Prepare yourselves, kids. We’re about to take all the fun and romanticism out of beach sex—but only because we care. Seriously, as hot as it sounds, there are a few things you need to know before you take the plunge into naughtiness on the beach. But if you read this article and still want to go for it, rock on. You’re braver than we are!Â
1. Sand
It’s not supportive, it gets everywhere, it scrapes. All in all, just not fun.
2. Little Critters
From jellyfish that can sting you to tiny microbes that can get into delicate areas, there are many things to avoid.
3. Salt Water
It dries out the skin on the rest of your body, so imagine what it will do to the sensitive skin of your genitals. Plus, it will remove your natural lubrication. No one wants that.
4. Having to Wait for Nightfall
Unless you’re one of those couples who likes getting caught, this is an act best reserved for nighttime. You know, when it’s way easier to step on broken glass and those sharp little seashells.Â
5. Condom Issues
If you’re looking to get knocked up, go for it. If, however, you’d like to have safe sex, avoid water. That sucker can slip right off. (Side note: Especially avoid pool sex if you want to use a condom. The chemicals in pools and hot tubs can deteriorate the condom. Not. Fun.).Â
