Masturbating in the bath
“Joan thought men were second best to masturbating in a bath …” (88 Lines About 44 Women)
After spending some quality tub time in the most beautiful and ergonomically designed indoor and outdoor bathtubs in Palm Springs, I had to consider Joan’s opinion. Despite being a lifelong lover of wet and wild solo play in a tub, it could never be better than fucking a man. Never. Ever. For me, even bad sex provides physical contact and some level of intimacy with another person. I’ve had better orgasms from masturbating in and out of bathtubs, but sex is more than the final … outcum. And thankfully my bad sex experiences in my early drunken adult years are long in the rear-view mirror now, replaced by a very fortunate spell of my 20-year ex and Maestro, both of whom are dedicated pussy lickers.
But did my first-class bathtub experience change my mind? Keep in mind I didn’t have any toys on this trip, I just used my trusty right hand with the left providing late-inning support. Well, the outdoor tubs gave bad sex a, uh, stiff challenge. On our Mexico trip last year, Maestro and I had an outdoor jacuzzi, but it was under cover. So while I loved the bubbles and Maestro’s naked body, the experience was more about a private naked jacuzzi dip as a prelude to fantastic fucking. I discovered this year that looking up at the stars and palm trees, or orange trees dotted with lights while naked was the experience, not the foreplay. I could be naked, outside, on a private patio (one was a jacuzzi, the other a claw foot tub), masturbating while feeling the warm breeze on my skin and smelling the fragrant flowers. The environment was amazing. But while I worked myself up to a couple of hard splashy orgasms, the beautiful scenery actually made me wish I could share it with someone else.
The indoor tubs (one claw foot, the other a deep round tub) made me realize design and ergonomics matter. The claw foot tub was so long my feet didn’t touch the other side when I propped myself up on the bath pillow. I think Maestro could have stretched out in it. And it had a great bath caddy with slots for a wine glass, your phone, soap, a small bowl of food and an adjustable book prop. I could even hang a small towel off the side to easily dry my hands. I never worried at all about accidentally dropping something in the tub. This worked great for playing some porn on my phone in the tub. The round tub didn’t have a caddy, but it had generous room around it for candles (provided by the hotel) and all the other accessories you’d need. Plus I loved the deep round design. I could move around more easily and gave me better foot holds for more creative play postures.
My conclusion? Masturbating in a bath, even those bathtubs, isn’t better than fucking. But I would return to La Serena Villas or the Andalusian Court to experience those bathtubs again.
