Having sex on the dining room table is a fantasy many people have. It can be a lot of fun, if for no other reason than it gets you out of the bedroom and spices up your routine. But Thanksgiving table sex? We wonder how many have tried that out! 
We say go for it and we’ve got some tips and things to think about:
1) Make sure everyone is asleep. This seems as obvious as the “caution: hot coffee” warning—but there’s always someone who screws it up.
2) Eat some of these sensual Thanksgiving foods. Many Thanksgiving staples are natural aphrodisiacs and sexual stimulants. Sneak a couple figs or celery stalks before climbin’ on the table.
3) UNset the table. If you have a compulsive mother like we do, chances are the table will be set the night before. Carefully remove the antique tablecloth, the fine china, and the cornucopia before corn-oh-coping.
4) Don’t use gravy as lube. Just don’t.
5) Private vs. Public. There are things to do in public and things to do in private. Remember you’re choosing to do a very private thing in a public place. Make sure you don’t leave any clues behind!
6) Hush, hush. Sometimes it’s hard to keep a good secret. But don’t tell—don’t even hint about it with generic statements like “We had fun last night!”
