Is a condom necessary for sex in the shower?

Well, the water does not protect you against STDs, HIV or pregnancy. It is also not the case that the water washes away the sperm cells.

A condom is therefore necessary, but the use of this is not always easy in the shower or in the bath. The risk of slipping or tearing is great. Therefore, you should use an extra contraceptive when having sex under water, and you must be sure that you both do not have STIs.

Condom + oil, soap or shampoo

If you take a bath and fill it with foam or straw balls, or give yourself a wash in the shower, the oil from those products can affect the rubber of the condom.

Latex condoms can not tolerate fat. Bath oils, body lotion, massage oil, Vaseline or hand cream do not go with condoms anyway. You should also pay attention to products such as shampoo, soap and lotion. This can contain components that affect the latex of the condom.

Condom + water

In addition, sex under water is often difficult, because both the lubricant that is present on the condom and the vaginal fluid, the natural lubricant that the vagina produces when excited, are washed away. Water does not slide as well and after a while you get a pulling, abrasive feeling and chance of irritation. The condom can also easily roll off due to the water.

Stand for under the shower

Some people therefore have mainly oral sex in the shower. Other popular stands for the shower are the mountaineer or the kitchen work stand.
