Places to Make Out: Lodhi Gardens, New Delhi

filed under: Jet Sex by Lux Nightmare

From 2/18 to 2/25, Lux traveled through India, hitting up Delhi, Agra, and Varanasi. This week she reports back on her experiences.

Should you find yourself feeling amorous in New Delhi, you might want to head over to Lodhi Gardens. This beautiful park, dotted with tombs dating back to the 16th century, is a favorite spot for local lovebirds. According to my Delhi sources, late afternoon on the weekends is prime time for Lodhi Garden make outs: as the happy families pack up their picnic baskets and head home, couples start to make themselves more comfortable, hiding under their blankets, heading for the bushes, and getting down to some good old fashioned public loving.

These amorous outings aren’t just driven by exhibitionism: for many couples, they’re born out of simple necessity. Since most young Indians live with their parents, heading home for a quicky isn’t really an option; and a motel — even a sleazy motel — is a bit of a stretch for an Indian budget. Enter Lodhi Gardens: scenic, romantic, and with plenty of bushes and hideaways for discreet (or not so discreet) afternoon love.

Public sex is often associated with cruising — but the vibe at Lodhi Gardens is more about connecting with an established partner than finding a new one. Lodhi Gardens doesn’t act as host for a casual pickup scene, it provides a semi-private retreat for lovers who lack access to a private space of their own. When private space is at a premium, public space often steps in to make up the difference: as a result, Lodhi Gardens has become the Make Out Point of New Delhi.
