Having sex in your car is an iconic fixture of American life. In your youth, there’s particular appeal about having the back seat of your car available for a furtive rendezvous, particularly when you’re not living on your own. Sex in a car has been enshrined in our popular culture, from music to film, and the thrill of danger ensures that sex in the car retains its appeal throughout our lifetimes. With that in mind, here are some positions to help you get the most mileage out of your car sex adventures.

Variants on the missionary position are fairly easy to pull off in cars. In the back seat it’s going to be cramped, but if you both tuck your knees, it’s still doable. An easier means of getting it on missionary style is doing it in the front seat. Just slide the passenger seat back as far as you can, lean it back to a comfortable angle, and you’ve got a decent amount of room for missionary-style car sex thrills.

There’s plenty of opportunity for women to get on top and drive with car sex positions. The cowgirl and reverse cowgirl positions work well in both front and back seats, though be aware that you’re more visible with this action going on. At any rate, all the man has to do is get into a reclining position that gives her room to straddle him. Depending on where the shift controls are, this can be a tricky front seat maneuver, but with a little experimentation, it’s perfectly doable.

Car sex is eminently enjoyable by sensual adventurers of all ages and it’s fashionable whether you’re driving a Jaguar or a $2,000 beater. The romance of the car coupled with the romance of that special someone make an irresistible combination, so don’t try to fight it. If you haven’t had sex in a car for a while, or, heaven forefend, you’ve never tried car sex, give one of these positions a whirl. Your engine will be fired up in no time.
