Bathtub Sex Tips to Note Down

Ready to get drenched? Before taking the first dip in the bathtub, we have some important safety tips to remember before attempting these bathtub sex positions and staying away from any slippery accidents.

1 Watch the water levels.

Having sex in the bathtub requires you to be more observant of the water levels, ensuring it’s not too close to the brim. Especially when you and your partner are already submerged in the bathtub, you don’t want your actions to be too constricted so that water won’t flow out.

Sex involves so much movement to hit both your sweet spots, feeling excited to explore different angles. So as much as possible, keep the water as low as possible. Lower than your typical solo bathtub session, letting the water fill your entire body. You have another person to consider in the situation.

2 Check the temperature of the water.

If you’re shivering during sex, it should be from the penetration. Not the water temperature. In fact, the bathtub should be filled with warm to hot water for sexcapades, to a level where both partners are comfortable to move and such. According to sexologist Dr. Sadie Allison, warm water can actually “support more blood flow to your genitals”. Because more blood means your genitals become more aroused. Dr. Allison adds more to this, saying, “It (hot/warm water) may cool sooner than you’re ready to stop having sex, so starting hotter will help that (sex) last longer.”

Time to get hot-hot-hot before spicing up the sex!

3 Use protection.

Not so fast there! Just because it’s water and messy, it doesn’t give an excuse to take it raw in the bathtub. Even if you and your partner trust each other, protection is always key to ensure that the sex won’t make you contract STIs or STDs. Condoms are waterproof, and birth control pills also exist. So wrap it before you tap it.

4 Utilize the entire tub.

With the bathtub sex positions we presented earlier, it comes to show how much you can maximize the bathtub. Don’t be deceived by its space; it’s how you and your partner make the most of the cards you’re given. So before doing it, map out how you and your partner move in the tub and how to switch it up when you’re craving for more. Don’t be limited to just laying down and perhaps try to top your partner for a change. Or maybe sit on the edge of the bathtub (safely) while they go down on you. Be creative and take advantage of the spaces while you and your partner are pressed close.

5 Lube up.

Your natural wetness or your partner’s pre-ejaculation discharges may not be enough to keep the sex rolling, especially when experimenting with bathtub sex positions. Hence, lubricants are here to save the day! We suggest using silicone lube in this scenario as they don’t easily break down in water, urging the penetration to be more fluid (one with the water) and more impactful. Water-based lubricants aren’t your best choice here because they can actually dry out your natural wetness. That’s the last thing you want to occur when the sex is reaching its pinnacle, right?

6 Set the mood.

It’s important not to hasten things up before engaging in bathtub sex. You want to create a feel-good ambiance that allows you and your partner to be on the same page, with worries and fears left out the door. So ease yourselves into the sex, properly set the mood by playing music from your favorite artists, safely adding candles together on a surface far from the bathtub, and eating sweet aphrodisiacs. There are more ideas you can do, but having your own pre-sex rituals makes the session more special.

7 Try this at the right time.

Bathtub sex isn’t usually a top option when you’re in the mood, nor something you can wing easily. So it’s best to book a date and time for this occasion with your partner. Consider your current mood as well as that can affect your sexual performance. As bathtub sex often gives the impression that it’s soothing yet rough, it should be an instant go-to when neither of you is too busy and in much need to unwind from work. That way, you won’t have to be in your head and let the sex flow like the water around you.

8 Set your expectations.

Doing anything new for the first time is always the trial round, which means a lot of mistakes and imperfections. The same goes for trying bathtub sex positions, so don’t expect perfection easily. Sex isn’t meant to be perfect, but something meaningful to both parties. Regardless of your dynamic, sex should be fun and pleasurable. Managing your expectations is the best way not to get discouraged or let down, and to cut yourselves some slack. Perhaps set goals whenever you do it again so you can improve, making more memorable sexcapades.

9 Clean up after the deed.

This tip can go two ways. First, wash away your sweat and discharges by flushing the now-dirty water, then turn on the faucet again for fresh water. You can take turns shampooing your hair and applying soap on each other’s bodies; this is also another way to practice aftercare as it increases intimacy between you.

Another way is to wipe any excess water left in and out of the tub and soak the bathroom floors. You can either use a mop or a towel to scrub away and get the floors dry. Take a deep inspection that the entire room is spotless because no one wants to have an accident afterward.

10 Venture with sex toys!

Sex toys are close friends of yours and your partners, not enemies. In this time and age, there are a lot of sex toys suitable for wet sexcapades. Thanks to its skin-friendly, waterproof material, other body parts can be stimulated while your partner manhandles you (respectfully, of course). You can experiment with vibrators, dildos, suckers, and more for more heightened pleasure.

Takeaway

Bathtub sex may look messy, but when you try it even once, you can do a lot more within the space. As long as you keep the water levels and temperature at bay, doing the deed isn’t impossible. Keep it protected, clean, and adventurous when you and your partner are ready for some warm unwinding in the wet waters.
