Sex in the bathtub?
 

I heard somewhere (I can't remember) that if you have sex in the bathtub or a hot tub, the heat either kills the sperm cells so they're either ineffective in impregnating a woman or they can't travel in the water and die naturally. Either way, is sex in the tub safer than sex with a condom? Just curious.

I'm not really qualified to say this, but no. Sex is always safer with a condom.

NO. Our sex ed. teachers ALWAYS told us not to have sex in hot tubs or bathtubs. It doesn't necessarily kill the sperms, and it's ALWAYS better to be on the safe side.

There's a name for people who do this.

That name is "parents".

It does not kill enough sperm to make it a viable contraceptive.

Use a tried and true form of BC, none of the bull shit methods, talk with your doctor, or drop by planned parenthood, they know what they are doing.

plus sex and chlorene (in the hot tub anyway) defenatly do not mix.....

Okay, it'd probably do it in the bathtub and with a condom anyway. :rolleyes:

Either way, having sex in water kinda sucks cause it washes off all the lube, natural or artificial.

Yep, you'd think all that water would help the situation, but in my experiences, it just leads to bad friction and hurts for the girl.

Young nasty and clockwork, you're using the wrong lube. There are a number of lubes that are rather effective in water. Check your local, uh..."novelty" shop... and no, water and chlorine are not birth control... Wear a condom.

Be sure to be careful of 'tidal waves'; you could easily soak and flood the bathroom if your rhythm matches the harmonics of the bathtub.

Can you say Galloping Girdy?

Dewaha, this may be what you are thinking of.

I remember reading that men that spend a great deal of time in hot-hot tubs may affect sperm-count and sperm-quality. Men's testes are outside of the body for a reason; they need to be in a cooler environment to produce healthy sperm.

So extended exposure to heat has been shown to temporarilary reduce male fertility. But I've never read anything about having sex in a hot tub affecting fertility.

Nothing I know of is safer than sex with a condom.

Sex in a bathtub? I'm too tall to fit in there alone. From what I hear, I'm not missing out on much, though. Use a condom and silicone-based lube if you don't want it to wash off.

Sex in a tub doesn't work. Well, never has for me, anyway, and even if it did, somehow, I don't think I'd enjoy it that much. Too complicated.

But ya gotta love all these 'urban legends' about different ways of trying to weasel out of having to use birth control or condoms. Let's face it, even condom isn't fool-proof. So don't be a fool.

water = bad friction, and i read somethin about in hottubs there is like bacteria that can funk up your womans chacha

Yeah, I've tried it with my wife, and we're not using a condom. Guess we'll try some water friendly lube.

My mom always heard that if you did it in a pool, you couldn't get pregnant. My sister is 17 years younger than her.

Most of the time you are in the bath tub to get "clean"... Where is the point in wasting more water to get clean again???


I'm puzzled....But if the opportunity presented itself, I'd give it a shot just to see what it's all about.

Having sex in a bathtub as a means for contraception is the most stupid thing ever...

Condoms and the birth control pill are the best means to prevent pregancy.

On the hot tub thing, chlorine has a drying effect. Yeah, no good.

Right on.

For sperm to be produced, your testies have to be a certin tempature (for some reason 84 degrees comes to mind, may be wrong though).

You may notice that when it's cold outside your testiies will be up against your body (even partily inside) and when it's hot they will hang farther than normal. This is your body trying to regulate the tempature of the testies.

So, in theory, being in a warm hot tub might make it too warm to produce *as much* seman as normal.

Even so, it only takes one little guy geting through and your life will be changed forever. Why risk it?

USE BIRTH CONTROL!

One time I tried to have sex standing up in the shower. I just couldn't get it in. For one the position was bad enough; two we were in my dorm washroom (but it was late enough, not that many people) and last but not least, that particular ex was always dry.

I would yell out "Hip Hip Horray!" if I could get her wet. I hope her current bf is having a good time.

also, don't forget that water-based lube will... well... dissolve in water, and oil-based lubes will dissolve your condom. Plus the friction from being non-lubed will rip your condom and your partner's insides. so the only way to use a barrier contraceptive in water is to use silicone lubricant...

Best quote ever

It's not actually all it's cracked up to be, unless the tub is large enough to fit two people, which they almost never are. You can do it standing up, either from behind or face-to-face, but you won't be doing anything on your back or knees, unless you're like three feet tall. If you want a little variety, there's always the kitchen table and the couch. If you're in a shared living situation, a car offers all kinds of interesting variety :D. Just make sure it's not moving.

plus its very uncomfortable...

I've gotten jiggy with it in a pool and the weightlessness was pretty good. A hot tub or a bathtub might be a little tricky depending on how big the tub itself is but hell yes pardner. Go for it as long as you are prepared and appropriately protected from pregnancy, disease, etc.

This goes along with the old "chlorine kills sperm" myth but this would be the dumber half, dont do it without protection

remember, life finds away. Think Jurrasic Park. Condoms are not full proof. Be afraid. Be Very Afraid

tubs are better for massage and quiet time.. Showers can be good for sex, but if you're doing it right, then theres more chance of ripping the fixtures from the walls then people are prepared for. Now if you're just warming up, then the sex AFTER a shared shower can be great!

Mmm.. now thats something to work towards..

Or slipping and falling and busting your ass (or arm or leg or whatever), which I'm sure would be a mood killer :p

The WORST yeast infection I ever had came from having sex in a jacuzzi. Heat + moisture + chlorine killing off the "good" bacteria = pass the monistat please.

Shower sex is some of the best sex I've had, but be careful not to yank the shower curtain down. Heh.

I laughed so hard when I read this, I almost crapped my pants. Thanks ratbastid, you made my day. And, I also know how I got my kids! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Oh, and sex in warm/hot water is not a pregnancy preventor. Use a condom or get her to swallow.

Wait a minute... Pregnancy is caused by not swallowing? Well, I've been misinformed all of these years! :crazy:

my bathtub is too small but sex in spas is great

sex in a tub can be fun... can also be painful... happened both ways.

sex in a hot tub can be fun... or.... you can get BURNED like I did... that sux.

Regardless... use protection.

MY GOD NO!!!!!!

Heat is NOT a safe spermicide!!!! You MUST use a condom. Even better, date a girl on oral contraceptive!

That said, sex in the tub is way fun...at least until tomorrow, when the bruises develope.

I dont think what you have heard about using hot water as a spermicide is true ( it might kill a few sperm but this is millions and millions of sperm we are talking about). but I can tell you that sex in a bathtub is kinda difficult. I dont know about you but when I have sex I move around alot (a whole lot) and the splashing of water all over the floor and the walls and the ceiling and the leaking on the floor below you isn't all that is cracked up to be (hottubs and pools might be different). Also the lube factor is pretty shitty all of the organic lube that comes directly from the flower gets washed away as well as the artificial lube if it is water based (condoms fly or break as the muffled screams of drowning, not pleasure, fill the air). my best advice to you would be (if you really need this water-fetish out of your system) go to a lake or a river (come to think of it a river might be really nice) and bring some oil based lube (if there is none to be found go ghetto and use that tanning oil she just so happened to bring) then get to the humping!

by the way I just thought I would state that I am partal to secluded wooded areas.

read the chuck palahniuk story "guts" its a work of fiction yes, but he was going to be a doctor until he started writing and he has a ridiculous amount of trivia in all of his books/stories, and the majority of the trivia is true.
