Immediately, commenters went for it, detailing their failed sexcapades. At the top of the list was shower sex.
It makes for beautiful cinematic moments, with all that water cascading down intertwined bodies. But in reality, it can be uncomfortable. Not only does water wash away natural lubricant, getting steamy in the shower can also make you feel a little disoriented.
“Shower sex bent over made me dizzy like I’d pass out,” one user shared. Nearly 5,000 people liked the comment. Anyone with low blood pressure or those who have showered without eating can attest to a similar feeling. Turns out there’s a physiological reason for that.
According to Medical News Today, that’s because the vagus nerve is overstimulated during both sex and hot showers. The overstimulation results in a drop in blood pressure, which can make you feel lightheaded or cause you to faint.
