There’s something in the air this time of year, and no, I’m not just talking about the pollen. If you’ve recently been unable to shake a certain horniness coupled with the sudden urge to blow your life savings on every impossibly cute, spaghetti-strapped minidress Reformation has in stock, you’re not alone. It’s not you; it’s Railed in a Sundress Season.
Indeed, the horniest time of the year is officially upon us—a time to select your date night outfits not with the intention of taking them off, but of leaving them on, if you catch my drift. As Railed in a Sundress realheads know, the only thing hotter than a dress on the floor is one that’s hiked up just enough to allow for easy entry.
It’s a time-honored annual tradition, one that perhaps most memorably made the rounds a few years ago when TikTok’s “sundress challenge” urged the intrepid and horny to get it on in public under the semi-privacy of this summer wardrobe staple. While the prudes over at TikTok did their best to ban the challenge from the platform, enthusiasm for all manner of sundress debauchery remains an internet mainstay this time of year—to the extent that it’s become an annual meme that people low-key love to hate. (You know, the way Twitter is basically required to hate anything that gets too popular.)
But look, while I get that the sundress fantasy is hardly original—people have been boning under the cover of flowy skirts for as long as there have been sex and sundresses—it’s a classic for a goddamn reason. There’s the sort of girl-next-doorish innocence veiling a world of horny hedonism beneath, the sneaky public sex (which, ahem, we technically cannot condone for, uh, legal reasons), not to mention the versatility! You can get railed in a sundress standing up, from behind, in a car, lying down on a baseball field *or* bent over in the dugout, or, my personal fave, sitting legs-spread on a dresser in a fancy hotel room getting plowed against the TV. (Just me?) Tell me, Twitter, what’s not to love?
In honor of this sacred seasonal sex act, we’ve asked sundress railers and railees alike to share their horniest tales of sex in summer’s favorite outfit. May these sultry sexperiences serve as your inspiration to go forth and get railed in your own sundress of choice—or at least pull the trigger on that one that’s been sitting in your Reformation cart. You deserve it.
1.“Most of the time it’s just hot because someone wants to rail you so badly they don’t even want to take your clothes off. But honestly, it’s also a great (and sneaky) way to have public sex. The last time, it wasn’t even that public, we were just so horned up that it happened. Something about a cute tiny sundress and your partner bending you over is hot.” —Christa, 30
2. “My date and I were DMing about what we wanted to wear to an upcoming sex party. The theme was Spring Fling and the second she mentioned ‘sundress,’ I was drooling. I don’t know why, but a sundress has always been such a sexy piece of clothing. Something about the idea of being hidden under one while doing wonderfully naughty things was a fantasy of mine (and, thankfully, one of hers too). The best part was when I was under the dress having my face ridden. The sensory deprivation of not being able to see or hear with her thighs clenched around my head made the taste of her squirting all the more powerful. That’s what’s so enticing about a sundress, it seems so innocent, but underneath is a world of possible filthiness.” —Kyle, 30
3. “We were driving back from a wedding and she had on a yellow sundress. It was just…‘girly.’ She had dark brown hair and the faded yellow against her skin was pretty without trying to be, if that makes sense. Eventually we had to pull over and we both climbed into the back. I flipped up her dress and we went at it. It was summer in Virginia so we were both sweaty already. Just kind of a, ‘Oh, who cares’ moment.” —Dean*, 42
4. “This is one of my favorite things to have done to me and to remember/fantasize about for a guaranteed instant orgasm. A good sundress railing is the first sign that summer is here, and it’s going to be a HOT one! I like for it to happen outside, either on a balcony or rooftop or poolside—so there’s a bit of exhibitionism and the feeling that you might get caught.” —Anna, 43
5. “I literally have a sundress that I bought specifically to be my date dress and I only wear it when I intend to have it hiked TF up.” —Beth, 26
6. “I was at a skydiving event. As a female skydiver, I often have my pick of the litter. It’s like a kid in the candy store, and I spend all week skydiving all day and fucking all night. One night a potential fuck toy and I went out to go ‘moon the windows,’ aka when skydivers go into the plane at night, pull down their pants and stick their butts in the windows while people take pics from the outside. I wore my cute sundress for easy access—ideal for a discreet plane fuck. When everyone was finished with the moon pics, I said ‘We should go fuck in the plane.’ He was down. He bent me over and lifted up my sundress and fucked me like the slut I am.” —Rebecca*, 42
7. “I’ve been railed in sundresses many times and love how easy it makes car sex. I also love wearing no panties underneath. There’s something incredibly hot about the wind on your naked butt as someone grabs your hips to kiss you and the dress lifts up a bit and you can tell they just want to rip it off. It makes sex in public spaces wayyy easier, so suddenly a good parking lot or an empty alley become very tempting.” —Ella, 23
8. “What I like the most about a woman wearing a sundress is that it hints at what’s under the dress, but leaves just enough to my imagination.” —Tenchi, 30
9. “I actually had sundress sex on my partner’s SUV on the side of the road. I think the best part was him knowing how easy-access it was—that I could just bend over the front of the car and we could easily stop if anyone drove past. I don’t know if it’s the heat or feeling like you’re wearing almost nothing, but I immediately get turned on by the thought that I can just throw a sundress on and wait to see how long it takes my partner to notice I’m not wearing underwear.” —Megan, 32
10. “My ex-girlfriend knew that I love sundresses. Every time I see a woman walk by in a sundress I just think, ‘I wonder what she tastes like.’ One day we went for a walk in the park, my GF wearing the thinnest of sundresses, and found ourselves in a semi-secluded space. We just looked at each other like, We have to fuck. She gave me this look and I just lifted up her dress and ripped off her panties. I had her up against a tree and we were just going at it. Every time she wore a sundress I just couldn’t resist. I just had to rail her. Up against a car, a tree, it did not matter. If the wind just caught a bit of that sundress, forget it.” —Jon, 27
