Having sex in the shower may sound enjoyable and relaxing. However, it is not as simple as that.

Having sex in the shower or bath is not the same as simply getting down on your bed. It may require some maneuvering to make it as enjoyable as possible.

However, the health risks associated with it are even more concerning.

Let’s look at some of the health risks associated with having sex in the shower or in the water.

PAINFUL SEX

Vaginal lubrication is essential if you want to have sex. However, if you have underwater sex, water will enter your vagina and wash away your natural lubrication due to the action of penetration. This will result in pain during or following penetrative sex in water.

INFECTIONS

If you already have a yeast infection, having sex in hot water may aggravate it. When you have penetrative sex in water, your chances of getting a yeast infection, Bacterial Vaginosis, or a urinary tract infection (UTI) increase.

CONDOMS MAY BE INEFFECTIVE.

The temperature of the water can deteriorate the latex or condom. Condom punctures may result in pregnancy or sexually transmitted infections.

It is not advisable to engage in vaginal or anal sex in such settings. However, touching, kissing, humping, and nipple stimulation are all excellent ways to turn on before having sex. It’s also worth noting that you should always be mindful of protecting yourself against STIs and unwanted pregnancy in any situation.
