Sex & Relationships

Like margaritas, sex can be even better when experienced al fresco. "Having sex outside awakens the senses," says sex therapist Sandor Gardos. "Feeling the breeze on your skin, smelling the freshly cut grass – stimuli are very erotic." Plus, the fear of getting caught can add a thrill. To inspire you, we've come up with prime outdoor spots for getting busy, plus advice on the best positions in each.

In the Water

Getting wet can be pretty wild (Think dam, pool, outdoor shower). “Being immersed in water, or standing in a stream of it, feels pleasurable, since your skin can become more sensitive to touch when wet,” Gardos says. But water can wash away your own lubrication, so use a silicone-based lube.

Prime Position: Standing Up

Wrap your legs around his waist (if you’re in the shower, have him lean you up against the wall for support) and push your swimsuit bottom to the side for easy access. Then throw your arms around his neck while he grabs your butt to control the pace.

Doing it outdoors is fun. A nice place is at your local botanical garden, easy to find a secret spot. Had the best sex at Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens

My boyfriend and i were at the beach this weekend & went for a walk on the beach at about 6pm so was getting dark. We found a nice big dry tree truck & with no one else on the beach & knowing no one can hear or see us i pulled my skirt up & straddled him!it was so exciting moaning loudly as i climaxed!it was just the perfect setting!

OMG! Lat night my boyfriend and i were walking back from a party along the beach. Then he pushed me up against a tree and kissed me, we stripped quickly and started doing it. We were both moanning so loudly, i am surprised we weren't busted.
