 As the summer unrolls in full heat and all the girls wear see-through dresses with no bras and all the guys unbutton their shirts (even those who shouldn’t), the city gets tense! You can practically see the sexual energy ooze out of people and the vapor of sexuality practically fogs the evenings (and you thought it was just humidity).
The Staten Island Ferry: Hey, if it’s good enough for Live Schreiber, it is good enough for us! The Staten Island Ferry is a favorite public sex spot. The open water and sweeping views of the city prove quite romantic. One suggestion – bring a partner, don’t expect to find one on the ferry – it can get pretty ugly.
Central Park: What a huge waste of space at night. Use it before real estate sharks build night towers and you’ll be doing all of us a favor. Even though the best sheltered areas have been claimed by the homeless, and the underpasses of many bridges smell like piss, the shadowy areas under trees and the trails of the Ramble are perfect spots for getting acquainted with a new stranger.
Essex House: Don’t like the outdoors? Go to the Essex House - Village Voice's pick for best public sex spot a few years ago. They write, "On weekends, the second-floor business center at the Essex House is deader than Quogue in February." The toilets are large with floor to ceiling walls and doors, and there is one extra large handicapped stall with a handy support bar (or so I hear).
Brighton Beach / Coney Island: During the summer months, there is always action of some kind going on under the boardwalk. And who hasn’t done it on the lifeguard chair at the beach??? C’mmon, we’ve seen you. Best part – you can wash yourself off before and after.
LIRR or PATH: Of course if you are really into adrenaline-driven experiences, you can do it in a subway car, but that is for the bravest of us. If you do decide to go for it, do it on the F train – at least you’ll justify its “name”. But the LIRR or the PATH, it turns out, had more than a few commuters blow of some steam in the bathrooms and abandoned cars here. The most famous case occurred in '02 when a plumber, his wife, and his brother were caught having a ménage-à-trois on the 6:05 AM train. A lesson learned: avoid the rush hour!
New York Public Library: If we learned anything from high school study hall it was that the library is a great place for getting it on. The smell of the books, the necessity of silence, the septuagenarian librarians a room away...we defy you to find a better setting for teenage sex. Turns out the public library is even more fun for adult sex, especially when you can have it in the NYPL's gorgeous reading room overlooking Bryant Park.
Taxi Cabs – The list would not be complete without the symbol of New York – the yellow cab. Benefits: if you get the one-of-a-kind, f** it all -urge – there is always one around. Disadvantages: you might have to walk the rest of the way. Look at it this way -the deed is probably worth it… and what are the chances of you ever seeing that driver guy again anyway?
