Think the bedroom is the only place for passion? Think again! Your home is full of sexy opportunities just waiting to be explored. From the steam of the shower to the thrill of a quickie in the kitchen, every room holds erotic potential if you’re open to trying something new. Whether you're after something steamy, sneaky, or downright cheeky, sex at home can bring your love life to unexpected heights.
In this guide, you’ll discover how to spice up different spots in your home, which positions to try, tips for staying safe (and balanced), and the best Sinful products to keep things hot and hassle-free.
What Sex at Home Really Means
Sex at home isn’t just about bedsheets and missionary. It’s about making the most of every corner of your castle - from the bathroom to the balcony, the table to the tub. It means getting creative with locations, positions, and maybe even a few cheeky props. Think of it as a staycation for your sex life, where you don't have to worry about hotel bookings or nosy neighbours (well, maybe just a little).
Popular spots? The list goes on: shower sex, bathroom sex, sex in the bath, sex on the sofa, mirror sex, sex in kitchen, balcony sex, table sex, and yes, even sex in the shed.
Why It Shouldn’t Be Underestimated
What are the benefits?
- Zero planning required. You’re already there. No need to pack or plan - just follow the mood.
- Surprise factor. Changing locations adds freshness to routine and reignites attraction.
- Total control. From lighting to lube, you’ve got all your favourites within arm’s reach.
- Privacy. No strangers on the other side of the wall - just you, your partner, and the postman who hopefully doesn’t ring twice.
Potential downsides
- Slippery surfaces. That sexy shower can quickly become an ice rink for your bum.
- Noise issues. Thin walls and curious flatmates mean you’ll want to mind the volume during sofa or table escapades.
- Uncomfortable angles. Not every position works well in every room. Trial and error is your friend.
How to Have Amazing Sex at Home: Room by Room
Bathroom: Steamy Shower & Sensual Bath Fun
Shower sex is one of the most Googled fantasies - and for good reason. It’s hot, wet, and spontaneous. But it also requires a bit of strategy. The best shower sex positions involve balance and grip. Try standing doggy with your hands against the wall, or let one partner sit on a stool while the other takes control.
Sex in the shower works best with waterproof toys and a good non-slip mat. Want to get oral in on the action? Shower oral sex is a real treat if you keep water out of the way and let your hands and lips do the work.
Want to avoid turning shower sex into a slapstick routine? Take it slow, talk it through, and keep your balance. Use a water-based lubricant, even in the wet, since water alone doesn’t reduce friction. And yes, you can have sex in the shower with a condom, just make sure it’s on before you hop in - slippery hands and wet foil wrappers are a nightmare combo.
Fancy a soak? Sex in the bath is perfect for lazy weekend mornings. Go for bathtub sex positions that involve lying between each other’s legs or facing one another in a straddle. Just be mindful - underwater bath sex might sound dreamy, but water washes away natural lubrication. So bring that lube in with you!
Sofa & Table: Casual, Cosy and Completely Sexy
Sex on the sofa is for those moments when your hands are all over each other before Netflix even loads. Cushions make brilliant props—wedge one under your hips for a better angle or behind your back for comfort.
Looking to raise the stakes? Table sex gives you just the right height for something naughty and spontaneous. Ever heard of the tabletop sex position? It involves one partner sitting or lying on the table while the other stands—great for eye contact and quick thrusts. Just make sure your table’s sturdy enough (this isn’t the time to find out you’ve got IKEA legs).
Kitchen Shenanigans
Sex in the kitchen? Oh yes. There’s something thrilling about bending over the counter with the smell of coffee in the air. Just don’t confuse the lube with olive oil (been there, cleaned that). Try a standing spooning position or perch your partner on the counter while you stay grounded. Bonus points for midday quickies while something’s in the oven.
Bedroom Sex
The bedroom doesn’t have to be boring. Mix it up with mirror sex, try different sex positions at home, or even bring in props like bondage restraints, blindfolds, or a stroker.
Outside Spaces: Naughty and Nice
Let’s be cheeky. Balcony sex or sex on balcony brings in that element of risk and adrenaline. Timing is everything here - late evenings or early mornings are best for privacy. Stick to positions where both of you can stay quiet and stable.
Shed sex (yep, you read that right) is surprisingly popular. The privacy is a big draw, especially for those living in shared spaces. Whether you’re exploring bondage gear or trying out noisy toys, the shed could be your little erotic hideaway.
7 Hot Tips and Tricks for Better Sex at Home
Want to make every room your sex room? Here are 7 practical (and sexy) tips to get you going:
- Lube is your second lover. Especially in wet conditions like showers and baths. Water-based lube is best and safe to use with all toys and condoms.
- Invest in safety. Grab a non-slip shower mat and sturdy shower handles if you’re a fan of vertical fun.
- Mirror magic. Try mirror sex by moving a full-length mirror into your play space. Watching yourselves can double the arousal.
- Noise matters. Shared walls? Opt for slower thrusting, more kissing, and toys that are whisper-quiet.
- Props are power. From a cushion on the kitchen table to sex furniture for the bed - comfort is king (or queen).
- Plan spontaneous moments. Leave a toy in the bathroom or a bottle of lube near the sofa for impromptu adventures.
- Create a clean-up station. Wet wipes, towels, and a sex toy cleaner should be within arm’s reach for quick resets.
Top Sex Positions to Try at Home (That Aren’t Just for the Bed)
Trying out new positions is one of the easiest ways to transform familiar spaces into thrilling sex zones. Each room (and each piece of furniture) offers its own unique opportunities, so it’s all about using your environment to your advantage. Here are some of the best sex positions to explore throughout your home - no bed required.
1. The Counter Curl (Kitchen)
Pop yourself up on the kitchen counter with your legs wrapped around your partner’s waist. It’s the perfect position for eye contact, deep thrusts and feeling like you’re in a very naughty cooking show. Bonus tip: place a folded towel under your bum for extra comfort.
2. The Sit & Straddle (Sofa or Chair)
Your partner sits down and you straddle them, either facing forward for intimacy or turned around for a raunchier ride. This position is ideal for sofas, armchairs or even sturdy office chairs - especially if they swivel.
3. The Window Lean (Balcony or Against a Mirror)
Feeling cheeky? Place your hands on the windowsill or mirror, lean slightly forward, and let your partner enter from behind. It’s discreet enough to feel safe, but risqué enough to give you that pulse-quickening thrill.
4. The Table Tease (Dining Table or Desk)
Lie back on a table or desk and bring your knees up or let your legs dangle over the edge. Your partner stands and takes control. The height gives great leverage, and the hard surface makes for extra intensity.
5. The Shower Stand-Up Remix (Bathroom Wall)
For a twist on classic shower sex, try the Stand-Up Remix: one partner stands with one leg slightly raised (on a ledge or step) while the other enters from the front or side. It gives just enough access without sacrificing balance.
6. The Floor Finale (Living Room or Bedroom Rug)
Lay down a soft blanket or rug and get down on the floor. Doggy-style or missionary with legs over shoulders both work beautifully here. The added closeness to the floor gives a grounded, primal feel - perfect for slow, sensual sessions or fast, frantic ones.
7. The Shed Stacker (Storage Adventure)
Stack a couple of crates or storage boxes to hip height, bend over slightly, and support yourself with your hands. The makeshift setup works surprisingly well and adds a sense of impromptu fun. Just make sure it’s sturdy - no one wants to tumble mid-thrust.
Best Erotic Accessories & Sex Toys to Explore at Home
To make the most of your home adventures - whether you’re steaming up the shower or getting cosy on the sofa - you’ll want the right accessories within reach. The basics are simple: reliable lube, waterproof toys, furniture-friendly gear, and a good cleaner to finish off. Here’s what we recommend.
Lube for Every Room
Let’s start with the MVP of home sex: lubrication. Whether you're playing in water or trying something adventurous on a slippery surface, the right lube makes all the difference.
If you’re planning shower sex or bath fun, opt for a water-based lube like Sinful Aqua Water-Based Lube. It’s thicker than standard water-based formulas and safe to use with all toys, including silicone ones.
Need something longer-lasting for the sofa or table? Try Pjur Original Silicone-Based Lube 100 ml - just avoid it in the bath or shower, as it can make surfaces extra slippery.
Waterproof Toys for Wet Play
Want to explore sex in the shower or bathtub sex positions? You’ll need toys that can keep up. Waterproof vibrators, butt plugs and suction-cup dildos are your go-to for bathroom adventures.
The Sinful Rechargeable Mini Wand Vibrator is a compact, waterproof favourite that packs plenty of power without taking up space.
If you love penetration, try the Willie City Luxe Realistic Silicone Dildo 9.1 inches - it sticks to smooth shower walls or bath edges for hands-free fun.
Furniture-Friendly Gear
Sex on the sofa or table sex can feel awkward without the right support. That’s where position aids and sex pillows come in. They help lift, tilt, and support your body so you can focus on the fun.
The Liberator Wedge Sex Pillow gives you the perfect angle for deeper penetration and better access, whether you’re lying down, sitting, or kneeling.
And for those looking to really experiment, a sex swing or a set of bed restraints like the obaie Faux Leather Under The Mattress Restraint Set can open up entirely new possibilities - even in smaller spaces.
Foreplay Accessories to Set the Mood
Great sex at home often starts long before the main event - and that’s where the right foreplay accessories can work wonders. From bedroom to bathroom, these seductive extras add intimacy, anticipation, and a touch of luxury.
Start with rose petals scattered on the bed or leading to the bath. They create a sensual, visual cue that something special is about to happen.
Next, light a massage candle like the Sinful Vanilla Massage Candle. It melts into warm, skin-safe oil perfect for a teasing back rub - or a slow, erotic full-body massage.
And don’t forget feather ticklers, blindfolds or even ice cubes from the freezer to introduce playful sensory elements. These little touches help you connect, build tension, and make sex feel more than just a quick session between errands.
Cleaning Essentials
No matter where the action happens, cleaning up is key. Keep a bottle of Sinful Sex Toy Cleaner on hand to spritz your toys before and after use. It’s gentle on silicone and safe for daily use.
If things get really wild (hello, sex in the shed), keep wipes and a towel nearby too. Trust us - you’ll thank yourself later.
Frequently Asked Questions About Sex At Home
Got questions? You’re not the only one. Here are some of the most common things people wonder before getting extra frisky at home:
Can you have sex in the shower with a condom?
Yes, but put it on before you get wet and use water-based lube to keep things safe and sexy.

Only if you’re not careful. Use a mat, hold onto a stable surface, and avoid overly enthusiastic moves.
What’s the best position for sex in the bath?
Try spooning or facing each other with one partner between the other’s legs. Slower is better.

How do I keep it discreet in a shared house?
