The foreplay is what makes shower sex so great. Washing each other can be very arousing. Soap on the skin can add a lot of sensitivity. Although in the shower the act itself can be cumbersome without some kind of seat, the shower is always an excellent place to kick things off before drying off and heading to the bedroom.

Another fun place to have sex that’s still in the confines of you or your partner’s space is the kitchen. If you’re having a romantic night in and things get steamy while you’re cooking together, who says you have to hop off the kitchen countertops and bring it to the bedroom? Just make sure you don’t burn dinner in the heat of the moment.

Or let’s say you’d rather not sleep where you eat, and you start heading for the bedroom… Why not cut the trip short by settling somewhere in between, like the hallway floor or a living room chair? Having a random element of spontaneous sex adds sexual tension to a relationship.

It might sound odd at first, but the laundry room is the perfect place to get down and dirty. There’s something about the height of the machine and the gentle rocking motion that make for a super-sexy combination. Try a warm or hot wash, and use the cotton cycle for the longest and fastest spin and most vibration.

Being able to see yourself in the act in real-time is interesting. You’ll find that you end up watching yourself just as much if not more than your partner. It’s unusual to be able to see yourself having sex while actually doing it, so it’s fun if you haven’t done it in a while, and especially if you’ve never done it before.

As you’re scouting for sexual adventure, don’t overlook couches and overstuffed chairs. Comfy and casual, they provide additional back support and their low height (compared with beds) makes a range of positions possible.

Inside a car is not the most comfortable place to have sex, but car sex is usually random and thrilling enough to make it so worth it. Car sex allows you to get more creative with new, unexpectedly pleasurable positions since it presents new spacial restrictions. Plus, the semi-public element can be exciting or some. Be sure to park somewhere discreet!

If you’re interested in having sex outside the bedroom but aren’t opposed to all beds worldwide, why not plan a romantic getaway? If you don’t have enough time for an actual trip, just have a staycation at a local hotel instead.
