I s there a submarine club as well? I’ve always fantasized about doing it at say 35 feet. Is it better under water? ---

No, but my wife and I discussed and considered it on our overseas flight to our honeymoon location. We figured it was too risky so we resorted to a little under-the-blanket mutual masturbation. She was too nervous to finish so she excused herself to finish up in the bathroom, and when she returned I went and did the same. ---

Nah. I was too busy being airsick to have sex. (I like flying. And boats. And stuff like that. I just need a lot of Gravol…) ---

> [@rachelellogram](#): > > The couple times I’ve flown, there absolutely was not enough room in the bathroom for two people, not even two REALLY skinny people. Even really small airplane bathrooms are big enough for two small to normal sized people. If nothing else, I could stand/squat on the toilet seat and make it work that way. But no, not a member. I don’t think I could get turned on with the smell of that blue chemical they put in the toilets perfuming the air. ---

I was propositioned. However, I am a happily married man and the propositioner was not my wife, so I declined. ---

Nope. Once a girl smile at me on a plane. But that’s as close as I ever got. ---

> [@Der\_Trihs](#): > > I immediately googled “Sex While Skydiving” and yes, [got a hit](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/13/skydiving-sex-bakersfield_n_1010063.html). So there’s no need for bathrooms! Although I’d definitely make it a quickie. Hey! I live there! Incidentally, some friends went sky diving with that outfit a few weeks before the video thing happened. That guy that was in the sex video? Shockingly enough, he’s a porn star who brags about it to everyone he dives with. All I’m saying is, this isn’t just a regular guy banging while diving-- it’s the rare man who is a sky diving instructor/porn star. Also: people take private jets. There’s a lot more room on those things to have sex, I imagine (not that I’m cool enough to ever ride one, but some even have bedrooms). ---

Not personally, no. Back in college I got to skydive out of the hot air balloon owned by a local pizza company (it was a huge “Flying Tomato”). On the way up my buddy and I were talking to the pilot who said that he had taken his girlfriend up and they had Enjoyed The Gondola. At the World Freefall Convention one year, a couple was there who made movies of themselves having sex in public. They did it on a couple of the jumpships, including the 727 cargo jet - one of my friends was seated right by them, as they got onboard they told people to leave them a little extra space and they went at it on the way up. Lest you think this is a romantic setting, it’s not - a 727 set up for cargo is a bare metal tube, no seats or anything, everyone sits on the floor (they had seatbelts). It was also Illinois during the summer (so hot and humid as hell) and that plane was filled to capacity - 160 skydivers crammed into lines on the floor. ---

No, but I’ve always wanted to. Although as weird as it sounds I’ve wanted to join it but not by having sex, I wanna just have some under the blanket fun and that’s all. Sex seems too hard to coordinate on it when a handy and a…whatever a female handy is called…will do. ---

Almost, I once got an HJ under the blanket on a westbound trans-Atlantic flight. It was a pretty freaking huge deal for me at the time (I must have been about 16), probably a bigger thrill to me then than actually banging a chick in the bathroom would be now.
