Sex above Cincinnati

Mile High Club booming in Cincinnati – USATODAY.com

Who of us never wanted to be a pilot when they were young? Just the idea of flying was enough for me to get excited, never mind that in a few years mass media would join flying and getting laid into the same thought.

Many people move past the idea, because they learn to hate flying for a myriad of reasons. To them it seems insane to work in a place that demeans every aspect of personal freedom and logic. Other people move past the idea because they found something else that gets them laid without all the work, mainly alcohol.

I like the idea that this couple took their passion for flying and are helping (and profiting on) people's obsession to join the mysterious and not so secret mile high club. I like the idea of buying this pilot several rounds of beers and listening to his stories even better (see the article link above for a taste).

What happens when these people find out that their love life still sucks a mile off the ground? How upset would you be that $425 of your paycheck just got cashed finding out that your wife still only likes the missionary position? How upset would you be that $425 of your paycheck just got cashed finding out that your husband still doesn't wash his balls?

The problem with the mile high club is that it is an illusion. Even with its popularity and elder age, we still picture mile high club members as being the untouchables that are already drinking martinis as you struggle to get your child strapped in to their seat. They're sitting in first class playing poker, smoking cigars and the flight attendants dance around them. Want to see a recent example of this? Watch this clip from Iron Man 2.



Want to know who's really in the mile high club? Check out that overweight man scratching his ass in the Walmart express lane. You know the woman at work who always has plans for the weekend, but never talks about them?

The hot girl down the street? Nope. The gorgeous quarterback? Nope.

It's the ugly people of America. They're the members of the mile high club.

The pilot boasts that they have taken thousands of said cruises around Cincinnati's airspace. There's not that many beautiful people. It's everyday people like you, me and all the people we talk about.

And don't forget the Christians... "We are actually associated with several marriage encounter groups at various churches," The pilot says, in the linked article from the USA Today.

The mile high club is an illusion, just like the bikini. It looks great when you tailor make it for a body that took a week long search for, but the images will still need to be airbrushed. How about a lazy afternoon at the beach. How many of those bikini bodies really get you excited?

All the wrong people are doing it.

I hope that one day I'll see a taxi driving down the street offering its backseat as a way to rekindle the marriage. This could be a great way for transportation services to boost revenue. They wouldn't even need to take anyone farther than a loop around the block. They just need to let them come for a ride.

The mile high club...still want to join?
