"In" a canoe? Never. "On" a canoe......

OK, I'm convinced, now more than ever, that PA is just simply lacking in canoeing opportunities.
Of course, the fact that I, like so many others here (true to the site's roots), trip solo probably doesn't help those odds.
Thwarts get in the way. We used to do a lot of nude paddling. We had 4 couples in the BWCA. Polar bear club every morning.
Yes that. I've had "sexy time" nude in a canoe on a few cool misty mornings, but never "sex". Thwarts get in the way.
The mechanics are left as an exercise to the the reader.

They might provide a challenge but I doubt they'd prevent a truly determined attempt. Trust me, I drove a Jeep CJ5 (soft top) from my mid-20's until I got married. At times, it required creativity but the challenges were by no means insurmountable.
This problem was solved a long time ago. Page two of the 1903 Old Town Canoe Company catalog said "Thumb nuts will be used for securing middle thwart if desired." Similar comments continued to be included in the catalogs until 1917. These nuts are original in my canoes from 1901, 1907, 1921 as shown below, and 1936. My Molitor from 1982 has a wide outside gunwale and no thwarts.

One more reason to invest in a good pair of knee pads, maybe two pairs would be better.
Actually... I hadn't considered the possibility in that way... it might alleviate the thwart issue.
Definitely something to think about over winter
Maybe get in some training.
Not in a canoe but perhaps on a portage..Just hypothetical of course
Aahh, so NOW I understand Ratty's enthusiasm.

"John Summers gave an entertaining review of Canoes and Romance, from the late 19th century to the present day, using old postcards, photos, film, and advertisements. The canoe has long been seen as the vehicle for romance, sometimes with seating designed for that specific purpose."
I could never do it in my EM White, I'd feel like I was cheating on her.
They weren't thwarted
The idea of rolling around in the bilge water doesn't seem all that great to me. Maybe wait until you are on shore?
Glenn thrashing around in a canoe like that is a good way to get in trouble. It makes no sense.
It appears to me from the photo that as long as you're OK with PG rated sex you can do it under the thwarts.
This thread made me realize that my wife and my EM White have a lot in common. They are both beautiful on the inside and have a nice round bottom.
