Research Finds Public Sex Can Add Adventure To Boring Love Life

Posted byBy ABS Contributor | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Have you had sex in public? A lot of Americans have. And you won’t believe where it’s happening…

Even if you have yet to do it in a public place, you’ve probably thought about it. Go ahead, admit it. There’s no shame in trying to spice up your sex life with the threat of getting caught. There’s a primal urge in all of us to do something that’s both scary and mildly exciting. And the thought of being caught with your pants down is definitely a bit of both.

During a recent survey of 1,000 Americans age 18 and up, sex toy company Adam & Eve found that 52% of adults admit to having had sex in public.

The top three locations for getting it on in public are parked cars, with 80%, the woods with 55%, and a park with 44%. Also on the list are spots one would think would be more popular, like public bathrooms 22%, airplanes 7%, and a church, with 5%.

Adam & Eve’s “resident sex expert,” Dr. Kat Van Kirk, finds these numbers to be a great sign and proof that “Sex in public can add a sense of adventure to routine lovemaking habits.”

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
