You should move carefully. Don't switch positions too quickly, and always keep a firm grasp on something stable.

Andrew's Expert Tips To Spice Up Shower Sex

I enjoy doing it in the shower right after a long day at work or in the morning when I'm getting ready for work, and my wife slips in the shower to join me.

That said, I've picked up a few tips here and there from both my own personal experience and from hearing countless client stories. 

So, here I am to help you to turn up the heat in your shower.

Shower Tip #1 - Use The Shower Head

Adjust the spray setting to focus the water stream where it feels best.

This tip works because the detachable shower head can act as a substitute vibrator or wand, where direct spraying stimulates her clit.

Have your partner kneel on the shower floor or lift one leg up and onto the edge of the bathtub, aim the shower head at her private parts, lay back, and enjoy!

That's not all, use a double shower head; the extra stream of warm water running down your naked skin can spice up your steamy make-out session even more.

Shower Tip #2 - Don't Forget Silicon-Based Lube

Just because she's wet doesn't mean she's "wet". But be mindful that water-based lube is not the answer here.

It's likely to wash off. The better option is silicon-based lube because it doesn’t rinse off as quickly, so things stay slick longer.

Make sure it’s compatible with your shower-safe sex toys, which brings us to tip #3.

Shower Tip #3 - Add Some Waterproof Sex Toys

Now that sex toys are on your mind, it's a good time to mention that you should bring one or two in there with you.

Not all toys are waterproof, so read the instructions included in the box first. Opt for a high-quality toy and be creative.

There is a huge variety of waterproof sex toys. My go-to toy is the wand and I also enjoy adding clit suction devices, or anal plugs, just to mention a few.

Shower Tip #4 - Try Out Suction Cup Dildos

Suction cup dildos are one of my favorites.

This little guy does exactly what it sounds like.

It's a dildo that sticks to the wall, edge of the tub, or another surface for her to ride and enjoy.

Shower Tip #5 - Restrain Her With Suction Handcuffs

You know, you can get kinky in the shower, too. Don't let the wet environment stop you.

Instead of using bedroom handcuffs, try suction handcuffs.

They attach to the wall, so you can lock her hands up and introduce a bit of dominance, submission, and kink into your shower sex session.

A Woman's Perspective...
On Setting Up A Shower Sex Date Night

from Isabel
SEXUALITY COACH

Why not turn a regular evening into something extraordinary with a shower sex date night?

Trust me, I've guided many of our clients through this one, and it's usually a success.

This date night idea is a change of pace that adds some newness and excitement to your next date night.

I. Preparation Time

  • Clean the shower and don’t forget to tidy up the bathroom too. Doing so will set the right mood.
  • Take away all the miscellaneous bottles and replace some of them with soy candles or incense.
  • Charge all your toys because nothing kills the vibe like a low battery.
  • Check the water temperature; a warm but not too hot shower can make all the difference.

Women really appreciate it when their partner takes the time to get these details just right. It shows you care. 

II. Get Turned On

  • Start by massaging her with body wash.
  • Washing her hair or giving her a scalp massage can be incredibly intimate and soothing.

This kind of attention is a sensual act between you and her that allows her to forget all the challenges she faced during the day and instead allows her to get into her body.

Important Tip

The more turned on she is, the better the experience and the more likely she is to orgasm or even squirt

III. Enjoy The Main Event

  • Once warmed up, it’s time to try some of the hot shower sex positions mentioned above.
  • The steam, the water, and the intimacy of the closed space combine to create a very intense connection.

Moving together with the water cascading over you will make every touch and kiss feel amplified.

IV. Don't Forget Aftercare

  • Wrap her in a cozy towel.
  • Offer her water to hydrate.
  • Gently brush her hair.

These little acts of kindness show affection and appreciation. They’re also a wonderful way to wind down together.

Frequently Asked Questions

I've been asked 100s of questions about sex positions, and shower sex positions are no different! These are the most commonly asked questions my clients ask me, laid out for your viewing pleasure.

Does shower sex avoid pregnancy and STDs?

Shower sex does not prevent pregnancy or protect against STDs. Protection methods such as condoms are still necessary to reduce these risks, regardless of where sexual activity takes place.

How long after sex can a pregnancy test show positive?

You can expect a pregnancy test to show positive results about two weeks after sex. This timeframe allows for the hormone hCG, which pregnancy tests detect, to reach a detectable level.

How do you position yourself in sitting showers without a bathtub? 

You can sit in the shower on a sturdy plastic chair or stool. To avoid accidents, check that the chair is stable and safe to use in wet conditions.

How can we make shower sex less slippery?

To make shower sex safer and less slippery, place a non-slip mat in the shower. This mat provides a better grip and reduces the chance of slipping.
