Yes.
You don’t have to worry that the bacteria or chemicals in the water will cause infections; the natural self-cleaning system will prevent that. But you do need to keep few things in mind.
Unfortunately, getting passionate in a whirlpool may lead you to soak for longer than 20 minutes, which ups your risk of dehydration and even heat stroke (hot tub temps can reach 71 degrees).
Having underwater sex for example in a hot tub may also increase your chances of getting pregnant or an STD.
Contrary to popular belief, neither the heat nor chlorine will kill sperm or infection-causing viruses. Wearing a condom isn’t a guarantee either, as water makes it more likely to slip off or break.
Finally, keep in mind that sex in a hot tub may sound a whole lot sexier than it feels. The water can dry out and irritate the vagina, so you may want to use a lubricant. Choose one that’s silicone-based because water-based lubricants will just rinse away.
Is it safe to have sex in a hot tub?
