Bath time<\/span><\/a> is such a sensual affair, whether it\u2019s merely to get yourself all cleaned up, to induce feelings of relaxation and rejuvenation, or to experience a bit of cheeky sexy time with yourself or a partner.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"guide<\/p>\n

So, if you\u2019re all about making waves, we\u2019re sure you\u2019re going to love the sound of bathtub sex for so many reasons. Consider this your little go-to guide when it comes to having sex in the tub!<\/span><\/p>\n

Bathtub Sex: The Logistics<\/span><\/h2>\n

Size <\/span>Does<\/span><\/i> Matter<\/span><\/h3>\n

Bathtub sex is rarely anything like you\u2019ll see in the <\/span>movies<\/span>. In fact, some tubs are too small to even offer the luxury of sharing or getting it on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In a narrow bathtub, for example, you could go to town in the doggy style position, sure, but logistically, you should probably forget about taking a soak together, or trying other positions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Having said that, a wider bathtub is the bread and butter of bathtub sex. Have a whirlpool-style bathtub at home or at a hotel you\u2019re staying at? Lucky you!<\/span><\/p>\n

Also factor in that when you sit down inside the tub, the water level rises. With two people getting in, well, just don\u2019t overfill the bathtub, that\u2019s all we\u2019re saying.<\/span><\/p>\n

Protection<\/span><\/h3>\n

Unfortunately, condom use in water is a bit of a boner killer. If <\/span>condoms<\/span><\/a> are your primary (or only) source of birth control, you may want to sit this one out, as they have the ability to slip off when wet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Then, be careful what product(s) you use <\/span>in<\/span><\/i> the bathtub (bubble bath etc.) as it could enter the vagina (a kind of \u201cgush\u201d that\u2019ll only really happen during water play time), creating a possible bacterial infection. Perhaps keep the water au naturale, or do a bit of research on your products beforehand.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also, as it turns out, water tends to dry up intimate bits! So, we recommend having some silicone-based lube on-hand (<\/span>water-based lube<\/span><\/a> will simply wash away).<\/span><\/p>\n

On the Edge<\/span><\/h3>\n

After reading the above, perhaps you\u2019re a bit apprehensive about bathtub sex, we get it. But that doesn\u2019t mean you need to rule out the bathtub completely.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You could engage in a bit of oral sex<\/a> whilst one partner sits on the edge of the tub. Just be sure to have something sturdy to hold onto if you\u2019re nervous about things being\u2026 slippery when wet!<\/span><\/p>\n
