I Love Road Trips
Having been married for over 40 years, Mary and I have made quite a few road trips. Some were trips before our two sons arrived, some with them, and some after they’d “left the nest.”
All our trips were memorable for a variety of reasons: the need for travel, the destination, and events that happened during the trip. Each made every trip a unique adventure. The one thing on our trips that I’m writing about today is the sexual adventures we’ve shared during them. For whatever reason, traveling seems to kick up our libidos to a higher level. This leads to imaginative, sometimes challenging, romantic liaisons.
When traveling with just my wife, it was fun engaging in sexual activities outside the familiar. A different place, new surroundings, varied accommodations, sometimes camping outdoors in a tent— a change of venue added to the excitement and enhanced our sexual unions. Sharing new things seems to heighten the excitement of our physical love acts.
When making travel reservations, I’d often choose motels that had a Jacuzzi or hot tub, very relaxing after a day in the car and even more so if we were traveling on a motorcycle. Yes, we made many trips together on a motorcycle in our past.
Hot tub togetherness as a prelude to sexual activity is great as it provided relaxation for tired, tense muscles. Having an in-room Jacuzzi was preferable, enabling unrestricted foreplay in the tub without making a public display. We have fond memories of playing (more accurately fore-playing) in a hot tub before memorable physical intimacies.
When traveling with our sons, they would sleep in the same room when in a motel. So we’d have to engage in what I call “sneaky sex;” that is, getting busy while remaining as quiet as possible. Despite this limitation, it was always fun, though challenging. Camping in a tent was even more of a challenge. But where there’s a will, there’s a way. You just need to have well thought out plans.
As I’ve always worked evening or midnight shifts, I am used to staying awake late at night, sometimes all night. When making road trips, we’d often leave in the evening, after 9 p.m., when traffic was much lighter. I’d drive all night, covering as much distance as possible. I also tried to pass through large cities on our route in the early morning hours. Mary would either nap or talk to me, helping keep me alert.
On this trip, as I recall, we were on our way home from a vacation. It was nighttime, and we were driving on a highway between cities, somewhere in the desert. Not much to see in the desert at night besides the blacktop in front of you, illuminated by your headlights.
Mary lay her head in my lap. I thought she was tired, but she began rubbing my member through my pants. It didn’t take long for me to stiffen, getting rock hard. She pulled my zipper down and started giving my hardened member some oral attention. It certainly raised my level of alertness! It was nice that we were essentially alone on the road in the middle of the night. No one could observe our activity.
It was also a relatively safe place for it to happen. There wasn’t anything for me to run into in the desert except sand. I enjoyed this heated distraction and remained on the road, in control, for the duration of the act. Thank God for cruise control and a wife with a healthy sexual appetite. I’m truly Blessed.
Hubbie here: oldtimer, thanks for this post. I couldn’t agree more that “… A different place, new surroundings, varied accommodations … a change of venue”, can give some pretty hot passion, when you “get around the barriers!” Any “barrier” can either stop you, or stimulate you. The choice is yours.
Queen and I are involved in “building” a marriage retreat around “intentionality vs complacency”, and now I see this dichotomy in everything, including passion. If you respond to “road trip barriers” with complacency, your passion is probably low and “meh”. Kicking the barriers down intentionally can yield pretty hot passion!
Again, thanks for the post, and please keep writing!
Thanks for the kind words, Hubbie. I have written another story, scheduled to post January 10, 2024
It's the longest, most detailed, story I've written so far. Though I did mention some parts of it in a response that I posted on another writer's story.
Nice oldtimer! I’m glad you and your wife always enjoyed a change in venue 😉
Thanks, Kingdom Man. I hope to be able to share some new adventures as I'm blessed to experience them.
Great and relatable story! Travel sex has often been great for Melody n I. In fact we are on vacation in the tropics and we raised the temperature even more by how hot our sex has been!
Like you said, there is something special about getting into new environments. At a marriage seminar years ago a presenter insisted that every married couple needs to get away monthly – even for a night in a nearby hotel.
Thanks, LovingMan. I have also read of the importance of being able to spend quality time alone with your mate, as it is essential to a healthy relationship. Unfortunately, life sets up challenges to the ideal. I did, as I feel we all try to do, the best I can with the opportunities that are possible. Having young children is an issue, taking care of aging parents with health issues is another.When you combine these, along with having to support a family with work away from home, things can get complicated, arranging quality time alone with your spouse. My experiences have made me more aware of the challenges that all couples face, and created a desire to offer assistance to them when possible.
Thanks for the post Oldtimer. I agree a change of scenery can be great. My wife and I are also empty nesters and remember the challenges of being intimate on family vacations. Sometimes it was more fun trying to come up with creative ways to take care of business than the act itself!
Perhaps I need to rethink the start time of the next road trip my wife and I take though 😜
Thanks, Dr. ForePlay, I have to admit in the past year, I've noticed that driving at night, which has been my preferred time to drive, has become less enjoyable. Having to admit my eyesight isn't as sharp as it's been most my life..took me years to realize what a blessing I was given with my great vision .
I was one of only 2 or 3 students in my college graduation class (of 60 + students) that didn't wear corrective glasses. Didn't need "readers" until in my 60's and still able to see w/o glasses for most things, but the sharpness of my vision has decreased ,& oncoming headlights tend to blind me, or bother me to a greater extent than in the past.. Since my wife now dislikes driving at night, I still manage.
Nice story and even more blessed after 40 years!!! You have a very caring wife.
Thanks, 3bbadbob. You're right, I am truly blessed with the mate God provided for me.
Road trips are our absolute favorite. We enjoy the leisure nature of such trips. Audio books, early morning devotional time, coffee breaks, casual conversation, spontaneous side trips, plus finding new, out of the way places to eat are so enjoyable. In our younger years, we enjoyed that free feeling of heightened sexual intimacy. A few times, on the road, we’d carefully enjoy some sexcapades. A cupped hand on a bare breast. Sneaky passenger masturbation. As we’ve aged, we wait for hotel sex – always a fun destination along the journey!
Thanks,SilverGold. It is a sad reality that after a good number of years our bodies aren't as forgiving ( or flexible ) as they used to be. While I do wish we'd had the wisdom of our improved sexual techniques earlier in our lives, I'm happy to have discovered them while we have some time to enjoy our newly acquired "skills" As mentioned before. hotel sex esp. in a jacuzzi- equipped room, is hard to beat..
