We do it frequently and with no adverse physical effects. We find it erotic and exciting. The pool is part of our apartment complex and available to all residents adding to the experience the risk of being “caught”. Our trysts are well after 10 PM and the pool area is dimly lit reducing the likelihood of upsetting our neighbors.
I recommend trying pool sex.

I grew up with a pool and the only thing I found risky was getting caught!

To Lynda,
Please let me know which apartment complex you live in so the rest of us can never go in that pool. I’m glad you are happy disregarding and disrespecting all of the other apt habitants so that you can get off.
As a mother of 3 who goes to a public pool, the idea of what you do makes me nauseas.

My wife and I installed a pool at our summer home last summer. Lovemaking has never been better whether it starts, progresses or ends in the pool.

As a physician, I think the issue is primarily one of public health. All the poor little children and all the adults who swim in that pool are in essence subjected to ingestion of your organic wastes. If a little child has an accident in the pool, they close the pool. If you intentionally contaminate the pool, no one ever knows. Your actions are selfish, rude, arrogant, and disgusting.

As for Dr. Yvonne, your failure to address the public health issues related to public emmisions in a pool source should instantaneously disqualify you as a consulting physician for Fox News. This is not just an issue to titillate the masses, as your reply suggests. There is even the possibility of intended pregnancy in an uninvolved party, particularly if it is a small, underchlorinated pool.

chlorine..a lovely thing….if your 3 yr old can pee in my pool, we can put other fluids in it.

Neal - as a physician, you should lighten up. It’s a fact that 100% of public pools are contaminated from people peeing, spitting, and who knows what in the water. Let alone the number of open cuts, infections, etc. that are exposed to the water. So don’t act like these are pristine mountain springs that are polluted by a little late-night frolicking. Maybe you’d feel better if you gave it a try!

Lynda - please don’t allow your 3 children in the public pool, because I guarantee at least one of them is going to pee in the water.

I have 3 kids and I am married and we have a community pool across the street. I think its perfectly fun, safe, and harms no one. Unless you are afraid of germs which are everywhere, but as Rick said, chlorine is a lovely thing.

I suppose lovers might be “weary” of rough edges, but I suspect more of them should be “wary”. Does no one these days check their spelling? Poor spelling and punctuation are the greatest credibility killers in written communcations today, and a demonstration of the loss of intellectual America. Those who dismissively say “Oh, it’s no big deal” don’t get how big a deal the diminishing intellectual strength of America has become.

Yuck.

Swimming at night was the best time,as long as there were girls to swim with. Parents never knew a thing. We had a large pool and it was the best times we ever had as kids.
Parents keep a eye on them.

i think if a couple wants to “make love” in a pool that is great! i would love to try it…but not in a public pool! i live in an apartment complex and i hope no one is so disrespectful that they have sex in our pool! it is rude and inconsiderate! i mean would they want to swim in the pool after others had sex in it? Probably not! so just pay attention where you are having your midnight sex time!

Yo. I would be angry if I saw lifeguards doing it.

I agree with W. Hamilton. The spelling and grammar in blogs and comments is atrocious. However, all these self proclaimed experts continue to write using poor English, as if there is no need for a professional to consider writing proper English. But then again, our gutless Politicians never decided that English should be our National Language, thus deserving of reasonably proper care in usage. Perhaps all these posts will be better if written in Spanish, “Spanglish”, or even Arabic.

Has any woman tried giving birth in a pool?

As a former pool owner, those of you who only use pools have no idea the amount of filth that enters a pool. Leaves, branches, bird droppings, insects, frogs, birds. Yes, chlorine does kill birds and frogs; it’s really fun to fish bleached carcasses out of the pool before you take a dip. Actually, chlorine kills pretty much everything. If the water is clear and has little or no chlorine smell (a sign that the chlorine has been used up), the pool is probably clean enough no matter what has been put into it.

The public pools are closed after a known emission of human waste both to remove solids (the filter will do this but it takes a while) and because of the “yuck” factor. A chemically balanced pool recovers quickly.

Yep, we had sex in our pool. It was our backyard, so what if anyone saw us? I’m pretty sure the neighbors knew. The best sex was in the middle of the night when a heat wave had heated the pool to 98 degrees. Like a 15,000 gallon hot tub. Sweet.

W Hamilton misspelled communication. Kind of ironic huh? LOL!!

p.s. sex in a pool is GREAT! It’s like Nike… JUST DO IT!

These people are everywhere! You have got to be a Democrat/socialist/environmentalist and or students… There has been 18 posts and 2 were from you two spelling and grammar critics. I’ll bet you never read a word that Dr. Yvonne Fulbright had to say out of interest in her work, you read the words but just to look for the improper use of the English language… Then you could post and show us just how SMART you are, Eh?!

Relax.. I just think of it as letting my “kids” swim in the public pool…before they are conceived. I guarantee you, my “kids” are cleaner than 90% of the little bacteria farms some people let in the public pool.

I would love to try sex in “MY” pool. ANd what I’ve learned recently is that a chemically balanced pool does recover from a lot of stuff in it. Either the filter catches it or the chemicals neutralizes it. The reason we don’t try it, I haven’t got the image of “floaters” out of my mind.

I can’t help but laugh at Neal, for going off on Yvonne when all she said was a pool. She never said “GO ROMP IN PUBLIC POOLS TODAY!” She just simply laid out some things you need to know before having intercourse in A pool, not a public one.

Neal, take a break and maybe go flog the dolphin and chill out a little.

WAAA WAAA WAAA to the grammar police…
GET A LIFE

Seriously why are we arguing about this? The question was, “What are the risks to having sex in a swimming pool, if any?” The doctor answered the question in a straight forward way and gave the risks. She did not suggest that people have sex in public pools or out in the open recklessly around children or others. Whether you think people are disgusting for having sex in a pool or spa is your opinion. Maybe you should take a look at what you do(or don’t)in your bedroom and stop being a prude and have some adventurous sex once in awhile. Remember how you made those three kids and enjoy sex again.

Pool sex is great!! But I do believe it should only be done in a privately owned pool.
As for the spelling and grammar errors and comments about them…It appears that everyone here needs a grammar brush up.

The other thing overlooked is all the breast stroking going on in the pool. Breast stroking usually occurs along with sex. In addition, the freestyle stroke is also used and is considered the fastest.

This column needs to be removed. You need to focus on God and not sex or should I say your flesh. You are in our prayers Doc.

Awesome!

I love it when the self righteous spelling police blow it like that! HAHAHAHA W. Hamilton, I’m laughing at YOU! Dweeb.

“Does no one these days check their spelling?”

Re: Hamilton

It should be noted that you made a punctuation error in your post as well. Periods belong inside ending quotation marks.

Have a great day.

For all you pool ownaz out there, I had the sex in your pool.

It is simply unbelievable for anyone to suggest that they could become pregnant or be put at an increased risk from release of small amounts of body fluids into pools, especially public pools. Talk about paranoia. Public pools are chlorinated at even higher levels than private pools and usually have a continuous release system built into the pump mechanism using solid or liquid chlorine. Why do you think your eyes burn underwater? The number of people that use pools with abcesses, likely infected with dangerous MRSA, open wounds and just general lack of personal upkeep, improper wiping, body odor, hair filled with lice…. people who have sex in pools are placing themselves at risk in exchange for some excitement in there sex lives, and they are not puting others at risk more or less than anyone else.

Wow! I can’t believe how many of you see no problem with this action in a public pool. I too have children and I refrain from taking them to public pools because of water contamination. I used to work for the largest pool supply wholesaler in the Western U.S. and was in charge of the chemicals that you people think kill EVERYTHING, lol, keep telling yourself that. The fact of the matter is, that, yes many people spit, pee, poo, sweat, etc. in public pools making every single one of them contaminated. Infections and sicknesses stemming from such contamination happens all the time. Your not goin to hear about it every night on the evening news because it has long been considered common knowledge. To you whack job exhibitionists, exhibit yourselves in a manner that doesn’t put others at risk. If you believe you are not, consider this: by your own chlorine defense I would assume you would have no problem with someone spitting, peeing, ejaculating, or deficating on you as long as they rinsed you with chlorine water afterwards? Assuming that you don’t already enjoy those things as a fetish. As for me, I don’t think I will be coming over your place for any poolside barbeques anytime in the future. If you own your own pool and don’t plan on having company or your kids in the pool anytime soon, enjoy.

I’ve been reading these articles for some time now and I finally have to comment on something. Invariably there’s always some Christian commenting to the effect that sex is bad or shouldn’t be discussed. All I have to say is go read your Bible. Read Song of Solomon. God rejoices over sex between a husband and wife. He’s right there in the midst even! Oh, and there’s some pretty filthy stuff in there.

Here are a few verses:
5:4 - She gets fingered and is dripping with liquid myrrh. Wonder what that is? Or what the “bolt” might be.
4:16 - Just a little hint here. The fragrance isn’t coming from vegetative flowers. And the fruit Solomon is eating isn’t strawberries and cream. Or IS it???
7:8 - The palm tree she is climbing probably doesn’t have coconuts at the top. Nope she’ll find those at the bottom of this palm tree.

And yes, I know none of this is really filthy. It’s just the beauty of the way of a man with a maid. Read your Bible’s Christians. You cause the pagans to blaspheme the name of God with your legalism and ignorance. Because you lack love (as evident by the tone of your posts) you have become as a noisy gong or clanging cymbal in this forum. Shame on you!

Did the people who are grossed out ever swim in a lake, pond or ocean? Just imagine what goes on in there! People are just too concerned with germs and such these days. We had a saying in my day, “You have to eat a peck of dirt before you die.” Also, semen and naturally occuring lubricating fluids are not “organic wastes”.

public health? Does anyone realize how many chemicals are dumped into a pool and also how many kids pee in the pool? The amount of water and chemicals greatly out weighs the amount of piss found in a pool. The last thing I am worried about is someone having sex in a pool. You guys are crazy.
