Sex in public big in summer

EDMONTON -- The summer heat seems to be having an intoxicating effect on us.
In parks, parked cars and back alleys, on public beaches, golf courses and wooded glens, it's hormonal cocktail hour -- and it appears everyone but the faint-of-heart has raised a glass at some point.
After all, why "do the deed" in your bed, of all places, when the great outdoors can be your love nest?
"While camping with family recently, my woman and I had to sneak off to woods to make fire," says my friend Tyler, in caveman speak.
Not even the danger of bears and swarming mosquitoes could muffle the call of the wild.
"Even if you don't have to hide out, there's something really primal about having your skin pressed up against tree bark, your pants down at your ankles and your mate's animal-like moaning in your ear, as you quell raging libidos," he says, sounding more like a hot-and-bothered beat poet.
Can someone please crank up the AC? It's getting a little hot in here.
Some people copulate where they might get caught -- or mistaken for lunch -- out of sheer necessity.
Some, apparently, do it out of pure exhibitionism, like the couple I talked to recently who had christened church pews, putted for par, gotten busy under the boardwalk, turned feverish in a hospital room, and joined the "mile-high club."
"It's an adrenalin rush to have sex in a place where you might get caught," says Stacy, a 45-year-old esthetician, who's been married for eight years.
"It also helps to spice things up and keep your sex life interesting. When summer only lasts a short while, why not make the most out of it?" she muses.
I never really got the whole sex-on-an-airplane thing, except maybe as a first-class, hot-flight-attendant fantasy. I mean, have you seen how small those bathroom stalls are? How can a girl go for the big“O” with a soap dispenser jammed into her rib cage?
Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast, a frequent flyer or an urban hobo, it seems people will answer the call of nature wherever, whenever.
Ask law enforcers, and they've got yet a different take on the whole sex-in-public issue.
They see a stark reality, often overlooked, where desire and destitution meet like bandits in the shadows, stealing a simple moment of human pleasure before the eyes of scrutiny encroach on them.
"It's a common occurrence, at least once a day we get a complaint or happen upon a parked car in a neighbourhood with two people going at it," says Constable Greg Lewis, a member of the Edmonton Police Service.
"But it's more likely a john that's picked up a prostitute, or homeless people who have nowhere else to go. No doubt normal people are doing it, too."
They've found people buck naked, passed-out on each other in mid-thrust, he says, and more often than not alcohol is involved.
"Most people do it drunk, and nine times out of ten we give them a drunk-in-public ticket. That's usually the provincial way to deal with it," says Lewis.
The Criminal Code of Canada states it's illegal to have sex in a "public place," which is defined as "any place to which the public has access as a right or by invitation."
If you were to receive a summary conviction in federal court, you could face a fine of no more than $2,000, imprisonment for six months, or both.
But it usually doesn't come to that, says Lewis.
Not that one wants to advocate public indecency, or risk arrest and/or public humiliation, but if we're in a situation where we might get caught, it can really spice things up, says Vancouver sex expert Marelize Swart.
"Why not drive somewhere and park -- it could even be as close as your garage after a night out. Head for the great outdoors, or find a secluded spot on the beach," she suggests.
So why do we cast scruples to the dogs, the law or public scrutiny for the thrill of sex in public?
"Sometimes people get tired of the same old sex routine," says Brian Parker, a sex expert for ForeverPleasure.com.
"Since the brain is the biggest sex organ, trying something with a bit of risk can increase an individual's endorphin levels, which could lead to a more explosive orgasm."
While the Canada Day fireworks may be over, nothing, it seems, is going to stop us from lighting up these summer skies with a little outdoor lovin'.
So why not keep some bug spray and a blanket handy for when the mood strikes? And remember: keep your eyes wide open.
