Sex in Water - Is It Safe?

DearSugar — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 08:00:28 -0700

Having sex in water sounds so sensual, doesn't it? When you're swimming in a pool or lake, you're practically naked already, so why not slip off your bathing suit and get it on? But, wait: Is it safe to have sex in water?

Not exactly. Lake, river, ocean, and pond water contains bacteria. Having sex can introduce that bacteria into your vagina, which could put you at risk for infections that you don't want up there. Pool water, on the other hand, contains chemicals that could irritate your lady business.

Aside from health risks, the logistics just aren't with you on this one. Since lubrication is key when it comes to sex that feels good, you don't want to end up all washed out (literally). The water dissipates your natural moisture, so you're left with friction-filled sex that won't last long. What's worse is that if you're using a condom, the friction could cause a tear, and you won't be protected from pregnancy or STIs if the condom breaks.

What about sex while taking a bath or shower together? To find out read more

Moving from smooching to screwing in the bath seems like a lovely plan, but the same lubrication problem you have in other bodies of water will arise in a bath too. So what about doing it in the shower? Again, the water will wash away the wetness you make naturally, and we know that sex without enough lubrication feels awful. You could move to the end of the shower where the water isn't beating down, but you'll just end up chilly and with sore muscles from trying to have sex while standing.

My advice? Sex + water = no fun. So make love without the water.

One lucky lady had the pleasure to kiss George Clooney at a fundraiser last week after paying a reported $350,000 -- money that went to charity of course! But if you got to kiss one of these stars, free of charge, whom would you want to lock lips with?

Say What? Director Mira Nair on Amelia Earhart

TresSugar — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 06:00:00 -0700

"[S]o much about Amelia is so undeniably modern. If she were to walk into a room today in her jodhpurs and her aviation jackets, [with] her ideas about marriage or men and women, she would still be considered an iconoclast."

- Director Mira Nair on the subject of her upcoming biopic Amelia starring Hilary Swank, about the pioneering aviator's life. Nair, who directed Salaam, Bombay!, Monsoon Wedding, and the recent I Love You, New York was taken with Amelia's plainspoken directness when she studied archival footage of her. Earhart was the first aviatrix (I love that word!) to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. She insisted on keeping her name when she married and called marriage a "partnership" with "dual control."

Website du Jour: I Just Made Love

TresSugar — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 07:00:00 -0700

In a convoluted world of oversharing, a new website is trying to streamline the process of revealing the details of your sex life to the world. Using Google Maps, IJustMadeLove.com lets users pinpoint the exact location where they've had sex. In addition to location, users can offer other details including positions used (although the list of possible positions is far from complete) and whether the love was made inside or outside. If you're more a voyeur than an exhibitionist, you can use the site to find out way too much about people's sexual habits. For example, the site reveals that more people than you would think have had sex in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean! Happy snooping . . . or sharing!

Oh Snap! They're Meeeeeelting For a Cause

The World Wildlife Fund set up 1,000 ice figures yesterday in Berlin, Germany to raise awareness about global warming. The artistic demonstration was meant as warning that melting ice could significantly raise ocean levels. I say: we have to save the adorable ice people!
