| 9 | Two people have sex under a running shower. Since shower windows have a tendency to get steamed up, this allows for literal CensorSteam. [[WallBangHer Sex against the wall]] ''is'' a possibility, but there is the likelihood of injury from slip and fall (which hardly happens in fiction, unless one was to write a romantic comedy [[DeconstructedTrope that puts a realistic—and painful—spin on this trope]]). |

| 11 | Often an example of IdealizedSex. |

| 192 | * In one early episode of ''Series/{{Chuck}}'', Chuck and Sarah are doused with a poison absorbed through the skin, so they jump into a shower half-clothed to counteract the effects.

| 193 | * Discussed in ''Series/CriminalMinds'', when Garcia's talking to JJ about showering with Kevin. They both note that typically seems like a good idea right up until you actually do it: "Sometimes a girl's just got to wash her hair alone, you know?" |
| 194 | * In the ''Series/{{Crusade}}'' episode "[[Recap/CrusadeS01E07TheRulesOfTheGame The Rules of the Game]]", the RomanceArc between Gideon and Series/BabylonFive CO Elizabeth Lochley culminates in them having sex in her shower after [[GladToBeAliveSex surviving an assassination attempt]]. |

In keeping with the running gag in the series that sex is almost always awkward and ridiculous, they first have fun, but then the glass wall breaks and Tad falls out fully out of the shower and flat on his back, injuring himself enough that he cannot get back up, and Maureen has to get Hannah (their daughter's) help to help him, horrifying all three of them. |

| 209 | * {{Shower Scene}}s in general are fairly common in {{prison}} dramas like ''Series/{{Oz}}'', but a particularly notable Shower Of Love subversion occurs in season three: homosexual Richie Hanlon has just come off death row and returned to the general population. First night back, he's in the shower when another man starts coming onto him. Both Richie and the audience are expecting some celebratory "off-death-row" loving, until [[spoiler:the other man slits Richie's throat with a razor blade he had hidden between his teeth]]. |
| 210 | * The short-lived British sitcom ''Series/TheSavages'' had the main characters doing this, then wondering why it had been so long since they tried it. They remember it was because they could never agree on the water temperature. |

| 254 | |
| 255 | [[folder:Webcomics]] |
| 256 | * Oddly given its general cheerfully explicit approach to sex and plentiful strips featuring the cast {{shower|Scene}}ing, ''Webcomic/MenageA3'' mostly seems to {{avert|edTrope}} this. Notably, Gary's shower with Amber is interrupted just as it's getting ''really'' interesting (strips #662-666, October 23-November 01, 2012, NSFW). |
| 257 | * In ''[[http://www.thewretchedoneswebcomic.com The Wretched Ones]]'' it is implied that John often attempts this whenever [[http://www.thewretchedoneswebcomic.com/?p=118 Charlie is showering]]. |
| 258 | * ''WebComic/{{Sunstone}}'' has this happen. Since it happens right after the protagonists' first BDSM session, it can be assumed that they're both rather exhausted and it's more of an extended watery cuddle than an all-out-romp. |
| 259 | * ''Webcomic/SidekickGirl'': Val and [[DatingCatwoman Isauro]] seal their RelationshipUpgrade with one of these. |
| 260 | * ''Webcomic/TheRockCocks'': Liz and Dakota have a chapter-long one in Track 16. |

Angered, she takes photos as evidence of the affair and then locks the lovebirds inside the shower by nailing down several tables to the door. |
| 265 | * ''WebAnimation/MangaWaido'': In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMlFSTNeIrM "When I got home, my wife was taking a bath with a man I didn't know!"]] Shinichi called his cheating wife Rena while she was having her affair in the shower as retaliation for blackmailing his daughter Yuuka. When she and her lover came out of the shower, the lover turns out to be [[spoiler:Yuuka's teacher Mr. Okada.]] |
| 266 | * ''WebAnimation/MoniRobo'': [[https://youtu.be/Jdr1au0BlgA Masashi]] cheated on his wife Charako with her high school friend Satomi in the shower and even had her put on a {{school swimsuit}} to roleplay until his daughters Mika and Moka caught him, snapped photos of the affair and locked the lovebirds in there. |

| 269 | ** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeKPD4r8yQ8 I came home to my husband having an affair in the shower]]": Yulia locked her cheating husband Samuel and with his lover Harley in the bathroom with a doorstop while she called the lovebirds' boss, Mr. Quimby, to report the affair. Much to her surprise, her parents and in-laws also showed up at her house to support her. She then exposed them to face the ire of the presents, wearing nothing but their underwear. |
| 270 | * ''WebAnimation/TroubleBusters'': |
| 271 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrjT-UwV02w Mary]] cheats on her fiancé Aaron with his workplace manager Kevin in the bathtub. When he caught them in the act, he barricaded the doors with heavy boxes and called his parents, in-laws, and his boss to come over. |
| 272 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rL2Fgif4eZ8 Megan]] cheats on her husband Alex with her boss Karl in the shower. However, he chose to let it be while he concocted a plan to catch them red-handed. When Megan couldn't stand the cold and Alex told her he was inviting some friends, she spills the beans and confesses to cheating. |
| 273 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PMx9H6FdVQ Karen]] cheats on her husband Alex in the shower, much to his dismay once he caught them. The next time, he and his boss locked them in the bathroom in retaliation for the rumors started against him because he wasn't happy about his wife being pregnant after he caught them the first time. It turns out her lover was Mr. Uriel, who reprimanded him for his reaction to Karen's pregnancy earlier on. |

| 279 | |
| 280 | [[folder:Web Videos]] |
| 281 | * Deconstructed in [=WatchMojo=]'s video about "Top 10 Things Movies Always Get Wrong About Sex" (now removed). |
| 282 | -->'''Voiceover''': Shower sex is probably the most annoying thing you can attempt with your partner in the real world. One of you will slip and hurt and/or embarrass yourself, the height difference makes things difficult, one of you will be freezing cold, water does not make the greatest lubricant, having sex standing up is damn near impossible, should we go on? Seriously, don't let the movies fool you -- shower sex is the worst. |

| 287 | * In ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' episode "Family Goy", Peter [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYa61dMGljE makes love to a life-sized cardboard Kathy Ireland figure]] in the shower, in an example of taking CardboardPal (or perhaps CompanionCube) to its (il)logical extreme. |
