Dear LELO,<\/strong>
\nMy friends and I had a discussion recently about whether it is safe to have sex in water (pool, jacuzzi etc.) or not and honestly, not one of us was completely convinced on our answers. Please help by shedding some light on the wet, wet, wet issue!

Dear I Love Pool Sex,<\/strong><\/p>\n

I hate to burst your bubble (bath) but the truth of the matter is that while many movies and TV shows have made getting wet and wild look pretty steamy, \u00a0you\u2019d be heading for some dangerous waters.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wetter Ain’t Always Better<\/h2>\n

But hang on, don\u2019t we always say \u2018the wetter the better\u2019? \u00a0Well the \u2018wetter\u2019 that you want during sex is slick and slippery, not really like water at all. The vagina is self-lubricating and should you need extra help from water- or silicone-based lube<\/a> for anal or just for the feels, these are both most likely to be washed away in the ocean or swimming pool. Not only will it make things a lot less comfortable for both partners, the person on the receiving end of any penetration is likely to also be receiving some serious micro-tearing in their sensitive bits, which can lead to infection – including higher chances of contracting an STI.<\/span><\/p>\n

And not to further rub salt water on the wound, but condoms<\/a> are less likely to work in water. They\u2019re <\/span>more likely to tear through lack of lubrication<\/span><\/a>, and latex can also degrade in heat and chlorine.<\/span><\/p>\n

Irritating Irrigation<\/h2>\n

As much as you may have been inspired by a certain <\/span>sexy scene<\/span><\/a> in the 90s film masterpiece <\/span>Wild Things<\/span><\/i>, pools and jacuzzis are a definitely-not-so-sexy cocktail of different chemicals which some people may find irritating when getting frisky (we know, we\u2019re really kicking the dog while it\u2019s down). Even if you\u2019re thinking of taking your sexual escapades to the outdoors for some sex au naturale, don\u2019t be fooled; the absence of those irritating chemicals means that there is plenty of bacteria and waterborne who-know-what-else that can get all up in your junk.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018But LELO, what about some sexy mouth action?\u2019 I hear you cry. Even if you think your lungs are up to the challenge of an underwater blow job or lick out, which we\u2019d be truly impressed by, unfortunately you\u2019re going to have to be extra careful. Watch what kind of body of water your attempt this in, because \u2018<\/span>beaver fever<\/span><\/a>\u2019 is not nearly as fun a disease as it sounds. Yelp!<\/span><\/p>\n

The Lucky One<\/h2>\n

However, don\u2019t give up on your wet dreams just yet; \u201cit wasn\u2019t over,and it still isn\u2019t over!\u201d Your steamy water fantasies can be fulfilled in a magical place\u2026 *drum roll please*…the shower! Although this may seem like a let down, by setting the right atmosphere and trying out some new <\/span>sex positions<\/span><\/a>, you\u2019ll turn your bathroom into the Cote d\u2019Azur and be screaming \u2018Oh mon Dieu\u2019 in no time. We recommend some candles, <\/span>sexy music<\/span><\/a> and your favourite <\/span>waterproof sex toy<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Keep your lube at hand so you can reduce the risk of tears and infections while making your aquatic romp more pleasurable, then go make like Bond and <\/span>S\u00e9v\u00e9rine<\/span> and let the SkyFall!<\/span><\/p>\n
