How to masturbate in the shower without harming yourself.

The bathroom is one of the most comfortable places for masturbation. The door is locked, which means no one will disturb you, and you can relax. The water is running, which means you can moan in pleasure without holding back. Plus, it’s humid, cozy, and warm here.

Masturbating in the bathroom provides you with The Shower Is The Perfect Quarantine Masturbation Spot / Refinery29 the safest space for this intimate moment.

Here’s what you need to know to make your shower foreplay truly orgasmic.

1. Ensure safety

Giving yourself pleasure in the bathroom is a nice but slippery endeavor. Literally. The surfaces where water splashes (tiled walls, shower floor, bathtub bottom) are dangerous as they increase the risk of slipping at the most exciting moment.

Anticipate this: buy a non-slip mat for the shower or bathtub, and consider grab bars or silicone pads for the edges.

2. Beware of soap and shower gels

Yes, they improve glide. But unless they are products specifically designed for intimate hygiene, they don’t belong inside the body.

If soap enters the vagina, it can lower your natural pH level and make the mucosa more dry. This increases Vaginitis. Symptoms and Causes / Mayo Clinic the risk of vaginal infection.

In general, avoid exploring your own depths with soapy hands. It’s better to use specially formulated products for such experiences.

3. Prepare sex toys

They will come in handy if water alone is not enough to achieve orgasm or if you simply want deeper penetration.

You can find waterproof vibrators specifically designed for use in moist conditions at sex shops. However, visiting the store is not necessary: some non-electric treasures from your bedroom work perfectly for “shower” masturbation. For example, silicone, plastic, metal dildos or anal beads.

Don't forget to wash them after use and dry them properly.

4. Choose the right lubricant

If you are pleasuring yourself with a powerful stream of water, it will quickly wash away your natural lubrication. This can lead to discomfort, especially if you are using penetrating sex toys.

Therefore, a lubricant in the bathroom is beneficial. When choosing it, keep the following in mind:

  • Water-based lubricants won't work: they will be washed away quickly. It is better to use silicone or oil-based lubricants.
  • If you choose silicone, do not use this lubricant with a toy made of the same material.
  • Oil-based lubricants can compromise the integrity of condoms. Therefore, if for some reason you are using a barrier protection method (for example, planning to continue masturbation with regular sex), choose a silicone lubricant.

5. Be ready to experiment

The classic way to masturbate in the shower is massaging the genitals (vulva or penis) and perineum with the water stream from the showerhead. It’s really easy and pleasurable. But don’t limit yourself to just the showerhead.

Use the mixer

Adjust the water temperature to a comfortable level and increase the pressure. If you're a girl, lie on your back, spread your legs, and position your vulva directly under the stream. Move your hips, raise and lower them so that the water stream massages not only the genitals but also the pubis and perineum. These movements will send blood to the pelvic area, making it easier for you to reach the peak.

If you’re a man, get on your knees and, with your hands' assistance, let the water massage your penis until an erection occurs. Then, moving your hips back and forth, start penetrating with your hard member into the thick stream of water. This will help you achieve orgasm and ejaculate without using your hands.

Use the hydro massage feature

It’s easiest to do this if you have a hydromassage bath or jacuzzi. Immerse yourself in the water and take a position where the stream created by the jets massages your most sensitive areas.

If the hydromassage feature is not available, simulate it. Get on your knees in a filled bathtub. Switch the stream to the showerhead, lower it, and massage your perineum right there, underwater. This stimulation is softer and more substantial than just the stream. Perhaps this is what will bring you release.

6. Clean up after yourself

Fresh sperm and vaginal secretions wash away well with water. But if they dry, it becomes harder to remove them. And if they mix, for instance, with hair, stuck in the drain, there’s even a risk of clogging If you masturbate in the shower, can semen actually clog up the shower drain? / Quora the sewage system.

In conclusion: if you enjoyed yourself, rinse the bathtub or shower right away to avoid regretting it later.
