Aquaphilia: Let's Get Wet - Bondara Sex Toys Blog

Caution: Things are about to get slippery! You’ve seen it in the movies and porn, but have you ever tried sex in water yourself? Dive in to these tips to enjoy better, wetter sex.


Aqua-What Now?

Aquaphilia is a group of water fetishes where sexual arousal is stimulated by water or watery environments. However, you don’t need to have a fetish to enjoy underwater sex!

Summer is the season for getting frisky al fresco, and the promise of taking a dip with a partner is extremely inviting as the temperatures rise. However, in practice sex in water isn’t always as easy as it looks on screen. Between slipping hazards and awkward positions, it can be tricky but with the right knowledge it can be extremely satisfying.

What Makes It Hot?

Even without getting down to the dirty, people can generally agree that seeing your partner in the water can be sexy as hell. Stripped down to their swimwear or bare skin, all drenched and uninhibited, or getting cosy and intimate in a hot bath… phwoar!

Also, as well as privacy a sexy shower means easy clean up for period or anal sex. Plus, if you’re going underwater, the water is supporting your weight and opens up possibilities (and positions). This is especially true for senior sex, or those with joint conditions.

So, how do you have sex and a swim without slipping?

Rub in the Tub

If you’re getting it on in the shower then your two go-tos are investing in an anti-slip shower mat for extra grip, and pick a position where you have plenty of support. This could mean both feet on the floor, or hands pressed to the wall. The easiest position is to keep the receiving partner closest the wall and facing it.

A bathtub or hot tub is perfect for taking your partner on their knees, like The Rubber Ducky, or having them straddle your lap.

For additional support you can also dip into your BDSM box for a handy pair of suction cup wrist restraints. Obviously use any kink item with caution where there’s danger of falls.

Pools, the sea, and rivers have unlimited space so play with it! Stick the shallow ends first. Try having the receiver float on their back with their legs wrapped around the giver, while the giver stands or sits on the bank to thrust. You could even get creative with an inflatable pool toy! Just remember; the deeper the water the greater the risk.

Steamy Stimulation

Don’t shy away from using showerheads or waterjets to titillate yourselves. Nipples, clitorises, any tender external area will do, just don’t power wash your insides and upset the pH levels!

There are lots of sex toys that are waterproof these days. Obviously, if they’re made of silicone and don’t contain any electric parts, like a dildo or cock ring, you’re good to go. However, check your vibrating toys are splash proof (IPX5/6) or submersible (IPX7 and up). These will be designed for baths or showers, so you won’t be able to take them snorkelling. When in doubt, it should be listed in the product specifications or you can contact us to more info.

Floating in a pool leaves your front exposed to play with. Suction toys for her, a bathmate for him, nipple suckers for you both, you’re only as limited as your imagination.

If you’re playing in salt or chlorinated water, grab your sex toy cleaner afterwards and make sure to thoroughly wash your toy! It goes without saying that you shouldn’t charge-up any toys near water…

Hydro-Hygiene

If you’re having sex in a body of water outside, there is always a bit of a calculated gamble. Natural bodies of water (e.g. a lake, the beach) will pose the highest risk of bacteria, and while swimming pools and jacuzzies contain chlorine there’s no 100% guarantee.

As with any penetrative sex, to prevent UTIs we recommend having a wee following sex to flush out your urethra. For water sex you should also take a warm shower soon, if not immediately, after you finish. To be on the safe side in wild water, avoid submerging your faces where you could accidentally swallow water that could leave you with a very upset stomach.

A more austere approach would be to only submerge yourselves up to your knees so you can enjoy the splish-splash without taking a chance. Or, focus on none-penetrative methods like oral sex and mutual masturbation.

Slippery and Wet

Okay, it’ll sound strange but you might find you get dry during water sex. It’s counter-intuitive but think about it, your natural lubrication is going to get washed away as it’s mostly water. Water-based lube will have the same problem, and water itself isn’t a great lubricant. This can lead not only to discomfort but increase your risk of micro-tears that could end in infection.

So, ditch your water-based lube for something thicker and slicker like a silicone lubricant. Condoms will also help, but make sure to put one one before entering the water to prevent friction that might damage it. Just be aware that chlorine can compromise condoms, and doublecheck that your lube is condom friendly. Lube will increase slipping hazards so try not to drip it anywhere other than your body.

Also, clean up after yourselves! No leaving wrappers or lube bottles on the beach please!

Is It Legal?

Okay, sex in public is a bit tricky. While not illegal, if it’s deemed that your intent was to expose yourself you could be charged with ‘public indecency’ and/or ‘indecent exposure’.

Obviously if you’re in a public, peopled place you’re going to get in trouble, but somewhere off the beaten track might only earn you a caution if caught. If you’re down to get wild in the water, be respectful of your surroundings. In short, if you can find a secret beach or woodland pond, you’re in safer hands than stripping off in the town centre fountain.
