When we think about shower sex, we immediately think of the steamy James Bond type scenes that is often portrayed in the movies. The reality of shower sex, however, is not always so sexy! Between trying to get the right position and ensuring that the lube isn’t constantly being washed away; you may think that the fantasy is better left to Hollywood. We are here to bring the good news – shower sex can be really sexy and really fun. You just need to consider a few things beforehand.
Don’t forget the foreplay
Sex in the shower can be slippery, dangerous, and one of you is likely to end up with a cold ass. The good certainly outweighs the bad though. For a start, the foreplay can be really sensual – the hot water streaming down you both, soaping your partner’s body, and washing their hair. Then when you’re both hot and ready to go, get out wrap her in fluffy towel, and perch her on the sink for something a little different.
Another thing you can do is get your girl to get down on all fours, then run the showerhead all over her back and bum. It’ll be really sexy for you to look at her enjoying yourself. Also, while you’re washing her down, she’s in the perfect position to give you some extra attention. A win-win situation!
The right tools
One of the biggest problems with shower sex is clearly space – it’s like trying to do gymnastics in a wardrobe. Nothing sounds sexier than being crammed into a small space, up on your toes, sliding around, banging elbows and knees, only minutes away from a trip to A&E. So the first tool we recommend is investing in a non-slip shower mat, which should stop you from slipping. If you’re looking to splash out – there are a variety of cushioning mats on the market, which will support her knees when she’s giving you oral.
Alternatively, there are foot stools that are designed to be used in the shower. These are great for sitting on or anchoring your foot up so you can get more support and not get leg ache. Practical and sexy at the same time!
The right positioning
Positioning is key for pleasure and also to prevent any accidents in the shower — we recommend face-to-face with her leg wrapped around you, or rear-entry positions. Use the shower walls to support you and prevent slipping while thrusting. Unfortunately, water doesn’t reduce friction or dryness, so a silicone lubricant like ID Millennium Pure Silicone Personal Lubricant (€ 11.38, kinky.ie) will keep things slippery everywhere. Water based lubes should be avoided as they simply get washed away.
It’s easy to bend over and lean against the shower door or wall and even prop your leg up on a shower stool or the side of the tub. Standing missionary is another good option where you can also prop your leg up on something to maintain stability. If you have a hand unit – one that has a hose and can detach – get creative and introduce it to your sexy shower escapades. Firstly, it allows you to get her wet everywhere. Secondly, play with different pressures and temperatures on her hot spots and hear her moan with pleasure!
It’s time to get kinky
The shower is, by definition, a clean and hygienic place. If you or your partner often stray away from certain things that you want to do but find it ‘unhygienic’ or ‘sticky’ – there is no better place to give them a go than in the shower. It really opens a lot of doors and allows you to experiment. From golden showers to chocolate body paint – it’s time to get your kink on!
Shake it up a little
If the logistics of shower sex doesn’t work for you, or if you end up feeling light-headed – move the fun to the sink counter or bedroom. Bend your partner over the sink and enter her from behind. If you’re lucky, you’ll be able to watch yourselves at it in the mirror. The cool air will feel refreshing and the change in location will add to the experience. So try something new this weekend – you won’t regret it!!
