People spill tea on the wildest hook-ups they've had

If there’s one thing Cosmo's good at, it’s good at, it is keeping your secrets. So naturally, we got some of you to spill the tea on your wildest hook-ups. We’re not gonna tell, but we’re also not gonna tell.

Mirror, Mirror...

“I believe the craziest place I ever did ‘it’ was in a pop-up mirror maze. It was a mundane weekday afternoon—classic college move: Bunking class to go to a fair. The place was so empty we could hear our own bad decisions echoing. I don’t know what came over us, but we were feeling adventurous. Sure, the act itself wasn’t different from usual, but the thrill was it being
risqué. It felt like we were in a rom-com. Let’s just say it was very intimate—almost beautiful—until I imagined a kid wandering in. We were lucky we didn’t traumatise any visitor that day, though I am sure the mirrors are still whispering about it!” -Aqsa Mateen*

We were parked right

“It was one of those quiet December nights when the city of Delhi feels like it’s holding its breath. I’d come back from a night out, having made eye contact with a mutual friend a gazillion times. Found him on Instagram on the way back, turns out he was my neighbour! We decided to ‘hang out’ after midnight. I met him in the parking lot of his lane, which was adjacent to mine, around 2 am. He was already there, leaning against his car, casual but with that look in his eyes—like he knew we’d both been building up to this. I walked up, feeling that familiar mix of nerves and excitement. We talked for a few minutes, about nothing and everything, both knowing why we were there. Then it happened, slow at first, behind the cars. There was something about the rawness of it—the way his hands found mine, the quiet breaths between us, the cold metal of the car pressing against my back. It wasn’t rushed, despite the setting; it felt deliberate like we’d both waited too long for it. The forbidden romance, mystery, and the risk of getting caught—all made it feel like a fever dream.” -Riyaan Malhotra*

Doctor prescribed

“I brought him lunch after his surgery, thinking I’d get brownie points. Yes, well...he had other ideas. Despite just getting out of the ER, he was friskier than ever. One kiss turned into us doing it doggy style on the hospital bed (of course, we had to keep a watch too)—which, by the way, is not built for this deal. Enter: The doctor who was making rounds at the time. Unaware, we kept at it only to panic...and so did the bed, I guess, as it shot upright (probably due to some faulty lever function). The doc had a horrified look on her face and we were mortified! But hey, at least he’s recovering well.” -Meera Shah*

Life's too (sh)fort

“In South Delhi, there is a historic monument that feels more like a hidden gem than a fort. One lovely evening, just before the full moon, we sat on the terrace, shared cigarettes, and discussed how incorporating mental health into school curricula could benefit society. Around 8:30 pm, I suggested we head back, and she agreed. As we navigated the narrow stairs with our phone torches, she suddenly said, ‘I know a place.’ Before I could respond, she took my hand and led me to a secluded spot behind the monument. That’s how I had my moment in a fort. It is hard to describe, but it was unforgettable. I may never do it again, yet it still lingers in my mind." -Ishan Batra*
