This Is Actually How You Have Shower Sex

For those who want to get a bit dirty while getting clean. Trojan Riviera Lubricant is perfect for making those sexy shower times hot and steamy.

OK, so shower sex seems hot and all. But most of us have tried it, and it just ended up like this:

If done right, though, shower sex can be an incredibly intimate experience. Here are some essentials that might help you get it right next time...

Shower mats are a shower must.

Putting a shower mat with some traction down in your shower will help keep the both of you from slipping.

Shower rails are also essential.

If your shower doesn't already have one, you can get ones that attach via suction cups. (Just make sure those suction cups are, uh, extra suctiony.)

Consider rockin' water shoes for extra shower traction.

Sure, they're not stylish, but like the shower mat, they'll keep you from slipping when you start busting out the acrobatics.

You'd be a fool not to use a shower stool.

One of you can rest a leg on it, hold onto it, or even sit on it in the act. The possibilities are endless, really.

Watch the heat. (The water temperature, that is — not the actual sex.)

If either of you feel yourselves getting lightheaded or dizzy, it might be time to get out for a breather.

But also make sure you keep on rotating so you both get to share the water stream equally.

Nobody wants to be left out in the cold.

Now that we have some basics out of the way, let's get down and dirty.

Shower sex is the perfect time for sensual foreplay.

Get into it. Lather each other's bodies, feel the water drip down you, and use it to guide your exploring hands.

For the actual sex part, try having both of you face the same direction.

The person in front will have to bend their legs, especially if they are shorter to make this work, but they'll also be able to rest their hands on the wall in front of them for support. The person behind will have to squat and bend a little to accommodate the person in front.

Another way is by facing each other and having one of you lean against the shower wall behind you.

This way, the person against the wall will be supported. They can also lift their leg up to make the angle easier for the standing person, and the standing person can hold that leg up if the wall-leaner gets tired. Remember that stool we talked about earlier? It would come in handy here.

The most important thing: Use lube. Specifically, a silicone-based lubricant.

Water will dry out your bodies' natural lubricants, and water-based lubricants will just wash off under the shower stream.

Above all else, take it slow and be safe!

Shower sex can be dangerous if you aren't careful. When trying any of the above or even experimenting on your own, make sure you take it slow and feel comfortable at every step.

Good luck.
