How to Have Shower Sex Without Hurting Yourself

Shower sex can be a fantastic experience, with the closeness of sharing time with your partner coupled with the refreshing heat of water falling over you. But wetness, slippery floors and narrow spaces make it dangerous if you aren’t careful. If you want your aquatic adventures to be fun and as safe as possible, check out this article on shower sex without self-injury.

1. Make Safety Your Priority

Check the Surface

The best way to prepare for communal sex is to take stock of your shower. It’s all too easy to fall over, so add a non-slip mat or bath mat. This simple but significant addition can greatly enhance stability, letting both partners enjoy the moment instead of trying to stay on their feet.

Avoid Sharp Edges

Safety should always come first. Check thoroughly in the shower for any sharp corners or objects that could injure you. If you find any, adjust your orientation to avoid them. It’s essential to build an environment that’s safe to create a pleasant atmosphere.

Mind the Water Temperature

Temperature has a major influence on experience. For shower sex, make sure the water is just warm enough. Even extreme heat (either burning hot or freezing cold) is distracting and unsettling. Setting a moderate temperature gives both lovers the freedom to sit back and pay attention to each other.

2. Choose the Right Position

Stand Firmly

Shower sex is popular with the standing spots but everything is on the feet. You need to choose settings that keep lovers both sitting in comfortable, relatively upright positions. Not the ones that completely depend on heavy pivots or standing on slippery floorboards that will send one or both of you crashing to your death. Use shower rails, walls and even the sides of the tub for support. This way, neither of them will need to balance themselves but enjoy themselves instead of having to work against one another.

Get Creative with Heights

In the case that your shower allows for it, a shower bench or a movable stool can facilitate the ease and flexibility of a new position. Increased height adds height and allows both partners to participate without feeling pressured. The extra diversity of positions keeps your experience fresh and exciting.

The Classic ‘Against the Wall’

One of my long-standing favourite positions is the “at the wall”. The one classic offers both prop and camaraderie. But, couples should be mindful of difference in height so as not to put stress on their neck or back. Positioning two people correctly gives a moment of discussion and adaptation when required, which is a seldom-taught trick for greater pleasure.

3. Use Lubrication Wisely

Shower-Friendly Options

Water will wash away natural lubrication, so lubricant is a vital part of shower play. Buy an effective, water-based lubricant that explicitly states that it is water safe. Don’t use oil-based lubricants, as they will corrode latex condoms and make things slippery.

Communicate Needs

When they’re together, communication is paramount. Be sure to regularly check in with your partner about how comfortable they are with lubrication. Some lubricant may need to be applied over and over again, keeping the ride smooth and enjoyable.

4. Set the Right Mood

Lighting Matters

If your shower has dimmable options, create a private setting by dimming the lights. Don’t use bright overhead lights, because that will kill the romance. Soft lighting also creates a comfortable environment that helps make the atmosphere sexual.

Music and Ambiance

— If possible, put waterproof speakers into your shower. Enough quiet music or background noise can be a comforting background for sex. Empathy is enhanced through the senses.

5. Keep the Lines of Communication Open

Talk to Each Other

Communication is at the core of every good sexual encounter, but it is much more paramount in icy places such as a shower, about what feels, what looks and feels like, what hurts. They both need to be free to talk about what is good and bad. This maintains sex intact, and much of what is done to keep people safe and comfortable is covered.

Establish Safe Words

For any new physical territory, there’s no harm in creating a safe word or a sign that either partner can use. That way, the partners can all speak about needs and worries, and each can set up a place of refuge where exploration can take place without fear or confusion.

6. Incorporate Sensory Elements

Warm Water

The sensation of the hot water spraying your body will transform shower sex into an entirely new experience. Set your showerhead on a low setting and let it rain down on you, or try a handheld showerhead so that you can pour the water wherever you or he wants it. Warm water adds sensitiveness and pleasure.

Temperature Play

Whether for couples on a mission or the couples who prefer an adventurous twist to their time together, the switch between warm and cold is an unexpected thrill. But first, the temperature should be negotiated by the partners. Share what you want to see and treat one another respectfully so it stays safe and fun.

7. Know When to Quit

Know Your Limits

As with any other intimate experience, it is all about your body. If you’re beginning to get ill, or the environment becomes uninhabitable (slippage, poor posture, etc.) do not be afraid to slow down and even move to more secure areas like the bed. This is ok, rather than redirecting the laughter elsewhere, than causing injury or pain.

Wrap Up Safely

Once you’re done playing, wash your hands clean and completely dry very quickly. Toweling up and walking out of the shower will maintain the calm of the scene and keep you from tripping. This relaxed return lets you both relax and enjoy the postparty glow.

Conclusion: How to Have Shower Sex Without Hurting Yourself
