Have you been fantasizing about hiking sex? Have you ever thought of what it would be like to have sex on a top of a mountain? If this is one of your sexual fantasies, below are some useful tips to make your hiking sex experience the absolute best.

Some people like to leave the fantasy of having sex while immersed in the beauty of nature for their imagination during hiking sex. By choosing to leave this idea out from the comfort of their minds, they seek the help of blissful vibes from a sex toy. However, some follow through with this idea. They venture into outdoor sex so that their intimacy can be shared with the sun or stars. Getting outside and doing activities like hiking is enjoyable, as Grubbs (2014) described. However, when you add a little twist, kinky behavior takes a turn for the better.

You need to handle hiking sex with care if you want the best aspects to be uncovered as you get busy making love in the fresh air. Below are the dos and don'ts of hiking sex.

Do’s

Hit Less Popular Trails

Less popular trails have fewer distractions. The possibility of getting caught while having sex adds a layer of excitement but can also lead to unpleasant and embarrassing situations. Finding a more private spot will allow you to focus more on enjoyable aspects of outdoor sex like the sun, the breeze on your body, the sounds of birds, and the view.

Carry a Picnic Blanket

You may fantasize about natural outdoor sex but panning it will considerably increase your mileage as far as hiking sex goes. You may be lucky and find a flat rock warmed up by direct sunshine, but that is not guaranteed. Natural surfaces are often uncomfortable and dirty, so bringing a more sex-friendly surface cover will increase your chances of a satisfying outcome.

Wear Simple Clothes

It is advisable to dress up in clothes that expose your private parts easily without having to remove the whole clothing. Test how fast you can put your clothes on and off to avoid getting stuck in an uncomfortable situation. As for men, pants with zipper flies make things easier, but different positions might require different clothing for women.

Carry Tissues and a Hand Sanitizer

Ensure you carry both wet and dry tissues and some hand sanitizer because they may be useful to help you clean up both before sex and after sex, making your experience more joyful and decreasing the risk of giving your partner and yourself infections. Hands are likely to get dirty in a natural setting, so the two most important things to do are cleaning up your hands before touching your genitals and urinating right after sex.

Protect Your Knees

Having sex on hard and rough surfaces can hurt your knees, so it's important to protect your knees with a piece of clothing like a shirt or towel.

Try Mountain-top Sex

You cannot beat the feeling of having sex on top of a mountain with the sun, wind, and birds of prey flying around you. Look for a safe spot that's safe from falling. The elevated position will make it easy for you to spot other hikers coming your way. Safety must come first. Experiencing mountaintop sex is a good way to live but the worst way to die.

Lose Yourself in the Moment

Hiking sex is all about adventure and urgency. Home is full of responsibilities like unwashed dishes and dirty laundry that need to be washed, whereas your local mountain is full of dappled sunlight and trees to hold onto. Don't worry about your kids, neighbors, or twigs you may be forced to pick out of your innerwear afterward. It will all be worth it.

Don'ts

Doing it Directly on the Grass

A lot of bad outcomes start with a good idea, and having sex on a messy surface is one. This means you are exposing yourself to all sorts of unnecessary risks of infections and parasites that can be prevented by throwing a towel or blanket under yourself.

Don't Forget About Safety

Whichever way you choose to enjoy yourself in nature, safety should be your priority. If the trail is removed from the inhabited areas, you need to take more precautions. The risk grows significantly when you are less experienced. A simple nature walk can get risky if you are inexperienced enough. Make sure you think about having enough food, water, clothes, and light whenever you visit the mountains.

Don't Litter

Sex can bring some of the most selfish behavior out of some individuals because many nice spots in nature are usually littered with things like condoms, condom wrappings, and wet tissues. Don't be reckless. Take a bag with you and collect garbage so you can properly dispose of it. Berge (2007) explained that synthetic materials do not belong in the natural environment.

Don't Forget About Others

Have fun in a way that does not insult or freak out other people. For instance, an elderly couple taking their grandchildren for a walk in the park can be outraged to walk in on people having sex in a gazebo or at a viewpoint, so be considerate about your location choice.

Forget Food and Water

Having some food and water is compulsory whenever you go hiking. According to Dustin et al. (2020), hiking needs energy, and sex can deplete your reserves, so the combination can make you feel weak or make you make bad choices, get lost, and put you in danger. Be on the safe side. Be smart and enjoy outdoor snacks on top of a nice sexual afterglow.

Conclusion

Having great hiking sex is more than the willingness to get leaves in your hair or sand where sand doesn't belong. If you are sure about the ideas, having the right attitude and thinking will ensure your pleasure is fun, exciting, and disaster-free.
