Hot and sunny days predispose to passions that can hardly be suppressed. But why is it better to save the exploits of love for dry land? A little fact and a big mood killer: seawater is full of bacteria. Even the saltiness of the water alone would be enough to cause pain and burning on penetration in the genitourinary tracts of both sexes, but the bacteria are capable of much more than that. With vaginal sex in the water, you risk the development of infections that will take days to weeks just to relieve symptoms, while complete healing may take much longer. Adventures in freshwater bodies of water are also not recommended. Yes, they are cleaner and not salty, but the presence of chlorine will definitely disrupt the vaginal acidity, which can lead to unpleasant yeast infections. If none of the above can stop you from this experience, keep in mind that condoms should also be used underwater to prevent both STDs and unwanted pregnancy. The problem here comes from the fact that any contact of the condom with water, salt or fresh, will wash away its coating lubricant and suppress the vagina’s natural lubrication. This, as strange as it sounds, will cause the condom to dry out, even under water, due to its chemical structure. And this is a sure guarantee that it will tear, as well as that the frictions will be quite painful. This problem can be solved by using a lubricant, but not just any lubricant, but silicone-based. These synthetic substances retain their properties much longer than water-based lubricants, even under water. NEWS_MORE_BOX Research published in 2007 in the journal Environmental Science & Technology revealed that the microbes that cause infections in seawater can be found just as easily on sand. Over 91% of the beaches examined by the research team had significant levels of enterococci, bacteria that can cause urinary tract infections, monocarditis and even meningitis. At 62% of the beaches, E. coli was found, which can cause ear infections in the water, and skin rashes on the sand. So, unconventional sex is of course not forbidden, but it carries its own risks…
