Do you think shower sex is only for porn stars and contortionists? Not at all!
Many people find shower sex their favorite place next to the bedroom. According to a survey in the UK, 40% of British respondents who have had sex in the bathroom actually prefer to have sex in the shower.
Like the Brits, you can also be intimate in the shower. By knowing the basics, you can go from, “Oops, I almost slipped” to “Holy sh*t, more baby!”
First Things First: How to Make Shower Sex Safe, Sexy, and Slip-Free
Although shower sex seems hot, let’s be honest: it’s an accident-prone area. You don’t want your intimate experience to turn into a trip to the hospital. So, before we go into action, you should know these pointers to ensure a safe, fun, and exciting experience.
Use a Non-Slip Waterproof Mat or Towel
Having a non-slip mat or towel to do your business on is one thing that should be in your arsenal and is not up for debate. It ensures that your butts stay clean and neither of you will slip while you do the deed.
Clean the Bathroom
Although you can use a mat or a towel for a clean space for lovemaking, it doesn’t mean that you should forgo cleaning the bathroom. Nothing kills the mood faster than a stinky toilet seat or the sight of hair on the wall while f*cking.
Test the Water Pressure and Temperature Before the Action
Yup, I know that one of the best things shower sex can offer is the addition of natural sex toys like the showerhead or the water in the tub. But before you jump into it, make sure that the water pressure and the temperature are good enough for both of you.
Because the last thing you want is to kill the mood with both of you shivering in the cold or scalded by hot water.
Position Yourselves Before Getting Too Steamy
To prevent accidents, avoid a trip to the hospital, and save yourself from embarrassment, ensure that you have established stability and balance when you start any of the following shower sex positions.
The 14 Best Shower Sex Positions for Every Vibe
Do you know that shower sex is good for your body? According to one study, having shower sex twice a week can reduce the risk of heart disease by 50%. But even though this is a result of a study, it doesn’t mean that shower sex is not prone to accidents.
There are tons of shower sex position suggestions out there. But I compiled those that you can do without contorting your body into a pretzel.
The following sex positions are easy to do, and most of all, will ensure that you are safe from slipping or getting into an accident. Because the last thing you want is a trip to the hospital, and this isn’t hot at all.
1. Super Soaker
How to: This works when one of the partners has a vulva. Both partners stand, facing each other. The partner with a vulva raises their leg, with the penetrating partner holding the thigh of the raised leg for support.
The receiving partner, the one with the vulva, uses a portable showerhead and sprays between their legs as the penetrating partner enters.
This shower sex position feels good for those with a vulva, but it may not be ideal for the penis. So, when doing this position, spray the showerhead directly on the vulva, not the penis.
2. Standing
How to: Both partners stand, facing the same direction. The penetrating partner is behind the receiving partner, who can use the front wall for support as the latter receives penetration.
This is one of the best sex positions to do inside the shower as it’s simple, does the job, and is practical when done on a wet surface. It is also the best choice for anal sex. The penetrating partner can enhance the experience by using their hands to explore the receiving partner’s body.
They can use their hands to tease the receiving partner’s intimate areas, like rubbing their clit or stroking their penis, or teasing their nipples. The penetrating partner can also kiss their partner at the same time.
3. Lap Dance
How to: The penetrating partner sits at the edge of a bathtub, shower shelf, or toilet seat. Then the receiving partner straddles the penetrating partner, sitting on the latter's lap.
This is one of the best positions to do in the shower as it can really heat the mood up. Imagine how sexy it can be if your partner stripteases in front of you to do a little dance, with droplets of water trickling down their skin. The experience will be mind-blowing.
But, if you’re thinking of doing a little strip dance in the shower and adding some music, make sure to use a battery-operated device, and not an electric one, to avoid electrocution.
4. Dancer
How to: This sex position is like the Super Soaker, sans the use of the portable showerhead. Like the Super Soaker, both partners stand close, facing each other. The receiving partner raises one leg, and the penetrating partner holds the thigh of the raised leg for support.
Just like in any standing shower sex position, Dancer is one of the most stable positions that you can do. With this position, the partners can focus on the sensation, the thrusting, and the rhythm without slipping.
5. Liquid Love
How to: Liquid Love is best done in a bathtub filled with the right amount of water. One partner sits inclined with their back against the wall or the tub, with their legs spread out. The other partner gives oral to the sitting partner, with the latter’s sex slightly submerged in water.
This is a passionate shower sex position you can add to your shower sex bucket list. It’s intimate and will leave the receiving partner squirming and moaning throughout your lovemaking session.
6. Against the Wall
How to: The penetrating partner leans back against the wall, while the receiving partner sits on top of the penetrating partner’s penis or dildo. In this sex position, the receiving partner does the work, as it’s going to be difficult for the penetrating partner to move.
This shower sex position can be done for anal sex or not. Though both partners are not facing each other, this can still be considered an intimate position, as the penetrating partner can use their hands to roam their partner’s body for added stimulation.
7. Doggy Style
How to: Place a waterproof mat on the floor. The receiving partner positions themselves on the mat on their hands and knees, shoulder-width apart. Then, the penetrating partner gets behind the receiving partner, aligning with their partner’s hips.
Doggy style is another stable and simple sex position that partners can do in the shower. It’s classic but still mind-blowing.
8. Steamy Stand and Slide
How to: Both partners stand, facing the same direction. Both partners masturbate themselves. The partner behind can choose to hump their partner in front. If they have a penis, they can place their penis between their partner’s butt cheeks for intimacy.
The Steamy Stand and Slide is the best sex position if you want to have sex but want to avoid penetration for whatever reason, maybe to save yourselves for marriage, avoid STIs, or pregnancy (no one’s judging here). It’s mind-blowing and still gets the job done.
9. Stand and Deliver
How to: Both partners stand on the floor or the mat, facing the same direction. The receiving partner leans forward, tilting their butt up for their partner to penetrate. They can place their hands on the floor or a wall for support. The penetrating partner penetrates the receiving partner from behind.
The penetrating partner can level this position up by stimulating the partner’s genitals.
10. Face-Off
How to: The penetrating partner sits on a toilet seat or a shower shelf. Then, the receiving partner straddles the partner on top of their cock or dildo with their legs on both sides, placing their shins on top of the seat for support.
This sex position is intimate. From the term itself, both partners should be facing each other. This is one of the best sex positions for deeper intimacy and building connection. You can stare into each other’s eyes and feel each other’s breath and skin.
You can level up your experience in the Face-Off sex position by using toys.
11. Blowjob
How to: The best way to give a blowjob inside the shower is for the receiving partner to kneel.
This is one of the simplest shower sex positions, but still highly erotic and stimulating for the penetrating partner. It’s also safe, as both partners can keep their balance while they do the deed.
12. Cunnilingus
How to: If a blowjob can be done in the shower, you can also do cunnilingus. What’s important is not to get yourself in a difficult position where balance is hard to maintain. The receiving partner can stand and have their legs spread.
Then the penetrating partner sits on the mat or on the floor under the receiving partner’s vulva. They can place their hands on the floor for support as they give oral to their partner.
13. Chairman
How to: The penetrating partner sits on the toilet seat or shower bench. The receiving partner straddles their partner, with their legs on both sides of their partner.
You can level up the Chairman shower sex position by using your hands to stimulate your clit if you have a vulva as your partner penetrates you. The penetrating partner can also use their hands to stimulate their partner’s nipples or clit, or even hold them at an angle as they thrust into them.
14. Lotus
How to: This shower sex position requires both partners to sit on the floor, so you may need a mat or a towel to keep your butts clean. The penetrating partner sits cross-legged on the floor.
Then, the receiving partner sits on their lap with their legs wrapped around their partner. Both partners should be facing each other.
The Lotus is the best go-to sex position if you want to rekindle the spark in your relationship and build connection and intimacy with your partner. It is a tantric sex position where the partners are mindful while they’re having sex.
They are mindful of their breaths, the sensation of each other’s skin, and gaze into each other’s eyes.
3 Tips to Enhance Your Shower Sex Experience
Use the Tools Around You
What makes shower sex steamy or more exciting is that you can use the tools around you as free sex toys. You can use soap to explore your partner’s body, the showerhead to stimulate your genitals, and the tub water for a more intimate oral exploration.
Use Your Senses
Feel the added sensation of water pressure and temperature. Using the sense of touch, smell, and sound, combined with the additional stimulation around you, can build arousal.
Use Waterproof Sex Toys
It’s a no-brainer that sex toys can level up your sexual experience. But if you want to use sex toys for shower sex, use those that are waterproof. After all, you don’t want your money to go down the drain or have your sex toys break midway.
Among the best toys to use for shower sex is BeYourLover’s Wavey. This sex toy is waterproof with an IPX6 rating. It is also multifunctional, with suction, vibration, rotation, and heating modes you can use for a highly customized experience.
The Usagi Rabbit Ear Cock Ring is also a great choice. Like the Wavey, it also has a waterproof IPX6 rating. It is also multifunctional and can be used with a remote. It also has an attachment that stimulates a person with a vulva or a penis.
You Don’t Need to Be in a Fancy Hotel to Have Wild Sex
Having wild sex is all about consent, creativity, and, of course, connection with your partner. These are the key ingredients for good sex, no matter where you are. With these key ingredients, you can make even sex in the shower feel like a 5-star hotel experience.
Just make sure to be in sex positions that are shower-safe. Avoid those that require intense balance or flexibility, as well as those that require heavy lifting. Examples of sex positions to avoid are the Wheelbarrow, Flatiron, and the Butter Churner.
If you want to level up your shower sex experience, use the tools that are already in the shower, like soap and water. You can make it even better by using sex toys. Find the best sex toys for shower sex at BeYourLover.
