For Novelty Purposes ONLY

You ever have an idea to try something sexy you've seen in a movie or on television, only to realize it's not all that it's cracked up to be? 

Let me give you an example.  I don't care how many times you've seen "From Here to Eternity", doing it in sand is not so fun.  Not only did we run out of beach towel which twisted up anyway, something kept poking me in my back and I got sand all in my hair and in my unmentionables.  Also, I didn't get the thrill that some people get when they are doing something they could get caught doing at any minute. I was terrified we'd get caught! It just wasn't sexy!

Another thing that wasn't as fun as it looked on t.v. was shower sex.  Apparently, it would be ideal if you had double shower heads, but that wasn't the set up in my apartment.  Nope, I just had the regular, run-of-the-mill shower head.  When I wasn't in the spray of the water, I nearly froze to death. Plus, I was a little worried about slipping.  Luckily, we managed to complete the act without any serious accidents.  We even managed to not rip the shower curtain off, but I decided that day shower sex was overrated!

So, it's sharing time.  Are there any other sexual or sensual things that seem great on t.v., but didn't quite work out as you had hoped?  Spill!
