Mile-high club 101: everything you always wanted to know about

Aplane Traveling isn’t sexy, is it? I mean, you get dehydrated, your skin gets dry, there’s little to no leg room, and it tends to smell a little chemicals and fear (after all, some people fear for their lives on airplanes). Not to mention you’re probably just a Covid breath away from strangers and young children (sorry, but not sorry about that one).

However, many thrill seekers find Airplane sex (or the idea of ​​airplane sex) is seriously hot. A common explanation for wanting to join the proverbial “mile-high club” is that aircraft vibrations coupled with lower oxygen levels can actually increase arousal and intensify orgasms. Meanwhile, others have fantasies about pilots or flight attendants, have airplane fetishes, or simply indulge in the adrenaline rush inherent in taboo acts, especially those where getting caught is a real possibility.

But although there is East undeniable risk involved, playing the bad guy in flight is a must (arguably) for anyone excited by sex in public.

A kilometer high what?

The mile-high club is basically a slang term used to refer to people who have had sex on board an airplane while in flight, at an altitude of at least 5,280 feet (one mile above the ground). Fun fact: The mile-high club (MHC) has his own website where special MHC stickers, keychains and personalized certificates are sold, and of course, anyone who has had sex on a plane can submit their story to be shared with other like-minded perverts. The site also has a rather entertaining page detailing MHC’s “rules and regulations”, which uses commercial-style contractual language to address concerns such as the environmental and economic impacts of sex on an airplane.

Do people really do this?

Personally, even though I identify as a pervert mother—I find airplane toilets disgusting and incredibly small. But to each his own, you say?

According to a 2011 Skyscanner survey, 95% of people to want to join the mile-high club, but really about 20% have actually tried it. That’s understandable, it’s easier said than done, y’all. But 20 percent, if you think about it, is actually a lot from the bump in the toilet in flight.

According to good old WikipediaOne of the earliest references to the notion of sex in flight, found only two years after the first successful ascent of a hot balloon, is in a 1785 betting book for Brooks, a London gentlemen’s club: “Ld. Cholmondeley gave two guineas to Ld. Derby, to receive 500 Gs. whenever his Lordship [has sex with] a woman in a balloon a thousand yards above the Earth.” Fast forward to 1916, and a pilot named Lawrence Sperry, along with socialite Dorothy Rice Sims, are known as the first duo to have sex flying in a plane—a Curtiss seaplane equipped with an autopilot near New York.

But that’s all ancient history, right? Hmm, maybe not. I mean, there’s the British billionaire and founder of the Virgin Group Richard Bransonwho claimsto have joined the mile-high club at 19circa 1969. Why does airplane sex seem like so much more fun in 1969? And then there’s this infamous couple, who in 2006 were arrested in part for refusing to stop having sex openly on a flightThe couple’s lawyer, however, claimed the man was in fact ill and was resting his head on his partner’s lap. More recently, a passenger on a Ryanair flight earlier this year claimed to have filmed a couple performing oral sex. from the comfort of their seats. Something to be wary of if you go in that direction, dare I say. bold route: this might end up online, man.

Is it legal?

As with most things worthwhile (or seemingly worthwhile) in life, there’s always an element of risk. Hell, that’s what got you interested in the first place, right?

According to criminal lawyer Joseph Tully“The Mile High Club may be exclusive and tempting, but be aware that while no state law applies if no one sees you, there are certainly a number of federal agencies that will consider such behavior prosecutable. Since 9/11, it’s best not to exceed the limits of airplanes or risk the unbridled wrath of Homeland Security, an agency not known for its leniency.“I don’t want to be too shy or funny. Destination sex might be a better option to stay off the no-fly list.”

According to a flight attendant who has caught several couples in the bathroom over the years, “Most of the time, if we see something going on and it doesn’t affect anyone, we just let it happen ― and then congratulate the couple afterward. I’m kidding. Honestly, I don’t think we have anything that specifically addresses this in our manuals. Fornication is frowned upon in the air if the seat belt sign is on, but ultimately, it’s a good thingat the discretion of the crew on board as to how to deal with the situation.”

Ultimately, the legality of sexual expression on an airplane largely depends on the details (and whether or not someone feels it’s worth complaining about). It turns out that there are a lot of gray areas when it comes to airplane sex. However, in the unfortunate event that you do get caught, the sex should be worth it, is all I have to say.

Is it on?

When I think about safety here, my first thought is hygiene. Maybe it’s because I’m prone to vaginal infections. I mean, I totally get that dirty, sweaty sex can turn me on. But if you’re doing it on a plane, you’re basically doing it in a portable in-flight toilet, just FYI. Even though the toilets seems This is not clean. Think of all the people who miss their target when the plane hits sudden turbulence!

But security is not just about infection,We all know this. So here’s something: The US transportation authority NTSB reported a case in which sexual activity is at least partly responsible for a plane crash. Translation: the chances are not It’s so good that airplane sex will cause a crash, so it’s true. But apparently, anything is possible!

Beyond the risks and the repulsion, this brings us to the most important aspect of joining the multi-kilometer climb club: how to do it well and succeed! Consider the following tips before you take the plunge!

Understanding the risks

Since we’ve established that membership in the club isn’t entirely legal, worst-case scenarios include charges of indecent exposure or potentially interfering with the crew, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years (highly unlikely, but possible). But hey, understanding the risks will likely require you to exercise a great deal of caution and common sense.

Plan it, dammit

Proper planning will go a long way towards a positive outcome, not to mention the excitement of anticipation. Plus, you won’t run the risk of other passengers overhearing you discussing whether or not to do it. Not the most discreet look!

The timing, the timing, the timing

Determine your toilet target (personally, I recommend not (do it for you, even if the row is empty). The lavatory of your choice should be at the back of the plane, so that other passengers are not facing the direction you are going. One partner can go first, followed by the other a few minutes later. PPartner #2 should use a secret move, you know, to avoid awkward encounters with strangers, that sort of thing.

The logistics of the dress

For easy and efficient access, consider dressing in work attire and wearing a skirt, dress, kilt or sarong. Or, in colder weather, sweatpants. You don’t have time to deal with buttons, zippers and belts, and you’ll want as few obstacles as possible in case your ride gets, you know, bumpy.

Consider your position

Unless you’re a brilliant sexual nonconformist and have done this many times before, there are really only two positions you can choose from: one is for one partner to sit on the toilet seat while the other does it in reverse cowgirl. The other, slightly more hygienic option is for one partner to lean on the sink facing the other. Once you’re in position, don’t waste any time: this is probably the hottest (and most hilarious) quickie you’ll ever have. Whatever you do, never lean against the door, even if it’s locked: the last thing you want is to rush in with your dick hanging out.

Have silent sex

It can be surprisingly arousing to orgasm with your partner’s hand over your mouth or your underwear stuck in your mouth. Whatever you do, avoid moaning or screaming loudly if you don’t want to be heard by the people waiting in line outside the door. Yes, you can be heard, even above the drone of the plane.

Have a plan if things go wrong

If something goes wrong and you get caught or almost caught, take the air bag with you so you can pretend to be the comforting partner checking in on your nauseous significant other. After all, what better reason is there for two people to be crammed into such a tight space?

In short: the Summit Club is just waiting for your naughty application to become a member! But, as with most risky activities, it always helps to be sober, aware of your surroundings and generally on point. I have faith in you, you dashing pilot. So spread your wings and… take… flight. <3
