The Soapy Straddle

23 April 2025

The Soapy Straddle sex position is the ultimate mix of relaxation and intimacy, turning an everyday bath into a steamy, full-body experience. This position brings together the sensuality of warm water, the slipperiness of soap, and the deep connection of face-to-face intimacy—if you love slow, deep thrusts and plenty of skin-to-skin and eye contact, this one’s a must-try!

To get started, fill the bath with warm water and add your favourite bath soak or essential oils to set the mood. The penetrating partner sits in the tub with their legs extended while the receiving partner straddles them while facing them, guiding the rhythm. Soapy Straddle brings all the intimacy of cowgirl with the added bonus of warm water and full-body contact, but while the water sets the scene for a sensual experience, it can also wash away natural lubrication, making things feel less smooth than expected. 

That’s where a good silicone-based lubricant comes in, keeping things slick and pleasurable without immediately rinsing away since silicone-based formulas are water-resistant! Adding a bath-friendly massage oil or an ultra-hydrating body wash can also help maintain glide while enhancing the overall sensory experience.

Since tubs can be slippery, keeping a firm grip is key. Holding onto the edge of the bath or using non-slip mats can make things more secure while allowing both partners to stay focused on pleasure. The close positioning makes it easy to incorporate sensual touches, deep kisses, and whispered words of encouragement.

Looking to level up the experience? A waterproof sex toy like the Sexyland Duet Vibrating Cock & Ball Ring can add even more stimulation while the warm water heightens sensitivity!

The Soapy Straddle is all about slowing down and enjoying every sensation. Whether it’s a morning wake-up session or a way to wind down after a long day, this position transforms an ordinary bath into something that makes a real splash… 😉
