Car Sex: Where, How, and How Not to Get Caught
The confined space adds challenge and thrill—here is how to make car sex work without getting arrested or injured.
The Thrill of the Confined Space
There's something about a car. Maybe it's the memories of teenage fumbling, that era when a car was the only private space available. Maybe it's the adventure of being somewhere you shouldn't be doing things you definitely shouldn't be doing. Maybe it's just the convenience of having a semi-private space available wherever you go.
Whatever the reason, car sex remains popular long after most people have perfectly good beds available. And done right, it can be genuinely exciting.
Location Is Everything
Where you park matters more than anything else. Get this wrong and you're looking at public indecency charges, which are not sexy.
Good locations:
Bad locations:
The goal is privacy without trespassing or putting yourself somewhere that creates legal risk. You want to be able to see if someone approaches.
The Logistics of Limited Space
Cars weren't designed for sex, which is obvious the first time you try to find a workable position. Accept that some adjustments are necessary.
The backseat is usually better than the front. More space, no steering wheel in the way. Fold the front seats forward if you can.
Reclined front seat works for certain things. Especially oral sex or having one person on top while the other is reclined.
SUVs and vans offer real advantages. Fold down the back seats, bring a blanket. Almost like a tiny bedroom.
Clothing adjustments beat full nudity. Skirts and dresses make things much easier. Pants around ankles work better than fully removed. Staying partially clothed also means faster recovery if someone approaches.
Positions That Work
Forget anything that requires space. You need positions that work in tight quarters.
Reclined driver's seat + partner on top: Push the seat all the way back and recline it. One person straddles the other. Works for penetration or grinding.
Backseat missionary variant: One person lies back across the seat while the other kneels between their legs. Not enough room for traditional missionary but close.
Backseat from behind: One person leans forward over the front seat or on hands and knees while the partner enters from behind.
Side by side: Both in the backseat, facing each other, legs intertwined. Good for slow, grinding sex.
Don't Forget: Oral Is Easier
Penetrative positions are challenging in a car. Oral sex is often more practical and plenty satisfying.
One person reclines while the other finds a position that works—kneeling in the footwell, leaning across the center console, repositioning in the backseat. Less acrobatic, often better results.
Safety and Practicality
Keep windows slightly cracked so they don't fog up—a dead giveaway to anyone passing by.
Have a cover story ready. If someone does approach, a blanket and quick repositioning can make it look like you were just "resting."
Don't do this when it's extremely hot or cold. Temperature becomes a factor fast in a car.
Be careful with the parking brake and gear shift. You'd be surprised how easy it is to accidentally put a car in motion during enthusiastic activity.
And always know where your keys are. Getting locked out of your own car while partially dressed is a particular kind of humiliation.
The Appeal Beyond the Act
Part of car sex is just the idea of it. The spontaneity. The slight risk. The "we couldn't even wait until we got home" energy.
Sometimes just making out heavily in a car, building tension until you can't stand it anymore, then driving home as fast as safely possible—that's its own kind of foreplay.
