What are the potential dangers of having sex in a hot tub?

One of the most controversial issues surrounding hot tub safety is whether or not it is safe to have intercourse in a hot tub. There are a number of questions relating to this subject which are important to discuss before entering into this type of situation. Before you seal the deal in a hot tub, it is important that you are aware and understand what really goes on underwater.

Just because you are underwater does not mean the female can't get pregnant. She is just as likely to become pregnant from underwater sex as she is from any type of above-water sex. Those of you who choose to believe that you shouldn't wear a condom because the sex is occurring underwater are extremely wrong. Choosing to have sex in a hot tub without a condom could have detrimental consequences.

The next thing to consider is whether or not this type of intercourse is harmful in other ways. Despite what many individuals like to believe, hot tub sex isn't as glamorous, romantic or pleasing as most people make it out to be. This type of sex is fantasized by a number of individuals, but the truth is, when it actually happens it can be quite painful - especially for the female. The water in a hot tub, spa, pool or even the ocean reduces the amount of natural lubricant produced by the female. That said, there is a high possibility that the female will tear when the penis initially enters inside the female. Not only can this be very painful for the female, but the chemicals used to treat the water may enter the tear wounds and cause infection.

This is not the only way a female can contract an infection from having hot tub sex. During intercourse, water that enters inside the female during the thrust of intercourse can potentially cause an infection. This is due to the chemicals used in hot tub water, especially chlorine, and the effects these chemicals have inside the female body. Hot tub sex has been proven to cause infections in a number of women and is not recommended at any time.

If you choose to have intercourse in the hot tub despite the warnings you have been given, it is highly suggested you use some form of birth control. Although hot water may slow down the sperm from entering the female, it does not prevent it from entering and impregnating her. Whatever you decide to do, make sure you use common sense so you don't end up regretting the choices you've made.
