Living in Denver doesn’t count, you know what I’m talking about. ---

I **hate** flying, so I’m fucked _every time_ I get on an airplane. And I lived over a mile up, but not Denver, so I say, _“Yes!”._ ---

Yes. I actually have a “code” in my logbooks to note the few times I got lucky while aloft. Looking back through them, is seems my favorite plane for this activity is the Beech Bonanza. The Bonanza’s [throw-over yoke](http://d3d71ba2asa5oz.cloudfront.net/82056311/images/5091-5086-5087-5141p.jpg) frees up a bit more cockpit space. 🆒 ---

One of my habits involves eating a brownie immediately before going through security, then chugging a coupla bloodies (if the bars are open). Never fucked in the air (too much work/risk) though. ---

Does wanking count? EDIT: I now see I’m not the first to ask. I pray this does not fall under the category of “mutual masturbation.” ---

No. Commercial Flights are too crowded, and the bathrooms are too disgusting and cramped. I’ll wait until we land and get to our hotel. ---

Nope. In all the years that I traveled, the closest it came was when I was traveling in my Navy uniform and fell asleep while the plane was still at the gate. I woke up when the plane lifted off and the woman next to me was staring at my crotch, where things had awoken during my slumber. She got very chummy and wanted me to get off the plane in San Diego with her, but I was stopping in LA to see my girl friend. Missed opportunity. ---

No to planes, trains and automobiles. I came close to joining the 60 ton club as my sole vehicular sexual experience. Sadly I couldn’t quite synchronize the timing on the tank access and the extremely interested partner.
