It’s sweaty, cramped and not always sexy but sex in tents is now big enough to spawn (excuse the puns) a small cottage industry of products. Since Tracey Emin caused a minor furore stitching the name of everyone she’s ever slept with into the inside of a two man tent, sex and camping have been slightly awkward bedfellows. But as we spend more and more time under canvas nature is taking it’s course and the embarrassment of a mere sheet of nylon to preserve our modesty isn’t putting us off. My Tent or Yours features a step by step guide to festival nookie and a recent survey by the Evening Standard found the majority of Londoners were willing to be amorous outdoors.
Sexy Hotness

Sexy Hotness
Alite Designs are the sort of hipster company you expect to see on the pages of Vice Magazine, but instead of ironic indoor products they’ve set their sights on the outdoors.
Their latest product is the Sexy Hotness sleeping bag. Featuring a “subtle” Karma Sutra print, the Sexy Hotness bag makes sex outside practical with a unique zip allowing easy access to your lower regions. Aimed at the winter camper who wants to be warmed by something other than synthetic insulation, the Sexy Hotness allows you to get down without getting out of your sleeping bag.

Glamping
After twice describing the excellent Go Glamping as pornographic (Going Glamping & 10 Essential Camping Websites) we have to be frank and state glamping is clearly all about sex.
You would happily go camping with your mates in that ratty two man, bought in a panic before Glastonbury 1997 with its remnants still on the liner but you’re hardly going to stay with them in a Yurt. It’s all about taking that special someone away, getting the natural air wafting through your teepee, smoke curling through the vent and the stars above you to make the most of those amazing beds.
Getting Naughty in Nature
Love in a tent blogger Michelle Waitzman is the author of A Wild Couple’s Guide to Getting Naughty in Nature. A thorough guide to outdoors love, the book acts as a cross between a traditional camping book and the Joy of Sex.

Festivals

Festival love
Take 100,000 hormonally charged dirty young things, put them in a field for three days with drugs and rock and roll and you can guess the rest.
With Glastonbury annually handing out 50,000 condoms, a festival must be the first outdoor experience for many.
So those are the upsides, but as anyone who has tried to get a bit under canavas will know, sex in tents isn’t always yurts and teepees but sometimes the smell of a chemical toilet meters from your head or a drunken reveler falling on your tent as they stumble to the pyramid stage. If you have any experiences to share post them below but keep it clean, we’re a family site…

My sex is tent experience is limited to a few fumblings behind the mess tent at Scout camp when there was a large group of Guides camping nearby…
Sexy Hotness makes the whole thing look fairly civilised.
