Want to spice up date night or just enjoy a little pleasure outside your own four walls? That's what public play is all about. Come along as I discuss what public play is, how to enjoy it, and the best toys for discreet public pleasure. 

What Is Public Play?

Public play describes playing solo or with a partner in a public setting. The allure of public play is typically the excitement and taboo of introducing sexual pleasure into ordinary settings, such as a:

• Nightclub
• Park 
• Restaurant
• Hiking trail
• Drive-in movie theater
• Car
• Party

Public play adds an element of risk that can intensify arousal through what's called "excitation transfer." In essence, our bodies confuse the thrill of potential danger with sexual excitement, creating a heightened physical response. This can be the case even if you choose to play in a relatively safe place like a drive-in movie theater or deserted outdoor area. 

The Art of Discretion in Public Play

Consent is a crucial part of any type of play. Consent becomes even more important when it involves play that could unwittingly involve bystanders who haven't consented and don't want to be involved. For this reason, discretion must be a top priority during public play.

How to be as discreet as possible? Here are some ideas:

• Test out any toy you plan to use at home first. Become familiar with how it feels and operates before you try it in public
• Choose a spot that's off the beaten path, at least for the first few times
• Play in a place where people are less likely to notice, such as a crowded nightclub or concert
• Pick a quiet, easily hidden toy designed for public play
• Use an app-controlled toy that can be operated by phone rather than a handheld remote than may be obvious to onlookers
