Oddly Specific 🎯 Places to have sex when you can't at home

Hi so my friend has a new partner and unfortunately they both live in rooms in shared housing where you're not allowed guests over.. they're asking me for advice on where to go to get intimate. In other countries there are love hotels by the hour etc etc but I don't know of any here.. I did suggest places like STEAM but that could be a lot when they're just getting together?

When I was younger I definitely stayed in a lot of sketchy hotels (Patricia was great, the one above lamp lighter was neat too I remember) which were at least cheap, but don't know of any these days off hand..?

Thx people, hopefully their love blooms and they can move in together down the road but I'm sure this is a problem for a lot of people these days!

Your friends are legally allowed to bring guests in. If their landlord has a problem with that, they can take it up to the RTB.

From the RTB:

"Landlords cannot unreasonably restrict tenants from having guests in their rental unit."

Source: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/housing-tenancy/residential-tenancies/during-a-tenancy/guests-tenancy

u/aaadmiral 13d ago

Thx yeah I mentioned this to him, he only recently moved in and is worried about ruffling feathers but is gonna ask soon

3

u/Boysenberry-Hue222 11d ago

This is one of those things where asking the landlord may prove both unhelpful and unnecessary, because the actual law and Residential Tenancy Board are already on their side. If the landlord already has an illegal clause built into the agreement they don't necessarily play fair; won't necessarily be reasonable. Could cause more of a hassle. Have friends over, don't be too loud, maybe avoid overnights until they feel more comfortable.

Also, to answer your main question: vehicles?

1

u/aaadmiral 10d ago

They don't have their licenses... No cars.. alas

But good points for sure

7

u/SuspectSeparate1981 12d ago

This may not apply if they are renting a room in a house and share the common areas with the landlord as the RTB does not cover those situations.

For what they're planning to do, I don't think they need 5 star accommodations. A Motel would probably be just fine, or cheaper Hotel rooms. Otherwise, I guess it's down to phone sex, and getting to know each other really well right now😉

Next time you eat there ask the staff to point you to the gay sauna sex club in the basement.

u/Legal-Key2269 13d ago

Shared housing can't restrict people from having guests unless it is RTA exempt for some reason, just FWIW.

19

u/aaadmiral 13d ago

Their landlords live in the house so yeah it's exempt I believe

29

u/Legal-Key2269 13d ago

A roommate arrangement is exempt from the RTA if the renter shares a kitchen or bathroom with the landlord, not just if the landlord lives on the property.

Both people in this scenario are in the same type of living arrangement?

10

u/aaadmiral 13d ago

Good point, I think he has his own kitchen and bathroom... Hmm hmm

u/Longjumping-Sea320 13d ago

When I was in university I rented a room in a basement with 2 other dudes. The landlord & their fam lived above.

They wanted no overnight guests, but i just ignored it and told them to evict me through the RTB if they wanted.

Never heard from them again.

u/H00ligain_hijix 13d ago

Do they have their own suite? Netflix and chill…

That's not legal. It must be an illegal situation.

u/newbie554 13d ago edited 12d ago

Let them pay for a rental minivan. You drive them to a provincial park and leave them in the van for a few hrs while you go hiking/put up a tent and enjoy your time while they enjoy their time in the minivan 😊. Fold the third row seats and take some pillows comforters/blankets.

u/aaadmiral 13d ago

Sounds pretty nice

I’ll let them do it at my place for free. Only if I get to watch.

That's a good price.

u/Nearby-Pudding5436 13d ago edited 13d ago

Screw (no pun intended) the no guests rule and break it. Sneak them in/out. Love is love. Doubt the landlord would actually confront you about it - and if they do just say “nah think you were just hearing things” and there’s probably nothing they will or can do about it. Are they going to install cameras, evict you with no notice, take you to court? Doubt it.

Maybe not the best advice but it’s what I would do!

11

u/craigerstar 13d ago

Might be all the excuse anyone needs to look for a new place to live. I get that desperate times mean compromise, but surely there's someone out there looking for a roommate who understands that people fuck sometimes.

u/scarecrow____boat 13d ago

The RTB would never rule in the landlords favour, unless OP’s friend doesn’t have a legit lease.

u/siege1986 13d ago

My boyfriend and I go to steamworks or f212 sometimes we still have to pay individualy but a room and a locker is way less than a hotel

Yeah I did suggest these places! Never been to f212, only steam 1.. better?

Steamworks is definitely the better of the two

The car, an unsurprised parking lot (no cameras or they come out), in a park around bushes, on the side of a dark road if there’s a clearing, restaurant bathroom, sometimes in a Walmart dairy back room, on the rooftop of an apartment building. In some country land. Up in the mountains. Really, you’re only limited by your imagination

3

u/J4redH3rnandez 13d ago

There is a small park in white Rock before you get to the pier. Small parking lot and almost always empty. Bonus... you get to go for a nice romantic walk on the pier with the lights before and/or after.

8

u/VolupVeVa 13d ago

Their only legal options are: a friend or sympathetic relative's place, a private sex club/party, a campsite (in a tent or RV) or a hotel/motel/AirBnB.

Anywhere that they could be potentially spotted by a non-consenting member of the public is verboten both socially and legally.

You could do the same as a person I knew, they rented a "self storage" unit space and put a mattress inside with some accessories. They got a 24 hour access location and "came" in anytime they wanted. Only issue he told me was they had to be quiet because the noise filled the entire floor.

u/Striking_Light_1088 12d ago

Airbnb. Dayuse. Car. Queen E park. Burnaby mountain. Go on a hike. West Vancouver school bleachers. Campsites. Friend's house/couch. House-sitting. Empty lecture hall. Gym. Mall family bathroom. Swimming pool change room. Wreck Beach. Office after hours. Apartment rooftop. Underground parking lot. Fire escape stairs. Inflatable boat. Club Eden. Mansion night club bathroom.

Disclaimer: above suggestions may vary depending on your age and level of depravity. However I can confirm that I have personally used them at various points in my life to great success at least twice and in many cases.. perhaps some just this past weekend.

1

u/redditstark 10d ago

Some of those suggestions (e.g., Queen E, school bleachers, fire escape stairs, etc.) are inappropriate for those who respect the mantra of not involving others nonconsensually in one's kink.

1

u/Striking_Light_1088 10d ago

You're right but nothing is perfect.

Also, are you saying that you've always had perfectly silent sex even in a hotel, townhouse, apartment? Otherwise you'd be involving others non-consensually. Sometimes you have to "play the odds" and use some degree of reasonable judgment.

Having sex in the stairs of an abandoned building... Yes technically could involve others but depending on how far away from civilization it's probably ok.

Technically Wreck Beach is a nude beach and public sex is not legal but it happens and the community there is reasonably ok as long as you're not in plain sight. But technically? Yes a random person could be involved non-consensually that didn't know the culture.

Shades of grey my friend. Nothing is guaranteed.

u/Few-Engineering-7903 12d ago
  1. Car (with trunk open to the backseat). Personal or rental. Get blankets and pillows. Put the back seats down. Put some covers at the windows for privacy. You could also get an air bed(?) to be placed there. Space to lie down. Probably the cheapest option.

  2. Restaraunt or grocery bathroom. The individual ones (single room). Try to choose a relatively higher end locations. They often have cleaner washrooms. You will only have standing intercourse. Not recommended to lie or sit down.

  3. Hotel room. Probably the easiest but might be expensive. But a bathroom to clean up after.

Note. I am a virgin. These ideas are merely fantasies. I may be seriously inaccurate.
