Sex on a ''waterbed''

Have you ever had sex on a waterbed ?

Never tried it myself but was suposed to be good when those beds were popular (70 or 80's).

I know it’s hard as a woman to go on top.

Because your knees have no steady ground beneath them to ride a man.

So you need to be creative.

@Wendys,

Thank you for your speedy reply.

Have you actualy tried it ?

Sex on a waterbed is not the easiest thing in the world as there is no pressure point support, so when your hands, elbows or knees need to push you up off of the surface instead you sink in. I have had sex on a waterbed, and although all sex is good, this was not great. Missionary position is about the only position that works with any level of comfort, and even then it is good and not great!

Yes, I have experience with a waterbed.

And trust me. Tried it enough times.

What does work, and I think is great.

Put a sling somewhere. That’s plenty of fun. Restricted for the hanging one (the slings with the leg holders). And all the freedom for the other to push and pull how you like it.

Waterbed sex is easy......

1- get out of the waterbed

2- have fun....at other normal bed.

LOL

When I was younger, in my 20's, I was in a relationship with a gal who had a waterbed. The most enjoyable way I found was to develop a rhythm with your partner. If you get out of tune it can be awkward.

As far as the woman being on top, to me it was great. It was her bed and she knew what she was doing.

Back in 1990 my girlfriend and I spent a weekend house sitting. We were excited to try the waterbed at the house but it proved to be a lousy surface for fucking.

Also while trying to sleep, we either rolled together, mushed into one valley, or had to sleep apart enough to be in two valleys. No good.

My ex took me over to a friend of his to help him feed all of their animals. This was an older couple. These people had a zoo. Well, just a bunch of animals, four tiny birds, two cockatiels, one cockatoo and one amazon parrot, two cats, two dogs and a bunch of aquariums. They were off on vacation to Hawaii. We knew they were not coming back for at least another week. He said he wanted to show me something and to follow him. We went into the owner's room and I was looking around and I said what? About that time he pushed me onto my back on the bed. It was a water bed. He pulled the sheets and covers to the side and we did it on the bare mattress. It was hard to get a rhythm going. Sort of like doing it in the water. The next time we went over he wanted to show me their daughters room. She had baffles in her waterbed. She was in college and was on vacation with her parents but she didn't live there. She had a place of her own. I asked because I thought it was a little weird to have a bunch of pictures of yourself in your room. They used her room and two other rooms as spare bedrooms and then they had one room for the birds. We moved the covers over again and did it on the bare mattress. It was still hard to get a rhythm. I even tried putting pillows under my tummy while lying face down and still it sucked. The bare mattresses made any mess easy to wipe up. My ex asked me which one I liked better. I said neither, why? He took me downstairs and there was a room full of waterbeds in all sizes, in boxes, bed frames, heaters, you name it. The guy had owned a furniture store and when he closed up he brought it all home. He made a deal with my ex that if he fed all the animals while they were gone he could choose any bed he liked. I said you are not bringing one home. Nope, never, ever. Until then I had only heard of them but I didn't know anybody who owned one. I had heard about waterbeds breaking also.

Those who share a waterbed experience on this site don't seem to be enthusiastic about it.

Personnaly, I remember visiting a couple of friends of mine in California in 1974 who had just bought a waterbed and were quite satisfied with it. They told me it was fantastic for sex. I was not intimate enough with them to engage in a threesome on the ''bed''. I just got a chance to lie on it for a few minutes and I kind of liked it.

Had one for the first 4 years I was married. Worked well for us at the time. It's been 35+ years, but I think once we got in sync with the waves, it was just fine for sex. OTOH, I wouldn't get one any more - I like to see my woman's butt up high! 😃

Sex on a waterbed is NOT what it's cracked up to be.

There is no support, the bouncing is irregular and not in time with thrusting 99% of the time and it is difficult to thrust hard and fast on a waterbed.

Tempurpedic memory foam beds are also lousy for sex.

I had a waterbed in the 70’s. They were inexpensive for one thing, and hip for another. Sex on it was not very good for the same reasons others in this thread have stated. What was superior however was taking enemas. The warmth and the even support while lying supine made for a great enema experience.

The heated water also was nice in the winter.

I agree with UncleO the warmth in the winter was great, but you could also turn the heater off or down for the summer which was also very good.

The sex though was great. Once we found our "position" it was the best ever and since, I miss thoes days.

Most of the sex I've had in my life has been on a waterbed! A king size waterbed came with our house when we bought it in 1990.

The heated water also was nice in the winter.

It was nice to enter a nice warm bed in the winter.

I can't remember what the sex was like on a waterbed. Some how sub and I managed to get things done. As we were dating and newly married there was sex. Until I poked a hole in the mattress then out it went for a mattress and normal bed.

Although I do not get sea sick in a boat even during rough water, I think I might just get sea sick while having sex on a water bed. I have heard they are great for sex but wonder about getting enough traction!!! Remember Paul Newman as the Louisiana governor who wore boots to bed while doing his girl friend!! That was a great movie and I just loved where he shot the lawn mower with a shotgun when it would not start!! lol Denise

I had a girlfriend in the early 80's and she had waterbed that had hard edges and baffles in the water mattress- kind of a hybrid between a regular and waterbed mattress. Well it was OK. The sex was more memorable not for the bed but the sex. The bed really didn't add anything to the quality of the sex. I do remember sleeping pretty well after the sex but that generally is the case anyway.

So would I now get a waterbed? Nope. It was an interesting idea and fad but it really didn't add anything to the sex and it really wasn't the best mattress to sleep on.

Currently I have been sleeping on a Tempurpedic mattress and it is works well for sex and sleep.

Waterbeds were one of those novel ideas of the 70's that (mostly) did us all a favor and stayed in the 70's .....

They have mad weight issues (full, a king-size one can weigh almost a ton), are easily destroyed (and quite destructive when it happens - water everywhere), and aren't even seriously good at being, like actual beds. They can be heated easily, but let's be real here, electric blankets exist...

Thankfully, I have not tried having sex in one, and having only a few (memorably bad) experiences sleeping in them, I don't think I ever will.

Tempurpedic memory foam beds are also lousy for sex.

...and just about everything else. Call me crazy, but I still like a really nicely made coil-spring mattress more than any of the other modern ideas out there. I haven't tried purple/casper and their silly structural plastic construction idea, but I'm not super excited to.

That being said, the highly overpriced air mattress from sleep number is, surprisingly, not a horrible thing. It's not the BEST thing I've ever slept on, but it's adjustable, which is nice, and almost as good as a really good coil spring (and thus, far better than a cheap coil spring).

A lot of people talking here without any experience.

My wife and I have had waterbeds since 1983, 36 years! It wasn't until the 80's that waterbeds moved away from the poorly designed mattresses which were like trampolines in the early 60's and 70's. Earlier mattresses meant that if you got in after your partner was in the bed, you could easily bounce your partner as water moved in a wave through the mattress.

They have improved more and more since the 80's, and today we have a double waterbed which is basically two mattresses side by side, my wife can set the firmness and temperature of her side, and I can do likewise on my side. Both mattresses are waveless so we don't bounce each other around. Waterbeds are cosy on winter nights and because you can turn off heating, they are also great in the height of summer. They just take a day or so to heat up/cool down.

And going back to the original discussion. We've never had a problem with sex, in any position, even back in our earliest bed.

Most people who have tried our beds, really like them, after the usual myths of waterbeds are blown away by there comfort. Great for bad backs too, as the beds mould themselves to your body for top to toe support.

My wife and I had a king-size water bed. Traditional mattress, not "waveless". Believe it or not, after you've had one for a few days, you learn to move different. You don't make waves. You don't think about it, it just happens.

Sex on the water bed was great. I don't think it was better than sex on a regular mattress, but it was very, very good.

The only problem we ever had with leaks was one day when we changed the sheets, and for a while there were no sheets on the bed, and we had a cat that liked to chase the bubbles - with his claws out. The bed didn't leak until we got into bed and went to sleep - and woke up thinking one of us had wet the bed! Turns out that there were a couple pin-sized punctures from the cat's claws. We laughed about it, slept on the futon in the living room, and I patched the punctures the next morning.

That is sort of what happened to our water bed. Except I was the one to puncture the mattress while changing the sheets. Sub woke up soggy. lol

Yes I have. The key is finding a good rhythm and maintaining that. I found that every thrust is echoed by the water moving, so finding the right pace really does add to the experience!

Just wear a life jacket and you'll survive.

You all need to dig your heads out of the 70s! I've been sleeping very comfortably on a California king for the past 30 plus years and it is 2nd to none. I'm on my 3rd matress, and is compatible to an orthopedic quality. It has material in it that floats to the top for maximum support. Jump in it and you come to a complete stop immediately. I suffered back issues years ago and it provides constant pressure evenly on my body, and thus no more back issues. And for the sex part, get in any position you desire and knock yourself out, no problem. My only fear is possibly not being able to find a replacement matress when the time comes, but I'll deal with that then. In the mean time, my water bed rocks. I built a custom base with headboard and drawers below, complete with mirror which has served me well. Back when they were popular, I went to the water bed outlet and took pics of every bed I liked, then sat down and drew up the plans that incorporated all the features I desired, it has paid dividends ever since. After all, you spent 1/3 of your life in bed, so why not enjoy it? I do every night I'm in it.
