    I feel like I mechanically understood that car sex was a thing, but I never realized people actually went out and did shit like that until someone like ten years younger than me mentioned it casually and I'm like ohnoes

      Not sure if its prevalent in adulthood but as teenagers with access to a car... its about the only way to get some form of privacy to fool around.

        Oh no I get that, I feel like as adults some living situations (ie poor with roommates) can be like that too.

        I'm just really oblivious about sex and it had always struck me as a trope on the level of "oh no I'm stuck in the dryer", but apparently it's just a routine hookup thing.

          Truth be told, most car sex is little more than foreplay or for bragging rights. Its definitely not the most ... successful way to do it.

      Upon my first visit to the US I immediately understood why car sex was a thing. It never even crossed my feeble european brain that car sex fantasies weren't about someone getting it on in the backseat of a Toyota Aygo or a Citroën C1, but rather on the couch-like backseats of an american truck the size of a small house.

          A transfem engineer recently told me that twingos actually come with the option to fold the back seats and the front seats into a level surface and that this means they're the compact car that's the easiest to use as an improvised camper. Apparently she has outfitted hers with red LEDs, too, but i didn't ask her or anybody from her polycule about the car sex.
