Park benches, subway stations, and even on the subway itself –  lots of people get caught "doing it: in public places! But in but sex in public is super illegal  - So when theres literally cameras everywhere - why do people take the risk ?
Because – biology. 

Over 40 years ago, psychologists conducted a study commonly known as the Capilano Suspension Bridge experiment.
Men were asked to cross one of two bridges over the Capilano River in Canada;  either the wobbly and scary wooden suspension bridge, or the boring firm flat solid bridge. 

When the subjects were interviewed afterwards by a female conducting a survey, the guys who'd crossed the "scary" bridge filled out their questionnaires with stronger sexual imagery than the men on the safe bridge and were twice as likely hit on the female researcher.

Because chemical dopamine. It’s the ‘fight of flight’ chemical that quickens your heart and makes your pupils dialate. 
It gushes out is scary situations, but also gushes out when we’re in lust, which is why you might get a racing heart or sweaty palms in front of your crush. 

Just thinking about sex in public places and the ever present danger of getting caught turns some people on – and the evidence is all over YouTube.  Links – not be in the description!
