The Mile High Club is a slang term for a group of people who have had sexual intercourse on board an aircraft in flight. The term is believed to have originated in the 1950s and has been used ever since. The supposed vibration of the plane is one of the alleged explanations for wanting to perform the act. Some people engage in the act due to fantasies about pilots or flight attendants, or a fetish about planes themselves, a type of mechanophilia. For others, the appeal of joining the Mile High Club is the thrill of doing something taboo and the risk of being discovered.
Some commercial enterprises cash in on peoples interest in joining the "club" by offering special charter flights designed for the purpose. Love Cloud, for example, offers a private airplane for 45 minutes so that couples can have sex in the air. The package comes with a commemorative membership card signed by the pilot.
Here are some fun facts about the Mile High Club:
- Not surprisingly, Sperry was also the Mile High Club’s very first member.
- There are actual airlines operating exclusively to help people get busy at altitude.
- Flying high makes for better orgasms.
- Disneyland had its own version of the Mile High Club.
- Singapore Air had to ban the Mile High Club.
Its worth noting that the Mile High Club is not a real club, and its not something that airlines or flight attendants condone.
