" Have you ever had sex in the shower? Woman A: Yes, too many times to count (THAT&amp;#039;S RIGHT, BITCHES). Woman B: Yes. Woman C: Yes. Man A: Yes. Man B: Yes. With a serious partner? Casual? Woman A: I&amp;#039;ve probably done it with everyone I&amp;#039;ve ever dated, at least once. Woman B: Serious-ish (as serious as I seem to get, which is never very). Woman C: I&amp;#039;ve had shower sex with serious boyfriends only, but that&amp;#039;s just a coincidence. I&amp;#039;d do it with anyone. Man A: She was my girlfriend at the time. Man B: Both.  Was it awkward? Woman A: It can be for sure. The first time happened with my very first boyfriend. I was 14. I would ride my bike in the night, like, four miles to his mom&amp;#039;s house, sneak in through his window, and then we&amp;#039;d do it. One night, he wanted to do it in the shower. So whilst his family slept, he led me by the hand to the bathroom and we did it in the shower, in pitch black, while I froze my ass off because this was the rural Midwest where not even kings have good water pressure \u2014 and also because my BF was selfish and hogged all the water. After I became a woman it became more fun, empowering, and sexy \u2014 not awkward really, because if I&amp;#039;m comfortable enough to stand naked with someone in a shower it usually means we&amp;#039;re beyond the stage where things can still be classified as awkward. Woman B: Yes! Woman C: Yes, it&amp;#039;s definitely difficult to position yourself in a way that works. It&amp;#039;s hard to get proper footing, etc. (I only think it was physically awkward, not mentally awkward.) Man A: No. It was one of my favorite showers ever. Man B: Nope! Weird and friction-y, like trying to squeeze into one of those bodysuits for scuba divers after rolling around in a bunch of orange juice and sand, but not definitely awkward. You can talk through the fact that this isn&amp;#039;t going to feel as good as regular sex. You&amp;#039;re doing this for the experience. She&amp;#039;ll understand.  Was it more sexy than doing it in a bed? Woman A: With my current partner, yes, because anything outside of our marital-ish bed at this point is hot. Woman B: No! Woman C: Definitely not. Although, in theory, it is. Man A: Not really. I think within an hour after we had sex on the bed. I&amp;#039;d say they were both enjoyable in their own way \u2014 though bed-sex is a lot simpler, and shower water is not really a lubricant, which is unfortunate. Man B: Maybe visually \u2014 a sexy, glistening person, who is also super clean, is now standing right before me, like one of those scenes in a gladiator movie where they have to bathe in a pond \u2014 but not the actual sex itself. The sex itself is like rubbing a wet hot dog against a linoleum floor. It&amp;#039;s inherently less sexy and/or the worst thing on Earth. That said, this is the only sex that smells like lady shampoo during and after-the-fact, so it&amp;#039;s not all bad. It&amp;#039;s like fuckin&amp;#039; in a cranberry bog in there.  What shower sex hazards did you potentially encounter (e.g. slipping, etc.). Woman A: Slipping for sure, hot water running out and then freezing to death, water in the eyes, water in the mouth, choking on water, learning that your partner has a weird predilection for lukewarm showers that you cannot abide, etc. Woman B: The angles are awkward. Water is not a lubricant. Also my bathroom is really bright, and so that&amp;#039;s kind of weird. On top of which you can&amp;#039;t really shave or shampoo or anything so, as a shower, it is useless. Woman C: Ugh, like, everything. Slipping, trouble positioning, not getting enough hot water so I was freezing. I feel like if sex is too difficult to do, it stops being fun. That&amp;#039;s exactly how I feel about shower sex: No fun. Man A: No real hazards. But water temperature was an issue. We didn&amp;#039;t have access to any fancy overhead magic shower head; the head was angled from the side (like normal), so one person would often be getting the majority of the water, while the other one was getting a little bit cold because they were [shower-]wet, but not beneath the warm water. I remember being colder a lot more than I wanted to be. Also, my hair sucks and needs product to look attractive after getting wet. So that&amp;#039;s a downside too. Man B: I mean, water park rules apply. Don&amp;#039;t do anything you wouldn&amp;#039;t do in the wave pool, except for the sex part. Don&amp;#039;t stand on one leg or do a handstand or anything. But that should be given. Also, again, it&amp;#039;s not going to feel as good. It&amp;#039;s just not. There&amp;#039;s just not as much lubrication when there&amp;#039;s water involved, then it becomes a little painful on both sides. But here&amp;#039;s the thing about free will: Both of you can exit the shower at any time and have fun, regular-ass, sparkling clean sex anywhere else.   Who liked it more: You or your partner? Woman A: That first time, obviously my heinous boyfriend. Woman B: My partner, for sure. Woman C: We probably liked it equally (with both partners I tried it with). It didn&amp;#039;t really work out. We laughed it off and moved to the bed. Man A: We never really pow-wowed over it. But I think we both had fun. Though neither of us really suggested it another time. Man B: I&amp;#039;d call it a draw.  Would you do it again Woman A: Sure! Woman B: Despite everything ... probably, yes. Woman C: Sure, if my boyfriend ever wanted to. But he&amp;#039;s about the most vanilla guy you&amp;#039;ve ever met in your life, so every time we shower together, nothing really happens, except for him hogging all the water (JK, guys, sometimes we kiss). Man A: I&amp;#039;d probably try for pool/hot tub/bathtub sex before I&amp;#039;d have it again. I haven&amp;#039;t done those (yet \u2014 hopefully). And I&amp;#039;d probably want to hold off until I had one of those fancy overhead magic shower heads. Though, that said, showering with someone \u2014 without necessarily having actual sex, but still hooking up \u2014 is great. Man B: Of course. I&amp;#039;m not going to let a little water ruin my life. I&amp;#039;m not a cat in a bathtub. Follow Anna on Twitter.   Photo Credit: Getty "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
