1. You can damage the mucous membrane of the vagina

Mucus protects the vagina from bacteria and injury. But hot water, especially in a hot tub, can disrupt this barrier. So it becomes very easy to get irritation and make friends with harmful microorganisms too.

2. Sex can be uncomfortable

Due to the washing away of natural lubrication, sensations during sex vary from not very pleasant to painful. Lubricants come to the rescue, but even they stop working under prolonged exposure to water and the chemicals it contains for cleaning.

3. You can get a vaginal infection

Chlorinated water changes the pH of the vagina, causing thrush and bacterial infections. If you are already prone to such diseases, having sex in a pool or tub is definitely not worth it.

4. The risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases increases

It's a mistake to think that chlorinated water somehow protects against STIs. Quite the opposite.

Water is a poor lubricant, causing microcracks to form in the vagina, which increases the chances of contracting herpes or HIV.

In this respect, sex in water without a condom is especially dangerous.

5. The act of love can end with a rash

Prolonged exposure in a hot tub threatens with pseudomonal 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 are 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 the 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 in any way. So there’s another compelling 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 bath. But it is also more hazardous. If you decide to try such an experience, use only very stable positions. Otherwise, you could break something.

Conclusion

Sex in water seems exciting, but in reality, it is fraught with serious risks. This is especially true for sex in a hot tub. But if there's no turning back, at least make sure to take care of contraception. And hope for the best.
