No question: Shower sex is among the top ten hottest sex fantasies – thanks in no small part to the many films and TV series where things get really animalistic. In reality, this special shower experience can be just as exciting and pleasurable. The feeling of warm water running over your skin, the intimacy of the shower cubicle, and the opportunity to pamper and explore each other create a unique atmosphere for all the senses. Here, we've compiled practical tips and tricks so you can enjoy the pleasurable experience under the shower without a care in the world.
The best positions for shower sex
Indeed, there's a fine line between a hot adventure and a slippery and uncomfortable experience. The Wall Support: In this position for sex in the shower, one partner faces the wall and pushes their buttocks slightly backward. At the same time, they support themselves with their hands at head height, while the other partner—also standing—penetrates from behind or pleasures them with their hands. This position not only offers a lot of stability for both partners but also allows for pleasantly deep stimulation, which you're probably already familiar with from the doggy-style position.
Wet and Fun Sit-In: Here, one partner sits on the edge of the bathtub or on a sturdy stool in the shower. Depending on the seating, the other partner slowly sits on the penis, facing either away from or towards the wall. Alternatively, this position can also be used for cunnilingus or a blowjob.
Sporty Shower Sex: This position for sex in the shower is only for experienced partners. The receptive partner is lifted up by the other and pressed against the wall—then the penis penetrates deeply while the passive partner is moved up and down.
Angled: In this position, one partner leans back against the shower wall and wraps one leg around the hips of the active partner. This position is also so hot because you can gaze deeply into each other's eyes.
Sex in the Shower: What You Should Know
It's a no-brainer: Sex in the shower can be very slippery. Not only because of the water, but also because soap or shampoo is often involved. We therefore advise you to take it step by step to find out which positions feel safe and comfortable for you and your partner.
In the heat of the moment, some people forget that water is not a lubricant – and neither is soap. The vagina has a slightly acidic pH, while shower gels are alkaline. Therefore, the mucous membranes should not come into contact with them to avoid disrupting the vaginal flora and potentially causing infections.
Water and friction also quickly wash away vaginal secretions. Even if you're wet and aroused, sex in the shower can quickly become uncomfortable. The solution: Use plenty of lubricant – preferably water-based, as this is compatible with condoms and sex toys.
