Music festivals are what we live for. You save up for months and you book the tickets and all your friends who aren\u2019t going have major FOMO (fear of missing out).<\/span><\/p>\n

Before you know it, you’re inside the grounds, watching your favorite artists, and have met someone interesting you’re interested in being intimate with.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s just something entirely different about sex at a musical festival \u2013 everyone is doing it, but no one\u2019s talking about it. Well, we should. Here are<\/span> our best tips for hooking up at music festivals.<\/span><\/p>\n

Festival Sex Dos<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Do<\/em> Have Condoms on You<\/h3>\n

Condoms<\/span><\/a> shouldn\u2019t be kept in a wallet or pocket where the heat or the damp or the general jumping up and down might damage them. Having a small carry case or tin on you makes sure you won\u2019t be making an awkward dash back to your tent.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do<\/em> Throw Them Out Properly As Well<\/h3>\n

Not only is it the environmentally responsible thing to do, it\u2019s also the not-disgusting thing to do.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do<\/em> Make Conversation When You\u2019re Hanging Out in Lines<\/h3>\n

\u00a0Make one of the worst parts of any large event the best by capitalizing on standing around with new people. Start a party.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do<\/em> Be Respectful of Your Tent Buddies<\/h3>\n

\u00a0It can\u2019t always be avoided that someone will be looking for their bug spray while you\u2019re\u2026 ahem\u2026 entertaining a new friend, but don\u2019t monopolize the tent if you\u2019ve agreed to share with someone. Negotiate and let your tent folk know if you\u2019re gonna hog it for a couple of hours.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do<\/em> Establish Enthusiastic, Sober Consent<\/a><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/b>We think there\u2019s nothing hotter than someone asking if they can [redacted] our [redacted], but it\u2019s also important to make sure your partner-to-be is down to clown when they\u2019re sober, and not make a big deal about it if they change their mind. <\/span><\/p>\n

Do<\/em> Be Aware You Might Run into Them Again\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Festivals can be huge but if you\u2019re there for a couple days, chances are you\u2019re going to see them again. Be polite and friendly, you don\u2019t need to do more than that.<\/span><\/p>\n

Festival Sex Don’ts<\/em><\/h2>\n

Don’t<\/em> Be Shy<\/h3>\n

While you may be seeing the same people around the festival, remember that, chances are, you\u2019re never going to see most of these people again after the festival ends (unless you want to) so don\u2019t worry so much about making the perfect impression. Festivals are popular because people go there to let themselves go for a while. Drink, love, be merry, all of that stuff.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don’t<\/em> Assume Your Tent Is Private or Sound-Proof<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s a tent, not a magical cloak of invisibility. As much as you may not see your fellow festival-goers after the weekend, you will probably have a passing familiarity with the people camping around you. No matter how hot your hookup is, absolutely no one wants to hear it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don’t<\/em> Forget To Stash Valuables<\/h3>\n

<\/b>If you bring someone over, be careful with your stuff and your friends\u2019. Just because you shared a sexy moment together doesn\u2019t mean they won\u2019t steal your stuff.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don’t<\/em> Take It Personally if Someone Doesn\u2019t Want to Give or Receive Oral Sex<\/h3>\n

C\u2019mon. You both know how long it\u2019s been since you\u2019ve showered. Gross I know, but true. You should, as a general rule, keep baby wipes and hand sanitizer around when you\u2019re tenting, whether you\u2019re getting laid or not.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don’t<\/em> Forget Why You’re At the Festival<\/h3>\n

\u00a0It can be discouraging if you don\u2019t find someone to make out with mid-set, but that\u2019s not really why you spent a week\u2019s salary on a 3-day pass is it?<\/span><\/p>\n
