Cooped Up? Get Uncooped.

My two most popular posts, by far? "How to have good sex in the woods" and "how to have good sex on the beach."

You perverts.

Just kidding. In the spirit of promoting the combination of two very enjoyable activities, here are a few bonus tips for great sex in the great outdoors.

Things to bring:

Blanket, bottle of wine, compact Lexan wine glasses Viva la sexy picnic!

Bug tent So you're dying to get it on next to this beautiful, isolated forest stream, but said forest is infested with mosquitoes capable of carrying off small dogs? Set up a mesh bug tent. Then you can enjoy the surroundings without being eaten alive.

Camera Snap a photo of the view from your love nest. Later, you can frame it, hang it, look at it, and smile.

Things NOT to bring:

Candles Forest fires are not sexy. Enough said.

Whipped cream, chocolate syrup, and other sexy edibles There's a place to get sweet and sticky during the act of love. The outdoors is not that place. Three reasons: bugs, bears, and stuff that might stick to you, like sand. 

Handcuffs Nature-loving kinksters, restrain yourselves. Leave the cuffs at home. If someone stumbles across your love nest, you're going to want to be able to cover up in a hurry. Hard to do that with steel bracelets.
