How To Have Sex In A Bath Tub (step-by-step Guide)
I remember this one time, years ago, when I was first really getting into the whole exploring-different-places-to-get-it-on thing. My partner at the time and I were on this little getaway, just a cheap motel with a slightly questionable carpet situation, but it had a jacuzzi tub. Now, I’d never been in a real jacuzzi tub before, beyond the standard, slightly too-small bathtub at home. This thing was huge. Like, olympic-swimming-pool-for-two huge. We’d been eyeing it all day, a silent agreement passing between us. Later that night, after a rather disappointing attempt at a romantic dinner that involved lukewarm pasta and a mysteriously hard bread roll, we decided it was time. The anticipation was… palpable. We filled the tub, the jets whirring to life like a tiny underwater rave. And then, well, let’s just say things got a little… slippery. And a lot more interesting than pasta. It was a learning curve, for sure, but a fun one. Which got me thinking, you know? A lot of people probably wonder about this, but don't exactly have a hotline to the sex-ed department for bathtub-specific inquiries. So, here we are, diving headfirst into the wonderfully wet world of bathtub bonking. Grab your rubber ducky, folks, because we’re going to get steamy.
Let’s be honest, the idea of having sex in a bathtub has a certain allure, doesn't it? It conjures up images of romantic comedies, steamy movie scenes, and, well, the promise of a little extra… moisture. But how do you actually pull it off without feeling like a pair of confused otters flailing around in a tiny pool? Fear not, my curious companions. This isn’t rocket science, though it might feel a bit like navigating a miniature water park at times. Think of this as your friendly, slightly giggly guide to making the most of your watery rendezvous. Because who says sex has to be confined to the bedroom? The world is your oyster, or in this case, your bathtub.
So, You Want To Get Wet? Let's Talk Bathtub Sex.
First things first, let’s set the mood. This isn’t a spontaneous decision you make in the middle of a Tuesday afternoon while trying to scrub off the day’s grime. Well, it could be, but for maximum enjoyment, a little planning goes a long way. Think of it as an investment in pleasure. You wouldn’t go on a picnic without a blanket, right? Similarly, you don’t want to jump into a slippery situation without a little preparation.
Step 1: The Pre-Bath Prep: Setting the Scene for Success
This is where the magic really begins, long before anyone even dips a toe in. Consider this your “stage-setting” phase. It’s all about creating an atmosphere that’s conducive to romance, relaxation, and, you know, getting down. Nobody wants to be fumbling for towels in the dark with water dripping everywhere. Been there, done that, it’s not exactly a turn-on. So, let’s be smart about this.
Water Temperature: The Golden Rule
This is probably the most crucial element. Too hot, and you’ll both be dripping sweat and feeling like boiled lobsters before you even get started. Too cold, and you’ll be shivering, desperately trying to generate body heat, which, while sometimes a thing, isn’t exactly the ideal foundation for a steamy session. Aim for that sweet spot – comfortably warm. Think of it as a cozy hug from Mother Nature, but in tub form. Test the water with your hand or elbow before you commit. A good rule of thumb? If it feels good to soak in, it’s probably good for… other activities.
The Ambiance: Lights, Camera, Action!
Dim the lights. Seriously. Overhead fluorescent lighting is not your friend here. Candles are classic for a reason, but be super careful. We’re going for sensual, not a fire hazard. Battery-operated LED candles are a fantastic and safe alternative. Think soft, flickering glows. Maybe put on some chill music. Nothing too jarring or with lyrics that might be a bit… distracting. Smooth jazz, lo-fi beats, or just some ambient instrumental music can work wonders. You want to create a sanctuary, a little bubble of intimacy.
Gather Your Supplies: The Essential Toolkit
This is where that previous jacuzzi experience came in handy. You’re going to need things. Lots of things. Think of yourself as a logistical genius. First and foremost: towels. Not just one or two. Have a stack of plush, absorbent towels ready and waiting outside the tub. You’ll need them for drying off, for cushioning, for… well, you’ll see. Also, consider having a small, water-resistant basket or caddy nearby for anything you might need: lube (more on that later!), condoms if you’re using them, and maybe even a little glass of water or your favorite beverage. Keeping everything within easy reach prevents awkward scrambles.
Lubrication Station: Don't Be Shy!
Water is a natural lubricant, yes, but it can also wash away. And frankly, relying solely on water is like trying to paint a masterpiece with just one color. You need options! Invest in a good quality, water-based lubricant. Why water-based? Because silicone-based lubes can break down in water and, well, that’s not ideal. Water-based lubes are your best friend in a wet environment. They can enhance sensation, reduce friction (especially important in a slippery tub!), and just make everything feel a whole lot smoother and more pleasurable. Don't be embarrassed to use it. Think of it as adding a little extra sparkle to your already fabulous experience.
Step 2: The Plunge: Getting In and Getting Comfortable
Okay, the water’s perfect, the mood is set, and your emergency towel supply is strategically placed. Now for the actual entry into the aquatic arena. This is where the “slippery” aspect really comes into play. Safety first, friends! We want passion, not a trip to the ER.
The Entry Strategy: Gentle Does It
Don’t just cannonball in. Unless you’re aiming for a slapstick comedy routine. Slowly and carefully ease yourselves into the tub. You might want to hold onto the sides of the tub or even each other for stability. One person can get in first, then help the other. The key is to move with intention and grace. Think of it as a choreographed dance, with the tub as your stage. And remember, the surfaces are slippery. So, watch your footing. A little extra caution will prevent any unintended belly flops.
Finding Your Positions: The Art of Bathtub Gymnastics
This is where it gets interesting. Standard bedroom positions might not translate perfectly. You’re working with limited space and a lot of… give. So, flexibility and creativity are your allies. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
- The Spooning Position: This is a classic for a reason. Both of you can lie on your sides, facing the same direction. It’s intimate, allows for plenty of kissing and touching, and is relatively stable. The person in back can have easy access for manual stimulation or penetration. The water can provide a lovely, warm embrace for your bodies.
- The Cowgirl/Reverse Cowgirl (Bathtub Edition): For the person on top, this can be a bit more challenging due to the slippery surfaces. However, if you have a good grip or can brace yourself against the sides of the tub, it can offer great control and depth. The person on the bottom might need to adjust their legs for stability. You might find that slightly elevated positions work best.
- The Lap Dance (Bathtub Style): One person sits facing the other, with their legs wrapped around their partner. This allows for close intimacy and a lot of grinding. Again, stability is key. You might need to adjust your leg placement to keep yourselves from sliding.
- Back to Back: This can be surprisingly intimate and allows for mutual manual stimulation. You can lean against each other, enjoying the warmth of the water and each other’s bodies.
- The "Explorer": Sometimes, the best position is one you discover together! Don't be afraid to experiment. Try different angles, different levels of support. The water can actually help you glide and move in ways that might be more difficult on a dry surface. Just be mindful of what feels secure and pleasurable for both of you.
Pro tip: If you have a handheld showerhead, this can be a fantastic addition for pre- or post-coital cleansing, or even during for some added sensation. Just be careful not to spray water directly into anyone's eyes!
Maintaining Stability: The Grip and the Glide
This is the secret sauce to avoiding a slippery disaster. You need to find ways to anchor yourselves. This might involve:
- Gripping the sides of the tub: This is your most reliable anchor.
- Using your partner's body for support: Lean into each other, use limbs to brace.
- Positioning your bodies strategically: Sometimes, a slight angle or a bent knee can provide more stability.
- Drying off certain areas slightly: This sounds counterintuitive, but if a specific point of contact is too slick, a quick dab with a towel can help create just enough friction for stability, without making the whole experience dry.
Remember, communication is key here. If something feels unstable, speak up! Your partner will appreciate you looking out for both of your safety and enjoyment.
Step 3: The Main Event: Making it Work in the Water
You’re in, you’re comfortable (or at least, as comfortable as you can be in a tub!), and you’re ready to have some fun. The water can be your ally, providing lubrication and a unique sensory experience. But it can also be a challenge. Here’s how to navigate the watery depths.
Pacing and Lubrication: A Dynamic Duo
As mentioned, water can wash away. So, don’t be afraid to reapply lube. You might find you need it more frequently than you would on dry land. Think of it as a constant flow of pleasure. Also, pay attention to the pace. The sensation of water can be very intense, so you might find yourselves naturally slowing down. Embrace it! This can be an opportunity for deeper connection and more mindful pleasure. Don’t rush the experience. Let the water and your bodies guide you.
Sensation Amplification: The Watery Wonder
The water can actually enhance certain sensations. The warmth on your skin, the way it glides over your bodies, the gentle resistance – it can all add a new dimension to sex. Experiment with different movements. The way bodies move in water is different, and this can lead to new and exciting feelings. Pay attention to what feels good. Don’t be afraid to explore how the water affects your clitoris, penis, or any other erogenous zones. The gentle pressure and warmth can be incredibly pleasurable.
Hygiene: Keeping it Clean and Happy
This is important, folks. Before you even get in, make sure the tub is clean. Nobody wants to be thinking about leftover soap scum or… whatever else might be lurking. Give it a good scrub. And after you’re done, it’s a good idea to rinse off yourselves and the tub. This ensures a pleasant experience for everyone involved, and keeps things hygienic for future watery adventures.
Post-Bath Bliss: The Aftermath
Once the splashing has subsided and the main event is over, don’t just jump out and forget about it. Take a moment to cuddle, to enjoy the lingering warmth and intimacy. Dry off thoroughly, wrap yourselves in those ready-made towels, and maybe even share a post-sex snack or drink. The experience doesn't have to end when you step out of the tub. Continue the mood you’ve created. A warm shower together afterwards can also be a lovely way to continue the intimacy.
The Not-So-Obvious Perks (And Potential Pitfalls)
Beyond the sheer novelty, what’s so great about bathtub sex? And what should you watch out for?
The Perks: Why It's Worth the Splish Splash
- Novelty and Adventure: Let’s face it, it’s different! Breaking out of the bedroom routine can inject some serious excitement into your sex life. It’s a chance to be playful and adventurous.
- Enhanced Lubrication: As we’ve discussed, water is a natural lubricant, and combined with an actual lube, it can make things incredibly smooth and comfortable.
- Sensory Overload (in a good way): The warmth, the water, the different textures – it’s a feast for the senses.
- Intimacy and Connection: The close proximity, the shared experience, the need to work together to find comfortable positions can foster a deep sense of intimacy.
- Cleanliness (potentially): If you’re both clean and the tub is clean, it can actually be a very hygienic experience, especially compared to some other… adventurous locations. Plus, you can rinse off immediately afterwards!
The Pitfalls: What to Watch Out For
- Slippage and Injury: This is the big one. Be careful. Always prioritize safety.
- Water Washout: Lube can disappear. Be prepared to reapply.
- Limited Positions: You’re not going to be able to do everything you might do in a larger space.
- Temperature Control: If the water gets too cold or too hot, it can quickly become uncomfortable.
- Getting Water in Unwanted Places: This can be startling, or even a little uncomfortable, especially for women. Be mindful.
Ultimately, having sex in a bathtub is an invitation to play, to explore, and to connect in a new and exciting way. It might take a little practice, a lot of communication, and maybe a few giggles along the way. But when you get it right, it can be an incredibly sensual, intimate, and memorable experience. So go forth, embrace the suds, and have a wonderfully wet time!
