Travel is all about exploring new places, cultures, and experiences. It can also be about exploring more about your own and your partners desires, kinks and how they like to get down. As more and more travel locations open up, from Goa to Maldives, all you lovebirds can start looking up for those romantic getaways. After spending a year in close quarters with families and making the best with stolen kisses, all that pent up energy is looking for an escape.
While it is always fun to explore one’s sexuality, having sex while traveling, especially abroad, isn’t the same. If a random stranger at the bar attracts your attention or the "Simran" in you finds her "Raj", break the stigma around pre-marital sex and "ja jeele apni zindagi".
Sometimes you would have to navigate new unspoken rules, languages, or even legalities (ahem ahem). Although the Indian culture has drastically changed and the younglings no longer wait to have sanskari sex, many still prefer taking a trip to explore their own and their partner's sexuality.
There's no doubt that whether it’s a new adventure or with an existing partner, travel sex is always exciting. Here is how you can have safe and raunchy sex on your travels
Keep Calm and Carry Condoms
Condoms should be mandatory for your outdoorsy sexual adventures or even with a known partner. Safe sex during travel should be your top priority. Many countries do not have 24*7 pharmacies or the same easy access to condoms. Both men and women should carry their packs to be prepared for that crazy romantic getaway! If you don’t end up using them, you could pass them on to someone in need and be the “hero”
In case you forget your pack at home, here’s how you can navigate the international pharmacies like a local by learning the word “condom” in different languages
· Spanish: el condón, el profiláctico, el preservador
· Japanese: Kondomu
· Portuguese: a preservativo, o camisinha, o profilático
· German: Kondom, das Präservativ, der Präser
· French: le préservatif, la capote
Lube It Before You Use It
While Lube isn’t a necessary item, it is always a bonus. Sex can be painful for your partner even after a wild session of foreplay. Why stop the fun when you can carry the lube with you? Just make sure to follow the liquid is under the 100 ml rule for your air voyage and keep the tub at home. A travel-friendly-sized bottle can be found in the local drugstore.
Emergency "Plan B" contraceptives
Condoms break, unfortunate events happen, or the drunk you can even forget to use one in the first place. Worry not ladies, but be prepared!
If your partner and you are not planning on becoming parents anytime soon, emergency contraceptive pills should be in your bag. So, when you do have that fun night out, wake up with a hangover, and with God knows who, you’ll have one less thing to worry about! Be proud!
Secrets are Locked Inside
What better way to start fire in the room than a pair of sexy thongs? This is something that will never go wrong and drive your partner crazy. Add some dance moves to it and you have them wrapped around your fingers.
Naughty Toys for Naughty Travellers

Tips for Packing them Toys
You have your toys ready and set for travel, here is what you need to keep in mind
- Yes, you can pack them in your carry-ons but anything larger than 7 inches is grey area, so best to keep them at home or check them in.
- Remove those batteries before your travel. Nobody wants their toy to accidentally go off in the middle of a flight
- Put them in a clear plastic bag. In case you get stopped for inspection, it will avoid them being touched by multiple hands.
- Sex toys are not legal in all the countries and can be used as proof of sex worker. Here is the list:
-Vietnam
-Thailand
-Saudi Arabia
-UAE
-Malaysia
-The Maldives
-India (In India there is no legal law against the use of sex toys but Section 292 of the Indian Penal Code prevents the sale of any material or product that is ‘obscene’ in nature in India. So, anything in clear shape can be considered obscene. One can sell them in the online stores but not in the streets
Start at the Beginning
One of the best proposals ever was when Monica proposed to Chandler in a room full of candles! I know, I know, it's impossible to carry gazillion candles with you but you can always have a couple of scented candles packed in your suitcases to get in mood. Who doesn't like it when your room smells of "a summer's night".
Roll the Dice
Don't know where to start with your partner? Board games are easily the best way to break the ice. Technology has evolved to help humanity and Ludo isn't the only game that is available on play store. Here is list curated by the great people of internet for your ease. Get downloading people.
Toiletries Are Not Limited to Shampoos and Conditioners.
If I had to listen to one advice by Charles Boyle, it would be "Shampooing your partners hair is the most erotic thing" LOL.
Enjoy your solitude by massaging your partner (only if you are good at it! haha) or just by relaxing in the bath tubs. Make sure to give the bath its most important ingredient: bath salts.
Don't Forget to Pack Etiquettes
1) Consent
The most important thing to have from your partner is consent. It's more than a "yes or no" and your partner has the right to change their mid any time throughout your interaction.
A drunk, incoherent person isn't always giving out mutual, informed consent. Rules of consent can be difficult to understand in your own country and language, so they might not get translated in the same way around the world. Always ask and listen.
2) Don't Just be a Taker
One thing we usually forget is that sex is all about mutual pleasure. It is very easy to be the taker and forget about your partner. Keep their pleasure as your top priority.
3) Get a Private Room
This one goes out to the solo travellers who are spending the night in a dormitory. please have mercy on the rest of the exhausted travellers and get a private room for your private activities. Yes, a bathroom is again public ( and so uncomfortable) place, so go spend the extra buck.
P.S one of the easiest pick up line is "I have a private room" (but refer to point 1 again)
4) Trust Your Instincts
Travelling as a couple or solo, you don't have to "have" sex. If you are alone, make sure to inform a friend about that stranger, drink responsibly and know your location.
5) Have Fun
Sex can extra adventurous when swept up in the excitement of being in new place. After you've done the due diligence for safe sex, go crazy you sexual beast!!
