The perfect place for a hot and steamy session. Somewhere to get down and dirty - to conveniently clean up again. A place that will wet your sexual appetite… Somewhere where gushing is promised. Ok, we’ve got the puns out the way… for now. Where are we talking about? The shower, of course! If you want to mix up your self-loving routine, then check our latest guide, and let the excitement wash over you.
Benefits of shower masturbation:
First, let’s look at the amazing benefits to rubbing one off in the shower:
- Crowded house? You’ve got a private, safe space to let go.
- No need to worry about leaving a mess or adding to the laundry, you’re in the perfect place for a quick clean down.
- With the gushing sound of the shower, your own gushing and pleasure sounds can be discreet.
- Two words: removable showerhead. Enough said. But we’ll go into this one later.
- Temperature play can be explored, along with water sensation, for heightened pleasure.
- You can play with those waterproof sex toys
Before you start
Some rules before you begin.
Clean setting
It may be an obvious one, but make sure that the bath or shower stall is thoroughly clean, but avoid harsh chemicals, like bleach. You should use soap and warm water to clean down faucets, showerheads and the bathtub.
Prevent slipping
Watch out for slipping or falling in the shower! Tackle this fun spoiler by using a slip-resistant mat for the shower stall or bathtub. Get into a comfortable position you can hold and feel stable in, and if you’ve got something to hold onto, then even better.
Avoid penetrative masturbation with showerheads
We’ll talk about how to use those removable showerhead later, but first, it’s important to state that you shouldn’t use them (or faucets) for penetrative masturbation. The heads and water can be used to stimulate the genitals externally, but they shouldn’t go inside.
Set the mood
Lights down low? Do you have a speaker you can plug in on the landing to listen to an erotic audiobook or sexy soundtrack? Maybe you love a candle, or two, or twenty! A bathroom lit up, glowing with delicious scented lights can create the perfect scene for some self-loving. Single on Valentine’s Day? Set yourself up with a romantic shower date: the ultimate act of self-care.
Get in a comfortable position
The right position depends on whether you have a bath tub with a shower or just a shower stall, and what type of shower you have. As long as you’re in a stable, safe, comfy position that works for you, then you’re good to go.
Some ideas:
- If you don’t have a handheld showerhead, you could try propping up your leg and using a sex toy (we’ll show you the kinds you can use later).
- If you do have a handheld showerhead, or a detachable one, then you could lie down in the tub, having the showerhead give you some… head!
- For penis owners, standing up and wanking, whilst the wetness of the shower gushes down your back is a good position.
- Why not use a super-soft, clean towel and wrap it around a faucet. Why? To grind up on, of course! You’re getting something hard down there whilst you’re getting rained on, in an ever so raunchy way.
- Suction-cup dildos are your shower self-screwing sidekick when it comes to the standing position. Stick them to the walls, and have your way with them; hands-free hotness!
- You could also sit back against the side of the tub and use those slippery, sensual hands. Slather your hands in silicone lube, and press all your fingers along the length of the lips, massaging in circles or an up-and-down motion. Or if you have a penis, then stroke and nourish it for a satisfying end.
- Mix it up! Go from standing to sitting, or vice versa. You don’t have to stick to one position.
Water temperature play
Did you know there’s actually a word for the arousal of baths and showers? Or maybe you didn’t know that’s actually a thing. Ablutophilia it is. And aquaphilia is when you’re sexually excited by water in general. Psychrocism defines the sexual arousal of coldness. So, yep, there’s quite the vocabulary out there. If you’re into BDSM sensation play, and experimenting with heat and coldness, then the shower is a great place to get a hard on in. Just make sure to practise the temperature switching and know where to stop it. You don’t want to go from ahhh to ARGHHHHH! Especially down there. You could have the hot water showering down your back, whilst pressing your sensitive areas against the cold wall, giving yourself exciting sensations.
Shower sex toys to wet your sexual appetite
You don’t have to use only your hands and the showerhead to treat yourself, there are sex toys to the rescue! What works well for the shower?
Suction-cup dildo
With a suction-cup dildo, you can stick them to flat surfaces, like the wall or the tub to get some hands-free humping. Coming in different sizes, lengths, colours, and designs, you can find your kink easily.
Tentacle dildo
Get really into the aquatic theme with some dildos to suit. With tentacle detail, these are perfect for aquaphiliacs, or for those who just want to try something new. From wide to thin, pink to green, these titillating tails will have you moaning in no time.
Double-sided suction cup
Built to hold those monster dildos in place, the double-sided suction cup is one of the greatest inventions ever made. Ok, we may be biased, but try it yourself! They come in large or small to fit specific dildos, and can support in excess of 6kg. We feel your eyes bulging already. Not only can you stick your dream dildo against the bathroom wall for some slippery slide-in, hands-free sexy time, you can also use it to attach two dildos to, and create a double-ended dildo. The best of both worlds.
Waterproof vibrators
Make some waves! Perfect for the bath and shower, a waterproof vibrator can powerfully stimulate whilst things get steamy. Just make sure to check the instructions. You can choose from a great range, with bullets, phallic friends, and egg shapes galore.
Male masturbators
Whether it’s a mimic sex toy or a prostate massager, those with penises can benefit from sex toys too. Be sure to check if they’re waterproof!
Vibrating nipple clamps
Why should our nether regions have all the fun? Give those nipples some naughty stimulation. With these waterproof vibrating nipple clamps, you can get titillating sensations in the shower or bath. Use them with other sex toys to feel the full force of your fun fuck buddies.
Booty blaster
Time for some bum fun. With this waterproof booty blaster butt plug, you can tease that taint and rectum to your heart’s content whilst getting a clean down. Why not read our anal masturbation tips for more inspiration.
Glass dildo
This one is ideal for temperature play, but it’s also brilliant for the bathroom. The material makes for a sensual shower experience. Experiment with cold and hot temperatures, and indulge yourself with some beautifully crafted dildo designs.
Using the showerhead
Let’s get into the ways in which you can use the shower itself to release that built-up tension.
The powerful stream of the water can really excite us. However it’s important to know that the water and the showerhead needs to stay out of your body no matter what. And you should always take care when it comes to blasting your private parts. The power of the water can stimulate the clit, labia, and anus; just try out different speeds and temperatures, making sure you turn that dial slowly.
If you have a vagina, you could lay down in the tub to focus that showerhead on the clitoris and lips, getting up close and personal, and then keeping it at a distance. Just be careful when moving closer in to not get it inside the hole. Or, you could stand up with the water showering over your naked body, feeling the pleasant warmth, as you use a sex toy or hands down below.
For those with a penis, you can also stand in the shower, feeling the warmth (or cold - whatever works for you!), dousing over your back, as you rub one off. You can use lube to enhance the sensations, and it’s an opportunity to get quite creative. Many penis owners like to use different textures, like a shower curtain or some cleaning mitts to stroke the shaft. Detach that showerhead, and give the underside of the balls or the anus some pleasure, using the water to get wetter in more ways than one.
What not to do with shower masturbation
- Don’t apply soap, shower gels, or shaving creams under the foreskin or inside the vagina. It may be tempting to grab your nearby bathroom essentials, but they can sting and cause infections down there, so leave them be.
- Lube is your buddy, even in the shower. Just make sure to avoid water-based lubes and go for a silicone lube or oil-based lube instead. Water-based lubes aren’t ideal for the shower because they will quickly run off. Also make sure you use a lube compatible with your sex toy.
- Speaking of lube, don’t go overboard. When in the shower, you already have to be mindful of slipping and falling, so the last thing you need is a big puddle of lube at your feet to add to that slippiness.
- Make sure to practise that temperature switching. You don’t want to get carried away, in the moment, to turn that dial to scorch yourself, or give yourself a shivering shock.
- Pay attention to your aim. Ahem, we’re talking to you, peckers. Please don’t give any of your housemates or relatives a shock by leaving any mess. You’re in the shower, so you’re in the perfect place to aim for a quick clean up!
