Is It Actually Risky to Have Sex in Water?
I hope it’s safe, because I have plans
I had a joint bachelor and bachelorette party before my wedding. There were some ridiculous party favors (a blow-up doll, nude playing cards, and all sorts of penis-shaped trinkets) but no strippers.
That limited the sexiness, so I had to bring the sex myself.
The party moved from the house to the deck. And eventually, everyone made their way into the swimming pool.
Lots of drunk young people bobbing around in the water, celebrating two of their horniest friends coming together in matrimony — it was only a matter of time before the clothes came off.
Swimsuits were chucked over the edge of the pool. Others swam with their trunks held in their hand so they could stay in the water to cover up.
More than a dozen friends, hanging out naked. It was beautiful. It was inspiring. It made me kind of horny.
The nice thing about having a joint celebration is having my soon-to-be husband nearby to take care of my needs.
Fueled by hormones and too many coolers, I pulled him to the edge of the pool and stroked his cock under the water. With him nice and hard, I wrapped my legs around him and let him gently fuck me — in plain view of our guests.
As far as I know, no one could tell what we were doing. Maybe they thought we were exchanging a tender moment. Maybe just kissing. But since no one gave either of us a high five after I came, I’m assuming we managed to stay stealthy.
Fucking in the pool was so comfortable and fun. Feeling weightless while getting fucked is an extremely pleasant experience.
Once I sobered up, though, I couldn’t help but wonder if I had done something risky.
Not because we very much could have gotten caught (even if we did, most of our guests would have either endorsed our actions or gotten aroused themselves), but because I had sex in water. That’s something I heard you weren’t supposed to do. The risks were never clearly spelled out, only that there were some.
It nagged at me a bit, but I put it out of my mind. Until now.
I Want Some Water Sex
That was my last time getting fucked in a body of water, but it’s a recurring fantasy of mine.
No, scratch that. It’s a goal.
I want to live a pretty frugal life, but I’d like to have a few luxuries to make my life a bit more comfortable. And yeah, a lot of them have to do with sex.
I’d love a hot tub. I could chill in it. And I bet I could handle all of life’s little stresses a lot better if I was soaking in comfortably. But mostly I think about how much I’d love to have sex in one.
I feel the same way about a bathtub. I don’t find shower sex appealing. I’ve done it. The sex was good. But it would’ve been better in a bed.
I’m planning to invite Mr. Austin for some showers eventually (when the baby’s not such a baby anymore). Touching each other’s wet bodies and watching him scrub suds all over himself is really appealing.
But doing acrobatics while trying not to slip just so he can eat me out or penetrate me under the showerhead? That sounds like a recipe for throwing out my back.
So, shower sex is out. But I could use some bath sex.
Taking a bath is my primary form of self-care (if you don’t count medical cannabis anyway). It relaxes me, eases my emotions and anxieties, and just plain makes me feel good. Sometimes, I wish I didn’t have to get out and could just spend the entire day in it.
Why not combine it with sex? They’re two things I love and they might mix oh so very well.
Except, my current bathtub is slim. It’s not too slim for both of us to hang out in per se, but it is definitely too slim for us to do so comfortably.
One day, though, I want to get one that’s big enough so that Mr. Austin can help me enjoy my baths even more.
That’s what got me thinking about those old warnings about having sex in water. Are my hot tub and bathtub sex goals dead before I even got to start saving for them?
Lucky for me, I’m not the first one to ask that question. Here’s what I learned from doing a little bit of research.
The Kind of Water Makes a Difference
What kind of water you have sex in makes a big difference, and it mainly comes down to bacteria.
Fucking in a lake, river, or ocean has a little romantic edge to it, it and it lines up nicely with my #vanlife fantasies.
It’s also the riskiest type of water sex. Not because of those fish that could swim up your dick (seriously, how fucked up is that?), but because of the bacteria you’re exposed to.
The bacteria comes with all the usual conditions you can get when you’re a little too nasty for your own good: urinary tract infection, yeast infection, bacterial vaginosis.
Pools can give you trouble, too. The chlorine will take care of the bacteria, but too much chlorine can irritate you internally.
Thankfully, those risks are fairly slim, and neither of them even touch my big bathtub fantasies.
Water Ain’t Lube
The other big problem that gets brought up is friction.
Water can offer a little lubrication (as anyone who masturbates in the bath or shower knows), but it’s nothing compared to your body’s natural lubrication. Sadly, it’ll wash away that natural lubrication and leave you pretty damn dry.
The extra friction from water sex means you’ll have less fun, but it also means you’re at higher risk of injuring yourself (again, internally) or of having a condom tear if you’re use one.
That one’s got an easy fix, though you need a little forethought. It seems a bit counter intuitive, but you can use lube in the water.
Well, some lubes. Water-based lubes will just wash away. Oil-based lubes work, but you can’t use them with condoms. Silicone-based lube won’t wash away and it’s compatible with latex. So, you’ve got plenty of options for keeping things slick and safe.
Non-Penetrative Sex Is an Option, Too
If you don’t want to take the risks that come from fucking in a lake or a public pool or you don’t have any non-water-based lube on hand but you still want your partner and you want them now, you can just enjoy non-penetrative sex.
Dried out fucking is no one’s idea of fun, but a lake or river is an ideal place to give a handjob or rub your partner’s pussy.
If you’re not relying on the water to give you some cover from prying eyes, you can also stay in the pool or hot tub while you give oral to someone sitting on the edge. They might not be as comfortable as they would be in the water, but they’ll surely appreciate you licking their cock or clit while you stay half submerged.
Then, you can either leave the water and finish things off on dry land. Or just stay in the water and make each other come with your mouths and fingers, because that’s still a damn good outcome.
Water Sex Is Still in My Future
Like most of the warnings I heard about sex growing up, the one about not fucking in water was overblown.
There are some risks, but none that should deter anyone from enjoying some underwater fucking if they so choose. The only real danger that night I fucked during a mass skinny dip was getting caught by a nosy neighbor.
If you’re into water sex, too, the good news is that there’s nothing stopping you. A lake or a public pool might not be the most hygienic places to do it, but it doesn’t have to be a complete deterrent (whether it’s legal is another question altogether). Everywhere else, it just takes a little preparation. As long as you remember your silicone-based lube, you can have plenty of wet, sexy fun.
