A guide to great shower sex: let's get steamy!

Shower sex sounds fun, spontaneous, and steamy, but anyone who’s tried it knows it can be tricky to get right. Between the slipperiness, cramped quarters, and hot water, a few adjustments can make all the difference between a great experience and an awkward one. Here’s how to enjoy shower sex comfortably and safely, so you can focus on intimacy without the hassle.

1. PREPARE THE SETTING

Shower sex can be exhilarating, but also slippery. For a safe and comfortable experience, you should prepare the setting.
- Clean up the space, you don't want to step onto a razor during your climax.
- Consider laying down a non-slip mat - a small addition to create stability, letting you focus on pleasure instead of balance.
- Make sure the water is at a comfortable temperature for both of you. Shower water can get hot very fast, so finding a middle ground where both partners feel good is key.

These preparations might seem simple, but they can make sure the experience is enjoyable, helping both partners relax and stay fully present.

2: DON'T SKIP FOREPLAY

Shower sex doesn’t have to be rushed. Take advantage of the setting for some slow, sensual foreplay. Try soaping each other up, taking turns with a gentle body scrub, or even massaging each other’s shoulders and backs. Allowing time for foreplay in the shower creates a more intimate moment, and the warm water can heighten each sensation. Go slow and savor it.

3. STANDING POSITIONS

Tight spaces and wet floors call for standing or supported positions that keep you both safe and close. Here are a few suggestions:

• Face-to-Face: Standing face-to-face allows for intimate eye contact and can make things easier in tighter showers.
• From Behind: This position is great for balance, as one partner can brace themselves against the wall. It also allows the other partner to control depth and movement.
• Use a shower seat: For those who want a little more stability, a waterproof shower seat can make the experience more relaxed and enjoyable.

4. CONTINUE ELSEWHERE

The goal of shower sex doesn’t have to be reaching climax—it can also serve as an extended, intimate form of foreplay. From there, you can move to a more comfortable space to continue and finish in your own time. So once you’ve enjoyed your steamy shower time, take a moment to cool down and rehydrate. Towel each other off, have a glass of water and continue elsewhere to finish.

With a little preparation, shower sex can become an exciting, romantic part of your intimate life. These simple tips allow you and your partner to skip the awkwardness and focus on the best parts of shower sex—closeness, spontaneity, and shared pleasure.
