What’s not to like about shower coupling? It’s steamy (literally), streams of water cascade down both lovers’ bodies and, of course, both are already bare. Shower coupling can be thrilling for both partners, but there are special considerations that need to be kept in mind, ones that don’t always come into play in the bedroom (or any other place besides the shower). Regular showers are clearly a component of good male organ health, and shower coupling can be a healthy component of one’s romantic life when the following are taken into account.

Lube Back-Up

There are few places wetter than the shower, but, somewhat ironically, showers can dry out natural lubrication from the male and female organs. That’s because the water washes away the organs’ lube, and water simply doesn’t pass muster when it comes to providing adequate friction prevention during coupling.

Silicone-based lubricants are a couple’s best bet in the shower, as they’re the hardest for shower water to wash away. Ample lubrication is important for preventing friction that can result in male and female organ soreness. So keep a good silicone-based lube handy for shower play.

Be Safe

Nothing kills the mood like a partner slipping in the tub during intimate activity. This is not only categorically unappealing, but poses a serious health risk should the fallen partner smack his or her head on the tub or wall.

The first step to preventing falls during shower coupling is to ensure that a shower mat is placed securely on the base of the tub. Shower mats provide friction that prevents slips on the wet, soapy shower floor.

Second, couples should consider investing in a few shower handles. Inexpensive, detachable handles with suction cups allow partners to move them around easily, helping keep both partners steady in a variety of positions.

Another safety area to consider is the use of protection. Some are concerned that barriers are more likely to slip off in the shower. Men can combat this concern by not standing directly in the water stream.

Don’t Push It

For some people, coupling in the shower means more openness to activities they aren’t interested in when in a dry environment, particularly when their usual lack of interest involves concerns of cleanliness. Posterior play, whether penetration or stimulation by a finger or mouth, is one common area of sensual activity that becomes more acceptable to some when in the shower.

However, a man should never assume that a partner who is uninterested in posterior play outside the shower is necessarily down for it during sudsy time. Ideally, couples will discuss this before the clothes come off. If partners are already in the shower and a man wants to know, he should always ask before pursuing a new sensual activity. Never place one’s finger, mouth or male organ near another’s posterior without prior consent. Otherwise, a man risks not only turning a partner off completely, but violating him or her as well and causing a major rift in trust.

Take Care of the Male Organ

If a man has taken the above considerations into mind, he’s likely to have some pretty amazing coupling sessions in the shower. Even though he may have used plenty of lube, it’s not unheard of to experience manhood soreness or irritation after vigorous romps.  That’s why applying a moisturizer to the male organ is a good idea. A quality male organ health cream (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) not only contains natural hydrators like vitamin E and Shea butter, but ingredients that promote member sensitivity and proper blood flow as well, like acetyl L-carnitine and L-arginine. Keeping the coupling safe and the male organ healthy will benefit both partners, whether in the shower or in bed.
