Tips and tricks.
Wear the proper attire.
Whether you’re out hiking or getting cozy in your tent, there’s nothing sexy about being freezing.
Go for clothes that are warm, Dri-FIT, and comfortable.
As certified sex coachGigi Engletells mbg, “Elastic bands are your friend.
Use them to your advantage.
You know what I mean here: Be able to pull them up and down quickly.”
Even in the desert it can be freezing at night, so wear layers."
verify your tent is well-equipped.
As far as comfort goes, your tent setup can really make or break the experience.
If you don’t want to be limited by space, you’ll want a big tent.
As avid campers know, nothing gets hot and steamy faster than a tent on a summer’s day.
In addition to that, “The ground is always more uncomfortable than you think,” Nelson says.
“A good sleeping bag is great, but bring something to put underneath your blankets or bag.”
Not only will this add cushion, but it can also help prevent dampness.
“Bring along waterproof gear,” Engle adds.
One other thing that may be nice to have is a two-person sleeping bag, for extra closeness.
Pack the essentials.
“Take along a good water-based lube and some cleanup wipes,” she adds.
Here’s a packing list if you intend to have camping sex:
Leave no trace.
As always with any hiking or camping trip, leave no trace.
Keep it simple.
“Avoid anything that is too complicated,” Engle tells mbg.
Check out the list of recommended outdoor sex positions, below.
Find a secluded location.
Last but not least, keep it low-key.
Privacy is essential, so ensure it.
Remember to turn off any lanterns in your tentshadows are a thing.
No need to get back to your tentas long as you’re in a secluded and safe spot.
Engle recommends standing doggy-style in this case, which is exactly what it sounds like.
Mutual masturbation is also a great option to keep in mind.
Again, the object here is to not require too much space.
Spooning is romantic and intimate, and it’s a great opportunity to break in that two-person sleeping bag.
Just be sure you’re prepared to clean up.
Lotus is very intimate and can really deepen the already romantic experience.
Safety and things to keep in mind:
Keep in mind the legal ramifications.
In most places, it’s not legal to have sex outdoors.
If you’re willing to take the risk, heed these precautions seriously.
Watch out for wildlife and poisonous vegetation.
“Remember that wildlife is wild,” Nelson notes.
“Ticks, mosquitoes, snakes, and plants like poison ivy and poison oak are real.”
Avoid getting unwanted substances near your private areas.
The bottom line.
“Don’t put a ton of pressure on performance,” Engle says.
“Snuggle, kiss, jack each other off.
Enjoy the intimate time together and the quiet of nature.
Do whatever feels comfortable for you two.”
