Water Sex Tips: Positions, Toys, and Safety

An Introduction to Water Play

Water introduces new sensations and possibilities for intimacy. However, safety should always come first – only engage in activities you feel comfortable with, use protections if needed, and have open communication with your partner(s).

Setting the Mood

Dim lights, scented candles around the tub, and soft music can help relax and arouse. But don’t forget practical matters – have towels ready nearby and waterproof any electronics.

Foreplay Fun

Take your time with foreplay such as gentle caresses, back rubs, kissing, and massages. The buoyancy of water makes it easier to try positions like sitting in your partner’s lap.

Get Creative with Positions

Straddle your partner while they sit on the edge of the tub or lie back against the sloped end. Or try standing positions under an adjustable showerhead. Listen to each other’s feedback on what feels best.

Consider Waterproof Toys

Waterproof vibrators, dildos, and rings can allow for hands-free fun. Just be sure to thoroughly clean toys afterwards.

Afterglow and Clean-up

After intimacy, enjoy relaxing in each other’s arms or a soothing shower together. Be sure to drain and sanitize the tub when finished.
