Sex in the backseat of a car. I had always thought it was something you only saw in movies or on TV.

In high school, I always had the good fortune of having a bed or couch at my disposal, so the idea of actually climbing in the back of a car with a loved one always seemed a bit crazy.

During a recent weekend at home I went out for drinks with an old high school friend. I always had a thing for this person, but never pursued anything because we were never single at the same time; that was, until recently.

The details are blurry but somehow we ended up, surprisingly enough, in the backseat of my car in the parking lot behind the local grocery store.

The experience was not exactly exhilarating. The fact that I’m relatively tall didn’t help the proceedings, either.

I’ve come to the conclusion that some places, like the back of a Toyota Camry, are simply not designed as places to have sex.

That’s why SUVs exist.
