Is It Rude to Have Sex at a B&B?

Ok, that’s a little personal, I know. But, I’m curious. This whole thing got started when I read a recent article in the Boston Globe about hotel sex being better than at home. The author theorized that people love having hotel sex because hotels were probably the only place to get privacy, away from parents or roommates, during those early heady years of a relationship.

Hotel Sex

Thinking back to my first boyfriend in college (my first boyfriend ever, really), we did enjoy the freedom and excitement of being anonymous and, thereby unaccountable for strange, uh, noises and bumps that escaped the hotel walls. Heck, sex was so new everything about it was thrilling. Ahhh, back in the day…

Vacation Sex

Now that we have all the privacy we want the kicks of hotel sex have largely worn off. Although since we tend to rent houses instead of staying in box hotels, the right setting can really pay off. On our very first vacation we traveled to St. John’s for an idyllic stay at the Windwardside Cottage. It just doesn’t get any more romantic or dreamy than this folks.

We had our one single room cottage that included a tiny kitchen and a king size bed with premium thread count sheets. (You haven’t slept until you’ve slept on 900+ thread count- it’s a whole new world!) Best of all we had an outdoor shower that led to a secluded, private hot tub. A few cocktails while gazing at the moon and each other, and well, let’s just say some personal records got set. Enuf said.

B&B Sex

As I mentioned in an earlier post, we’re heading to New Orleans for the Jazzfest. Instead of staying near the French Quarter which will no doubt be loud and rowdy (as it should be), I opted to book us to stay with Cindy of the Southern Comfort B&B. What a great host Cindy is. She helped me make the entire trip a surprise for my swubby. And, if TripAdvisor is right, and the often are, our stay is gonna be heaven. Quiet neighborhood, scrumptious breakfast, knowledgable host. Only trouble is:

Can we get wild while doing the wild thing?

    Very interesting topic. I do have to admit, the idea of B&B sex is kinda yucky. Especially if it’s the kind of B&B where you are actually in the hosts’ house. If it’s actually an inn, no problem.

    I hear ya, Rhea. That’s my hubby’s opinion, too. I’d like to think I’d be bold enough to do it. But, when I imagine facing the other guests at the breakfast table, uh…the excitement fades.

Got something to say?
