Just remember:
- Pack the essentials
- Pick the right spot
- Protect yourself and your partner
- And most importantly, enjoy it
Because great sex doesn’t need a fancy setting – sometimes all it takes is a quiet parking spot, a bit of imagination, and a packet of Skins in the glovebox.
