Column: Road head is as dangerous as drunk driving, not worth it

By Gabie Bacques

With everyone back from long fall break road trips, this talk could not have come at a better time.

I took a road trip to Florida this weekend, and fortunately did not witness any funny business in the passing cars. Perhaps surprisingly, I never have observed the giving or receiving of oral or any other kind of sex while on the road.

That doesn’t convince me it isn’t out there.

Of all the dumb things to do while driving, performing or receiving sexual favors is without a doubt top three. Drunk driving and texting while driving are close by.

According to an USA Today article by Chris Woodyard, a study found that 15 percent of motorists surveyed have performed sexual acts while driving.

Honestly, who in their right mind would seriously do this? No offense to your lack of judgment, but is it really worth it? I’m sure some people would say yes — the same people who will be on the road drunk driving with their knees while texting this weekend. It’s no big deal.

First of all, I would like to know how anyone can drive while actually having sex. Apparently it is done, but I genuinely do not understand how. I’m sure the most common act is oral sex, or “road head.” I suppose this is a degree less hazardous than full-on, 60 mph intercourse. Still, can someone really concentrate on anything else while in the moment?

All signs point to no.

Other than the obvious distractions, receiving oral sex, from a male perspective, has other risks. A popular story covered by Sin Chew Daily and the China Press demonstrates the dangers of a man having his joystick bitten off as a result of the impact of a car accident while his partner was performing oral sex. That totally seems worth it.

I’m sure when a couple is bored on a long drive, it comes up.

For whatever reason, it sounds appealing. The same survey mentioned in the USA Today article also found 29 percent of the respondents admitted to kissing while driving. A quick peck may be harmless, as long as the driver doesn’t turn away from the road, but making out is a different story.

Unfortunately the survey does not specify what these individuals actually do or did, but let’s hope for the best.

If you are ever in a situation like this, just say no. If you have half the intellect of a Labrador retriever, wait it out. As with drinking or texting behind the wheel, or any other unimaginable, unnecessary act, injuring or killing yourself or someone else is just not worth it. If you feel otherwise, you don’t deserve to have a license.

Stop being irresponsible for momentary satisfaction and pay attention to what you’re doing. So many people have been hurt due to gratuitous events that could have been prevented.

If it really can’t wait, pull over and stop putting other people’s lives at stake for your own pleasure.
