You’re at your favorite band’s concert. The music has gotten louder, you’re singing at the top of your voice. You’ve let loose, the lights are wild and the crowd is a sea of energy. Now, the person who’s been singing right there, the one who was stealing glances of you has striked up a conversation. You laugh loudly, and they touch your shoulder. Before you know it, both of you sneak out to a cozy spot.
Feeling a rush of excitement yet? Can you imagine yourself in this scenario, grinning from ear to ear? Or maybe, just maybe, you've already danced this dance – perhaps not with a stranger, but with a partner.
Believe it or not, hooking up at music festivals is a widespread phenomenon, and it's more common than you might think. Astonishingly, there are also multiple in-depth studies on the other end of the world that look into this, like the one right here.
So, why does this idea intrigue people so much? Let’s s(w)ing right into it.
A Live Sex Playlist :
Get ready to crank up the volume on your love life with a Live Sex Playlist! There’ll be a sensational artist, a kickass band, guitars strumming, pianos serenading - who will all set the stage (yes, in the way you’re thinking!). It’ll also have the gigantic vibe of the kind of music you actually dig (because, come on, that's why you're there!). Doesn’t this make the concert into the ultimate backdrop for a little ‘ahh’ and a lot of ‘oohs?’
I was shooting this breeze with one of my friends, Ruhi. She flashed a mischievous grin and spilled the tea, "Forget just hooking up; it's freaking romantic! If I'm out in a concert with my partner, decked out in some wild outfit ; I’ll totally be in the mood to groove. If I venture a bit away from the main scene – maybe hit up the parking lots or find a cozy spot in the woods – I’ll still be able to catch the music as I kiss. It’ll then be our very own concert, if you know what I mean!”
Steamy Associations :
Imagine someone’s hands all over you as Coldplay belts out, “We're gonna get it, get it together and flower.” Now, I know ‘Up and Up’ isn't exactly a love ballad, and it's not going to find itself into your steamy playlist anytime soon. But the next time that tune kicks in - whether it’s on your shuffle or loudly in a mall, you're not thinking about flowers and rainbows. You're reliving some seriously steamy memories. Talk about turning an innocent melody into the soundtrack of your sauciest adventures!
The Non-judgemental Club :
It is safe to assume that most of the people who come to a concert are carefree as a beach day and twice as fun! They have left their judgements at a door. They’ve all come here for a great time, so will not bother you while you have yours (hehe).
While delving into the nitty-gritty, I stumbled upon a Reddit nugget that sums it all up - “We thought we were pretty secluded in the parking lot since everyone was at the festival and we parked at the end of the lot, but midway through we heard clapping and cheering for us. I didn’t know whether to be proud or mortified. But overall, it was fun. Ten out of ten.”
Ah, the thrill :
The thrill of getting frisky in unconventional spots, maybe cozying up inside a car or finding a sneaky nook in a public park. Now, these places might toss a hint of privacy your way, but let's be real – the heart-pounding excitement of indulging in a bit of naughtiness in a forbidden, semi-public setting? That’s a thrill tough to top.
Personally, I experience an undeniable rush when I’m tip toeing on the edge of societal norms. Doing it in a location where I’m traditionally not supposed to? Wow. I will be grinning ear to ear if someone goes down on me in such a setting!
An Escape from the Usual Scene:
So, you've conquered every nook and cranny of your abode, from the cozy bedroom to the elusive 13th-floor staircase corner – kudos to you! But let's face it, even the most fantastic spots can become a bit too familiar after a while. If you want to shake things up, and your concert ticket has the power to do just that.
Having sex at a once-in-a-while spot – the concert scene is a fun change.The combination of loud music, flashing lights, and the overall electric atmosphere creates an irresistible cocktail of sensations. It's not just about the music; it's about the vibe. This different ambiance adds a generous dose of turn-on to the mix, making it a compelling reason to dive headfirst into the concert rendezvous!
Immediate Conversation Starter :
You'd be vibing with a stranger over shared favorite tunes and getting caught up in the magnetic pull of the performance. Concerts are not just about the music; it's about forging connections, sparking flirtatious conversations, and creating shared experiences that transcend the stage. In such a setting, people are always up for new experiences, new risks, new friends and new (very) exciting memories. This makes it super easy to start a conversation, and ofcourse, take it to more!
Now that I have fully motivated you to go kiss people at a concert, there are some safety precautions I absolutely need you to follow :
-
If you’re open to this idea, do not forget to carry condoms. And in case you’re particularly into an even higher thrill, something like LIT is easy to sneak in!
- Establish enthusiastic, but most importantly, sober consent.
- If you do not find someone, don’t be sad! That’s not why you were so excited for this concert - is it?
- Take care of the hygiene - whether it’s via hand sanitizers or wet wipes or any method, that’s on you. But bodies are naturally sweaty during festivals, so I need you to go prepared in your own way.
Besties, now that you’re ready for festivals, go let your hair down (or your skirts if you wish too!) I hope you find a great spot and have the story of your life.
