to say that having sex in a car in the garage counts as "car sex"

Discussion with DH tonight Grin

He says it would only count as car sex if you pulled up in a field or something a la a character from a Jilly Cooper novel.

I say it still counts if it's parked up in the garage.

He's adamant that MN will support him...

Surely that's romantic, bubbles...?

What if you have all the family staying for Christmas and it's the closest thing to privacy in the house, but there's a chance that your Mum will nip into the garage to get some more potatoes?

Xuli · 11/12/2021 20:33

Well that would certainly be living on the edge, kickass.

The point is the risk of getting seen/ caught etc. Some people enjoy that sort of risk( even if pretty certain won't happen).

Other reason is not wanting to because it's fucking uncomfortable but having no where else to go esp when too cold for outside. A classic for teens (where one got car can drive obv) still both living at home. Or was in my day!
It's a necessity rather than done because like either the discomfort or the risk.

In s car in a garage nope.

If you want saucy with car in garage then eg over bumper would qualify I think!

Your DH is 100% right.

Thank you for giving me a new thing to ponder on.

Sex in your own car, in your own closed garage is not "car sex". Its just sex somewhere different in your home.

For it to be "car sex" you need to have an element of risk to it surely? I'd not recommend your own driveway, nor the motorway, but if the mood strikes you on a secluded lane somewhere....

Mogloveseggs · 11/12/2021 20:37

Votes for your Dh here sorry.

LindaBlinda · 11/12/2021 20:37

It's one of those situations where it's sexy if there's the quicky risk to it, but if there's no risk then it's just really uncomfortable sex and you may as well be in your bed a few steps away and enjoy things.

It's the risk that makes otherwise awkward sex enjoyable. For us anyway.

You are more than welcome.

I'm with your DH here. Has to be an element of risk.

cabingirl · 11/12/2021 20:39

I would say technically it's still car sex but just not very good car sex.

Midlifemusings · 11/12/2021 20:40

Depends if by car sex you are talking about two people having sex in a car or one person having sex with a car.

Oh this takes me back to 1989 and shagging Greg in his red XR2 Xmas Grin

StillMedusa · 11/12/2021 20:45

Dh (to my surprise) agrees with you OP.
I'm kinda on the fence (or bonnet!) about it!

YANBU, if you're in a car having sex then you're having car sex. It'd seem to me daft assuming you have a bed, though. But then I'm not one for going in different rooms for the sake of it etc.

JumparooSavedMyLife · 11/12/2021 20:54

It'd be sex in a garage though really wouldn't it 🤔, I wouldn't count it as car sex. Personally if I was parked in the garage I'd just go inside and do it on a comfy bed, I'm old and unadventurous now though 🤣

thelegohooverer · 11/12/2021 20:56

Well the risk of kinking your back is the same but that’s about it.

viques · 11/12/2021 20:57

@bubblesbubbles11

if you are getting it on in your home in bed and talking about your fantasies and he says "car sex" and you say, ok, I will get the garage door zapper and we can nip in, shut the garage door and do the deed then come inside for some cocoa and lights out.... then no, I don't think it counts.....
The house opposite was a HMO so I don’t think there was much privacy, which is why two people who lived there chose to have sex in their car outside my house. Or it might have been because they like the thought of his heaving arse being illuminated by the street lamp.....
llanfairfechan · 11/12/2021 21:13

I agree with you, even though parked in a garage may seem very unromantic. As for Jilly Cooper, after falling out with her in 1992, I have no time for her novels.

godmum56 · 11/12/2021 21:16

Team DH here....I mean why would you bother in your own garage?....unless you have got a greasy mechanic fantasy?

kwiksavenofrillsusername · 11/12/2021 21:16

Well, it’s sex in a car, but it’s not car sex. Car sex has to have a slight element of danger at being caught by a passing motorist, or accidentally getting it on at a popular dogging location.

The thrill of getting caught makes up for the discomfort of having to contort your legs into weird positions.

Seedandyarn · 11/12/2021 21:21

I am with your DH YABU it's only car sex if its off your property.

eddiemairswife · 11/12/2021 21:23

In the garage with the engine running to keep warm might have a very unfortunate outcome.

Tal45 · 11/12/2021 21:23

Ah you're bringing back memories for me, my first time was in a car. No it wasn't in a garage.

Sonex · 11/12/2021 21:23

I'm with your DH, cheating Grin
