Shower Sex That Doesn't End In The ER

Steamy air, cascading water, soapy naked bodies gliding against each other… Shower sex sounds incredibly erotic. In reality, the experience can be anything but. First, the close quarters and slick surfaces call for some pretty awkward manoeuvring. ‘And then there are the physical dangers, such as slipping and falling,’ says sex coach Alicia Sinclair. You’re aching for an orgasm, not an arm cast! That said, here at COSMO we are undaunted by carnal challenges, so we’ve come up with tips for safely pulling off a wet ’n’ wild session.

Get a grip

Holding on to the shower curtain as your partner takes you from behind can rip it down, and putting your foot on the slick edge of the tub for a better angle during face-to-face sex is asking for trouble. That’s why products such as the Sex In The Shower Single Locking Handle (R375 at Matildas.co.za) – made just for wet hook-ups, with a suction function to provide a safe grip – are must-haves.

Bring a buddy

An inconspicuous vibrating loofah, such as the Vibrating Mesh Sponge (R403 at Desir.co.za), can help you lather up and act dirty at the same time. Hidden inside the layers of mesh is a waterproof bullet vibrator. Let your partner work it all over your body, stopping at hot spots such as your nipples and clitoris for an X-rated thrill.
