I ask because I find making love on the beach to be a real turn-on. There is something about the sea that treally makes it special. Last time, my GF and I decided to do it in the water…we waded out to water about 5 ft. deep, then strippedoff, and made love…it was great!. We’ve also doe it behind sand dunes, under towels, etc. Have you ever indulged at the beach? Any bad reports? ---

ick - too much sand at the beach. ---

Being “uncut” I find that sand gets into very uncomfortable places - and the girlfriend agrees. However, having said that, it’s great 🙂 ---

Water good, sand bad! That’s all that I’m saying. ---

Yes. Sand dune = sand **everywhere** Also in water…was **wonderful** 😉 ---

I’ve made s’mores on the beach, does that count? ---

Yes, I have both in the water and on the sand. The water was ok but the ocean was very sandy too and caused more friction than was necessary. The sand was much worse. It was very erotic but the hotel room was much better. ---

Yeah, did it once down in Florida near where that kid got attacked by the shark a few years ago. Glad I didn’t know about that at the time since we did it in the water. ---

Not really. Kinda, though. You judge. Years ago I was dating a girl who was minoring in theater at a local university. The theater director loved her to death (not literally; this aint a story about necrophilia, folks), so ended up giving my girlfriend the keys to the main theater. Now, this gal knew that I had always wanted to explore my cliche side by doing the nasty naughty on a beach. Except, in the middle of the MidWest, where could we get a warm beach? On stage, it turns out. That season’s major play was _To Gillian on Her 37th Birthday_–which necessitated the purchase and placing of over a ton of sand. Right on the stage. So, she brought me in on a Sunday, shared a picnic lunch with me, and then, well… Yeah. 🙂 ---

We did it at the shoreline once and I didn’t like pulling sand out of cracks I didn’t know I had. Then there was water in the mouth as the waves crashed in. Nope just not for me! ---

Did it when I was teenager with no place else to go. A few fond memories but mostly just sand where we didn’t want sand, so I never did it after that. ---

Yup. I had more hormones than brains, and didn’t look around much at anything but her. I got poison ivy. :smack: ---

Yeah, in the water. It was nice, but water in general is troublesome in terms of lubrication issues, so we haven’t done it again. ---

Sand in places I didn’t know I had. Sand in places she indubitably knew she had, but probably never wanted sand in. Sand _everywhere_. Not that we let that stop us, of course, but we made a point of bringing something to put between us and the sand next time–a lesson that served us well when we expanded our repertoire to include a desert as well. ---

Yeah. Picturesque cove, Northern Greece. Hard to perform - balance issues + she was short, and drowning. Lost my bathing suit in the water. She did too. 15 co-workers sleeping on the beach. Ran naked to get a sheet. Got laughed at the next day. Dated girl for three years. She turned into a psycho hosebeast. ---

I’ve made out on a beach, if that counds. There was too much sand even for that. I couldn’t possibly imagine being naked on a beach. Sand everywhere. I honestly think that I would rather not have sex. ---

Sand everywhere. I honestly think that I would rather not have sex. \*\* Yeah, too much sand, and let’s not forget the bugs, if it’s in the day time. Near microscopic fuckers. (And if you think using a blanket would rectify the whole sand issue as long as you’re high up, not necessarily, unless you’re on particularly level ground. We tried that once and wound up progressively sliding down the side of a dune. Very distracting). [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ever-made-love-on-the-beach/192333.md?page=2)
