Is it safe to have sex in water? Engaging in water sex, including showers, bathtubs, and swimming pools, can be fun but unsafe. Underwater sex comes with certain risks. For example, public water may not be clean because there is no guarantee that chlorine will kill all the bacteria in the water. These bacteria may find their way into the vagina. Also, chlorinated pool water can cause pH changes in women's vagina, leading to vaginal infections. There are also risks of slipping in the bathroom and bathtubs, which may be fatal. With all these risks, here is everything you need to know about water sex.

Sex in Private Pools

When having sex in a pool, limiting your sexual activities to private pools is important. Public pools may not be ideal as people may be watching. You may also face legal issues like public indecency charges. Also, avoid sex positions that involve one's head submerging. For instance, it is dangerous to hug your feet around your partner's head while playing oral sex. Use the pool's features, like the steps and handles, for safety and comfort.

Sex in Hot Tubs

Although hot tubs are pleasurable, mostly on a freezing night, certain precautions must ensure safe sex in a hot bathtub. These include;

Take frequent water breaks so that you don't dehydrate yourself.

Regulate the tub temperatures when having intense intercourse.

Look out for signs of overheating, such as dizziness, intense fatigue, and increased heart rate. Leave the hot tub immediately in case of any of these signs.

Avoid having hot tub sex when intoxicated or under medication.

Sex in Open Water

This involves the oceans, lakes, or rivers. Many dangers, such as drowning, come with these water bodies. To avoid risks and enjoy more open water sex, consider the following precautions;

Engage in sex only on the shores, where you can easily get good positions to avoid drowning.

Try raft sex instead of salty water due to the PH, saltiness, bacteria, and chlorine in the water.

Learn about the water and the area to avoid being caught up with heavy currents.

Ensure nobody is around to avoid being disrespectful.

Sex in Bath Tubs

Having sex while bathing includes lots of delight and pleasures, although risks like slipping can occur. You can try the following tips to ensure your safety;

Get a bar to grab on for comfort and sturdiness.

Remove unnecessary commotion around the bathtub by eliminating objects that could otherwise drop into the bathwater.

Have sex in a large tub for more effortless movement.

Put bath oils in the water for a pleasurable and intimate experience.

Sex in the Shower

Running water is considered relaxing by many. Shower sex significantly reduces the risk associated with pools and other water points. However, there is still the danger of slipping and injuring yourself or your partner. Therefore, to have safe sex in the shower, consider the following precautions;

Get an anti-slip bathroom mat or grab a bar to hold on to, to avoid slipping.

Use a double-shower head to get enough standing space in the shower.

Avoid the use of slippery oils as they significantly increase slipping chances.

Use a detachable or coded shower head to evoke more stimulation and intense pleasure.

Other General Precautions

Use of Contraceptives

Some people believe that by having sex in water, one cannot get infections like STIs, and a woman cannot get pregnant. This belief and myth are entirely false. Therefore, while enjoying sex in the water, use contraceptives like waterproof condoms to avoid contracting an infection and unwanted pregnancy. The best choice of lube would be silicone-based as water-based will be washed away, and oil-based will degrade the condoms. Pay attention while using a condom so that it does not slip off.

Be Respectful

It is essential to be respectful and avoid being intimate in public. Be considerate of other people's feelings as nobody wants to watch or will appreciate your body fluids floating around them.

Use of Lubricants

When having sex in water, natural lubricants are easily washed off, causing pain and tearing of vaginal or anal tissues due to the unwanted friction. Silicone-based lube is a great choice because it is thick and not easily washed away. Water-based lubricants are not a great option as it is rinsed off underwater.

Bottom Line

Having sex in water is pleasurable and is loved by many. However, measures should be taken to avoid the risks and dangers that come with it. Being banned from public places or being charged with legal indecency lowers self-esteem and fun. You can avoid these by using private pools or bathtubs. Also, high cases of slipping when having water sex are being recorded. Therefore, consider the measures discussed above for a safe, pleasurable play.
