Are you a travel slut?
Get your groove on while you're on vacation.
There’s something undeniably sexy about travel. Away from our day-to-day routines, in a different headspace, with time on our hands – we’re open to new experiences and new opportunities. We’re open to sexual encounters.
But is the concept of being a travel slut something to embrace? Is it something we should be proud of?

Let’s get to grips with this important subject.
What is a "travel slut"?
While the term may not yet have officially made into the Merriam-Webster, we’re talking about a travel slut in the context of someone who is comfortable in their sexuality and actively pursues any available opportunity for sexual encounters while on vacation, wherever they are.
Travel sluts aren’t oblivious to the world around them – there’s a couple of essential principles that ethical travel sluts ascribe to:
Health matters
Anyone who is sexually active should be testing regularly for STIs. If you’re planning on leaning in to the sexual opportunities that your travels might present to you, you’re going to want to get tested before you go and also when you get back home. Plus, you’re going to be up-to-speed with transmission prevention tools such as PrEP and TasP.
Lots of places now offer at-home testing for STIs.
Regular testing is the best way to stay on top of any risks associated with STIs.
Communication and consent
Even if you’ve got some language barriers to negotiate, consent still matters. If you’re navigating a sexual encounter and you’re not sure if the guy you’re with is giving you the green-light or not, pause, take a step back, and try and figure that out.
Equally, if you’re the one having second-thoughts, make sure that you’ve learned enough of the local language to be able to clearly say no if you’re not into what’s going down.
Self-Exploration and empowerment
One of the joys of travel is the opportunity to try new things and grow as a person. When you’re visiting a new destination, that could be as simple as exploring the local naked beach, or visiting the local bathhouse, or it could be experimenting with a kink that you haven’t previously had the chance to dabble in.
When you’re on vacation, it’s the perfect time to throw yourself in the deep-end.
At the very least, you’re going to have some good travel tales to share with your friends.
What is a sex vacation?
While pretty much any travel expedition can get a bit sexy, sometimes we plan our vacations around sex as the main activity and the main focus.
Maybe you’ve decided on a vacation where you know you’re going to be able to enjoy bathhouses or cruising on the beach, or maybe you’ve timed your travels to coincide with a specific event or festival that guarantees sex-positive spaces where you can unleash your testosterone.
It could be as simple as heading to a new city where you can put your hook-up app to work and just have the guys lining up outside your hotel room as you take on all-comers.
What are the packing essentials for a travel slut?
Fuckable resort wear
You want to look good but you also want everyone to know that you are available for a serious dicking-down. As the old adage goes, you are what you wear – so wear something that makes it clear that you’re a total slut for cock.
DoxyPEP
DoxyPEP is shorthand for Doxycycline that you can take after a sexual encounter to help prevent you from acquiring STIs.
The PEP stands for Post-Exposure Prophylaxis - you’re taking it after the event.
Talk to your doctor or a sexual health specialist to see if it’s something that’s right for you.
PrEP
If you’re HIV negative, then you’re going to want to have a supply of PrEP with you on your travels. You can take PrEP either daily or on an event-based dosage – it’s the most effective way to prevent the acquisition of HIV.
It’s also worth noting that people who are HIV positive and are taking medication are generally “undetectable” and unable to transmit the virus to anyone.
Sex toys
Whatever kind of sex that you’re into, sex toys and various accessories are always handy to help you douche your butt and stretch your hole a bit before heading out on the town.
Cock Rings
The best cock-rings serve the dual purpose of helping you maintain a hard cock while also looking good as a cool accessory that helps present your cock and balls at their best.
Power bank
It’s okay to be practical – there’s nothing sexy about finding yourself in unfamiliar surroundings with a phone that’s out of juice. Having a back-up power-bank in your backpack is just sensible planning when you’re heading out to a hook-up, bathhouse, or cruising park.
Hook-up app
Update your profile – let people know which travel destination that you’re heading to and start lining up your hook-ups with local guys before you’ve even checked into your hotel.
