As autumn gradually settles in and brings cooler weather with it, why not occasionally opt for a shower for two? The warm water gently flowing over us and sending shivers of excitement through our bodies, the wet kisses, our two bodies entwined ... In short, time stands still to make room for sexuality.

As a couple, we tried the experience, and it was highly stimulating. To add a touch of romance to the room and eliminate the overly bright, harsh lighting, we chose to add small candles for softer illumination. The confined space of the shower certainly added more of a challenge, but made the experience more exciting. This particular excitement may perhaps come from the fact that the bathroom is not usually a room where people frequently have sex.

Standing face to face, we felt truly connected to each other. We looked into each other’s eyes, our bodies pressed against one another. Even though arousal quickly increases under these conditions, we did not neglect foreplay, beginning with a massage. Caresses on our bodies covered in warm water were enough to make us forget the obstacle faced by all couples who have sex in the shower ... the sometimes perilous, vertical position in which we find ourselves.

We also used the water jets to heighten our arousal before moving on to the “serious business.” The shower wall proved to be our greatest ally for a stable and successful vertical position. With one leg around my partner’s hips, I was able to reach orgasm quickly.

To finish gently, still under the warm water jets, we washed and caressed each other again before wrapping ourselves in the towels we had thoughtfully put through a cycle in the dryer. To avoid getting cold when we stepped out, we had also planned ahead by raising the room temperature a few degrees. It may seem like a minor detail, but it makes all the difference once intercourse is over.

If this approach is not for everyone, nothing is stopping you from using it as foreplay before continuing under the covers.

And if you are curious to try the experience, be aware that water has an anti-lubricating effect. It is therefore recommended that you have an oil-based lubricant on hand to help with penetration.
