Best Sex Positions For…

Flying can be a so-so affair. It’s pretty much the same event. The destination or meal might change, but in the end, it’s all the same.

Adding a little sexual activity to your flight might seem like an ideal way to pass the time, but convincing your lady it’s a good idea might be the first, and most difficult, challenge to overcome on your way to joining the popular ‘Mile High Club’.

How can you convince her that having sex on an airplane will be fun, exciting, and worth the risk (yes, it IS illegal to have sex in an airplane so do proceed at your own risk!) and possible discomfort?

Convincing your woman to have sex on an airplane is as simple as addressing her concerns, promising to deliver and knowing the limitations. Let’s look at each of these in detail.

What To Do Before You Board The Plane

If your woman is closed off to the idea of having sex on a plane, be sure you understand her concerns. If you can, start before you even board the plane. Tell her that you’re goal is simply to “spice up” your sex lives and that you have no underlying wish to end up in jail.

You already know her threshold for adventure. If she’s pretty adventurous, you already have an “in”. If she’s not, ask her what her concerns are. Let’s look at some common concerns, and what to do about it:

Concern #1: She’s Afraid Of Getting Caught

She’s afraid you’ll be found out. Tell her that airplane sex is common. It happens more than you realize. In fact, it might have happened near her on a flight. She just didn’t know. Besides, there are many things you can do to prevent being caught.

You can keep yourselves covered with a blanket.
You can head to the bathroom and do the deed there (we’ll look at this in a bit).
You can limit your sexual activities so they’re not so obvious.
You can save the activity for a red eye, or late night flight when people are asleep.

Concern #2: She’s Too Embarrassed To Do It

Again, if nobody knows, what’s there to be embarrassed about? You can tell her that the two of you can simply hold hands, and kiss a little. Then you can move onto more intimate activities. Only if she feels comfortable will you move on even more. You might suggest she order wine or another drink to help her relax.

Concern #3: She’s Too Shy

She has a general objection to PDAs (public displays of affection). In this case, maybe she’s never thought of herself as the “wild and adventurous” kind of girl. Let her get it in her head and mull it over a bit first. She may soon realize that she’s more interested than she thought she ever would be.

Whatever her concerns are, be certain to reassure her that you won’t do anything that violates appropriate behavior given the circumstances. Tell her that you’ll respect decorum. No matter how excited you are about the possibility of joining that elusive Mile High Club, tell her that you will be discreet, quiet and controlled.

Finally… Let her know that if a problem arises, you’ll take the blame, admit fault, do whatever you have to do to protect her. Once you have reassured your woman that you have a plan, that it will be fun, and that you’ll be the fall guy if you have to, you will likely succeed in convincing her to get busy with you at 30,000 feet.

Ideally, the above discussions should take place before you board the plane or before your trip. However, if you’re already onboard when it occurred to you to see if she’s interested in some “above the skies action“, simply discuss it with her…but respect her concerns.

You can have a low, quiet conversation about things while on the plane. (Tip: Make sure it’s a long fight, so there is time to convince her!)

Now, let’s say you’ve convinced her. Great! Now what? Follow these tips to make your airplane sex fantasy come true.

Get An Aisle Seat

Make sure one of you has an aisle seat. In some cases, you can choose your seat after you buy your ticket. I always select an aisle seat. Nothing is worse than having to crawl over people to head to the bathroom to complete the deed. If one of you is on the aisle, you have an easy way to get to the bathroom with a minimum of fuss.

Do It At The Right Time

Go to the bathroom at times that are not busy. This might include meal or snack service, or right before the captain says it’s OK to move about the cabin. (This is when the flight attendants begin getting ready for service but before us regular folk are told it’s fine to start walking around.)

Quick Wipe Down

When you get to the bathroom, try and wipe down any surfaces that might need wiping; if you have any sanitized wipes, even those designed for hands, use them. Then proceed with your hot and illicit lovemaking!

Tell your woman that you’ll make sure she’s good and ready (perhaps some dirty talk beforehand in your seats, or even a little bit of subtle foreplay?) so things go well for her and not just you.

Make It Quick and Quiet

Be prepared for a quiet quickie. This isn’t the time to try out new positions or have all night honeymoon-sex where you moan at the top of your lungs. It’s the time to have fun quickly, quietly and, let’s face it, be proud of the accomplishment.

Another reason to make it quick and quiet is other people may be waiting to use the lavatory. If they’re standing outside waiting for you two to finish, and they hear some familiar sounds that shouldn’t be heard on board an aircraft, it may give them some suspicion about what you’re doing in there…

How To Exit The Lavatory After Sex

Finally, when it’s time to leave the bathroom, do it in a subtle way. If someone sees you leaving together, say that one of you (decide who ahead of time) was sick and the other was there for comfort and support. (Hey, it will be hard for anyone to prove otherwise.)

Being in the “on top” position during sex can be a nerve-wracking experience for both women and men.

The expectation to please and to make the person “on bottom” orgasm can easily turn a playful sexual experience into an emotional disaster. Although it’s commonly assumed that the person in the dominant position has more control over the situation, and is therefore less vulnerable, this is not often the case from an emotional perspective.

Sure, they may be controlling the movements, but they are also putting their physical selves and their sexual prowess on display. If these attributes are commented upon or criticized by their partners, it could lead to feelings of shame – an emotion that rarely, if ever, makes sex better.

Women Can Be Particularly Vulnerable to “On Top” Criticisms

Because women are still “supposed” to be the sexually submissive sex, when a woman does work up enough courage to take a controlling position in bed she’s likely to be even more nervous than her male counterparts ever were. Most women feel rather out of place and very hesitant the first few times they try to be on top.

(Guys, remember how you felt the first time you had sex and were expected to “take control” of things?! Now multiply that by five and you’ll have an idea of how she’s feeling.) This nervousness often leads to jerky movements, sudden stops, and a general lack of sexual “flow.” The results can be an “on bottom” partner who not only doesn’t reach orgasm, but may start wondering where his usually submissive and confident sex kitten has gone.

Everyone Has to Find Their Own Sexual “Groove”

Just like everyone has their own special way of boogy-ing down on the dance floor, everyone has their own internal sexual rhythms they need to discover, usually via trial and error. Often by the time men are in their thirties they’ve practically forgotten what it was like to not have a defined sexual pattern. Women, on the other hand, often aren’t comfortable enough to explore their sexuality fully until they are in their thirties, which makes finding their natural rhythms (the ones that really come from their own bodies – not the ones that come from following someone else’s) that much harder.

Tips to Calm Her Down and Help Find Her Own Rhythm

Use Background Music – One of the easiest ways to relax into a sexual situation is to play your favorite sensual tunes in the background. Not only will music give her a little “mind escape” since she can close her eyes and let her imagination drift – very helpful is she is really nervous – but it will provide her with a rhythm. She can further play with this idea by picking music of varying tempos to see which ones “feel” the best to her, and to her partner.

Stop Thinking Up and Down and Start Thinking Front and Back – Many women who first get on top have an image of a woman “bouncing” up and down on her partner. The up and down motion does, of course, work for some women in some situations, but don’t forget to try rocking her hips back and forth as well! This kind of serpentine motion tends to feel more natural for women and is perfect for either the woman-sitting-man-lying-down positions or the woman-and-man-sitting positions. By rocking her hips front and back she not only stimulates her g-spot (and often her clitoris against his pubis), but gives the man intense stimulation without ever having to “pull out.” Start off slowly, varying the speed and the depth of penetration (it can be too intense if she fully sits down and he is completely inside). This is a great technique that can bring most men to orgasm in a way they never expected.

Let Him Lead in the Beginning – For women who are very unsure of how they should proceed, why not let him lead with his hands on her hips in the beginning? This can make her feel more emotionally secure since he is still somewhat in control, and will give her a chance to get used to the new vantage point. Once she is ready, let her go slowly, let her try out different things, and be supportive. Tell her what feels good, what angles you enjoy. And never hesitate to let her know how great she looks “up there!”

Final Things to Consider

Faster is not always better! It’s very common for women to find and enjoy slower rhythms than men. However, this doesn’t mean the woman on top sex position can’t make men orgasm just as easily. In fact many men find a medium paced rhythm to be both effective and excruciatingly pleasurable since it tends to draw out the excitement phase that much longer.

And Guys, if your partner isn’t the smoothest of lovers right away, please try to hide any confusion you may have and remember to be encouraging. She’ll find her “groove” eventually. And when she does, don’t be surprised if you have to wrestle her to the bottom just to get some of your own “on top” time back again!
