If you want to add some spice to your relationship, you don’t have to go as far as adding a third person into your bedroom or heading to some scandalous sex party in the depths of Lower Manhattan. You can start off nice and easy and try getting your public freak on with your boo. I’m serious. There’s a certain level of spontaneity and a jolt of adrenaline that comes along with public sexual encounters. But like anything else, there are rules to this game. If played well you’ll be filled with sexual bliss, but if you happen to make a few wrong turns you might end up in the slammer, so be careful. Here’s a list of places to make it happen and others to avoid at all costs:

Back of a yellow cab

Making love in the back of a yellow cab under the bright city lights has a certain mystique to it. See last week’s episode of “How To Make it in America” or just imagine Samantha getting it on with one of her many lovers in “Sex and the City.” Don’t worry too much about the driver noticing, downtown in any major city is typically so busy that cab drivers are more worried about almost hitting each other than a couple trying to “make it happen.”

NOT in the back of a gypsy cab

First, what’s a gypsy cab? In Philadelphia they call them hack cabs but in every major city you have “unauthorized” cab cars that typically have cheaper fares. The Gypsy cab totally kills the sexual mystery. It’s more like a scene out of Law & Order: SVU and you’re just nervous about winding up being left for dead on the side of a road somewhere. It’s not very clean in these cabs, there’s no protective glass that separates you and the driver, and some of the drivers have been known to be some of the shadiest characters known to man. Cross this destination for loving off your list.

Crowded party where you won’t be noticed

Do you remember Beyoncé’s part in the remix to “Love in This Club”? I’m not so sure that being held up by the velvet rope is the move to go for, but some of the nicer venues have great bathrooms that are perfect for sliding off. There’s a place called Bar 89 in NYC that comes to mind; they have unisex bathrooms so it doesn’t look bizarre when a man and woman dip off into the bathroom together.  Then they have those cool stalls that let you look out but don’t let people look in. I’ve seen the same type of bathrooms in cities from Miami to Los Angeles so you should be pretty good. And if your city doesn’t have unisex bathrooms, you’re going to have to go the old fashioned route and sneak in, get it in, and then sneak out.

No Intimate settings When public freaking goes wrong it’s typically in a more intimate setting where people end up finding you. For instance, I know a girl who dipped off at a BBQ and found herself extremely embarrassed when she and her hook up for the night were caught because they forgot to lock their host’s bedroom door. OH SNAP!  You can’t really do intimate settings (especially ones that don’t belong to you) because people start to notice you’re gone too long and often that curiosity brings them directly to where you are freaking at and now you’re caught in the act. No Bueno.
