It’s a slippery business that should be approached with caution, but shower sex can be super rewarding and a great way to get out of a bedroom-based-rut. Having sex in the shower might seem like something from the movies, where couples engage in steamy sessions, seemingly risking their health in the process, but it can also be a great way for any couple to keep things exciting and shift their sex lives from the bedroom.
Take your next sex session to the bathroom and get seriously steamy with a few wet-and-wild tips.
How to have shower sex
Shower sex often seems like a good idea but can sometimes end up awkwardly avoiding the cold tiles and taking turns squeezing under a small jet of water to keep warm. It doesn’t have to be like that though! Shower sex can be a great way to change location from the bedroom and try something different. But how do people have sex in the shower? Here are a few tips to making sure your shower sex is more of a steamy romp than a damp struggle…
1.Forego the soapy suds
There are certain places that soap shouldn’t go – believe us. If you’ve ever had soap suds in your eye, you’ll know the stinging pain. The pain of having soap internally is coupled with a high risk of thrush. Having soap inside the vagina upsets the PH balance and can cause a growth of candida AKA thrush. Swerve the soapy massage and let the water get you wet.
2.Water Isn’t lube!
Your body may be wet but that doesn’t mean she is. Water can remove some of the natural lubrication and leave the vagina feeling dry – which is, of course, no good for penetration. For truly great shower sex opt for a water-resistant lube and ensure you’re getting wet and wild.
3.Shower head stimulation
The showerhead provides the opportunity for great stimulation for both you and your partner during shower sex. Direct the stream of water at her clitoris and his scrotum during shower head sex and revel in blended orgasms and a new, mind-blowing sensation.
4.Anal adventure
If you’re intrigued by anal but have been put off trying by the thought of any possible mess, give it a go in the shower. Again, a water-resistant, silicone-based lube is imperative in ensuring you are comfortable during anal sex in the shower.
5.Waterproof sex toys
Sex positions in the shower are limited, therefore the safest is probably from behind. If standing-doggy style doesn’t quite get you there take a waterproof sex toy with you. This will open the options for all sorts of different shower sex positions.
6.Keeping it clean
Shower sex is ideal for those times when you’re a little worried or self-conscious about hygiene. As with anal, if you’re wondering “can you have shower sex on your period?” the answer would be “absolutely!” It’s the perfect way to have sex and both wash clean after, nobody has to worry about any mess.
7.Remember protection
Shower sex is one of those things that can very much happen in the spur of the moment, meaning we often throw our inhibitions out of the window. If you do get caught in the moment, it’s important to know how to have safe sex in the shower. Just remember that shower sex won’t protect you from STI’s or pregnancy. We’re all about getting lost in the passion… but not at the risk of our health! Latex condoms are a great option and can be used safely in the shower, just avoid soaps and gels as they can weaken the condom.
