With warmer weather upon us, many-a-couple are overcome by two innate urges:

•    To be outside; and
•    To get their freak on.

That’s fair. And, if you ask us, totally acceptable. But, before you heed your call to the wild, consider the following:

Dress accordingly.

Sex in the open is illegal. But, seeing as the whole idea of getting caught is part of its appeal, this is only a minor concern. Be clever about it, and wear clothes that do not require much P.T. That is, a floaty skirt or slip dress and NO underwear.

Have a code.
If you know what the penalties are for public indecency (in whatever country/city or town you’re in), then I’m sure you’ll want to be at least a teensy bit cautious. Be clever about it, and pay attention to your surroundings. If danger looms, then have a secret sign, symbol or language that alerts you both.

Tip: Prepare a realistic story/excuse in case you DO have a run-in... 

Forego foreplay.
Unless you’re in a secluded spot, there usually isn’t time for any of the usual kafoefelry. Be clever about it, and use lube instead.

Pack in a blanket.
Believe it: an itchy rash, bruised knees and/or ‘carpet’ burns can be wicked. Be clever about it, and bring something – preferably old – to throw over dirt patches, sand, stone or prickly grass.

Condomise.
It doesn’t matter that you’re on the pill or that you’re in a committed relationship. Even if you don’t usually wear one, being outside means you can forget about clean, running water. Be clever about it, and use a condom. It will keep things tidier. And it’s hygienic too!
