Der er du. sitting across from some foreign hottie in your hostel. You’re staring deeply into each other’s eyes when you realize you are both conveying the same thought: “Let’s have sex.”
No one wants to spend a year traveling around the world and not come back with at least one story of overseas romance. magical nights spent in exotic cities, two souls exploring the world together. Or at least one drunken night in that hostel in Europe.
Kindred spirits abound on the travel trail, and people are continuously starting and ending relationships – in some cases in the same day. So there you are, in that hostel with your new romance – what do you do? Hvor vil du hen? Well, here are some do’s and don’ts for having sex in a hostel:
DO head to the bathroom.
This is a ideal place to do the nasty. You can lock the door, and the shower makes for easy cleanup. It’s also less likely someone will come in and bother you here than in a dorm room.
DON’T have sex in the common room.
After a long day of sightseeing, you don’t want to come back, sit down on the couch, and think, “Ewww…why is this couch sticky?” Do us all a favor and head somewhere you won’t leave a mark…at least not one people will sit in. try the closet where the hostel keeps cleaning supplies. no one will bother you there. I’ve walked in on people in the common room and just think, “Gross.” Plus, people hang out, eat, and drink in the common room all day. It’s probably not that clean to begin with.
DO head to the roof.
Tons of awesome hostels have rooftop terraces, and numerous are kept unlocked. no one is going to bother you (unless they get the same idea – maybe “the much more the merrier” is a viewpoint you take with you all the time?). Bump uglies under the stars all night long. It will be the most romantic time you have in a hostel.
DON’T have sex on the top bunk.
You’ll shake the bed. It will creak. You’ll wake everyone up, especially your bunkmate. It’s just rude – there are other places to go. Don’t be that man or girl!
DO drape sheets over your bed.
I can’t count the number of times I’ve seen sheets hanging over the bottom bunk in a dorm room. Couples think they are being coy, but we all know what is going on behind the sheets. However, your dormmates will appreciate it when you hang a sheet around the bed because no one wants to see your butt bouncing up and down like a teenager thinking his parents aren’t home.
DON’T have sex in the kitchen.
Helt seriøst. I imply it. people eat there. The only white sauce I want on my pasta is made out of cheese. Hostel kitchens are dirty enough; there’s no need to make them dirtier. Additionally, there are people in a kitchen 24 hours a day so there’s little chance you’ll have privacy. Don’t have sex in the kitchen. think of it as the hostel’s champagne room. There is no sex in the champagne room.
DO wait until people go to bed.
If you wait until late at night, there’s less of a chance that people will hear you have sex in your dorm. Okay, someone will probably hear you. They might even watch; man ved aldrig. but if you wait until your dormmates put in earplugs and fall into a comfy drunk sleep, the chances of you waking someone are pretty low. Unless, of course, you’re a screamer. then there’s no hope.
DON’T do it in the evening.
This is the WORST time to have sex. people are coming in from a day of sightseeing. They’re eating dinner. getting ready to go out. posting pictures on Instagram. The hostel is bursting with life in the early evening. bottom line: Unless you want to show people your bottom and possibly get kicked out in the process, wait a few hours until everyone goes out for the night (see suggestion below).
DO wait until people go out for the evening. When nighttime rolls around and everyone goes out to socialize, there’s no one around to bother you and your special someone while you play a quiet game of hide the sausage.
DON’T have sex in the morning.
Everyone is getting up or sleeping off their hangovers. The last thing they want to hear is “Ohhh I’m practically there” or, much more likely, “I typically last a little longer.” Waking people up by getting jiggy with it is a foolproof way to leave a hostel with no friends. except for that creepy man who wouldn’t stop staring.
DO get it on in the laundry room.
It will be empty, especially at night, so you’ll have your own private space. put a few coins in the device for some extra fun.
DON’T do it in a small room.
If you are in a 24-person dorm, it will be easy to get away with doing it. many people aren’t going to realize who is doing what if you’re in a huge dorm, but in a small room, it’s easy to annoy your roommates. people will figure it out, you’ll keep them up, and you’ll make enemies. I’ve stayed in 40-bed dorms where it’s hard to hear anything over the 10 people snoring like freight trains, but in that 6-bed dorm? You know who is doing what!Få dit eget værelse!
Jeg ved, at du rejser på et budget, og et privat rum er dyrt, men når to af jer deler omkostningerne ved et rum, er det ikke så dårligt. For et par ekstra dollars om natten kan du og din elsker have et komplet privatliv. Du kan gøre det, indtil du er blå i ansigtet uden at skulle bekymre dig om at blive fanget.
Glem ikke at bære kondom.
Fordi fotos og minder er de eneste ting, du vil bringe hjem fra din ferie.
Så husk, at hvis du skal have sex på et vandrerhjem, skal du sørge for at have sex på den bedste måde – uden at genere resten af vandrerhjemmet. Ingen vil se din røv. Det er ikke smukt. Faktisk, hvornår var sidste gang du fik en solbrun? Det ser lidt hvidt ud. Jeg har set nogle skøre ting på vandrerhjem, men at se dig have sex er noget, ingen vil se!

Book din rejse: logistiske forslag og tricks
Book din flyvning
Find en billig flyvning ved hjælp af Skyscanner. Det er min foretrukne søgemaskine, fordi den søger på websteder og flyselskaber over hele kloden, så du ved altid, at der ikke er nogen sten, der ikke er vendt.
Book din indkvartering
Du kan booke dit hostel med HostelWorld. Hvis du vil bo et andet sted end et vandrerhjem, skal du bruge Booking.com, da de konsekvent returnerer de mest overkommelige priser for gæstehuse og hoteller.
Glem ikke rejseforsikring
Rejseforsikring vil beskytte dig mod sygdom, skade, tyveri og aflysninger. Det er omfattende beskyttelse, hvis noget går galt. Jeg tager aldrig på en tur uden den, da jeg har været nødt til at bruge den adskillige gange i fortiden. Mine yndlingsfirmaer, der tilbyder den bedste service og værdi, er:
Safetywing (bedst for alle)
Forsikre min rejse (for dem over 70)
Medjet (for yderligere evakueringsdækning)
