Perfect preparation
Before you dive head-first into the steamy world of sex in the shower, remember that preparation is key to a successful and safe experience. Although it might look easy, having sex under running water comes with its own unique set of challenges. Here are our top tips to help you prepare:
Safety first:
Before you do anything else, it’s important to make sure that your shower is safe for sex. Add a non-slip mat to make sure that the floor doesn’t get slippery.
Keep an eye on the temperature:
Check the water temperature before things start to heat up; you want the flow to be pleasantly warm but not too hot. Very hot water can irritate the sensitive skin in your intimate area, which could make the experience a whole lot less pleasurable. Make sure that the temperature will remain consistent throughout your in-shower experience.
Have your lubricant to hand:
Water can wash away the body’s natural lubrication, which can result in friction and discomfort. Use a silicone-based lubricant to make the experience more pleasurable and comfortable. Make sure your lubricant is close by so you can grab it quickly if you need it.
Set the scene:
Create a relaxing and intimate vibe in the shower by using soft lighting or even lighting a few candles. Choose some calming music that you both enjoy to set the scene and help you relax.
Taking the time to prepare will help ensure that your first forays into sex in the shower are passionate and unforgettable. If you feel safe and comfortable, you’ll be able to focus all your attention on feeling good and enjoying this intimate experience with your partner – without anything to distract you. 😉
The best positions for pleasure and safety
So, now you know how to prepare for successful shower sex – but choosing the right position during the main event is also essential for a safe and pleasurable experience. With limited space at your disposal and slippery surfaces all around, you’ll have to get creative and be a little more careful than usual to keep yourselves safe without dampening the passion. Here are our favourite positions for fun, pleasurable and safe sex in the shower:
Standing:
Standing is a classic position for sex in the shower, as both partners remain upright and can enjoy close, full-body contact. This hug-like position keeps you both stable and gives you plenty of skin-to-skin intimacy.
Against the wall:
Another position that works well in the shower is having one partner lean against the wall for support while the other partner penetrates them from behind. This position enables deeper penetration while also helping to keep both partners steady on their feet.
Seated:
If your shower has a built-in bench or a raised edge, sitting down can be a great way to have sex in the shower. One partner sits down while the other sits on top or kneels in front of them. This position is stable and comfortable for both partners.
When deciding on the best position for shower sex, it’s important to consider the preferences and boundaries of each partner and openly communicate any concerns either of you may have. With a little creativity and a bit of extra care, sex in the shower is a passionate adventure you can embark on together, while strengthening your bond and creating lasting memories.
Sensual shower rituals
Our everyday lives can be hectic, and the shower is often a haven of peace and relaxation in the midst of the chaos; a place where we can retreat and take the time to refresh, reset and even reconnect with those closest to us. The shower can be more than just an opportunity to wash – incorporating sensual rituals can transform it into a place of sensuality and pleasure.
One simple way to transform your shower into a sensual experience with your partner is to wash one another‘s body with a scented shower gel or soap. Take the time to enjoy your partner’s touch and appreciate the sense of closeness between you. This intimate gesture helps you connect with your partner and can inject new energy into your sex life.
Another way to pack even more pleasure into your shower is to give your partner a relaxing massage while the warm water cascades over your skin. Apply a massage gel and massage one another to relieve tension and stimulate the senses. This loving touch will help you both relax and build trust and connection in your relationship.
After your shower, you can gently dry one another and apply a calming lotion or body milk to your partner’s skin. This simple ritual is another opportunity for physical intimacy and is a way to show your appreciation and care for one another.
Sensual shower rituals are a great way to transform your shower into an opportunity for intimacy, relaxation and connection. By making a conscious choice to spend time on these rituals and on one another, we can deepen our connection with our partner and enrich our love lives.
