1. Limit yourself to foreplay
If you feel uncomfortable, can't find a suitable position, and the idea of sex in the shower starts to irritate you, finish with mutual caresses. Touch your partner, play with the soap foam, kiss under the streams of water, give each other a massage—this will get both of you really aroused.
And when you've enjoyed each other enough, you can move to a safer place, like the bedroom. There you can continue.
2. Avoid soap
Lathering each other is very erotic, but only at the foreplay stage. If it comes to intercourse, put the shower gel away. If it gets on the perineum, it will become a strong irritant for the mucous membranes.
Under no circumstances use cosmetics as lubrication.
Otherwise, your night of love will turn into a nightmare.
3. Prepare a condom in advance
Tearing open the packaging with wet hands is not very convenient. While you're fumbling around, the romantic mood will dissipate. So take the condom out beforehand and place it nearby so you can grab it quickly.
And yes, contraception is definitely needed. Don't think that water will interfere with sperm and prevent pregnancy. It doesn't work like that. Moreover, a condom will protect you from STIs.
4. Don't forget about lubricant
You might think it's unnecessary: it's wet enough in the shower. But water is not a lubricant; it won't make penetration soft and pleasant. On the contrary, the liquid will wash away natural secretions.
As a result, dryness in the vagina will occur, and sex will lead to micro-tears.
If you're using non-condom methods of contraception, use silicone-based lubricant. Unlike water-based lubricant, it won't wash away.
However, silicone destroys latex, so with a condom, you can only use water-based lubricant. You will have to turn off the shower or position it so that splashes do not hit the genitals.
5. Be careful
Sex in the shower can be dangerous. It's easy to slip, hit yourself, or accidentally knock over shelves with bath items. Try to avoid sudden movements and don't lean on slippery surfaces—the edges of the tub or sink.
Put a mat or towel under your feet to avoid slipping on the smooth floor.
6. Choose the right position
Kneeling
This position is the most comfortable for oral sex in the shower; others are harder to achieve. The man stands upright, and the woman kneels. In this position, the girl can not only give pleasure to her partner but also stimulate her clitoris with her fingers or a sex toy.
Doggy style standing
The woman leans forward, supporting herself on the wall. The man enters her from behind. In this position, the partner can caress the girl's thighs, back, abdomen, and breasts, as well as stimulate her clitoris.
Doggy style standing with a lean
This option is a bit more complicated: everything is exactly the same as in the previous position, only the partner leans on the floor with her hands.
Face to face
The woman stands, raising a leg and placing it on the man. He supports her thigh with one hand and wraps the other around her waist. In this position, the girl needs to maintain her balance, so it's better to practice the position near a wall or another surface to lean on. The plus is that partners can kiss comfortably.
Ballerina
This position is for those who want to try something new and unusual. But it requires flexibility and agility from the girl since she'll have to throw one leg over her partner's shoulder. The man holds the woman by the hips or buttocks at this moment. If you're not sure you can replicate this, practice first in the bedroom.
Standing
Both partners stand straight, with the man behind the woman. If you have a small shower stall with no room to turn around, this is the only comfortable position. It is suitable not only for penetrative sex but also for mutual masturbation.
Octopus
You can try the next position by positioning yourselves under the streams of water. The man sits with his legs slightly apart and bent at the knees. His torso remains straight or leans slightly back, with his hands braced against the bottom of the tub. The girl settles between her lover's thighs and throws her legs over his shoulders. To maintain balance, she moves her hands back just like her partner.
Lotus
This also works for sex in a bathtub or in a spacious shower stall. The partner sits on the floor, crossing or folding his legs underneath. The girl climbs onto his knees and wraps her legs around his hips. In this position, it's comfortable to hug each other and kiss.
7. Choose waterproof sex toys
If you've decided to help yourself with a vibrator, first make sure it can be used in such conditions. The range of waterproof stimulators is huge nowadays. And if there's no suitable toy at hand, use a shower attachment: streams of warm water are great for arousal.
