Before you plan a raucous evening in the hot tub, check out this list. Especially if you are a woman. Most likely, the desire will disappear completely.

1. You can damage the vaginal mucosa

Mucus protects the vagina from bacteria and injury. But hot water, especially in a hot tub, can break this barrier. So it becomes very easy to get irritated, to make friends with harmful microorganisms – too.

2. Sex can be uncomfortable

Because the natural lubricant is washed away, the sensation during sex ranges from not very pleasant to painful. Lubricants come to the rescue, but they, too, stop working when exposed to water and the cleaning chemicals in it for a long time.

3. you can get a vaginal infection

Chlorinated water changes the pH of the vagina, which causes thrush and bacterial infections. If you are already prone to these diseases, having sex in a pool or bathtub is definitely not a good idea.

4. The risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases increases

It is a mistake to think that chlorinated water will somehow protect against STIs. It is exactly the opposite.

Water is a poor lubricant and can cause microcracks to form in the vagina, increasing the chances of contracting herpes or HIV.

In this sense, sex in water without a condom is especially dangerous.

5. The act of love can end in a rash

Prolonged immersion in a hot tub can cause pseudomonas folliculitis, which is caused by the bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It looks like an abundance of pimples and is accompanied by intense itching.

The good news is that folliculitis will go away in a week. But if you’re crazy enough to continue your water fun after getting infected, get ready to itch for a month.

6. The chances of getting pregnant in the tub are the same as in bed

On the one hand, sperm just floating in water is not capable of fertilization. On the other hand, during penetration, the water does not interfere in any way with getting pregnant. So there is another good reason to protect yourself in the bathtub or pool.

7. Sex in the shower is also dangerous

Making love in the shower is more hygienic than in a hot bath. But it is also more traumatic. If you decide to have such an experience, use only very stable positions. Otherwise you might break something.

Conclusion

Sex in water seems exciting, but in fact comes with serious risks. This is especially true of sex in a hot bathtub. But if there’s no turning back, you should at least take care of contraception. And hope for the best.
