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 this is a beautiful Chevrolet
1956 the KY industry should be my
partner in the sexual revolution 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 so
dad do you think I can have the car
tonight what do you want with the car
gee dad girls won’t go out with a felon
les 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 just two people by
themselves you had to have a chaperone
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 Doughty
Model T to the curvaceous crumb dripping
beauties in 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
repressed 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
