#WeAskRileyWednesday Question: Have you joined the mile high club? Answer: I haven't. And there are several reasons for that. Somehow, airplane bathrooms gross me out. There's no space, and most of the time, there are families nearby or so many people. It might be different if I was flying from a US city to another US city on a plane without many passengers. However, most of my flights were international ones on big-ass airplanes. There's nothing sexy when you've seen 10 people taking a dump in the bathroom in the past 20 minutes, and you hear babies crying all over the place. There's always a damn lineup for the bathroom! How can you even get two people inside that tiny space without no one noticing it? I've also seen some articles of people being arrested for having sex in the airplane's bathroom. Once you fly internationally, you are facing the law where you land if you are arrested. I kinda don't feel like being in trouble and arrested in another country for some bad sex. Anyhow, I once read something interesting in an article about the Mile High Club, so I'll end that column with an excerpt from it! According to a 2011 Skyscanner survey of over 1,000 travelers, 95 percent of people surveyed said they want to join the Mile High Club, yet only 20 percent have actually given it a try. (20 PERCENT?!?! I have troubles believing the number is THAT high!) In Britain, however, it’s another story. According to a 2007 report by the BBC News, if caught, sex in a public place is punishable by a six-month prison sentence. But then again, it all depends. About 65 percent of flight attendants would admit to letting things slide. As long as couples are discreet about it. As one attend says, “I've only encountered it a few times in my five year career. It was almost always on red eyes or overnights to Europe. We had one on a flight to Rome that was rather interesting. The couple didn't know each other at the start of the flight, and despite being on opposite ends of business class, somehow found a way to be in the same seat mid-flight. They decided to go at it sans-blanket, at which point we had to ask them to separate for the rest of the flight. On a different flight, I had a couple ask if they could stand in the galley for a few minutes to stretch their legs. They were very polite, and I said sure and went back to reading my book. I made it halfway down the page, when I heard her moaning, and I turned and looked and the guy had her pinned up against my coffee makers with his hand up her shirt. I promptly told them to remove themselves from the galley and either finish up in the lav, or head back to their seats and keep their hands to themselves. If I can't get it on in my galley, no one can get it on in my galley. My whole take on it is, as long as you aren't doing it in public, you're being quiet about it, and you haven't been acting suspicious the entire flight, if you want to go have sex in the lav then have at it. It's certainly not high on the list of places I'd want to have sex, especially given that the lavatory is cramped, smelly, and the liquid on the floor isn't water... But to each their own.”
