Does Zoe Saldana have the right idea when it comes to healthy sex?

Actress Zoe Saldana admitted in a satellite radio interview recently that she hasn’t been shy in the past when it comes to crazy places to have sex.

According to the Latina beauty, she’s not only a member of the Mile High Club (meaning she’s had sex in an airplane while in-flight), she’s also been intimate with a partner between train cars traveling from Coney Island to Queens.

“The craziest place [I’ve had sex] — I am a part of the Mile High Club,” she explained, adding,“Okay, this is ghetto, but hey, I’m from Queens, whatever. There is a train from Coney Island all the way back into the city, and in between two train cars. It was super ghetto.”

Now that’s she’s married, however, Saldana indicates that she’s changed her adventurous ways when it comes to public sex, stating, “But I’m a lady now. I’m a lady.”

The benefits of adventurous sex

Even though Zoe Saldana says her public sex days are behind her, sexual health experts tend to encourage couples who have been together for a while to become more adventurous in the bedroom. Not only does the practice further allow the couple to bond by trying something new together, it can add a sense of excitement that only comes from something being perceived as risky.

This doesn’t mean that public sex is the way to go–even though the practice is becoming very common among younger individuals, according to sex columnist David Matteson. What it does mean is that something perceived as risky by the partners involved can be all it takes to spice things up a bit.

“Sex in public is often frowned upon as illegal and primitive,” Matteson wrote in his column. “But those two justifications are exactly what make it so exciting. It’s fast, dirty and fun ? but the trick is not getting caught.”

But what about those people who just aren’t ready to hop on a subway train and take the chance a few hundred people might see their bare bottoms? Rest assured, there are other, milder ways to create the sensation of adventure in the bedroom.

• Have sex outside: According to Men’s Health, sex outside can be one of the most adventurous ways to spice things up with a partner. It can be done with little risk of being caught, but being outside creates that fear that someone may, by chance, be around.
• Make a video: What’s more risky than making a sex video that could possibly make it into the wrong hands? Even if you trust your partner, this form of adventure will carry with it a little fear of being found out, but it may also bring out your best as you know you are being filmed.
• Don’t be afraid to dress up: Want to be a little more bold in public but maybe aren’t quite ready to do it so the neighbors recognize you? Don’t be afraid to dress up. Role playing can be a freeing experience, and it also provides a great disguise so if you do get caught doing something embarrassing, you don’t have to worry about your co-workers finding out.
• Try a new sex position: The fear of the unknown can be what makes a new sex position exciting and “risky.” Both partners assume it will be pleasurable, but neither really knows what to expect. Just remember that a new position doesn’t have to be risky as in potentially dangerous to your health?stick with a safe move that won’t leave you answering embarrassing emergency room questions later.
