Shower sex is something most people have thought about at one point or another, but in the real world, having an amazing time is sometimes easier said than done; from potentially dangerous slippery surfaces to maneuvering bodies in a small space, the inability to stay lubricated to accidentally getting soap in your partners eyes, there’s a lot of possibly frustrating things to contend with. Hopefully by following the tips outlined below the results can be pretty amazing.

Shower Sex: Safe, Fun, and Creative Ways to Make it Work

Lubrication Matters:

While the water from the shower might feel like it’s helping, it actually washes away the body’s natural lubrication quickly, which can lead to discomfort or even pain. That said, if you find your natural lubrication doesn’t last very long in the shower try adding a silicone-based lubricant, like Pjur Original Bodyglide, which is waterproof and won’t break down as easily in the shower. This will help maintain a smooth, friction-free experience and can make a huge difference, especially during longer sessions.

Avoid Using Shower Products as Lubricants:

It might be tempting to reach for soap, shampoo, shower gel, or even lotion to use as a substitute for lube in the shower. But please don’t – these products aren’t designed for internal use. They can be harsh on sensitive areas, causing dryness, irritation, and even throwing off your body’s natural pH balance, which can lead to issues like developing bacterial vaginosis or a yeast infection. As mentioned above, you’re best to stick to a body-safe silicone lube that’s specifically made for intimate use to avoid any negative side effects. Trust me on this.

Prevent Slips with a Bath Mat:

Shower floors can be slippery at the best of times, and adding lubricant into the mix increases the chance of slips and falls. To stay safe, get a good quality bath mat or a non-slip rubber mat for your shower. This will help you and your partner keep your footing, allowing you to stay more present and relaxed rather than be distracted or worrying about balance.

Use the Water for Temperature Play:

One of the unique benefits of shower sex is the potential for sensory play with water. Experiment with different water temperatures by adjusting from cool to warm as you let the spray run over your partner’s body. This can be stimulating and exciting, as temperature shifts create new sensations. Just be sure to test the water on your wrist first to avoid accidentally scalding your partner with hot water!

Try Sensory Play with a Variable-Setting Shower Head:

If your shower has a detachable shower head with variable settings (pictured right), it’s another great tool for sensory play. Rotating through different settings, like a gentle mist or a more focused stream, can add a range of sensations to your partner’s experience. You can target specific areas or allow the water to flow over erogenous zones, turning the shower itself into part of your play.

WeVibe Touch ReviewBring in a Waterproof Vibe:

For those who enjoy clitoral stimulation, adding a waterproof vibrator can make a world of difference. Products like the We-Vibe Touch (pictured left), We-Vibe Tango, or JimmyJane Form 2 are waterproof and designed for external use, offering consistent stimulation that complements shower play. These toys can help make the experience more satisfying, especially for partners who need direct clitoral stimulation.

Find the Right Position:

Positioning can be tricky in a confined, slippery space. Instead of fumbling around, go straight for positions that work well in the shower, like doggy-style. With one partner bending forward, place a foot on the edge of the tub or shower ledge for support.

If you want a bit more support, have your partner hold your hips. This also allows them to pull you towards them for deeper penetration while also keeping you from slipping all over the place.

Invest in Shower-Specific Gear:

Shower-specific support gear can make a huge difference, especially if you’re planning to make shower sex a regular thing. Simple accessories like a locking suction footrest or a suction shower handle provide extra stability and make it easier to hold certain positions. These are affordable, easy to install, and allow for safer movement, which ultimately leads to more enjoyable experiences.

Set the Mood with Lighting:

Creating a romantic ambience can make the shower feel more inviting and intimate. Try turning off the main lights and using candles, which add a soft glow without taking up much space. For those feeling more adventurous, swapping out your usual bulb for a color-changing LED like Phillips Hue (my favourite), or black lights can bring a fun, creative vibe to the experience. Just make sure any lighting adjustments are made before you start to avoid any potential hazards like getting shocked.

Use Protection:

Unless you’re actively trying to conceive or know for certain that your partner is STI-free, it’s wise to use protection in the shower, just as you would anywhere else. Keep in mind that the lubricant on condoms can wash away quickly in water, which may lead to dryness and even increase the chance of breakage. Adding a bit of extra silicone lubricant on the condom can help maintain its effectiveness, ensuring you stay safe while still enjoying the experience.

Final Thoughts:

With a little preparation and some added creativity, shower sex can be an exciting way to bring something new into your sex life. The key is to prioritize comfort and safety so that you and your partner can stay in the moment and make the most of the unique experience.
