The Mile High Club: Plane Sex Stories by Rachel Kramer Bussel (Editor)

From the Publisher

Introduction: Flying High

The Mile High Club is, for many, the stuff of legend, but I’m here to
tell you that where there’s a will, there’s a way. Flying can bring
out so many of our insecurities, fears, and frustrations, that it’s
natural we’d want to find a way to relieve all that tension by getting
it on. Indeed, several of the stories here deal with sex as a way to
conquer a fear of flying.

Just as I was completing this volume, I got a call from a friend who
told me that on the way back from a family vacation, he got it on with
a woman he ran into on the plane whom he’d known, but never slept
with. They managed to have full-on intercourse (and much more) as the
rest of the passengers sleptæor so they thought! They found out later
that they’d been true exhibitionists, seen by horny voyeurs.

In these stories, characters are often surprised to find themselves
engaging in such risqué behavior midflight. The surprise and
naughtiness make what’s happening even hotter. For others, it’s been
carefully orchestrated, such as the woman meeting her online pen pal
in “34B” or the one putting her arsenal of sex toys to good use in
“Obedient.”

Other scenarios are more fanciful, and, unless you’re really lucky,
are probably not going to happen to you. Part of the thrill of even
thinking about the mile high club is that in such close quarters,
someone’s bound to notice the movements, noises, and sensations of sex
happening near him or her. Voyeurism and exhibitionism are part and
parcel of sex on aplane, even if you never officially get caught.

I’m sure you are probably picturing getting it on in a tiny airplane
bathroom, and yes, that happens here. But there’s more than one way to
join the Mile High Club, as the “Wild Child” in the story by Matt
Conklin learns when her kinky new friend asks for some extra ice. And
in “Bermuda Triangle,” we’re introduced to a threesome that takes edge
play to new heights, as a man is blindfolded and instructed to fly,
his fear upping the ante for the novel sexual encounter about to take
place.

While this isn’t a how-to manual, I’m sure you can pick up a few tips
on the fine art of blanket placement and in-flight discretion from
these talented writers. Alas, during the numerous flights I’ve taken
in the last year, nothing so risqué has happened to me, but that
hasn’t stopped me from fantasizing about what might be going on a few
rows over, or wondering, as I stand in the security line, who might
try to pick me up. I love that Wi-Fi is the wave of the flying future,
as I write about in my story “Urgent Message,” and I’m looking forward
to much in-the-air flirting.

Whether you’re a member of the Mile High Club or just want to be, I
hope these stories take you on some exciting trips, and that your next
plane ride is just as eventful! Please feel free to share your story
