So I am Coming Home from Church Today . . .

[indianasmith]

and we just baptized four new believers, a big deal for a small country church.  Life is good, I am spiritually happy, and I am about to stop at the local country store for a Dr. Pepper and then come home and soak up some A/C.

Right where the Farm to Market Road intersects the Interstate Service Road, there is a turnout where people frequently park their cars, or pull over to consult maps, or whatever.  There's a big old pickup truck with a hay trailer hitched to it pulled over there, nothing atypical about that - till I glanced at the cab as I drove by.  There was a couple in the driver's seat HAVING SEX!!!!

My reaction went through about three phases -
- first, a mild voyeuristic thrill.  Not something you see every day.
- second, from the more civilized part of my brain, a sense of outrage.  I mean, sex is a wonderful thing, but I am old school enough to believe it should be a PRIVATE thing, done in a place where you can reasonably expect no spectators.
- third, amusement.  Real people just look funny when they are making the beast with two backs.
- lastly, a sense of wonder.  I mean, how desperate do you have to be to have sex in a parked car, in August, in Texas, during a record heat wave, at 2 in the afternoon?

All in all, it was a pretty bizarre and amusing experience.

Oh, and after the fact, a bit of concern - assuming they left the car running and the A/C on (the only possible choice in this heat) - what if she hit the gear shift in her gyrations and they went rocketing out onto the highway?

Wow, really that story ran the whole gamut... Spiritual...new church members and whatnot, Personal... Dr. Pepper and family time, and the Carnal...yahoos knockin' boots (it was Texas) in the pickup.   All you didn't do was lay on the horn and add Farcial to the mix (for which they would thank you had they but known).  Really you had a full day and just drove home from church.  Thanks for sharing.

I think people are in heat Thank you, thank you, I- hey, stop throwing tomatoes at me- ow!!!!

[Pilgermann]

It's amazing how often this sort of thing occurs.  At the theater where I work we've made a hobby of patroling our parking lot and busting people who're fooling around.  Usually people are just making out which isn't a big deal-t's still kind of funny to give them a startle-but it's surprising how many people get it on.  I haven't been privy to any of these events, but plenty of coworkers and securty personal catch 'em.  I guess there's the element of thrill or whatever, but c'mon people, yuck!

Indy, at least you didn't hear things like "Oh, I love you, dear but [OW!] that isn't the handbrake!" 

[Zapranoth]

For some people a good part of the thrill is doing it in a place where one can be caught.
Saw a video on some site, forget which one, in which people were having sex while driving a car.
Which is definitely going too far; you should be jailed for risking the lives of others that way.

But sex in a car in Texas, in August?  Bleh.   Sticky, sticky...   

[Mr. DS]

I personally always marvel where I find used condoms.  That includes tide pools, parking lots, forests, etc.

Hot weather can really bring out some strong, um, "feelings" amongst people.  I can personally attest to this   

[zombie no.one]

hah crazy story for sure, wow...I mean FOUR?

And 1 out of 1000 times Jack actually has a lady with him

GUILTY.  My first steady girlfriend and I had sex in my car several times per week.  We did it in the car mostly because we both still lived with our parents and it was too expensive to rent motel rooms all the time (which we did a few times per month).  We usually did it at night in the parking area at a local beach.  It was dark, there usually weren't many people walking by, and there were other cars parked there with people in them who I assume were also having sex.  So, not the most discrete circumstances, but at least it wasn't in the middle of the day in full view of other people.

Ah getting hot and heavy.  Must have been a particularly boring sunday.

One wonders why they didn't go for a roll in the hay instead?

[Flick James]

How funny would it have been if they had been two of the new church members?




Sorry, that was inappropriate.

[bob]

can't say as I've ever come across that

poor indy
