The Truth About Sex Whilst Travelling...

Let’s face it, having sex with a complete stranger or another traveller who you've got to know is a possibility when you are away travelling. The laid back holiday atmosphere makes a holiday fling seem like the perfect addition to your trip. We spoke to three girls about their not so great sexual experiences whilst away travelling.

Olivia: “I was staying at this hostel in Australia. I’d had a crush on this guy who was also staying in the hostel and we’d chatted quite a bit and got along. One night, our hostel had put on this games night which actually turned out to be a massive party with lots of alcohol and music. I wouldn't say that I’m an especially confident person but the alcohol took over me and I had the courage to go up to him and tell him exactly what I thought of him, which was how sexy I thought he was and how I fancied him loads. Looking back now I am so embarrassed, however, he seemed to be taken with my honestly and told me that he thought I was attractive. Well you can guess that one thing led to another and not long after, we were passionately making out. If I had been sober then I would have realised that going back with him to a shared hostel dorm with the intention of sex was not a great idea. Still, it happened though and we had sex into the early hours of the morning. When I woke up the next day, I was mortified to discover that quite a few people had witnessed out antics. Not only this but people were also annoyed that we had interrupted their sleep. Thank goodness I only had one more night in that hostel before we moved on to another location because I could not have taken the dirty stares from other travellers any longer.”

Charlotte: “I was travelling around India and I was in Jaipur when I came across this really hot Irish man. He was also on his travels and we struck up conversation and got on really well immediately. I’m not sure why, but something about his accent was really attractive and I really really liked him. One night he suggested going to this restaurant that he liked, and so I happily went, thinking that this could be like a sort of date. We had an amazing time and the food tasted amazing. We went back to his hostel, both knowing what was going to happen. We starting getting it on and all of a sudden I had a sudden wave of stomach cramps. Not wanting to ruin the movement, I just ignored it and carried on focusing on him. This was a bad idea. A couple of minutes later I had another awful wave of cramps and thought I was going to poo myself then and there. I knew that if I didn't get to a toilet in the next 30 seconds, I was going to have to relieve myself right there in bed with him. I got up and ran to the toilet and stayed there with the worst diarrhoea imaginable for the next half hour. Safe to say when I got out I didn't even go back to his room, I just left and returned to my own hostel. I never saw him again, and frankly, I’m glad of it.”

Faye: “I’d been in Nepal for just over two weeks and there was a really cute Nepalese man who spoke no English, but came and waved to us everyday, trying to sell us some sort of clothing. He was hot and although we couldn't comminute with each other due to the language barrier, he always seemed pleased to see me and came across as quite flirty with the way he acted around me. One day, under the influence of alcohol, when he came over, I grabbed him and pulled him in for a kiss. He responded and it wasn't long before we were exploring each others bodies. We went back to where I was staying and got with each other some more. All of a sudden he started saying the same thing over and over again and doing this really weird thing with his head. I had no idea what he was saying, or doing for that matter, and started to feel a bit awkward. He carried on doing it and so I pulled away and said I was tired. He was obviously confused and he started saying a load more stuff at me that I couldn’t understand. I was so embarrassed that I’d thought sleeping with someone who didn't speak a word of my language was a good idea that I avoided him for the rest of the trip. It was very tragic.”
