7 Things You Need to Know When Having Sex in Water
Sex Underwater sounds pretty exciting and intimate, right? You must have seen those movies where intercourse is performed underwater especially when it’s winter and you have a hot tub to dive into.
It is actually very helpful if you wanna try different moves as many of the moves are tricky to be performed on dry land. Water provides you the buoyancy to go wild and try all the moves you got. But as much as the pleasure is involved, the more is the risk. There can be serious injuries to you or to your partner. Taking some measures, you can easily experience a new level of pleasure.
Serious Dry Down
Most people think that water is an amazing lube, but it’s not the case as water washes away all your natural lubrication. So it can be a lot harder for you to stay as wet and comfortable during intercourse in the water.
It is scientifically proven that while plunging in and out of your vagina underwater, some of the water will naturally find a way in and wash all your vaginal lubrication for sure. In long term, it will cause vaginal irritation and dryness. In such situations, lubricants will surely come in handy when you are having sex underwater.
Chance of pregnancy
You will get pregnant if someone ejaculates inside you, even if you are underwater. There is a high chance of release of semen during intercourse even before ejaculation, and you might get pregnant. Even if water goes inside your vagina, it may wash away the semen, but it’s not a surety that all the semen will get washed off and there is a major chance of pregnancy.
Even contraception isn’t so useful in such situations as it might break.
Bad Water quality
Public bodies like pools have chlorine, still, they can also have a lot of bacteria. One of the main reasons is improper pH level which makes it harder for the disinfectants to do their jobs. Lake and oceans are a lot dirtier. The idea of getting more close to nature may cause you serious injuries. There is a chance that you are pushing bacteria or other germs into the vaginal canal and your body.
Risk of Yeast Infection
Chlorine is also responsible for yeast infections that cause vaginal irritation and may disrupt your delicate pH down there. If your pH is disturbed in any way, it will leave you in pain during sex and will also cause abnormal discharge.
STI transmission Possible
Even if chlorine is present in the water, it’s not capable of destroying all the bacterias. Water also doesn’t have such magical properties to eliminate all the bacteria’s. Especially in the condition where you can’t use condoms so easily, it’s a bit problematic. Performing intercourse underwater has a high risk of getting an STI.
Possibility of getting a UTI
All the bacteria present in the water can also get pushed into your urethra (which is a small opening that pee comes out of) during sex. This bacteria will go up to the bladder and will cause you a UTI. UTIs can lead to many kinds of uncomfortable symptoms like pain and burning while peeing and even having blood in your pee.
Digital Penetrations Risks
Digital Penetration can also be an issue that may cause you UTIs as your hands are all dirty which will lead to a transfer of bacteria into your body. This may also cause irritation and infection as you’ll be pushing germs into the vaginal canal.
All that said, having sex in water once or twice is not going to be hugely detrimental to your health, so don’t worry too much if you want to try that one time in the pool. Just keep in mind before you get wet that there are some risks. Cheers!
