There's nothing like leaving your hometown and your inhibitions behind when you jet off on an exotic adventure.
Whether your're taken or looking for love, if you're planning to get some action in a shared hostel, a tent, on the beach or even in the air, check out our tips below…
1: Join the Mile-High Club If it's good enough for Ralph Fiennes or Reese and Jake, then it's good enough for us! Rumour has it that the altitude (technically you've got to be above a mile for it to count) and the subtle vibrations of the flight make the experience out of this world. If you've always wanted to join the notorious club, then you're best to book a red-eye or overnight flight, that way most of the passengers will be asleep and unaware.
Either bring your partner with you, or use the waiting time in the departure lounge to choose your target. When the flight has reached the appropriate altitude, one at a time make your way to the bathroom. It's best to choose a moment when everyone is asleep or when the movie's on.
Once there, lock the door and prepare the cabin for takeoff by putting down the toilet seat and having one partner sit down - with them anchored to the seat this will hopefully prevent injury if turbulence hits! Execute the manoeuvre swiftly (to prevent queues when you emerge), remove the evidence and return to your seat. Smiling.
2. Bring out your animal instincts There's nothing like fresh air and the sounds of nature to bring out your animal instincts when you're camping! But how to satisfy those urges when you're in a small confined place with bumpy ground beneath you, single sleeping bags and there's only a thin layer of fabric between you and the rest of the happy campers?
Opt for a reasonable sized tent (not the pup tent you had as a kid, there is such a thing as too intimate), splurge on a self-inflatable mattress and a silk sleeping bag liner and join your sleeping bags together (unzip and then reattach the zips so they become one big bag).
It's not advisable to rip through the Kama Sutra back catalogue in your tiny, flimsy tent so opt for positions that require less movement. Also, make sure you don't leave the torch on either - otherwise you're liable to put on a free showing of 'Shadow Puppetry of the Penis’.
3. Escape the doom of a shared dorm Hostels and backpackers are cheap options when you're travelling on a shoestring. While single girls will be fans of the hordes of hot backpackers at your disposal, the open plan sleeping quarters mean you've got no privacy and everyone can hear everything that goes on.
So, when nightime falls and you're after some action, we advise looking for alternatives to your usual horizontal hanky panky. Try the laundry, no one uses that at night and there'll even be a conveniently supplied washing machine to rest on (and turn on).
If you're after a room with a lockable door, try the bathrooms. Once in the cubicle, have him sit on the seat and you in his lap - that way you can lift your legs off the floor if anyone busts in unexpected.
4. Sex on the beach The idea of sex on the beach seems awfully romantic, but the practicalities can be decidedly un-sexy! Sand is the major culprit (either within the water or on the beach) that can cause problems after the heat of moment has passed. Friction from rubbing skin against sand can cause discomfort, as can sand left in places where it shouldn't be. To counteract this, opt for a standing position or use a large beach towel and shower off afterwards.
If you're looking for a lube substitute on an impromptu romp, don't opt for the nearest tube of SPF as the oil-base of the sunscreen can cause a condom to break. Also bear in mind, if you're getting freaky in the ocean or the hotel's pool, a variety of factors can also increase the chances of your condom breaking including a lack of lubrication, harsh pool chemicals and the heat of hotter spa temperatures etc.
Remember:
Holiday sex can be fabulous, but make sure you practice safe sex and take the necessary precautions to avoid bringing home any unwanted and lasting souvenirs.
