Have you ever written about sex in a very cold place?

[TheNovelist2000]

I’m thinking about writing a story that involves a retreat in a freezing mountain cabin (in a country like Norway), and I realised that I don’t really know what it’s like having sex in a very cold place. I have my imagination, but I like to add little realistic details. So, have you ever had sex in a very cold place, and is there any difference compared to sex at normal temperature?

Here are some questions to anchor your thoughts:

Do you take off your clothes at all? Do you just pull your pants down enough to pull out your dick and then tug her panties beneath her skirt to fuck? Or do you take them off completely?

Do you immediately put on clothes afterward if you choose to go naked during sex?

And what about showers? I guess you’d shower less in a mountain retreat—do you still make an effort to shower before sex, or do you just not smell because of the cold?

Is sticking two naked bodies together under the sheets warmer than layering up individually?

Can people have sex beside/on a frozen lake or in the snow, or is that just stupid? I’m thinking about frostbite.

And feel free to share any other details you've thought of.

Never in anger by Jean Briggs describes how Inuit people have sex in an igloo. The building is made of snow and has to be kept below freezing inside. They either remain fully dressed and couple through their flies, or stay under the covers.

It's widely taught in survival courses that two people under the covers together are warmer than either individually. It's a matter of surface area to volume ratio. Also, if one is closer than the other, the best way to share heat is skin to skin.

Cuddling under thick, warm blankets in a cold room is lovely, and as things heat up with your partner the blankets can be thrown off so you stay cool without sweating. Caresses feel so much nicer when skin isn't all sticky with sweat. When you are both satisfied you can cool down for a few minutes in open air, then pull the blankets back up and resume cuddling.

Sounds interesting. I might give it a go.

There's shivering and making yourself smaller to conserve warmth even with clothes on and if you keep a coat on, there's clothing obstruction issues.
To answer your individual questions:

Long thick thigh highs are a good way to avoid freezing cold legs while wearing a skirt in these situations, garter belt optional, but fun as long as the doohickeys are plastic and not metal, 'cause the metal hurts when it gets cold enough. Pulling panties aside can work just as well. Most guys have not taken their pants off or even dropped them down, just unzipped, tugged a little and went for it. I don't recommend nudity in very cold weather where bodily fluids are exchanged.

Hot tubs for warmth are wonderful things in winter. Showers less so because you just get freezing again when you step out from under the water for more than a few seconds.

Depends on the bodies. Apparently, I can cause warm blankets to turn into ice blocks with the touch of my hand on my husband's back or stomach. (He has lept out of the bed before and denied me bonus warmth.) But typically, as long as neither of you get particularly cold hands or feet, it is warmer together than individually unless mummy wrapped in a blanket or ten.

on a frozen lake would be a good recipe for sudden ice cracks and added suspense, but I otherwise wouldn't recommend. Not only because of the frostbite risk, but because whoever's on bottom is not going to have a good time as the only thing on their mind is going to be "cold, cold, cold... so fucking cold... and now wet 'cause body heat is melting the snow. Fuck."

I love winter. I love the snow, have had sex in the snow numerous times and every single time with a few different guys, it went poorly. One time it was so cold he couldn't get it up because his torso couldn't spare the blood to extremities. Another time I was literally shivering so much there was an aiming issue. Then there's the time it all went smoothly until he came and I had to walk back to my house feeling like a specific line on my thigh was sporting an icicle.

I love the snow more from inside a hot tub.

Next to a big picture window with pretty snow outside is aces. Being in the snow can be fun for snowball fights and sledding and such. Fucking in the snow can be an interesting experience, but also pretty much just "meh" enjoyment wise unless protected from the chill factor by things like sleeping bags, tents, waterproof clothes, etc.

Lovely! That sounds just like me sleeping alone with the air conditioning blasting full-on.

Thank you very much. This will not only help me get the facts right in the story, but it has also taught me some interesting new things. And a lovely medical fact—I didn’t know you can temporarily get impotence in the cold because the body prioritises blood flow to more important organs.

From your premise, the cabin wouldn't be ice cold. There you can have the naked frolicking in front of the fire. Outside, no getting naked, no lying down, doggy style works wherever with minimal undressing unless it's ridiculously cold. So have quickies outside on the lake or against a tree or something, and slower leisurely naked things inside beside fireplace or in bed. You wouldn't shower outside, and inside wouldn't be cold, and also this is why we have saunas in Finland and I suppose Norway too. (No sex in the sauna though, that's heart attack/heat stroke material, but it makes for good visuals.)

No you dont take your clothes off. You can kinda pull down what you have to and make do.
IF you take them off completely you make sure you are under a lot of blankets or in a big sleeping bag

Do you immediately put on clothes afterward if you choose to go naked during sex?

Depends on the situation, but yes.
But if under a ton of blankets you lay very close and cuddle.

And what about showers? I guess you’d shower less in a mountain retreat—do you still make an effort to shower before sex, or do you just not smell because of the cold?

Nah if you are horny you just fuck
And kinda depends on the place, is it a decent shower? If not, is it worth the hassle?

Is sticking two naked bodies together under the sheets warmer than layering up individually?

Can be yes, absolutely

Can people have sex beside/on a frozen lake or in the snow, or is that just stupid? I’m thinking about frostbite.

Nope. Bad idea!

And feel free to share any other details you've thought of.

If it is really cold etc, oral sex is not that fun. Stick to fucking where your bodies touch as much as possible.
The key is that your bodies are close as much as they csn.

Maybe with the door open....

Ok! That makes a lot of sense.

 

[Omenainen]

Noooo the heat will get out

Depends on who's doing it. Anyone who's grown up in sauna-using areas would have their mother's voice at the back of their head going OVI KIINNI LÖYLY KARKAA (close the door, the heat escapes) and that's not sexy at all. Also depends on where the sauna is at, because letting out hot moist air into structures not meant for it will cause damage.

If you want my take on your finished piece, write it for Pink Orchid and ask me to beta read.

I still don't know how the story will pan out. If it meets the criteria for Pink Orchid, I'll contact you for sure.

I'm certainly camping here. Quite a number of my favorites are sex stories set in winter cabins.

A number of my all-time favorite movies are parties in cabins.

What are you planning, TheNovelist2000

Definitely not parties. It's gonna be a LW story. A man and someone's wife.

 

[Kumquatqueen]

If you're in a cabin or any sort of building, and have a couple blankets, let alone decent bedding, then two people keeping each other warm while under them will work just fine - though keeping socks on is likely, and putting some layers back on before trying to sleep is a good idea.

If camping, you're more likely to keep clothes on your top halves and feet, and maybe just push trousers down. If it's that cold, a woman won't be wearing skirts in the modern day! Especially if they've been hiking.

Ive written a fair few stories with people huddled up against the cold. In contrast I don't find heat conducive to sex, though I have written sex in a sauna (not just to wind up Omen!)

I mean… this is a very important thing to consider. They won’t be hiking much—they’ll mostly stay in the cabin and explore the woods a little. They’ll be there for a few weeks. I can imagine them fishing or doing chores, like washing clothes in a stream. What exactly do people wear in that situation? I can see them wearing windbreakers and jeans (or leggings for the wife) outside, but inside, wouldn’t they wear normal clothes? Maybe with the additions of fleece sweater or jacket, a pom-pom hat, and socks to stay warm.

I beg to differ on this under certain circumstances. I lived in what was essentially an unheated uninsulated log cabin for about a little over a year with my uncle. Showers are warm. Stepping foot outside of where the water hits is like showering with the windows wide open. It's so so bad.

Some cabins are a lot better built and insulated than others! I lived in an uninsulated unheated loft for a while - the shower was downstairs with unlimited hot water, so in the mornings I'd reach a hand out to switch on the electric radiator by my bed, so it would heat up my clothes, grab towels and run downstairs, warm up in the shower, get dry, then run up and get dressed as fast as possible, return downstairs for breakfast. I moved as soon as we got to November.

A cabin that's basically a shed is similar to a tent - same temperature as outside, and our couple will have to keep their heat in under blankets or similar. A decently built and insulated cabin is a different matter - or even a stone bothy, once a fire is going. Naked sex in front of a fireplace is feasible, there. Of course someone else might walk into the bothy, or lost hikers might wander into the cabin looking for help... free plot bunny for y'all.

Inside quite often as a woman you wear big thick wool socks, long johns, t-shirt and a big sweater.
But depends on the cabin. But often you just wear long johns and no pants.

I've done the "it's so cold we have to share a sleeping bag" trope. And "the desert night is too cold to do anything but stay wrapped in our blankets." Even though in my limited experience the desert night was barely any cooler than the day.

Good tropes, though what I have in mind is totally different.

An insulated cabin with a wood stove can be quite warm. Unless you are really roughing it, you need to keep the cabin above freezing or you have no water.

If you have a sauna, it is not unusual in Norway to go jump in a lake (or ocean). But brrrrrr, hugs and rubs but no sex. Save that for warming up. If no lake, then roll in the snow. You can have quick sex if you are ready to go.

The cabin often could have minimal electric heat to save the pipes, and rely on a fireplace or small wood stove. Long underwear is worn most of the time. Easy to pull down for quick sex. In the morning add wood then take a hot shower (hopefully not alone).

Sex in front of the fireplace is great. Covers are good, naked is better, wrestling for position. Fire on one side, and, “fire in the heart” on the other. After, snuggle with covers.

Cutting firewood and cross country skiing gets you very warm. Outdoor sex is fine in a sunny day with light wind. Not naked but lower your pants. Keep coats on and lay on the edge of a woodpile (rock, etc) while the guy stands. Doggie works too.

I wrote some of these and others in my story, Searching for Amarillo, Part 1.

Just want to put out there that this is fiction and if people can write stories where three extremely attractive young women can't get enough of some middle aged shlub, we can extend that to sex working in a cold place. I wouldn't over think it unless you're getting ridiculous and having them have sex in a frozen pond. Cold would affect the man more than the woman when performing, but this is Lit and no man is anything but a super stud so that should not be a concern.

Just roll with it.
