Every time I fly, and every time I use the lavatory in the airplane, I wonder just how in the heck any couple could perform sexually in a space so small. Outside of oral sex on either person and some groping, I just don’t see doing the nasty in the confines of something so small as being anything other than a feat for contortionists. No one I know has ever done it there, but this is not a question to ask someone you just met. " Hi, Mary Smith, are you a member of the Mile High Club. Please to meet you." Anyone out there want to fess up? ---

The only way I could see doing it would be a hand job in the seat. On a red eye flight. With a blanket in my/her lap. I’m not a member yet, though. ☹ There is no WAY I could do anything with someone in those dinky little bathrooms. Besides, every flight I’ve been on there is at least one flight attendant right _there_, in front of the bathroom. * * * You say “cheesy” like that’s a **BAD** thing. ---

It’s possible… been a member for years now 😉 * * * I really try to be good but it just isn’t in my nature! ---

Perhaps 2 people out of a million have actually had intercourse on a commercial airline - far too many people. Most members I’ve met gained their “membership” on a private jet. I joined the club on a small charter flight from Istanbul to Munchen. Sunrise over Asia - darling german fraulein - and complementary gin & tonics. I have a card, secret handshake and everything. * * * Hell is Other People. ---

I was piloting a little Cessna 172, with my (now ex-) girlfriend in the right seat, from Harris Ranch to Reid-Hillview airport in California. We were cruising at 5,500 feet, and so were technically over a Mile High. For some reason, she didn’t want to join the mile high club with me. Something about being afraid I’d lose control of the plane. 🙂 * * * The truth, as always, is more complicated than that. ---

Wait a minute … I just had a thought. Is it the STATUTE Mile High Club, or the NAUTICAL Mile High Club? If you have to be a nautical mile high, that’s 6076.11549 feet; so my altitude of 5500 feet wouldn’t have been enough to qualify even if she _had_ done the horizontal lambada with me. * * * The truth, as always, is more complicated than that. ---

I’ve had sex in the front passenger’s seat of a 1981 Toyota Tercel. If the nasty can be done somewhere that small, it can be done _anywhere_. I’ve never had courage to try it on a plane, though. Not that I wouldn’t, given the right circumstances. ---

Sorry for the resurrection, I’ve been away for a while. My sister is a member: commercial flight with husband. I’m a member of the ‘apartment complex pool in the middle of the afternoon’ club. Does that count for anything? ---
