Water Masturbation: 5 Tips to Get Aqua-licious Sensations

Unlike men who are fine getting off using the good ‘ol stroke, women have different ways to get off. They may finger their genitals, hump a pillow, use sex toys, or squeeze their thighs (syntribation). But one technique seems to be out of the discussion, though many women have been doing it for years— water masturbation.

For this guide, we’re about to dip our toes into the world of water masturbation and explore how water can be the ultimate self-pleasure companion. From benefits to tips, we’re confident that you’ll learn a thing or two in this brief guide.

What is Water Masturbation?

Water masturbation is a form of self-pleasure wherein water stimulates the genitals, specifically the clitoris, vaginal opening, glans penis, and frenulum. A person may use whatever water fixture is available in their bathroom, turn it on, then point the water current into their genitals.

Though women are usually the connoisseurs of this self-pleasure technique, some male folks enjoy this practice.

What Water Fixtures Can You Use?

If you’re interested in masturbating with water, you must first consider what water fixture you have at home. It’ll determine how easy it would be for you to do it and what necessary adjustments you’ll need to make. Below are some common fixtures used in water masturbation and their pros and cons.

1Handheld Showerhead

Also known as a removable showerhead, it’s a type of water fixture that can be detached from its holder. It’s often more favored than a fixed showerhead due to its versatility and flexibility, as people with limited mobility and parents consider handheld showerheads easier than the other type.

It’s also the best water fixture to use if you’re masturbating. How so? Since it’s removable, you don’t need to adjust your body to ensure water hits the right spots. You can hold it and adjust the positioning of the device. You can also easily change the water pressure.

2Bidet

Another handheld fixture you can use for water masturbation is a bidet. It’s a small device with a water spray nozzle, control panel, and lever to adjust the water pressure. It’s used to clean the genitals; when the person is sitting down, they’ll point the bidet into their genitals and spray water into it to fully cleanse the area.

Though it’s adjustable and smaller than a handheld showerhead, some peeps may find the pressure too strong for their clitoris. We recommend testing the water flow on your leg or hand to see if you’re up for the challenge.

3Tub Faucet

A tub faucet is a wall-mounted fixture that controls water flow into a bathtub or hot tub. It’s usually fixed in a certain spot and comes in various designs and styles. Some bathtubs come with both fixed faucets and handheld showerheads for more flexibility.

What’s great about this fixture is that you don’t have to use your hands, giving you that “lost control” feeling that can be more arousing. However, you need to adjust your body so the water will easily hit your clit.

4Water Hose

A water hose is a tool to transport water from one location to another. It’s a flexible tube usually made with rubber, vinyl, or reinforced fabric. It’s often used for gardening, car washing, and construction.

Use this if you don’t have any of the removable water fixtures and the only faucet you have in the bathroom isn’t accessible. You may need extra time for setup, and it also may be weird seeing you with a hose in the bathroom, but hey, it’s worth it!

Benefits

You may be wondering, why water? What makes water masturbation a hit? Well, there are some benefits that one could get from this aqua-licious play, and we’ve listed some of them below.

1Nobody’s going to know.

One of the best things about water masturbation is you can please yourself into oblivion… and nobody wouldn’t be barging in. Doing it in the comfort of your bathroom ensures that your personal moments remain just that— personal. The sound of the shower also covers up your moans.

2Cleanup is a lot easier.

Another great thing when masturbating in water is the cleanup process is simpler and quicker. Let’s say you had a steamy session in the bedroom with a sex toy. After the deed, you’ll need to shower, clean the toy, return all the items to their respective spaces, change the bedsheets in case they are stained, and so on. With water masturbation, you need to lie in there, bask in the orgasmic sensations, then get into a quick shower after the deed.

3Being in water can help you relax.

Ever felt relaxed while showering or even being next to a body of water? Love staying on beaches and lakes because it gives you peace?

There’s a scientific reason for that. Water triggers the parasympathetic nervous system, which plays the role of your body’s ‘rest and digest’ response. When triggered, your heart rate and blood pressure decrease, resulting in a more relaxed body and mind.

That’s why if you want a masturbation technique where you can fully relax and immerse yourself in the sensations, you’ve got to try this one out.

4It adds variety to your self-pleasure routine.

Though using sex toys, fingering yourself, and syntribating are great ways to get off, there’s something about water masturbation that brings pleasure like no other. Water offers a unique texture, temperature, and movement that other methods can’t replicate. The sensation of water flowing over your skin, the gentle pressure of water currents against your genitals, and contrasting temperatures will send your body into an orgasmic frenzy.

Play Tips

Are you taking the plunge and trying out water masturbation? Good for you! Remember that first experiences aren’t perfect, but you’ll surely have fun with them. Below are some tips to take note of.

1Get creative with the positions and angles.

Whether your water fixture is fixed or handheld, we highly suggest experimenting with different positions and angles. For instance, you can use the handheld showerhead while standing up, lying down, squatting, standing up with your foot on the toilet seat, etc. As for fixed water tools like tub faucets, curving and arching your body, changing the orientation of your limbs, or even gently shifting your weight can create a diverse range of sensations.

2Try doing it when nobody or only a few people are at home.

If you’re living with a handful of people, it’s important to be considerate with using the bathroom. You can’t just stay in there for an hour as people would want to take the loo at some point. We recommend trying water masturbation if most peeps are out so you can get to the bathroom yourself. Not only will you not be inconveniencing someone, but the absence of distractions or worries about being interrupted allows you to immerse yourself in the deed fully.

3Start with low pressure, then gradually increase it.

It can be tempting to go all in for the first time. However, doing this would prevent your body from warming up, which can result in a less satisfying experience. Also, note that the water pressure and cold temperature can cause the clitoris to be slightly numb for a few minutes. You may have difficulty reaching the big O if there’s less sensitivity down there.

That said, always start the session with lower water pressure, letting your body acclimate to the sensations and helping you gauge your comfort level. It’s like easing into a massage – beginning with gentler sensations and gradually increasing intensity.

4Keep it as quick as possible to prevent wasting too much water.

While water masturbation can be a fun and orgasmic experience, it’s important to note that you’re wasting water while doing this. That’s why you must keep your sessions as efficient as possible to help prevent excessive water waste. Set a reasonable duration, ensuring a balance between self-care and responsible resource use.

We also recommend switching up your self-pleasure techniques regularly. Don’t just stick with masturbating with water; go with fingering, using a sex toy, pillow humping, anal fingering, and other sexual acts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have you got some questions about this self-pleasure technique? We got you covered. Below are some of the common inquiries about water masturbation, all answered.

1Is water masturbation safe?

Yes, it’s safe as long you’re not using contaminated water or incredibly high water pressure. Always prioritize your comfort, and stop the activity if you experience discomfort.

2Will my clitoris get damaged or permanently desensitized with water masturbation?

One of the common misconceptions when masturbating with water is that you’ll permanently damage your clitoris. This isn’t the case, as you’ll need extremely high water pressure for that to happen. However, the water pressure and varying temperatures of the water can result in temporary desensitization of your clitoris; it’s also usually the case when someone uses a high-powered vibrator.

3What sex toys can I use while masturbating in water?

You can try any sex toy as long as it’s waterproof. If you plan to submerge the device, ensure it has a rating of IPX7 or higher.

4Can I use body soap or feminine wash while masturbating?

Soaps are for the cleanup only and shouldn’t be used during the masturbation sesh. It’s not lube, and you can’t even use lube during this period since water washes it off instantly. Not only that, but too much soap usage can disrupt the natural pH balance and lead to irritation.

5Are there any precautions I should be aware of?

If you’re using a showerhead or faucet with heating capabilities, just be careful with turning the wrong knob, or you may accidentally pour extremely hot water into your genitals. Be careful when trying new positions or adjusting your body in the bathroom. Lastly, and we cannot emphasize this enough, start with gentle water pressure and gradually increase it to prevent discomfort.

Takeaway

Part of leading a healthy sex life is trying out new sexual activities, solo or with a partner. By diving into the world of aquatic play, you’ll be able to connect with your body and foster a deeper sense of awareness of your sensual self.
