Spontaneous pleasures: Sex between women in public places

Abstract

There is a dearth of academic work on public sex among women, especially compared to the wealth of information about men's public sex cultures. To address this disparity, an exploratory study was carried out in which queer women were interviewed to collect their opinions about and experiences with public sex. Based on their responses, queer women have public sex in an unplanned manner, and often within relationships, rejecting the dominant paradigm of men's anonymous cruising cultures. This research indicates that there should be future study on women's public sex, as well as on a wider variety of public sexual behaviors among and between men and women.
