How to have perfect shower sex
Sex in the shower has its advantages, but there are also a few small details that are worth keeping in mind - and a few little tips and tricks that are easy to miss. That's why we've put together a guide to perfect shower sex. Enjoy!
Why have sex in the shower? It's such a hassle getting wet
Sex in the shower will most likely get you wet, yes. But you'll also get clean and feel wonderfully relaxed... Here are more benefits of having sex in the shower.
Increased sensuality
The warm, relaxing water, together with body contact and touch, makes the shower one of the most naturally erotic places to have sex.
Practical
Running water against tile or porcelain conceals any moans and gasps - which means you can let your feelings out without worrying about disturbing anyone on the other side of the wall.
New sensations
In addition to water, oils and creams can also increase stimulation. Different scents and impressions affect our desire in different ways. This is an excellent opportunity to experiment!
Things to keep in mind
The faucet
The last thing you want is to feel the cold (or hot!) metal faucet against your lower back or back, pressed against one of your buttocks or the back of your thigh. It's also very easy to accidentally change the temperature from perfectly comfortable to scorching hot or icy cold - a real mood killer. Make sure to keep a safe distance.
Slipperiness
Don't forget that soap and massage oils, combined with tile or porcelain, can quickly make your sensual act resemble Bambi on ice. Take it easy when having sex in the shower - no sudden movements, and always prioritize your balance.
The soap
Washing each other with soap and shower creams is always a good idea for foreplay. But the fiery emergency that can arise if soap gets in your eye can also happen in your other sensitive openings. Invest in an intimate wash, and always make sure the soap stays on the outside of the body.
Positions
Face to face
Perhaps the most common position in the shower. The receiving partner stands with their back against the wall, with one leg resting in the giving partner's elbow crease. Keep your knees slightly bent for better balance. However, this position depends on the height difference between you not being too great. Alternatively: If the height difference is too great, or if you simply feel like trying something new, the giving partner can lift the receiving partner completely into the air - still with their back against the wall. This position can be more difficult to maneuver, as the supporting partner needs the strength and balance to hold and support their partner against the wall without slipping.
Standing doggy
Very simple, but very satisfying. The receiving partner stands facing the wall, leaning slightly forward, with their feet apart. This position is recommended because both partners can control the speed and intensity, both can reach to stimulate the receiving partner's erogenous zones, and both remain firmly on the floor. The height difference in this position can easily be adjusted by bending the knees, standing on tiptoe, or arching the receiving partner's back as needed. Alternatively: The receiving partner stands with their legs spread wide and arms extended in an X formation. When the giving partner thrusts, the receiving partner's body is pressed against the cold, wet wall - adding another exciting sensation.
Lotus flower
If your shower is large enough, this position is a must if you're afraid of slipping. The receiving partner sits on the other's lap while the other sits on the floor, moving up and down - or back and forth - at the desired pace. With the water falling over both of you, this will be a new experience. Alternatively: If you can sit on the edge of a bathtub or a bench in the shower, you can develop this position further. Since you'll be elevated with your feet on the floor, you can both control the pace and intensity.
Additional tips for shower sex!
As water can sometimes cause unnecessary friction because the mucous membranes are "washed clean," we recommend using a silicone-based lube - not a water-based one, as it dissolves and washes away.
Shower sex is an excellent opportunity to use the waterproof sex toys you have lying around at home. A vibrator, massage wand or cock ring? Combine them with sex and discover new heights.
The ultimate place for oral sex is right in the shower. Add a blindfold or a egg vibrator and let all the sensations wash over you. We guarantee a whole new world!
