ACCEPTED - Banging on a Balcony

2014 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Wendy says, "Added to the Archive."

La petite mort

(10 June 2014, London, England) Humans who aspire to high levels of desire may join the "mile-high club" yet our dreams of sex in high places also have couples eyeing more accessible heights such as rooftops and romantic balconies. Balcony balls are a common sight for neighbors across from Knights Tower, an apartment high-rise on the bank of the Thames river in South London. The city lights sparkling on the surface of the waters are irresistible to lovers, and neighbors have seen people on the balcony doing all sorts of things.

On a warm Tuesday night in the summertime, a hot couple was observed kissing and frolicking as they engaged in sex on a sixth-floor balcony. Some neighbors closed their drapes while others enjoyed the entertainment, each according to his inclination. It was the usual reality programming for the neighborhood.

A party was going on inside the flat. When people came out onto the balcony the couple would stop their game, only to resume playing the moment they were alone on the balcony. "The last thing I expected was to see them falling down five floors," said one observer, but "the guy was lifting the girl and putting her on the bannister, he kept on doing it, they were going back and forth," and suddenly the amorous hotties were balls up and over the railing.

Natural birth control -- the couple did not survive the fall.

http://news.sky.com/story/1279799/two-teens-killed-in-sixth-floor-balcony-fall

Two teenagers have died after falling from a balcony on the sixth floor of a block of flats during a party.

Police have described the deaths of the 18-year-old man and 19-year-old woman as as "tragic accident".

Emergency services were called to Knights Tower, in Deptford, south London, just after midnight.

Samson Oguntayo, 32, an events manager who lives in the neighbouring Cornmill House, said he and his partner Blessing had seen the couple fall.

"They were trying to have sex on the balcony, the guy was lifting the girl and putting her on the bannister, he kept on doing it," he said.

"He was putting her on there - they were going back and forth. You could see they were doing some really dangerous stuff.

"It is not the first time we have seen people on the balcony acting up.

"At some point friends must have come outside and they got down and came back inside and then came back out again.

"This time they started doing it again. You see people on the balcony doing all sorts of things and I just felt it was one of those things and in a moment they will probably go back inside.

"The last thing I expected was to see them falling down five floors. We just screamed."

Definitely Keep: Darwin Award
We get lots of stories involving people falling from balconies, etc. but its usually the result of stupid things like climbing up/down them, jumping between them, etc. I also believe we have one submission in the archives from a few years ago about a couple who fell off a rooftop while having sex. But I don't think we've had any stories about falling from a balcony while having sex so I'm willing to accept this one. Thanks, Graham.

Yep...there are certainly better places than a balcony to have sex...but what a final rish it must have been...not...!
