5 Tips for Safe Vacation Hookups
Practice safe sex first.
This is always number one, whether at home with your monogamous wife, or with La Femme Nikita on a kinky getaway.
Pack your own condoms and any other STI or pregnancy preventives you use routinely.
In come countries, it’s hard to find condoms or you can’t be sure they haven’t been sitting on a dusty shelf for twelve years. Be confident with your own.
It also doesn’t hurt to do some risk research first. How many people on average have HIV where you’re going? Are other STIs really common? If so, what are they? How are they transmitted? Are there other infectious diseases endemic to where you’re staying?

Check out what’s legal and what isn’t.
There are many places where it’s illegal to have sex without being married, or illegal to have sex with someone of the same gender.
Different kinks and fetishes are better tolerated in some places than others.
Do your research before planning your kinky vacation hookup. Reach out to the kink communities where you’re headed online, and ask questions and advice.
Travel light for your kinky vacation.
Taking a dungeon in your suitcase is tempting, but be prepared to answer a lot of embarrassing questions at customs.
Again, some places will have restrictions on what you want to pack. There are places where a simple dildo is illegal. Drawing a lot of attention to yourself and your private sexual proclivities might not be wise.
You might choose instead a destination where access to the kinds of props and toys you want is easy. Or you might want to be flexible and improvise when you’re there.

Beware of scams and of slaves.
You might be looking for a BDSM slave for your vacation hookup, but it’s all about consent. Unfortunately, there are lots of sex slaves who are slaves for real.
You might be tempted by solicitation or promises of your wildest dreams, but be aware that local sex workers might be trafficked.
There are also scams, where your kinky temporary girlfriend is not a victim, but you are!
Watch your drinks, and don’t let your vanity cloud your judgement if a hottie is coming on strong. There are con artists who use sex to get to your wallet. When you tell the cops a little blonde drugged you and cleaned out your credit cards, you’ll be laughed at. Watch your back.
Use kinky dating sites to make connections before you go.
Chatting with someone online can still mean scams, and you’ll still need safe sex, but it is by far the best way to proceed. You are able to connect with people in any part of the world, find like-minded fetishists, and get feedback from others.
Lots of online communities have scam alerts or share information about bad kinky hookups or just hang out together the way friends do in person, only online. You are able to network and connect in ways that are impossible otherwise.
