Sex on Wheels | Original Sin: Sex

Another 20th century triumph of technology was quickly co-opted for sex.

Weighing in at a ton or more, it became one of the all-time biggest fetish objects.

“Gee, this is a beautiful car, Chevrolet 1956. Nice! The car industry should be my partner in the sexual evolution.”

A man like you, I mean with a car like this?

I often ask students, “What is an automobile for?”

And I'll usually get some answer like, “It's for the transportation from point A to point B.”

But for a 16-year-old kid, the automobile is about freedom.

It's a place that they can get to without being under the eye of their parents.

“Say, Dad, do you think I could have the car tonight?”

“What do you want with the car?”

“Gee, Dad, girls won't go out with a fella unless he's got a car!”

“You're too young to be running around in cars at night with girls.”

“I'm 16, aren't I?”

Before the car, people didn't date just two people by themselves.

You had to have a chaperon, or the person had to come to your home.

There was no expectation of privacy.

When the car became widely available, now you have a rolling bedroom.

In a time of sexual repression, America's crush on the car was there for all to see.

In its evolution from the dowdy Model T to the curvaceous chrome-dripping beauties of the 1950s,

the car was more than transportation; it was sex on wheels.

The car as a mobile hotel, motel, little screw palace is an ingenious invention.

I imagine people in the 50s being so oppressed and having nowhere to go,

and then going and parking somewhere and then doing it in the car and fogging up the windows.

I guess you could say the car played a pretty big role in the sexual revolution.
