Pleasure is one of the major factors that determines the overall health and well-being of an individual. S*x is a complex yet important need of any human. You can enjoy sexual intimacy in various ways and positions, and shower s*x is one of them. Shower s*x is the practice of performing sexual activities under a running shower. Many couples find this practice enjoyable and include it in their physical intimacy regime. However, this practice might not seem as comfortable as it appears. There are some things that one should keep in mind before sharing intimacy while showering, continue reading. 

1. Shower Floor

While practising intimacy in the shower, one must be mindful of the shower floor. According to Healthline, one must be careful when getting out of the shower or tub post-intimacy. Wet floors, floor mats, and bodies tangled in the throes of passion making their way to the bedroom make tripping a serious possibility. Always choose to walk with caution rather than running or jumping.

2. Use Protection

Due to the presence of water, shower s*x may appear to be clean and hygienic, but it does not prevent sexually transmitted diseases (STIs). Therefore, Healthline suggests that one should use condoms for penetrative and oral s*x in the shower. A condom can also be cut to use as a dental dam for going down or rimming.

3. Consent Is The Key

Not everyone might like this way of physical intimacy. Therefore, consent is the key. Ask your partner beforehand about whether they want to try this method or not, and be aware of their comfortability. Unless both parties are comfortable, you should not force your partner into this.

4. Communication

Communication plays a key factor in the success of sexual activities. Engage in active communication with your partner while shower s*x and ask them what they like and what does not work for them. It is important that both parties have open communication about their desires, needs and ways to make this process work.

5. Temperature

Another principal factor to consider before shower s*x is the temperature of the water. Be mindful of the water temperature, hot water probably works when it comes to sexual intimacy. However, too much hot water can make you uncomfortable and have less stable positions, therefore remember to keep the temperature moderate.
