The shower sex scene is a regular in movies for good reason. Showers are hot, wet, and tight, which all contributes to great sex. You’re surrounded by slippery products. You have immediate climate control. And the clean up is built right in. It’s the ideal seduction setting. And if you’re quarantined with roommates or young children, showering might be the only alone time you get.
Read on for some tips on how to maximize your shower pleasure and minimize mishaps.
Stay Safe
Don’t Slip
Before we get into the how-tos, let’s take a moment to review the safety features of your sex shower. Nobody wants to cap off an earth-shattering orgasm with a bone shower door shattering fall. So your first line of defense is a shower mat to give yourself some extra grip on the wet shower floor.
You can use a solid rectangular insert to cover much of the floor. Bonus points for getting one that will cushion your knees against the unforgiving tile. But anything that adds floor friction is good for shower banging. Even those flowery decals your Aunt Gertrude always used will provide you with additional foothold power and make you more secure. This is essential because one thought of being afraid to fall is enough to kill your groove.
Practice Water Safety
Make sure any toys you bring to this party are water safe and know what that means. Some toys can get wet but can’t be submerged. Do your research beforehand.
Keep your lube off the floor. Slippery sex is delightful. Slippery showers not so much. Be careful to apply it only where you want it.
Try Not To Wreck The Place
Only hold onto things that are designed to support the weight of a human body. Shower doorways are good, Towel Racks are not. Unless you get aroused by home repair or lost security deposits. Remember, it should be sturdy enough to hold not just your weight, but that of your partner’s, plus any thrust. Be cautious. Use walls. Avoid handles.
Don’t Lock Your Knees
This one is key to remaining upright. Keep just enough bounce in your knees to absorb impact and keep you from falling over if you get dizzy. Between the steam room conditions and the blood flow to your nethers, lightheadedness can happen. Be ready for it.
Stay Sexy
Lube Up
Pro tip: Water isn’t lube. It’s wet but not that kind of wet. Plain old water can actually create drag which is the last thing you need in this scenario. Keep some water-resistant lube handy. But as mentioned above, be careful about spreading it around. The very slickness that makes shower sex so sexy can lead to a very unsexy slip and fall. So try a gel formula to minimize spills.
The Cold Is Your Friend
Standard shower sex wisdom is full of advice about battling the chill factor. Everything from spraying down the shower walls with hot water to investing in a second showerhead so you each get your own. This advice is solid. But don’t overlook the erotic potential of the cold.
Sudden changes in temperature increase blood flow which encourages sexual arousal when the temperature shift is focused on your orgasmic parts. It also creates novel sensations down below which some people find sexually overwhelming. Finally, the psychological impact of cold can be super sexy, whether it’s incorporated into some D/s play or used to enhance a prison or gym shower role playing scene. Cold wakes up our primal brain which is always good for sex.
Go Hands-Free
Water provides sensation and pressure, which is the prescription for an orgasm. Use it in any way you can.
Pull the shower head free if that’s an option. If yours has multiple settings, use them all until you find the Goldilocks “Just Right” one. If your shower head doesn’t come off the wall, use the faucet head. Letting water flow over your clit or cock can be mind-blowingly pleasurable. If that’s too intense, use a soaking wet washcloth to drizzle water over yourself or your lover. Or use a spray gun, plastic bottle, water pistol - whatever you have. Experiment.
Get Super Soapy
Lather up everywhere and use the slickness of the bubbles to your advantage for friction play. Try rubbing the penis between the breasts or buttocks. Or revisit the classic hand job. After all, cleanup is a cinch. Just be sure to keep the bubbles out of anyone’s vagina.
