If there’s one thing pop culture has painted a not-so-accurate picture of, it’s
sex. Many television shows and movies would have you believe that sex is always steamy and orgasm-inducing.
Especially when it comes to shower sex. Pop culture would have you
believe that shower sex positions are easy to pull off, and that it’s
even a good idea to get a little extra steamy in the shower.
But
you soon realize just how challenging it can be to find the right
positions to pull of shower sex without slipping and sliding around.
That shouldn’t, however, keep you from trying. Because when done right —
and when expectations are realistic — shower sex can be quite
enjoyable.
So before you hop in the shower, take a look at some
of the following sex positions from sex experts who know the best ways
to get it on before you get clean.
Seated Sex
A seated sex position works in the shower or tub, according to Jess O'Reilly, PhD,
a sexologist and relationship expert based in Toronto. “One partner
sits on the floor and the other sits on their lap, both facing in the
same direction,” she says. “The top partner controls the speed, depth
and rhythm. You can try this one beneath the stream of shower water, or
on the other side of it.”
Tall X
For the Tall X position,
O’Reilly suggests one partner stands facing the wall and opens their
arms and legs to form a large X. “The other partner
approaches from behind,” she says. “Be sure to be careful to ensure you
don’t slip in the tub.” Having trouble with foot grip? Grab a shower mat to pull off standing positions.
Standing Doggy
For a variation of the standing position, Sunny Rodgers,
a clinical sexologist and certified sex educator, recommends having one
partner bend over at the waist and hold onto the seat of a shower, if
it’s there. You can let the water run over you, as well. “This position
allows for wonderful stimulation options,
with the [other partner] enjoying hands-free freedom,” she says, adding
that the standing partner can stimulate a woman's breasts or clitoris.
Oral Shower Sex
Oral can be excellent for shower
sex with the natural lubrication from your mouth. “One partner sits on
the edge of the tub [or on the shower seat], and the other kneels at
their feet to perform oral,” says O’Reilly.
Leg Lift
Get up close and personal with
your partner for this next position. “A great option is to have the man
lift his partner’s leg up for easier entry,” says Rodgers. “This means
only three feet on the shower floor, but this position allows partners
to be face-to-face so both can appreciate each other’s pleasure.” Your
man can lean against the shower wall for more support, or you can rest
your foot on the shower ledge if available.
Inside-Out
If you’re struggling to maintain
your footing, have just one partner stand under the water to start.
“One partner stands in the shower or tub, and the other stands facing
them on dry ground outside to maintain balance,” says O’Reilly. “The
partner in the shower lifts one leg to place a foot on the tub if you
have one.” You can also easily perform oral from this position, before you both hop on the shower together.
Almost Anything, With the Right Prep
Rodgers says to try, test, and tinker with new shower sex positions. “Shower sex
play is great for exploring the body and making a fun mess, with little
clean up,” she says. “The shower can also mask sounds so it’s great for
noisy sex play, as well.” With a little prep work, you can maximize the
amount of doable positions. In addition to getting a shower mat for the
floor, try “a pleasure product with suction cups, which will adhere to the shower wall and can be used to increase stability,” Rodgers recommends.
