What to know about sex in the shower
Shower sex is the performance of activities, such as sexual intercourse or masturbation , in the shower. Alone or with a partner, shower sex can be very intriguing, but it’s not without risk and can be terribly uncomfortable to practice.
To make shower sex as sexy (and safe) as it is in your fantasies, follow the guidelines below. Let’s just anticipate that the usual risks deriving from having sexual intercourse (sexually transmitted diseases, candida , bacterial vaginosis , urinary tract infections and unwanted pregnancy) not only do not disappear under the shower water but, in some cases, they can even increase.
Benefits of Sex in the Shower
Since most people are naked while showering, many people see this as an ideal time to get intimate with a partner or themselves. Without forgetting that hot water contributes to feeling at ease and relaxed, making sex physically easier and more pleasant .
Furthermore, the shower lends itself well to a number of activities that go beyond “classic” sexual intercourse, including oral sex and the exploration of each other’s erogenous zones . In other words, taking a shower together can be interpreted as an opportunity to touch, rub and, in general, explore the partner’s body, increase libido and experience new sensations.
How to Have Safe Sex in the Shower
As much as movies and romance novels portray shower sex as a seamless leap from rubbing foam all over each other to heart-pounding orgasms, in reality the logistics are often more complicated. Not surprisingly, there’s a reason why we don’t usually do anything athletic while we wash: the shower tray is wet and, between shower gel and shampoo , the tiles tend to be very slippery.
What sex positions in the shower?
Not all positions are equally safe when it comes to slips and falls: in the shower, it is imperative to try positions that are comfortable and pleasant (including those that don’t get water in your eyes or accidentally drink it), making sure you are stable . In the shower, you can make love standing up , astride in the cowgirl position or on all fours. Some of the best sex positions in the shower involve sitting or kneeling with the aid of supports such as yoga mats or shower stools.
When in doubt, keep both feet on the ground
Getting creative in the shower can be tempting, but considering you’re in a confined, steamy, slippery space, your “go-to” sex positions may not work as well. In the shower, it’s good to start simple and keep both feet on the floor . This will help maintain balance , decreasing the risk of falling . Also, it’s always good to remember that most shower elements aren’t designed to be handles. This means that the soap dish is not designed to support the weight of a leg or to be used as a foot rest, just as the curtain rod or exposed pipes cannot be considered valid supports.
Alternatively, you can opt for seated sex positions – if you have a shower stool, you can use it to your advantage (you’re less likely to fall over!).
