And as the flight attendant opened the lavatory door…

This video was posted on social media over the weekend, and … hoo boy …

Let me explain.

Apparently there’s a very specific taboo fetish involving having sex with a total stranger in an airplane bathroom. It’s colloquially called the “Mile High Club,” and it’s been the subject of countless rumors, untold porno movies, and a multitude of “I never thought this would happen to me” letters in Penthouse Forum.

But that’s all just rumors and stories, right? Two people getting freaky in an airplane stall? There’s barely enough room for one person, and those airplane lavatories are barely large enough for you to drop your pants and drop a deuce, let alone do position #37 in the Kama Sutra (which, from what I understand, involves a LOT of flexibility).

And what do you get for participating in the Mile High Club? Does the airline provide you with little metal pilot’s wings with the number “69” printed on them? Do you get a commemorative copy of Coffee, Tea, or Me? if you do the horizontal mambo with a flight attendant? Or better yet … does the automatic pilot work if the physical pilot is “coming in for a landing” with someone in economy class? Wait, wait – this is the best one. If you read Fear of Flying, and then get your boom-boom on while the plane IS flying, does it actually cure your fear of flying? What can I say, I’m just a little old zipless Chuck. 😀

Well … apparently this little incident happened over the weekend on an EasyJet flight. Several of the passengers noticed that the plane’s lavatory seemed to be occupied, and whoever was in there either had a tremendous amount of constipation, or was in deep prayer to the holy god of porcelain.

So the passengers asked a flight attendant to check on the situation.

And as someone fired up their camera phone …

This happened.

Holy 5,280 feet in the air, Batman!

Well, it does answer at least a FEW questions – including …

  • Apparently you don’t need to take off ALL your clothes to participate in the Mile High Club. Just drop your pants and have at it.
  • We also seem to have figured out the best position for optimal entertainment in such cramped quarters. Apparently it AIN’T position #37.
  • EasyJet’s bathroom door locks need maintenance. Oops.
  • I doubt that those two “lovebirds” were that concerned about turbulence. Or maybe they were HOPING for some turbulence, you don’t know. Freakies gotta freak, right?
  • And would it have hurt them to at least wear some face masks? Not just to protect against COVID-19, but come on, when was the last time that bathroom was properly sanitized?

Then again … all I’m going to add to this little blog post is …

If something like this happens again, I hope it’s on a flight to New Zealand.

Because … well, check out their in-flight safety video and you’ll see what I mean.
