A lot of couples like experimenting with their sex lives and while most of them are limited to the bedroom there are many beyond that. When most think of doing a little more than they can, it can get them into trouble. A recent study says that couples thinking of having shower sex should actually think twice before doing it.

According to a report in the New York Daily News, doctors say having sex in the water or shower sex as it is more commonly called is quite harmful. Among many issues, body parts don’t really help you while experimenting and the chances of injury are quite high. Dr. Neha Bhardwaj, obstetrician and gynaecologist says that having sex in water would actually cause micro-abrasions or little tears inside the vagina. It could have further problems like yeast infections or vaginosis because of the bacteria in the water.

Bhardwaj further adds that the chances of getting pregnant are also very high when couples have sex in water, unlike popular belief. While it may seem like a steamy alternative to your bedroom, shower sex is quite something you would want to stay away from to avoid problems in the future.
