5 Sex Tips for Solo Travelers
And who better than the Once team to help out? We’ve put together an expert list of tips. Each is tried and tested by countless singles abroad. Check it out, and have fun traveling!
#1 Always be prepared
Spontaneous sex is a big thing when people are traveling. One moment you are flirting away in the dating chat, and the next thing you know – you guys are leaving the restaurant after a delicious meal, and you’re both kind of into each other. The last thing you want is to stress about not showering, shaving, changing underwear, or cleaning up your room before leaving. Don’t let any of that stop you from living your best sex life.
#2 Stay safe and maintain privacy
This is an important tip both for men and for women. There are many weirdos out there, so as you date and chat with new people, don’t share too much of your personal data or where you’re staying. Be spontaneous, but be smart about it.
Speaking of safety, don’t rely on the other person to bring protection. Safe sex is crucial for your mental and physical health, so bring along an abundance of condoms and dental dams, wash up before and after, and don’t be shy about asking them about their sexual health.
#3 Book smart accommodation
Unless you’re traveling to extremely expensive locations, aim to book separate rooms with private bathrooms. A bed in a hostel shared with 12 other people is all fun and games until you want to bring your date home for some sexy time. You will appreciate the privacy and access to your own bathroom when steamy shower sex becomes your reality. Just don’t go broke booking luxurious hotels to impress your potential dates, and stay within the budget.
#4 Bring your own devices
Nothing spoils a trip quite like unmet expectations. Your perfect match may never come along, or you get sick, or you’re simply too exhausted from all the sightseeing. You need a plan B in case your international dating doesn’t go as planned. What’s the solution here? Toys and other accessories. Bring them along and make them a part of your date, or enjoy them solo. Traveling on your own is a wonderful time for self-exploration or sexploration. Have fun with yourself! You don’t need anyone else to score an orgasm or learn something new about your body.
#5 Be mindful of local customs
We’re not talking only about extreme cases, like when Samantha in Sex And The City 2 has managed to anger the sheik by having a PDA with a hot guy in front of everybody. The little nuances are worth observing and respecting too. Mindful dating abroad will boost your chances of having a sexy time, plus you’ll come across as a decent human being and not that horrible tourist everyone hates.
Bottom line
Traveling is exciting, and having sex when you’re in a new country is even more fun! Some of the best sex stories are told about experiences abroad. If you’ve booked your tickets and look forward to the bedroom adventures, remember that basic sex rules still apply, no matter where you are. Treat the other person with respect, make sure your own boundaries are known and heard, use protection, and be mindful of your partner’s feelings and reactions. Most importantly, have fun with it, and don’t stress too much! Whether you end up having great sex on your trip or it’s not happening for you this time – make the most of your adventures and enjoy yourself!
