The 11 biggest sex-in-the-shower fails

One of the best things about sex is trying new things together. Some end up going well, others end up in the ‘once, but never again’ category. Sex in the shower usually lands right in the middle and has as much chance of going wrong as it has of being a success. That’s why we’ve gathered 11 tips that everyone should know before hitting the shower with their partner.

1. Keep in mind that you won’t look very sexy

Bodies look weird, especially when they’re jammed in a small place with warm running water. If you think it will look as sexy as what you might see in a series on HBO or in that one steamy movie, think again. Unless the scene in question has two people in it that constantly bump their heads or end up stuck in the shower curtain 😉

2. Your shower was probably meant for one person

It’s unavoidable that one of you will be cold when you’re in the shower together. Just try staying in the mood while you’re shivering.

3. There is no need for lube, right?

Why would you take lube with you into the shower? It will just be washed off, right? Yes, but you’ll soon find out that using water as lube doesn’t work at all. The vagina’s natural moisture gets washed away by the water, which will result in a painful vagina after your lovemaking session is done. So, try and take a bottle of silicone-based lube with you next time, which has a long-lasting effect and doesn’t get washed away as quickly as water-based lube.

4. The water will get in your mouth

If you, as a woman, have found a way to not end up with your mouth full of water during oral sex in the shower, we would like to hear how you did it! Not everyone gets excited by you gurgling water during a blowjob.

5. Do you feel dirty in the shower

Usually, the shower is a place where you go by yourself to scrub and wash the filth from your body. It’s not really a very romantic place. There are sponges that should have been thrown out years ago, mould spots on the ceiling, and caked shampoo residue decorates the bathroom tiles. All of which are things that can quickly get you out of the mood.

6. You fear for your life

There are only a handful of positions that work in the shower; the rest are incredibly dangerous! It’s a miracle they haven’t invented safety helmets to wear in the shower yet. Make sure you have an anti-slip mat before going at it because a bad fall can result in equally bad injuries.

Tip! Using an anti-slip mat in the shower can prevent nasty injuries and slipping.

7. You can sweat even in the shower

If you thought a sweat covered body was not on the menu during shower sex, you might be mistaken. Sex in the shower is rather exhausting, and all of the steam in that tiny box doesn’t really help.

8. There are no mistakes

If you don’t like shower sex, it doesn’t mean you’ve been doing it wrong. Chances are it’s just not your thing. Some people would prefer to do it in the shower every time, while others call it quits after a couple of tries. Do you not enjoy it? Then remember that not everything works for everyone.

9. You need to shower right after

You’ll probably hardly have time to lather or wash your hair before finishing things off in the bedroom. And wouldn’t you know it, it’s time to shower again. Before you know it, your frequent shower sex sessions will lead to a high water bill.

10. Sex in the shower is great foreplay

This might just be the best way to turn shower sex into a success. Use it as foreplay and finish things off in the bedroom. This also works in preventing those high water bills 😉

11. You leave the door open

In the heat of the moment, you could leave the door open. Which isn’t great if your roommates, kid or mother walks in all of a sudden. After all, you don’t want to be traumatized by your shower sex experience 😉
