Love Rides: The Best Cars to Have Sex In
Sex in a car is something of a rite of passage. And maybe nowhere more so than in America, which has more cars per capita than any other large nation, and where the legal driving age can be as young as 16. From ’70s bench-seat behemoths to flexible-seating SUVs, we take a lighthearted look at the best cars to have sex in for your amorous adventures.
Most Americans will own a car while still living with their parents. This means that many early sexual experiences take place on four wheels. A 2017 survey by driving-tests.org revealed that nearly 85% of Americans have hooked up in an automobile. And 14% of people questioned for a 2016 University of South Dakota study said they lost their virginity in a car.
Best Car to Have Sex In: Size Matters
Historically cheap gas , substantial incomes, and seemingly endless open roads made large cars more viable stateside than in most other countries. A larger car typically means more interior space plus plenty of headroom, which lends itself to amorous automotive adventures.
Minivans, full-size SUVs, and conversion vans , with their voluminous interiors and flexible seating, are natural “passion wagons.” SUVs came out on top for “satisfaction by vehicle type” in driving-tests.org’s “Smooching in Sedans” survey. And there’s a reason why those bumper stickers warn: “If this van’s a rockin’, don’t come a knockin’.”
So we took a look at less obvious “love rides,” and why these vehicles are deceptively well suited to steamy windows on lovers’ lanes.
Land Yachts

The heyday of huge, American-made “land yacht” sedans and wagons was from around 1960 to the late 1970s. These luxurious cruisers were largely killed off by the 1973 and 1979 oil crises, but models like the Chevrolet Caprice, Cadillac Fleetwood, Lincoln Town Car, and Ford Crown Victoria/Mercury Marquis lingered much longer, albeit relatively scaled-down.
Many of us have driven such “boats,” often as hand-me-down first cars. Their sheer roominess, couch-like front seats, and unobtrusive column shifters eliminate even the need to jump in the backseat to get busy. But the backseat is where it’s at in the category’s cavernous wagons , which have cargo areas the size of single beds.
Pickup Trucks

Pickup trucks blur the line between sex in a car and on a car. They can access more secluded spots well suited to intimate encounters and have a typically higher, and thus more private, stance. A truck’s stiffer suspension can also be a bonus when you’re considering the best cars to have sex in.
But the main advantage of a pickup for lovers is the rear bed which, weather permitting, can double as a literal bed. The upside of this is sufficient space for even the most athletic of lovers. The downside is that truck-bed sex is much more public than doing it inside a car. But perhaps the biggest challenge is the rigid steel construction, which no bed liner is going to properly cushion. And showing up for a date with an airbed in the back is just way too presumptuous.
Convertibles

While contemporary convertibles tend to be compact, their retractable tops reduce restrictions for amorous couples making them a great option as one of the best cars to have sex in. Also, with the top down, the trunk lid of a convertible sedan enables interesting interior-exterior/in-on sexual options not viable in any other vehicle type.
Even with the top up, a convertible is sexier than an equivalent hardtop, because repeatedly banging your head on a flexible soft top is far preferable to doing so against unforgiving steel. But be warned that high heels can wreak extensive, expensive havoc on a fabric roof.
Import Tuners

While so-called “import tuners” – modified, typically Japanese import models – tend to be small, they still have shaggin’-wagon potential. This is handy, as their drivers are almost universally young. First-off, quick-release steering wheels can be removed for all-important additional legroom. And interiors gutted for weight savings mean more room for other cravings.
However, all those aftermarket gauges can be hell on naked knees, and non-reclining racing seats seriously impede sexual raciness. And a roll cage, while it might provide useful hand grips, is otherwise a style-cramping turnoff.
Taxi Cabs

Purpose-built taxis like the long-running Checker Taxi and London’s “black cabs,” are tempting to couples due to their enormous rear cabins. Intended to accommodate multiple passengers and bulky luggage, the back of a cab offers sex on wheels with minimum compromise. But unless you have a really understanding driver, are raving exhibitionists, and/or have a sex-in-motion fetish, cab sex is inadvisable.
A viable compromise, if you can find one, is the Checker Marathon. The consumer version of the otherwise very similar Taxi model was produced as a sedan and wagon from 1960 to 1982. Sufficiently roomy and comfortable for extended and adventurous sex, the Marathon lives up to its name for lovers as one of the best cars to have sex in.
Honda Element

Honda’s boxy Element crossover is both compact and decidedly unsexy. Yet its ingeniously designed interior is perfect for passion. With folding seats in the rear that fold truly flat, the Element delivers a convincing, if lumpy, bed. Additionally, its rear-hinged side cargo doors mean no B-pillars to get in the way if you need yet more horizontal freedom. And if things get really wild, the Element’s carpet-free interior can be easily hosed off.
Jeep Wrangler

The Jeep Wrangler checks many of the suitable-for-sex boxes detailed above. Its legendary off-road ability allows access to ultra-private locations so you can take a romantic trip to some of the best places to have car sex. A retractable or removable roof eliminates vertical restrictions. But these storied 4x4s offer lovers yet more. The Wrangler also has removable doors, which opens all sorts of options. And then there are its, ahem, stain-proof rubber floors.
Love Rides: Best Cars to Have Sex In Are Here to Stay
With the majority of young adult Americans now living with their parents, for the first time since the Great Depression (52% as of last July, according to a Pew Research Center analysis ), car sex may be more prevalent than ever. So choose your ride carefully, because if you’re not planning on moving out anytime soon you might find yourself wanting one of the best cars to have sex in.

If THIS article doesn't get a reaction from the NT membership I'll give up posting articles about cars and boats. As well, I'll give up on the normalcy of the NT members.
I would like to post a photo of the car that is the same as the one in which at the age of 16 I had my first sexual experience, in the back seat of my father's 1952 Hudson Hornet. A memory, devoted to Kitty of Gravenhurst, Ontario, whom I never saw nor was in contact with again. Thank you for the lesson, Kitty.
From the outside it looks like it had plenty of room
The back seat served well its special (but originally unintended by the manufacturer's) purpose.
Hmmm Kitty was my wifes first name and she was from Gravenhurst. (j/k)
Well, if it were true I'm sure you would have had a very exciting and enjoyable life. LOL
I had bought a VW Golf for my kids to use. IMO the only way you could "do it" in that car was standing up.
Where there's a will there's a way! The Passenger seat reclines so while not ideal it's good for at least two positions.
LOL. I never knew that. So who knows what evil lurked in the seats of that car?
I was a mother’s worst nightmare in high school. I drove a 77 Dodge Econoline van, with carpeted floors and couch inside that unfolded to a bed. And, oh yeah, it only had a couple small windows in the back, and they had curtains.
A bordello on wheels.
Oh yeah.
Not the first experience, but first one in a car. 54 Ford parked near Lake Merced when I was stationed at Castle AFB when I was young and good looking.
Was waiting by the main gate for a ride into town looking for some fun when this car pulls up and this attractive young lady offers me a ride into town. The start of a very interesting period in my life. Thanks for the memories, Christine.
Same colours as what housed my first experience. That could be a thing...
I connect to the Internet via MSN.com. Sure enough, ads and articles about Fords are showing up there this morning!
Well, although my first car (shared with my big brother) was a 1950 Ford Custom Coach, I never "got lucky" in it, but I'll bet he did.
My best friend's 64 Mercury Comet wagon for me. Borrowed that from him on many occasions for steamy windowed drive-in nights!
Yeah, a wagon can give you some space.
By the way, if anyone can read through this article without laughing out loud at least once (I could hardly STOP laughing) then they deserve some kind of "loser" award, you know, like the Darwin Award.
75 Dodge Powerwagon with a topper, 4 wheel drive would get back in the woods
What's a "topper"? A row of lights mounted on the roof?
A shell that covers the bed. (picture is not my truck, just an example I could find)
You could put them on and take off easy
Okay, that makes sense. I just didn't know what that cover was called.
Dad was a lifelong cattle rancher who aways drove Chevy or GMC trucks because he hated Ford and there was no way as a Cattleman he would ever consider driving a truck with a big old sheep on the hood!
(DELETED)
Please read my RED BOX RULES above and either post a still image or fully describe the YouTube. I thought you were aware of my inability to open YouTube.
Delete it.
Okay, since that's what you want.
Would never do it in a car, anyone who's ever watched a slasher film knows that having sex guarantees you're the first to die
Well, okay, maybe Kitty's still alive.
lol
I figured when I posted this article I wouldn't see any women commenting on it. LOL
Okay Tess, you proved me wrong. LOL
My brother, when he was about 16 or so, had a, I think it was a Pontiac? Catlina - that thing was a boat. It could fit about 10 people comfortably.
I always liked Pontiacs - owned a 1959 convertible, then a 1964 convertible and a little later a 1973 Grand Am that had that fiberglass nose.
Car sex kinda sucks. It’s just a place to have drunk sex and feel bruised the next day. The last time I did it was at a wine festival, parked in a huge grass lot with hundreds of cars. We finished and I sat up to see two lesbians having sex in the car next to us.
One's first experience is bound to be a memorable one no matter where it happened, unless one is really an incompetent loser.
I don’t remember my first sexual encounter. I can say that it wasn’t in a car, and can say who it was (probably) with, but any other detail is lost to time. Those aren’t details that are important to everybody.
Well, Hal, as they say in France, Chacun à son goût. For me it was an absolutely delicious experience that I'll not forget even though it was more than 70 years ago.
1964-69 Plymouth Barracudas had a fold down backseat and big area in the back
My cousin and several friends had them, they ran fast and had big back areas
They also made spacemaker package for Dusters with a fold down backseat opening into the trunk
A Plymouth that rocked.
