Se-x Bucket List: 10 Places To Have S-ex Before You Kick The Bucket - (Add More To The List)

Click banner for more info

1. Get Autoérotic

The bigger the vehicle the more scope there is for s-éxual adventure, but if you don't drive a Bentley have no fear. You'd be surprised at how well you can get down to it in the most cramped of spaces. So, set the sat nav for the local lovers lane or secluded parking lot and start steaming up those windows.

2. Do Some Lengths in the Pool

The water rushes around your genitals, making both of you feel different and more exciting. The buoyancy allows great thrusting with minimum effort and orgasm is reached with ease as the water relaxes and soothes. You can take it slow or re-enact your favorite scene in Showgirls. Beware as water may kill the natural lube and make entry a little difficult, but ultimately worth the effort. Aim for a hotel pool after dark rather than the local Rec centre unless you want a criminal record for your efforts.
