Perhaps the most daring of sex acts is doing it somewhere public. I must admit to having tempted fate a few times, in some bushes or even behind some cars once in a parking lot. The adrenaline races through you and with your heart pounding in your ears, it’s an intense rush that in all honesty for me it’s more stressful than pleasurable.

I’d much rather take my time in the comfort of a more appropriate interior venue, not crouched somewhere open, feeling vulnerable while the zipper of my half-opened fly chafes me places no one wishes to be chafed. Nevertheless, I suppose once and awhile it can be fun to throw caution to the wind and I imagine even more so when you’re a young married couple that seldom get out.

However, over in Britain you have to be extra diligent not to be caught in a compromising situation. As a story from the online version of the Stourbridge Chronicle reveals, big brother could be watching and he might not approve of what you’re doing to his sister even if you are married. Derek Miller and Sharon Little, both aged 33, pleaded guilty to outraging public indecency after operators of their town’s closed circuit television system saw them having drunken sex against a shop window late one night as pubs and clubs were closing.

Their defense lawyer besides reiterating how sorry the couple was and how they had never had occasion to behave in such an inappropriate manner previously did express some concern after counting 10 police officers and two riot vans appearing on the scene in the CCTV footage.

In the end, they were given a 12-month conditional discharge and ordered to pay £60 (about $105 US) each costs. If they could just get their hands on that video then I bet they could cover the court costs and more with the right online marketing. If I ever go to England, I’ll be especially sure to behave myself since riot gear isn’t the kind of uniform you want to see outside the bedroom.
