Public displays of affection are everywhere, sex in public places is on the rise and more people are joining the Mile High Club... So how far is too far when it comes to public displays?
Quick question: does the sight of couples making out in public make you to feel jittery, uncomfortable, jealous, outraged, or a little turned-on?
Do you find yourself shouting "Oh get a room people!" when a saucy couple decide to turn the afternoon train ride into a lap dance? When a pair in the grocery store won't stop canoodling by the frozen peas section? Or what about when your cousin and their new partner are all over each other at the family barbeque?
Commonly known as PDA (public displays of affection), flaunting your lust in front of a bunch of strangers can wreak havoc amongst those around you. "I can't stand any form of PDA," sneers my single PDA-hating friend Jim. "It makes my skin want to crawl." And a quick dip into the blogosphere proves Jim is not alone.
So why all the malice? "I don't mind being privy to a peck on the cheek, two people holding hands or even a little tongue," he explains. "But I have a problem with the full-on steamy make-out scene with tongues wagging, hands flying and legs everywhere happening right in front of our noses while we eat our dinner. Don't you think it's a tad bit rude? Ew, no thank you."
Agreed. Yet those of us who are just a little more than fed up with icky public displays of affection better join the queue because it seems PDA is here to stay - and it's about to get a whole lot steamier.
Forget a simple snog, a little grope or a few tongues on display. There's a new trend in town and it's about having sex in public places. A recent poll suggests it happening in whopping proportions and it's the Norwegians who are leading the sexual way.
The survey carried out by Cora publishing house, interviewed 6,600 people from 20 different countries, found 66 per cent of Norwegians had been in such a situation.
But wait! Before you all go racing off to Norway, you'll be pleased to know Aussies aren't so prudish themselves with 64 per cent saying they've run the risk too. (Only 13 per cent of the French had done the same.)
Top favourite sexual haunts include the usual suspects; cars, trains, beaches, parks, offices and even libraries for getting jiggy with it in public. (Who would have thought?)
Yet we can't talk about sex in public places without the mention of the Mile High Club (or MHC as it's known to members). Never heard of it? Well apparently it's the term used to describe the act done in an airplane with the official website defining it as "two people engaging in sexual activity (sexual intercourse) at an altitude of no less than 5,280 ft (a mile high above the earth) in an airplane."
Now before you scoff at the thought, it's become so widely popular that apparently Virgin Atlantic are allowing passengers to join it's Mile-High Club on the new super jumbo planes which come complete with private cabins featuring a sofa, washing facilities, and a double bed. Mmm...
So what's the big appeal with going public? Is it lust, urgency, bigger spaces or the ability to brag to your mates? Well according to Australian sex therapist and author Dr. Janet Hall, public sex is naughty and risky because "we might get caught, so it gives us additional adrenalin rush to add to the sexual turn-on". But don't say we didn't warn you about getting caught mid act... or is that the whole point anyway?

Wow! Those were easier to earn then I thought!
LOL! Sounds like a Steven Wright joke.
LOL!
And bring your number cards.
There is NEVER urgency to sex. It should be scheduled & planned around a woman's cycle for procreation. 
Ooops, I forgot.
I must go say my Hail Mary's.
Wow! Those were easier to earn then I thought! 
Come on? You mean you were not kidding...
Then... You really were that drunk?
I tell ya, Millee... 
That 'Oh, I must have passed out!' line is getting real old!
You are one to talk, Claven! 
Welllll....since you asked ...
~GCR~
It's only old when it stops working. ;o)
The urgency thingy. However, most probably try to make it as discreet and unnoticable as possible.I was going to comment on the "urgency" thing, too. I pretty much agree with all of your post.
Thanks. :)
C'mere and gimme a kiss!
'Kay, now I'm worried about you! Somebody grabber and ripper clothes off, pronto!
Thanks for a very entertaining story :)
