Shower sex in movies is always sparkling, steamy, and full of endless pleasure. But in reality, it often turns into a struggle with slippery floors, frustration at finding the right spot, and (if the water doesn’t cover it) a chilling experience that leaves you shivering.
Is it time to give up on shower sex? Of course not! Hot water, steam, and the wet figure of your partner are all sensual temptations in themselves. Especially when there are children, roommates, or family members at home, the shower can be a rare private space. The key is to master the method and turn the challenge into enjoyment.
Today, we will discuss the “do’s” and “don’ts” of shower sex, and recommend the 5 best positions to help you safely and comfortably experience the “wet temptation” passion in the water.
Golden Rules of Shower Sex: Do’s & Don’ts
For a safe, comfortable, and hot shower experience, keep these points in mind:
Be sure to:
– Beyond penetrative sex: There is much more to sex than penile-vagina/anal penetration. The shower is a great place to explore each other’s bodies, using the water and hands to engage in caresses, oral sex, and other intimate encounters. With an open mind, the fun and satisfaction will be multiplied.
– Safety first: the shower room is not a gym!
– Test the load-bearing: Wall-mounted soap dishes, shower curtain rods, and even installed handrails are not designed to be load-bearing points for sex! Test ahead of time to see where it’s safe to hold or lean on.
– Anti-slip is key: Shower floors are extremely slippery. Using non-slip mats (not very sexy, but definitely necessary) can drastically reduce the risk of slips.
– Embrace Stable Positions: Kneeling or sitting positions tend to be more stable and easier than standing positions.
– Keep it Clean: Mold, soap scum, tangled hair, moldy soap crumbs? Nothing sexy at all! Before you get started, make sure your shower is clean, smells fresh and creates a comfortable atmosphere.
Be sure to avoid:
– Ignore lubricants:
– IMPORTANT NOTE: Water is not a lubricant! It does not effectively reduce friction and may instead wash away natural lubrication.
– Choose silicone-based: Water-based lubricants tend to wash away under the shower. Silicone-based lube is waterproof and long-lasting, making it ideal for shower sex.
– Absolute no-no: Never use soap, shower gel, shampoo, etc. instead of lubricant! They can irritate sensitive tissues and disrupt natural flora.
– Try a difficult standing position for the first time: Standing in the shower requires a lot of balance and core strength. It is recommended to practice standing postures in a dry, safe environment (such as a bedroom) first, and then try it in the shower after mastering the balance and rhythm.
– Obsessing with “it’s done in the shower”: Shower sex may become less pleasurable due to changes in water temperature, uncomfortable positioning, or fatigue. If you feel cold, tired, or uncomfortable, it’s entirely possible to move the intimacy to a more comfortable bed and continue. Sex doesn’t have to end with a climax, just that both parties feel satisfied.
5 Best Shower Sex Positions
Before attempting any pose that requires standing or being off the ground, be sure to do a safety check and practice “on land” first!
Standing doggy style (standing doggy style):
– Method: The recipient bends over, puts his hands on the wall or the edge of the bathtub to stabilize his body, and faces away from the inserter. The inserter enters from behind and can keep his or her hands on the wall for balance.
– Advantages: classic, relatively stable, both sides can find support points.
– Note: The inserter should move gently to avoid using too much force, which may cause the recipient to become unbalanced.
Standing Wraparound (Standing Pretzel Pose):
– Method: The inserter stands firmly with feet apart and knees slightly bent. The recipient will wrap **one leg** around the waist of the inserter, and the inserter will hold the thigh to provide support. The recipient stands firmly on the other foot.
– Advantages: It provides a certain “lifting” feeling, is safer and less labor-intensive than completely suspended, and increases the sense of intimacy when facing each other.
– Note: Both parties need to communicate well, the inserter’s core should be stable, and the recipient’s legs should not be too high or tight.
Kneeling position oral sex:
– How to do it: The receiver stands (feet can be spread apart to increase stability), and the giver kneels in front of the receiver (non-slip pads can be used to protect the knees). If it is oral sex for a woman, the recipient can place one foot on the edge of the bathtub (making sure it is stable) to make it easier for the giver to operate.
– Advantages: Only one side stands, high stability, focused on oral stimulation.
– Note: Make sure your kneeling position is comfortable (a mat is important) and that the receiver is standing firmly.
Cowboy pose (face to face lotus pose):
– Procedure: The inserter sits on the shower floor (non-slip mat is important!). Penetration is performed with the recipient straddling his lap, facing each other. Turn the recipient’s back toward the shower head to prevent the water from hitting their face directly and allow both parties to enjoy the warm water. The recipient can lean back to increase visual enjoyment.
– Advantages: Very stable sitting position, low center of gravity, minimal risk of slipping. Face-to-face communication facilitates kissing and communication. The receiver has a better experience with its back to the water flow.
– Note: Make sure the floor is smooth and your sitting position is comfortable.
Reverse Cowboy Pose (Back in Lotus Pose):
– Procedure: The inserter also sits on the floor. The recipient faces away from the penetrator and straddles him for vaginal or anal penetration.
– Advantages: equally stable and safe. The back-to-back position facilitates G-spot/prostate stimulation, provides intimacy from different angles, and allows the recipient to control the rhythm.
– NOTE: Communicate smoothly and ensure a comfortable entry angle.
Start your shower passion journey
Shower sex can be a highlight of your relationship as long as you’re prepared safely, keep an open mind, and choose the right position. Remember that lubricant (silicone-based!) and anti-slip pads are a must, a clean environment is fundamental, and comfort and safety always take precedence over difficult moves. Remember, a pleasant experience comes from relaxation and engagement by both parties, not from imitating movie scenes. I wish you a happy exploration and enjoy the unique intimacy of “water”!
