Do you get a sexual charge from being near or in water?
Aquaphilia or water fetish is taking a love of water to another level. There are many people who love swimming or just playing in water, but many of those people would tell you they also have a water fetish.
What Is Aquaphilia?
A water fetish will have a sexual component that connects arousal to being near water, immersed or submerged in water. A water kink may not be arousing but alluring in that it makes a person feel good.
Like all aspects of kink, there are many ways for fetishists to indulge—in private or in public, safely or with risk, passively or actively. The water kink is at its root a sensory fetish and can cross over with many other kinks such as exhibitionism, bondage, role play, or sex in public.
The water fetish is also very common and perhaps one of the easiest kinks to find someone to share with. Even someone who can’t swim or is afraid of large bodies of water may still get off on the tactile aspects of water.

10 Ways to Play with a Water Fetish
If wet ‘n’ wild is your way, try one of these aquaphilia kinks.
1. Visit a Water Park
If fun is what you’re after with your water kink, then head to the nearest water park where sprays and fountains and rides will keep you busy for hours. Some water enthusiasts make it a goal to visit water parks all around the world.
Your natural attraction to water will be satiated, but thrilling rides will also get the adrenaline pumping that is fun foreplay for couples.
2. Enjoy Shower Sex
Sex and showers are a perfect combo for water lovers—you’re warm and wet and slippery and sexy. Shower sex isn’t always easy, especially intercourse, so if fondling and washing each other’s bodies is all you can manage, save the acrobatic moves (sometimes necessary) for the bedroom.
The challenge of sex in the shower can be fun though, finding the best position (and safest) for comfort and practicality.

3. Go Skinny Dipping
Water kinksters love skinny dipping because there really isn’t anything that feels quite like it. It feels so freeing not to be encased in spandex suits or surrounded by loose-fitting trunks that float up.
What makes it feel particularly unique is the vulnerability or intimacy with nature. Some people love swimming naked in the ocean while others may feel safer in a hot tub.

4. Have Sex Underwater
When you are enjoying a skinny dip with a lover or partner, you might want to go for it and have sex right there right then. Like the shower, it can be challenging, and sometimes more so, because there isn’t always a flat surface or grab bars at the ready.
Use what natural and superficial props you can, like the sandy floor or lifejackets, to try sex underwater. Handjobs are much easier than P-I-V sex, but no less satisfying. Where you choose to have sex underwater is up to you!

5. Erotic Underwater Photography
At one time, underwater photography was limited to the pros, but now everyone can access cheap underwater disposable cameras.
Whether on vacation, or in your backyard pool, play around with sexy nude underwater photography. Plan your next photoshoot with your sexy vixen who loves to play the star.
6. Try Wet and Messy Play (WAM Fetish)
Aquaphilia has close ties to the wet and messy (WAM) fetish. Those with a water fetish don’t mind getting wet, and messy is often part of the kink.
At the beach you can try mud wrestling in the surf or throw seaweed, or bury each other in the sand before jumping through waves to clean off.
Or you may prefer being covered in something with a watery consistency, like syrup or honey or melted chocolate, before having it licked off by your lapping lover.

7. Water Bondage Play
Water fetishists may also be into BDSM, where domination and submission is incorporated into the play.
You may want to tie your lover’s wrists and ankles while they are in the bathtub or hot tub, so you can sexually tease them. Or a bound lover on the bed may be treated to an array of sensory delights, like a hot mist spray or ice cubes on genitals and nipples.

8. Have a Wet T-Shirt Contest
There’s nothing quite as exciting as seeing cold erect nipples pushing against wet white cotton. The classic wet T-shirt contest isn’t happening anymore for good reason, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a private one-on-one with your winner.
Ask a fun-loving partner to indulge you. Have her don short shorts and a tight white T before hosing her down in the backyard, or ask her to jump into the pool with nothing on but a clingy T before slowly climbing out. Sexy!

9. Experiment with Breath Play Underwater
Breath play is considered an extreme kink or hardcore BDSM. Holding your breath underwater or holding your partner’s head underwater for a D/s role play are examples of breath play. These types of “experiments” must have safety precautions in place such as safe words and signals.
Safer breath play for a water fetishist may be deep sea diving with an instructor while on vacation or a fun game of who can hold their breath longer with sexy rewards for the winner.

10. Try Naked Surfing or Paddleboarding
Water fetishes often attract exhibitionists who can enjoy both kinks at once. Naked skinny dipping with the risk of getting caught is one way to get your fix. Or you might want to try surfing or paddle boarding sans suit for a little extra attention from casual passersby. If the water isn’t dangerously cold, why not!
Another way to enjoy both your water kink and showing off is to strip down while boating, whether in a canoe or on houseboat or yacht. The water is right there if you want to jump in and cool off… and garner some attention!
