Gen-Z'ers prefer to do it in this place rather than the bedroom

That those Gen Z'ers among us are a bit different from the millennials, we already knew. But that they are actually more adventurous? That might surprise you. The generation that doesn't dare to ask for mayonnaise in a restaurant and says nothing when they get the wrong order is more adventurous in bed? Yes, seriously. Where millennials according to the Easytoys Sex Survey prefer to make a hotel room unsafe, Gen Z'ers choose a very different setting: Mother Nature. Why they choose this and how you can do it discreetly, we know.

Among the flowers and the bees

That younger generation has taken sexual education very literally. Those who thought they were thinking outside the box by going to a hotel or using the kitchen table for something other than dinners are very mistaken. It is the youth born between 1997 and 2012 who seek out the thrill the most. An adventure in public is the most popular spot for them.

Whether you suddenly dive into the bushes during a forest walk or stand behind a big tree in your local dog park: the youth among us enjoy it. I can't tell you how many stories I've heard as a Gen Z'er about these experiences. Like that time a friend of mine went for a walk in the woods with her dog and boyfriend. The deserted forest seemed like the ideal place for a quickie, so well... Before long, that dog was tied to a bench, and before you can count to three, they had already taken their pants off. You can't take your time here, but that girl loved it. He was relaxed on the bench, and she jumped right on top of him. The idea that you can be caught at any moment creates an intense thrill that is very exciting. That's exactly why so many people choose these natural spots.

How to have outdoor sex discreetly

Of course, I understand that you don't want Jan and everyone to see you running naked through the woods. If you choose to go out in the open, you probably want to do this discreetly. I get you. There are a few things you can do to ensure that you don't turn this exciting, steamy encounter into a theater show:

1. Keep your outer clothing on

This is actually very logical. You can run away more easily or pretend that you are just lying in the grass sunbathing if you can quickly pull your pants up.

2. Don't choose the path, but a sheltered spot.

If you don't want to be caught, then it's not really smart to choose a bench in the middle of an open space in the woods, like that friend of mine did. It's best to choose a spot where you can hide well or where it wouldn't be too strange if you were found there. Behind the bushes on a blanket, for example. In that split second that you have your clothes back on, it just looks like you are cuddling. Or you choose a big tree behind which you can hide, waiting for that family with a golden retriever to pass by.

3. Bring a blanket or something covering

When you spontaneously dive into the grass, I understand that you don't think about bringing a picnic blanket. But believe me: you will be grateful to yourself. Always bring a blanket, scarf, or a big sweater. This way, you won't have to lie on annoying sticks and you have something to cover yourself with – for emergencies.

4. Avoid sand

No, you are not Anakin Skywalker with a hatred of sand, but still, during these natural outings, it's better to avoid sand. You know how it is when at the end of a beach day you can rinse sand out of every crevice of your body? Think that and then multiply it by ten. Rolling around in the sand doesn't make anyone happy. Those yellow grains are really not lubricant.

5. Scared? Choose something more low-key, but not in the park

Do you find it a bit too exciting to be so pure in nature? Then you can choose a public place that is just a little less public. For example, the toilet of a restaurant or a changing room at the pool. Or get a remote-controlled vibrator egg; you can slide this in before you go out to dinner or sit in the cinema. Your lover can control this with a remote or via the phone. This is public, exciting, and doesn't have the immediate ‘I could get a fine for public nudity at any moment’ level of tension.

Do you want to show your Gen Z girlfriend that you are just as adventurous? Then try this, and you'll have a story to tell. Whether it's exciting or embarrassing is totally up to you.
