I either stay at a hotel/lodge/whatever with my own private space, or with contacts I know/visit. "The best position is for the guy to sit on the toilet while the girl sits in his lap" Eeeew, I don't do public toilets! However, one of my most memorable escapades was a visit to Cuba in about 10 years ago. At my hotel, there was a Russian-Jewish mother (thankfully she couldn't speak english!) and daughter who were traveling together. The daughter was hot -- very classy, stylish. She was always with her stodgy mother. At the dinner buffet, I was able to quickly make my move while mother was at the table. I sweet talk the heck out of her and convinced her that she needed to get away from mommy a bit. She said it was difficult. I told her my room # and said to drop by "any time." An hour later after dinner while everyone's watching the Cuban entertainment by the pool side, she sneaks up to me and whispers "Bee inz zur zroom at znine pm" and she quickly went back to mother's side. To make a deliciously long story short, she dropped by, we had a remarkable time and we even kept seeing each other -- secretly -- on our return to Toronto. After her English lessons, she'd detour to my place to practise other stuff. :-) I’ve never stayed at a hostel while traveling.

Damn. If not, there are plenty of locals that do. Oh look, if you hook up with a local they probably have a better option than a hostel. Damn.

That's just asking for any of a dozen diseases, parasites, and viruses particularly for the fairer sex. Pools suck too. Water is a godawful lubricant. Of course that's what the logical side of a person says, but there's no fun if there's no risk. I've had quite a few "adventures" on my tavels. -In a stairwell in one of the female dorms at Brigham Young U: Hawaii. I'm going to hell for that one. -On top of the Brain and Cognitive Science building at MIT -Spelunking with a bunch of friends me and my girl crawled behind a waterfall for some personal time during the lunch break. The rocks were hard and slippery and the water was deafening and everywhere. We both got sick, and caught, but it was worth it -Every room of an 11 meter long boat. It was a long trip. -On a train traveling through Germany Sex is always better when you're not supposed to be doing it. Never had sex in a hostel though. I've always preferred to pay 15-20USD for a hotel room with a door that locks. Bathrooms and beaches aren’t the best of places.

The reason I say this is when I was 22 I was backpacking in Europe and was on a sex romp for about 3 weeks and many instances was without protection and I ended up catching an STI which wasn't a pleasant experience at all. Seriously how many of you all used protection and how many actually care? I hope all these stories the people were using condoms.

It's a feature of backpacking that never seems to get touched upon but is certainly rarely discussed. You claim that dorm sex is flamboyant exhibitionist, You may be right, however I often tell my friends who go backpacking you have not been traveling until you wake up to find someone having sex in your room. I found it to happen quite frequently, most of the time in Australia where you find most backpackers are there for a year of beer drinking and a extended 18-30 holiday and not the travel expierence that most people get elsewhere. I even did it a few times myself and enjoyed the challenge of satisfying someone despite the obvious limitations. More often or not I did not get caught. I do recall one time in a hostel in Syndey a couple in my dorm started going at it in broad daylight. My favorite backpacking sex story is of me and a German girl who i had met for five minutes having amazing on the most beautiful beach in Australia in Lucky Bay, Esperance on the west Coast. We remained in contact afterwords which was handly since we both caught pneumonia from the expierence and had a lot of time on our hands recovering to email each other. We met up again in Melbourne and repeated the extremely hot sex in warmer safer conditions. Good article.
