1. It is possible to damage the mucous membrane of the vagina
Mucus protects the vagina from bacteria and injuries. But hot water, especially in a hot tub, can disrupt this barrier. So it becomes very easy to get irritation and to befriend harmful microorganisms as well.
2. Sex can be uncomfortable
Because natural lubrication is washed away, sensations during sex vary from not very pleasant to painful. Lubricants come to the rescue, but they also stop working under the long influence of water and the chemicals contained in it for cleaning.
3. You can get a vaginal infection
Chlorinated water alters the pH of the vagina, causing thrush and bacterial infections. If you are already prone to such diseases, having sex in a pool or a tub is definitely not worth it.
4. The risk of contracting sexually transmitted infections increases
It's a mistake to think that chlorinated water somehow protects against STIs. It's quite the opposite.
Water is a poor lubricant; because of it, microcracks can form in the vagina, increasing the chances of contracting herpes or HIV.
In this sense, having sex in water without a condom is particularly dangerous.
5. The act of love can end with a rash
Prolonged stay in a hot tub poses a risk of pseudomonas folliculitis, caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria. It looks like a profuse rash of pimples and is accompanied by severe itching.
The good news is that folliculitis will go away in a week. But if you're crazy enough to continue your water fun after getting infected, be prepared to itch for a whole month.
6. The chances of getting pregnant in a tub are the same as in bed
On one hand, sperm just floating in the water cannot fertilize. On the other hand, during penetration, water does not prevent pregnancy. So there's another strong reason to use protection in the tub or pool.
7. Sex in the shower is also dangerous
Making love in the shower is more hygienic than in a hot tub. But it's also more injury-prone. If you decide to try such an experience, use only very stable positions. Otherwise, you might break something.
Conclusion
Sex in water seems exciting, but in reality, it is associated with serious risks. This is especially true for sex in a hot tub. But if there is no turning back, at least take care of contraception. And hope for the best.
