How to Turn Bath or Shower Sex From Awkward to Amazing

Before giving up, if past bathtime experiences didn't meet your erotic standards, try some of these suggestions.

The vision of naked, wet, writhing bodies in the shower or tub will appear if you spend enough time watching porn or browsing the NSFW section of Tumblr. They seem never to slip, flex their bodies, and fuck carelessly. Bath and shower sex is difficult in real life; you have to slip and slide, things get awkward, and water isn't the ideal lubricant, let's face it.

Although it's not impossible to have great sex in an aquatic setting, if your past bathtime experiences didn't live up to your passionate expectations, consider some of these suggestions before giving up.

Stand Still

The phrase " slippery when wet " seems attractive only when it pertains to you or your spouse and not the bottom of your tub. When you combine two pairs of feet with water (and soap!), bathtub and shower surfaces can become slippery. Thus, pick your tub or shower sex carefully. To avoid an unattractive spill, placemats or treads on the bottom of your tub. Additionally, bear in mind to maintain as much stability as you can, particularly whether standing or bending.

Hold On

My girlfriend grabbed my hips, and we discovered a fantastic rhythm while I was nearly doubled over during our most recent shower sex. He felt great, as did his cock. The water was pleasant as well. My head almost struck the shower wall with every push, which wasn't enjoyable. The remedy? In the tub, where washcloths are typically hung, I gripped the towel/shower bar. I was also able to push back against him because of this. Install a strong grip bar for this use if you want to go further.

Go Slow

The shower or bath is probably not the place for you if you're looking for wild, writhing sex that changes positions every few minutes. You can have a quick fuck in the water, but to prevent any slips or falls, you must move slowly and deliberately when switching between sexual positions. It's not fun or sexy to bust your ass in the tub.

Bring Your Toys

Playing with the toys in the bathtub can be enjoyable as long as they are appropriate. Toys can become slippery, so look for a completely waterproof toy that is easy to hang on to. If you intend to use the toy in water, read reviews before purchasing it. Many toys claim to be waterproof, yet some of them fail in the real world. (See Water Masturbation for additional advice; have you tried it yet?)

Keep Your Face Out of the Water

Before you get smacked in the face by water, oral sex in the shower can be erotic and sexy. In pictures, it appears seductive, but in real life, it might be quite different. Breathing becomes challenging when someone's genitalia is in your mouth and a torrent of water is running up your nose. Let me tell you how I know. To be comfortable (and prevent half-drowning!) while you enjoy your companion, pay attention to your posture and adjust the shower head or position yourself properly.

Get Dirty

When you don't want to get the bed or linens dirty, shower or bath sex is a terrific option. Depending on your preferences, shower, and bath sex can involve period sex, golden showers, or even squirting orgasms. You don't have to worry about changing sheets or tidying up after yourself; any mess goes straight down the drain.

Lube Up

Bring plenty of lubrication if you plan to penetrate your lover or yourself during shower or bath sex. Any natural lubrication the body produces might be washed away by water. The fun of getting naughty in the shower isn't exactly enhanced by painful or challenging penetration. Look for a lubricant, such as silicone or a hybrid, that doesn't irritate your skin. Have it on hand for any play with sex toys, masturbation, or penetrative intercourse. (Remember that silicone toys and silicone lubes don't mix!)

End on Dry Land

Perhaps you're afraid of sliding or don't want to use your lubrication in the restroom. Here, you can start something with your shower and end it on dry land. Wash each other, making sure to contact all the appropriate areas with the soap's slickness. Make out in the hot water or use your toy. There is no requirement that the happy ending must take place in the bathtub for it to qualify as shower sex.

The most crucial thing to keep in mind when it comes to shower or bath sex is that it doesn't have to, shouldn't, and most likely won't fit any of your fantasies. In whatever form, sex is meant to be enjoyed able. Laugh at the strange poses, the near-slips, and the face-spraying water.

Find a comfortable position and rhythm for both you and your partner. When it's no longer enjoyable, leave and find something else.
