Sex in the bath: with these 7 positions it works perfectly
Showering is a piece of cake (read here our article about steamy positions for the shower), but a bath literally has its limitations. Still, there is little more romantic and steamier than a bathtub full of flickering candles, where you and your lover can escape time and space in each other's warmth. No showerhead that is just not aimed at you, no icy tile wall against your butt, and no stream that precisely sprays in your eyes. The secret to good sex in the bath lies mainly in the right position, and with these seven positions, you can get the most out of those few square meters.
What do you need to know before you step into the bath together?
Water sounds like the perfect lubricant substitute, but the opposite is true, as it washes away your natural moisture. Therefore, bring a silicone-based lubricant, which continues to work underwater. If you use condoms, never choose oil, as it weakens the rubber. An anti-slip mat at the bottom prevents a romantic moment from ending at the doctor's office, and keep the water nice and warm but not hot, otherwise, you'll both be dizzy and panting within ten minutes. Save bath foam and fragrant oils for afterwards, as soap in the wrong place can be quite irritating.
1. The bath spoon
He leans against the headboard, and you lie with your back against his chest, just like you would spoon on the couch. This is the ideal position to warm up slowly, as his hands have free rein over your entire body while the warm water does the rest. If you want to go further, you can lift yourself slightly and lower yourself onto him.
2. The amazon
Your partner sits with his back against the edge of the bath, and you straddle him facing him. You set the pace and depth, and the water makes you a lot lighter, making movement surprisingly effortless. Bonus: you can endlessly kiss each other in the meantime.
3. The reverse amazon
The same base as above, but now you sit with your back to him and look towards the taps. Support yourself with your hands on the edge of the bath or on his knees for extra control. The advantage of this variant is that he can easily reach your clitoris with his hands, which combines wonderfully with the rhythm you choose yourself.
4. The lotus
You both sit upright and opposite each other, you on his lap with your legs wrapped around his waist. Big, wild movements are not an option here, but that’s not necessary, as this position is all about intimacy, slow swaying, and looking deeply into each other's eyes. It doesn't get more romantic than this in the bath.
5. The bath edge
You sit on the edge of the bath (place a folded towel on it for comfort), and your partner kneels between your legs in the water. This is the perfect position for oral pleasure, but it also works well for sex if he sits high enough. Since your upper body is above water, you also stay nice and warm without overheating.
6. Doggy in the bath
Get on your hands and knees in the bath and hold onto the edge while he kneels behind you. The water comes up to about your waist and dampens every movement a bit, making this position surprisingly soft and sensual. A rolled-up towel or bath cushion under your knees is not a luxury here.
7. Playful with a waterproof toy
Not everything has to be about penetration, and the bath is the perfect place to introduce a waterproof toy.Lie back in the spoon position again and let your partner move the vibrator over your body and between your legs while you fully relax. Just check if your toy is really suitable for underwater use, as splash-proof is something very different from being suitable for a long bath.
How do you make sex in the bath even more romantic?
The atmosphere matters just as much as the position. Dim the lights, place a few candles at a safe distance from towels, turn on a playlist, and have two large soft bath towels ready for afterwards. And don't forget that the best ending might just be snuggling under the covers together, warm, languid, and smelling wonderfully of bath.
