Sex on the Beach: How NOT to do it

It always looks so glamorous and sexy on movies. The hero sweeps up his lady and runs next to the ocean where they proceed to make it like bunnies in the hot summer sun. The reality is there's more to that sand and sun than meets the eye. Given that you're not going to be able to CGI your way out of a bacterial infection, here's some tips on what not to do, so you can keep sex on the beach sexy, but safe.

1. Get naked on a public beach in daylight. Remember there's no nudist beach on the island of O'ahu. So anytime you drop trough to give it to your partner, you're risking breaking the law. Instead of that midday affair that you were thinking, the night time may be the right time for beach love. And you should definitely find somewhere a bit secluded. Waikiki right by the boardwalk, may not be the best spot. Just saying.

2. Leave a trail of clothes to your secluded spot like breadcrumbs. Getting fully disrobed on the beach, though it may feel sexy and risque, it's pretty risky in terms of getting caught. Kept your skirt on, lose the panties. Or maybe shorts with a stretchty waistband or boxers with a handy front closure.

3. Hey, don't worry about using a condom! The water washes everything clean. It's magic! This is a really silly idea. Of course you can get pregnant or an STD in the water. Definitely use birth control. Remember using the condom in the warm water may make it more likely to break. The salty water can also rob your vagina of its natural lube. Oh yeah, and pay attention. The little sucker may just slip off.

    4. Bare-bottom on the sand. Sands an exfoliant right? This is a particularly bad idea. The sand not only wedges itself in those hard to reach tender places; it also houses bacterium, critters and other entites you don't want in your special spots. Don't forget to lay on a towel or a blanket. That will help head of the little sandy bits of intrusion. Make sure to shower afterward to get that sound out of your more sensitive areas. Douching isn't advised.

    5. Surprise your partner with some beach sexxxytimes. Surprises may be fun, but this may not be one of them. You definitely want to ask first. S/he may just not be into it.
