From graveyards to Ferris Wheels, FJ readers share the most unusual places they’ve had sex

“Everyone knew what we were doing.”

When the mood is right, it doesn’t matter where you’re having sex for it to be good. It can be in the bed you sleep in every night and still be mind-blowing.

With that said, there’s something delightfully risqué about getting it on in an unconventional setting. Whether it’s in the car, a stairwell or out in nature, it typically involves an added level of passion and spontaneity.

If nothing else, it makes for a pretty good story. Curious about others’ sexual escapades, we asked FJ readers to anonymously share the most unusual places they’ve had sex.

Sierra*, 30, she/her

Despite considering myself a prude, over the years the most adventurous places I’ve done the deed include the middle of a football field (hot), an Airbnb spa pool (don’t recommend), and a sleeper cabin of an overnight train. The latter was probably the most adventurous, logistics-wise. You have the privacy, bunk beds and like 12 hours to kill, so you can get creative.

The park incident occurred during a night out with a hot stranger I met at a bar. It felt like I was in an episode of Girls. Afterwards, I returned to the bar and pretended to my friends like nothing happened, but one of them pulled a twig out of my hair. I never saw the man again, probably for the best.

Zara*, 24, she/her

I was on a hike with my boyfriend at the time (we were not hiking people), and we had overestimated how long it would take. On one side of us was a cliff onto the ocean and on the other a forest. We realised how secluded we were, so we took a break on the rocks near the side of a cliff, which then led to sex. Pretty dangerous now that I look back on it.

Georgia*, 23, she/her

I was in Berlin and I met a guy at KitKat, we left together and hooked up in the hostel emergency stairwell.

Kye*, 21, she/her

It was the night of my 20th birthday, I was staying in Edinburgh for the week and the hostel I was at was hosting a Halloween party. I spotted this absolutely gorgeous guy from Germany  – tall, curly brown hair and dressed as a devil. We both bonded over the fact that we were twins and went out dancing.

We were walking back to the hostel past the graveyard overlooking Castle Rock. All I can say is I never thought I would do it in a graveyard, but we did and it was some of the best sex I’ve ever had. Picture this: slightly wine drunk, there’s light from the full moon, we were both dressed in Halloween attire, overlooking a castle in a spooky graveyard. And oh, did I mention the sex was so good!

Camilla*, 29, she/her

The cemetery. In broad daylight. My husband and I drove there to visit my late father-in-law, whom I never met. We didn’t do it in front of his grave. I was wearing a dress, and there was not a soul around. It felt natural. The other time was at a beach at night, it was a full moon and drizzling.

Sammy*, 25, he/they

It happened on a date in Montreal and we did it on an enclosed Ferris Wheel. It was a nice view but when we got out everyone knew what we were doing.

Amy*, 21, she/her

I was with my boyfriend and we were at the beach where we usually park up at night to hang out. One night, he decided to be more risqué (I’m supposedly the freakier one, by the way) and asked to go on a walk on the beach. We were walking, it was cold, slightly spitting, all you could hear were the waves and the only source of light was the moon. We started making out and next thing… well, you know.

The next weekend, we drove across town to go to a specific park that had hills so we could try it there. We went to the top of the hill to do our thing there and you could hear the planes and see the whole view of the suburb from the top.
