For most people, the thought of a picnic usually conjures up images of champagne and charcuterie boards, not passionate outdoor flings in secluded areas. However, that image changed over the last few years as daters took up picnicking together to overcome the constraints of the COVID era. Taking it a step further, some even partook in the occasional sexnic so they could enjoy intimate encounters while still following CDC guidelines.
Now that the weather is heating up and things are slowly returning to normal, sexnics are still more popular than ever.
How did sexnics get popular in the first place?
As with anything, the most obvious answer is often the right one. So when the government started shutting down restaurants and telling people that socializing was the safest outside, most greeted the message with a sigh of frustration. Fortunately, those of us who try to turn lemons into lemonade quickly reimagined the excitement of eating outside, among other things.
Suddenly, a soft fluffy blanket laid on a secluded patch of beach sand or park turf, with a basket full of fun items to share with your new hookup, became an easy-to-pack solution for all that frustration. Imagine you and your new lover under the stars, in the clean, fresh air, unmasking to share your first kiss before reaching deep in the basket to find the toys you tucked away beneath the champagne glasses. It’s a moment we can all fondly remember as we think back on our own picnic basket hookup histories.
What if someone else is watching?
As with any outdoor sexual adventure, it’s important to be aware of your surroundings so you don’t end up giving an eyeful to some unsuspecting family out for a leisurely nature walk.
Find a location that’s out of sight, preferably somewhere you can find cover from trees, bushes, and other vegetation. You should also pick a time when there’s less foot traffic, like early morning or evening, since afternoons tend to be much more crowded.
You should also wear clothing that’s easy to take off and put back on in case you need to make a quick escape. And as always, keep the volume down, no matter how good getting fucked outdoors feels!
What should always be in your sexnic basket?
The starters are simple enough; you’ll always want a light, easy-to-eat snack that isn’t all that messy. Remember, Cheetos sound like a good idea until your lover heads home (or back to work) with fluorescent orange crumbs all over their collar.
Next, you should be sure to include items that show your partner you see this picnic as a shared celebration. Of course, champagne always makes a great impression, but do your best to find classy reusable glasses to avoid throwing away plastic. And try not to use actual glass to prevent accidental breakage that can ruin an otherwise perfect moment in sexnic paradise together.
Unlike traditional picnics, you’ll also want to include the kinds of party favors you’ll want on hand if things go well. Condoms and lube are always necessary; from there, the long list of what else you may want to have handy comes down to the kind of kink you and your lover plan to share.
When messaging each other to arrange your picnic hookup, don’t be shy about asking what they want in the sexnic basket. Your partner may naively start by saying they don’t like brie, but steer the chat correctly, and they may tell you how to ensure your basket is heavy with the items you need for a truly orgasmic experience.
Most of all – make sure your sexnic is FUN!
Instead of awkwardly chit-chatting about having breakfast outside, why not focus on which cartoon character that giant cloud looks like in an otherwise sunny sky? If it’s an evening sexnic, find your favorite constellation and point it out on your moonlit date while cuddling under the stars together.
You aren’t on a sexnic just because you love nature; you’re on a sexnic because the desire for your partner made you willing to go the extra mile. Let’s face facts, for the right hookup, you’d be willing to wear SCUBA gear in a sandstorm during 120-degree heat if that’s what it took to make them happy. So let that level of desire be your guide, and make sure your lover always knows it’s about your lust for them more than anything else.
Will sexnics continue to be popular?
Nobody knows, but what we do know is that sexy people will always find ways to congregate together no matter what’s going on in the world. Whether that means meeting virtually on a site like Adult FriendFinder, finding a perfect sexnic spot, or strapping on your snorkel to brave a sandstorm – hooking up is a prime directive of our entire species and one of the few cravings we all share. No pandemic, regulation, or social shift in society will ever quell the cravings horny people have for each other. Right now, sexnics appear to be one of the more popular manifestations of lust in modern society. So let’s all enjoy them and have the hottest summer ever!
