As depicted in many cliché romance movies, hot tub sex is often portrayed as the ultimate way to fulfill your wildest desires. However, in reality, indulging in this steamy activity can present some challenges that may be glossed over on the big screen.
From potential infections and slippery surfaces to skin irritations, there are some awkward factors to consider when it comes to getting frisky in a jacuzzi. Despite these obstacles, fear not! There are plenty of ways to make it work and add some sizzle to your hot tub experience. Check out this blog for tips on making your soak time extra sexy.
Set Up the Mood Right
Here are a few ideas to turn your ordinary jacuzzi night into a romantic hot tub date.
- Add some spice to your date or partner’s night with a sensual playlist.
- Choose a scent that significantly appeals to your senses and decorate the area around your spa with candles.
- Buy your date a bouquet, or try floating flower petals in the hot tub for an elevated, romantic look.
- Pick out or make your soap for sensitive skin to use during the experience. Don’t forget to wash each other off afterward. This tip is best for jacuzzi bathtubs rather than chemically treated hot tubs.
You will be burning plenty of calories in the tub, so if you want to boost your mood, make chocolate-covered strawberries beforehand.
Get the Most Comfortable Temperature
Our body temperature naturally increases when we engage in sexual activity – resulting in a sweat after performing the act. As with any form of exercise, our body temperature increases when we engage in sexual activity. Therefore, you’ll want to make sure your tub doesn’t make the experience too hot with its added heat. Also, when you use condoms as protection, you need to be aware that temperatures (above 104°F) combined with chlorine in the water can cause them to break and make them ineffective. On the subject of condoms, remember to put your condom on before you get in the water and remember that being in the water itself may make it more likely that your condom will fall off.
Put a Lubricant Into Action
Despite the misconception that hot tub sex would be slippery and wet, it is quite the opposite. Even though you get wet in a hot tub, it may not be the way you want. When water comes in contact with the skin, it removes many of its naturally moisturizing oils, especially if the water is heavily chlorinated or too hot. So you want to use lube every time you’re going for penetrative sex. See, it is easy to overheat in hot water since we are unaware of how much we are sweating. The drying effect of water may increase friction and discomfort during sex.
Try Exploring Nonpenetrative Sex
The pH level of the vagina can be altered by chemically treated water, which increases the risk of infection. Due to the combination of hot water and pool chemicals, condoms, and other barriers are more likely to slip or rip. Just as on land, you are still at risk of getting pregnant in the water. You can avoid some of these risks by opting for nonpenetrative sex (which offers all the fun but has less room for discomfort) or using the tub as a foreplay location if you still want to get frisky in the hot tub. You can pleasure your partner in the tub without engaging in penetrative sex by having one partner sit outside on the ledge while the other partner engages in oral sex from a distance.
Afterwards
When people have sex, whether it is penetrative or nonpenetrative, they often enjoy and/or require sexual aftercare, which is the time they spend taking care of one another. In addition to strengthening your relationship with your partner, taking care of one another can provide individuals with the feeling of security and safety they need.
When you leave the hot tub, towel each other off, apply moisturizer together, massage each other, or get in bed and snuggle. Put on your favorite pajama set or robe, drink a cup of tea, light a candle in your room, and read a book or watch a feel-good movie if you are by yourself afterward.
