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...

I'm team DH I'm afraid. Sex in a car is only valid if it's out and about somewhere. Spontaneous and a bit risky. Not words I'd associate with a car parked in your own garage. Unless you park
It in someone else's garage then it might count at a push Grin

If it’s in the car, it’s car sex.

HollowTalk · 11/12/2021 21:26

There's an element of illicitness about sex in the car. Either you are young and don't have your own home to go to or you're both playing around. You and your husband going out to have sex in the garage is a completely different thing!

Regardless of location needs to be done on the bonnet in my book.

Chocolatewheatos · 11/12/2021 21:33

DH and I agree that garage sex would just be uncomfortable and pointless. Car sex is parked in a public space.

GotToGoBye · 11/12/2021 21:35

I think that’s just garage sex, car sex is by a field

Fluffycloudland77 · 11/12/2021 21:36

I agree with your dh on this.

@gogohm

I'm with your dp, just like alfresco sex doesn't count in a secluded back garden Grin
Depends how big your garden is and who could see you. My garden is small and my neighbours would see, but I've had a huge garden and only passengers on a train might have seen. If they were looking.
Shehasadiamondinthesky · 11/12/2021 21:39

Nope that's garage sex. You need to be out in the countryside.

PickledCherry · 11/12/2021 21:48

I’ve had car in garage sex as a compromise!! In the car and over the bonnet. Could be seen if anyone cared to look. Dh hasn’t ticked it off his list though, said it doesn’t count.

hotfroth · 11/12/2021 21:48

How is the mechanic ever going to get the wheel changed with you two jigging about?

Iveputmyselfonthenaughtystep · 11/12/2021 21:50

Dp says it depends whose garage....

For instance, the Shell garage would definitely count and kudos for the exhibitionism Grin

MountainAshley · 11/12/2021 21:50

The only way it counts is if you are having a garage sale at the same time.

expatmigrant · 11/12/2021 21:50

Car sex for me is up a dark lane in the middle of nowhere...remember it well.
In a garage...just no!

lightisnotwhite · 11/12/2021 21:52

Nah. It’s like saying “outdoor sex” when you mean the garden.

A car in garage is essentially the same as sex in a cupboard. If you are playing for points.

chaosrabbitland · 11/12/2021 21:54

i would really only count it if you were actually out in a car somewhere .a couple going out to shag in the car parked in their garage just sounds daft , so i have to agree with your husband

TheCanyon · 11/12/2021 21:55

Put the door up and yer fine @Xuli

Can't say I've ever fancied a shag in the garage right enough

Buzz45 · 11/12/2021 21:56

Try elsewhere in car as well as garage to compare

Cocomarine · 11/12/2021 21:57

I’m totally with your husband.
Car sex is about it being the only option* - not about choosing to have a gear stick in your arse when there’s a perfectly good bed upstairs.
I think you need the view from the window to not be a fully enclosed brick box, for it to count!

*i suppose you could shag on the bonnet too, but you know what I mean!

@Santahatesbraisedcabbage

Depends if the garage is a petrol station!!

I think it only counts if you're teenagers and trying not to get caught by your parents. Grin

Yep, this.

Has anyone ever done this, i.e. had sex in their car in their own garage? I doubt it but someone may surprise me..

Hadn't seen this post @PickledCherry - does your garage have massive windows or a sunroof then? Grin
Santahatesbraisedcabbage · 11/12/2021 22:08

Anyway I hear sex against a tree is a good thrilling experience..
Heard it from a friend..
