the key is to wash each other, not just take turns showering yourselves….
although shower sex is a lot trickier and not worth it….

cRazi_man@europe.pub · 64 pts · 285d (10 replies)

The risk of falling and causing a serious head injury is the sexiest part though.

ozymandias@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 16 pts · 285d (8 replies)

how do you do anything in life if you’re always afraid of such risks?

Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe · 10 pts · 285d (7 replies)

That's what makes it so much fun!

I mean, skydiving, base jumping, rock climbing skiing, etc, etc.

cRazi_man@europe.pub · 16 pts · 285d (4 replies)

I love base jumping sex! Gotta finish quick before we're too low to deploy parachutes!

I watched some base jumpers. I gotta say, I know some folks can finish quick, but they're even beating bull riding times...

Imadethis@lemmynsfw.com · 1 pts · 284d (1 reply)

One of those is not like the others :P

And I mean skydiving. Risks are so much lower. The other three, everyone seems to have a story about an injury. In skydiving, everyone seems to know one dude at the drop zone that has a story of an injury.

For when you want to come out of the shower water repellent, also if that gets on the shower floor it's game over, someone's gonna break a spine

Imadethis@lemmynsfw.com · 3 pts · 284d

Lol, I've sometimes wondered if my lube or my hair conditioner is more slippery. They both have caused some close calls in the shower.

ozymandias@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 285d

well, i think being around the same height would help a lot….

Trainguyrom@reddthat.com · 3 pts · 284d

You're right about the first part, the trick for the second part is just to shift shower time to be foreplay

tanisnikana@lemmy.world · 85 pts · 285d (1 reply)

Whenever I’m in there showering with my wife, it’s never fun, but it is important. Getting clean while discussing the impact of student loans on our budgets, worrying about politics, searching for hope, and drying off.

We come out better for it, but it’s nothing like what the movies suggest.

UnculturedSwine@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 5 pts · 284d

Was gonna say, my hubby and I shower together intending to get freaky but we end up talking about deep shit and bonding without a single sexual thing happening.

sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz · 65 pts · 285d (7 replies)

Do ya'll not touch your partner? Wash they hair or sumthn. Jesus.

TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world · 42 pts · 285d (5 replies)

a lot of people don't.

i've dated women who didn't want me to touch/kiss them ever outside of sex. it was weird. i can imagine that some people tolerate that behaviour and just have a partner who never touches them. i will say they all had massive control/anxiety issues in other areas of their life as well. I've also had partners who hated certain sex acts that seemed perfectly fun/normal to me.

a lot of people have very strict beliefs about the context in which touch should occur even with romantic partners. or consider touch to be 'dirty'

sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz · 23 pts · 285d (3 replies)

That's valid but also kind of sad. I've dated ace before so I get that some people just aren't wired for certain things. I but feel a little bad for people who can't even have nonsexual contact free of shame, but maybe there's a perspective I'm lacking. Just feels like shame should have no place in a relationship even if physical touch isn't present either.

real_squids@sopuli.xyz · 25 pts · 285d (2 replies)

Some people just don't like being touched. Sometimes it's trauma, sometimes simple preference. It's not always about shame

dragonfucker@lemmy.nz · 9 pts · 285d

Sometimes it's autism. Touch is a lot of sensory.

Imadethis@lemmynsfw.com · 1 pts · 284d

I like being touched and touching, it's just horrible to try, or imagine trying, and then being rejected. What if I'm coming on too strong? What if they don't want to touch right now? What if they don't want to touch right now, or I'm actually smelly from a mild amount of sweat and they have to endure that because they don't want to tell me off but I haven't realized it, and now I'm subjecting them to unpleasantness that they feel obligated to endure?

sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 14 pts · 285d

Not all of that, but a whole lot of it is from being raised in... the American version of a Christian household.

These are the kind of parents who will spy on their kids, catch them masturbating, and then punish them harshly, tie it directly into their moral/spiritual validity as a person.

Puritanism is very much still alive and well.

It produces uptight, broken, neurotic people with those control and anxiety issues you mentioned.

Okay but how do you deal with your water pressure getting cut in half? Install a water heater pump?

Reason why I asked is because I've tried a dual showerhead before and it sucked ass. It was completely useless unless one of the nozzles was off.

Imadethis@lemmynsfw.com · 1 pts · 284d (2 replies)

I'm just curious if you know the answer: does the regulator attenuate the pressure downwards even if the overall pressure is below the target? Say the pressure at the spigot is 100 psi, but legally must be at 40psi, so the regulator attenuates it down to 40. If you divide it into the two shower heads, will the regulators simply attenuate it down to 40 psi, or cut it down to something like 20 psi?

MonkRome@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 284d

The regulator and water pressure both impact flow rate. Though as they said, remove the regulator and it's unlikely to be an issue.

The other comments have stupid suggestions, the trick is that the one in the water pees on the other, that way no one stays cold.

My wife was horrified to discover I wash my ass crack with a face cloth.

How else do you get rid of the bits and pieces?

Yeah, can anyone honestly claim they've never had lint from underwear in the crack? And I know after some heavy workouts I've needed to clean out sweaty flaked skin that's now become a gross film, just like you would on your neck or, as you said, the armpit.

That's a poor use of water when a good scrub with the face cloth does wonders.

In biology, detritus (/dəˈtraɪtəs/ or /ˈdɛtrɪtəs/) is organic matter made up of the decomposing remains [...] of feces.

Erm. You're in the shower. Use soap + your hands. Also there shouldn't be larger "bits" there if you wiped properly... Eww

redwattlebird@lemmings.world · 10 pts · 285d (3 replies)

Is the cloth's purpose only for your crack or is it a communal cloth? Like, was she using it as a face cloth before the discovery?

SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world · 6 pts · 285d (2 replies)

After washing yes.

It's not like I have a dedicated crack cloth hanging from a nail in the bathroom it's one of the general service cloths.

My husband and I designed and (literally) built our own shower. It was a bitch, but worth it because it made us think about things like this. It's a nicely sized space split with a bath tub and shower. We've got a big waterfall shower head fixed at the center of the ceiling in the shower area, then a separate hosed shower head where one would normally place one. Then the other far end of the shower is slightly dryer with no direct water.

Kicks ass for having shower sex. Also great for just shower and/or bath time together to vent/chat in the middle of our work day.

cool shower

qarbone@lemmy.world · 24 pts · 284d

My first time trying this it resulted in me holding her entire bodyweight up, spreadeagle in a corner of the glass shower frame while hammering away. We were both a tad concerned for the shower glass but continued anyway, and it was thankfully ok. 10/10 recommend.

Edit: lol the downvotes. Sorry, not everyone has such sad experiences in the shower with their partners.

I guess I just don't get that. One of the primary things I do in the shower is step out of the stream so I can lather up and scrub. If the soap is constantly getting washed away, you're wasting the majority of it.
