Sex while travelling. Not only can having sex with a stranger or while on vacation be incredibly thrilling, if you’re smart and safe about it, it can leave you with some very fond memories of your trip.
After all, we humans are not solitary creatures by any means — so it’s only natural that, even as you continue a nomadic existence, you’d want to build relationships and connections throughout your trip. Having NSA sex while traveling is not topic that is widely discussed on blogs so this post will really help you get your ducks in a row.
Whether you’re planning to travel with friends, a significant other, or go solo, here are 6 tips to keep in mind for the best NSA sex experiences when you travel.
If you’re planning for some panky while you’re travelling, plan to stock up on all the requisite forms of birth control and vaccines before you leave. If you’re a woman, you should stock up on the appropriate amount of birth control pills before you leave. If you know you’ll be travelling long-term, you might want to look into options like IUDs and talk to your doctor about any vaccines you might need — not just for medical reasons but to prevent STIs such as the HPV vaccine.
Look, NSA sex is great when you know you’ve back yourself up and you don’t have to worry. Many countries don’t have condoms or birth control readily available, over-the-counter. Nothing is more embarrassing than having to explain to the pharmacist, who possibly doesn’t speak your language, what you’re looking for.
When you’re hopping from country to country, you’re not living your everyday life and the lack of routine can make you forget what the expectations of relationships. Just like you would with a long-term partner, make sure you know exactly what you’re looking for. And, when you do, make sure your partner is on the same page as you.
If you’re only looking for something for one night, your partner should be fully aware of that and want the same thing. Likewise, if you’d like a partner for the duration of your travels, but nothing more, they should as well.
The point is that you’re both looking for the same thing. Have the conversation that will keep both of you in the know. Traveling with a broken heart (or knowing you've broken someone's heart) should not be part of the adventure, but a sensual and pleasant night for you.
And when you finally get down to the act of some hot, steamy, alone-time with your beau…make sure it is, well, truly alone. Yes, you can travel on a budget. But that doesn’t mean you have to have sex in front of other people, in a dorm or a hostel. Not only is it awkward for your dormmates, it’s never fun trying to engage in a physical act with other people present. If you’re the kind of person that doesn’t really care about exhibitionist sex, that’s fine. But at least be mindful and considerate of those who are trying to sleep around you. Having sex in a private room is better for your own experience as well as that of other travellers.
And here are some good points to note: with a private room, you can have sex multiple times and all night long if you want!
There’s way more room on the bed and you can be a little loud without feeling rushed bringing the dirty side of yours. Make a little noise and have the time of your life.
Wherever you go, know what the law is regarding public sex as well as simple PDA. Depending on where you’re traveling, even kissing in public or holding hands might be frowned upon, especially if you're planning to hook up with some of the locals. Hooking up with someone in your travel group while traveling together is easier because travellers can band together for support and you don’t stand to get in as much trouble.
But you still need to know what the consequences of breaking the country’s laws is. Look at travel like being invited to someone’s house. If your host requests that you place your drink on a coaster, you’re not going to openly decline and do the exact opposite, right? NSA sex while traveling should be just as considerate to feel as good as you want. Think about that being arrested might be a total romantic buzzkill.
No matter what you do… Don’t pay for sex!
This is less about judging the sexual proclivities of people and more about staying safe. Many prostitutes and red light districts in the Global South don’t adhere to the same standards of safety or hygiene as you may be used to in your home country. Paying for sex, even if with a local takes away from the fun of forming a connection with a real person. It becomes transactional and NSA sex becomes sex with money. That may not leave you with the memories you’re looking for.
And by this, we mean truly being safe: packing your own condoms from your own country with brands that you know and are comfortable with. Don’t leave with people who are pushy or with whom you get an odd feeling.
Trust your gut.
It’s not just women who are drugged and taken advantage of sexually, in these sorts of foreign situations. NSA sex while traveling has seen many a man taken advantage of by being drugged and then being robbed of their important travel possessions. Keep your head about you at all times. Besides simply the logistics of having sex with a stranger and all the “safe sex” practices that entails, you want to make sure your friends know where you’re going. And try not to have NSA sex when you’re too drunk to remember what’s going on.
No matter what you get up to while traveling, you’re going to come home with a treasure trove worth of memories. These 6 tips are meant to make sure that you minimize the risk and you actually have memories that you enjoy recalling, without any sense of regret.
NSA sex while traveling can only enhance your experience so make sure you’re doing it right.
