Could two friends of opposite genders have a bath together without it getting weird?

[Anonymous]

I saw someone ask this question on here, sadly they posted it under the username of Anonymous, but the question I am asking is not word for word what they asked.

They were saying how they bathe with their straight male friend and she thinks he wants more but she asks him to wash her back legs etc and she hasn't made any moves on him.

My question is asking if it is actually possible to be in a bath tub at the same time with your friend, of the opposite gender, without things getting weird.

NOTE that you will both be naked and in hot soapy water, we aren't talking about two friends who are hungover and crashed inside the bath tub with their clothes on, so don't try that.

Will it be all nice and casual like this?

Or will it end up like this perhaps?

Or would it just be flat out

Personally I am thinking through all my female friends and I honestly CANNOT imagine managing to be in a bath with them where we are both fully undressed and in the same tub and somehow meant to act like it means nothing.

Because, I could still be JUST their friend afterwards, but seeing a naked female body is going to make me stiff, unless of course I am behind them and we aren't actually facing each other.

I guess after a lot of times doing it with the same friend I might be able to do it without getting hard, but it is still a thing not worth doing if you just want to be friends.



BONUS QUESTION!

Do you want to be in the bath with any of your friends?

Personally I think that if we were both aware one or both of us would get turned on, then I can imagine a few I would like to be in the bath with, just to see their full figure, there is one girl who I always wished I could see her whole figure, she looks like she has a really good one, I just want to state that seeing someone naked does not mean I would do things with them but she has a body that I just want to see when it is undressed. But I will not, because we are best friends, and no, this is not the girl who rejected me.

LOL, this is hilarious xD You made us all imagine a friend naked in the bathtub, ahahaha
... I mean, if you are somewhat attracted to that friend, then maybe it won't be awkward... but then, itll probably turn into something more.
If it was with a friend you are not attracted to, then it would probably be really awkward, in my opinion.
So if someone was planning to get out of the friendzone with a friend they are attracted to, they could do this. But how do you even convince a friend to do this might be the real question xD

I think if this happened to me, with an attractive friend, I couldnt help but have it turn into more than just a bath... And maybe its gonna be an experience, and we will remain just friends after... still, I feel like that experience will be inevitable...
Under normal circumstances

I think everyone in this question had to picture the scenario to think if they would be comfortable with it :D Just a girl and guy casually naked in a bath together and even if they are friends then it feels like things may well escalate even if it was just getting physical but not actual sex, who knows, it is a peculiar but possible scenario. Yeah I honestly think if I got in a bath with the person I was trying to get out of the friendzone with, I would be too flustered and turned on to handle it, if it was a friend that I believed maybe we wouldn't do anything and if we did then it would mean nothing then I would be less worried, but with a person I have history with of trying to get out the friendzone with, like for example if I got in the bath with a person who rejected me, and we tried to act like friends, then that would not sail smooth :D I guess you convince them by daring or by inviting them? Maybe by telling them you need help to wash your back because you can't reach it, which is fair as it is a area that you can't see, so maybe you could use that as a excuse? Honestly when you say "Experience" I just think you are trying to camouflage the fact you would end up having sex and you don't want to say it :D but an "Experience" may well mean any Sexual activity then I suppose? Under a ordinary circumstance it feels like it would be HIGHLY likely that and EXPERIENCE would take place even if it were between friends, how awkward they would be after it I do not know. :p

[SnowyOwl]

"Hey Boy, I dare you to take a bath with me!!" or the other way, if a friend came up to me saying that... I'd be rolling on the floor laughing XDDDD Funniest s**t I ever heard, ahahahah... And yes, by experience I mean sexual experience, but not necessarily sex. It could just be a lot of touching.. Thanks for mho by the way!

[Asker]

I actually hadn't noticed the quotation marks and actually thought you were saying you would dare me to get in a bath with you! :D I had to do a double take and re-read it and then I was like "Ahhh.. Got yah" Just being like if they say "But you're naked, just be like "Are you such a virgin you are scared of someone with no clothes on?" and see if that gets them to join :D I know that if one of my female friends said that while daring me, it would very quickly change me from being uncomfortable to feeling both annoyed, laughing and challenged so I would join then just to prove them wrong, JUST to prove them wrong. :D And you are welcome :)

I've only showered naked with a female friend, at a nude beach. I wouldn't shower with a male friend in private because of what you described...

[Asker]

Yeah, guys don't always think about sex, but if we see a naked body then most guys will get turned on and that is just natural, there are some who don't, some just don't get phased by seeing naked people. I think if I ever went to a nude beach, I might just not be able to handle it at all. I just wanted to ask, and this is not calling you out or anything this is just curiosity, If you will walk on a nude beach, does that mean you are okay with guys seeing you nude from a distance but not when it is in a confined space? If it was a mixed bathing and there were lots of naked girls and guys, would that make you more comfortable? I only ask this because I wanted to check the comfort difference between being seen naked in public and being naked in front of one person but close up, but I agree, my explanation of what happens when a guy sees a naked body would definitely make it less comfortable to be in private with them I suppose :) Plus, even on a nude beach you don't need to be nude, so I can't assume you were nude when you were walking around with people. ^_^

[Opinion Owner]

I'm ok with people seeing me naked. Although some men make me extremely uncomfortable, the way they stare like barely blinking is just... ugh. I was nude at the beach, there were lots of families it was a nice place but there was this one guy pointing at my friend and I with his cellphone 🤦🏼‍♀️ we stared directly at his phone's camera until he turned around. If he didn't we would've called security.

[Asker]

That is something I couldn't do, I couldn't walk around naked in front of people, I might just be able to be in a bath with someone but walking around naked with people I don't even know is something completely out of my comfort zone >_< But I am amazed how people are comfortable in doing it, I don't judge them for it, it is quite the opposite in my opinion, I think it is just very brave to be able to have the confidence to walk around naked in front of others. :) Yeah I can see how that might make you annoyed, so you don't want people taking photos of you naked but you are okay being seen naked, I assume it is because photos can be saved and that is uncomfortable to think about. Thank you for being so open about this with me :)

[Opinion Owner]

Why would it make you so uncomfortable? I was taught to be ashamed of my body like every other kid is but then I started questioning it. Why do I even care? Why do you? Is it because of what people might think? People I don't know saw me naked at that beach and then forgot it like I forgot what they looked like

[Asker]

I guess because I consider naked bodies more like a thing that only get seen between lovers and not between all. As for the ashamed part, it isn't exactly ashamed, it is more like I am always wearing clothes so it feels completely wrong to go outdoors and then arrive at a area and not wear any of them, it would just feel completely wrong, just thinking about it right now is making me uncomfortable because even if I knew I was not the only one there doing it, I would be so used to wearing clothes that it would feel so wrong for me to be walking with nothing on.

[Opinion Owner]

I see, thanks for sharing too :)

[yup_its_me]

Yes, I believe they definitely could.
The guy would almost certainly get an erection I'm thinking though and it has an easy potential to go further.
To the female who asked this- they could ask them to wash their back or hair and then lean back into them, touching the dick then start going up against him and guide him to touch your boobs. I would definitely shower or bath with a friend of either gender tbh- especially if it wasn''t weird.
If it was like the first pic, then it would probably be a massive turn on for me even then.
Overall, yes it's possible between two friends of opposing genders (or same in same sex relationships) but it can very easily become sexual.

The bath is not something I’ve done with friends as in ‘sitting in the same tub very close to each other’ or even touching each other, that would be too intimate with a ‘normal’ friend of either gender of whatever orientation.

Where I live it’s relatively normal to go with good friends to a sauna, these are mostly ‘compulsory naked’ as well as coed. This means that I’ve seen many of my good friends of both genders naked, here there is some distance and you can even sit in the sauna (almost) shoulder on shoulder if it’s busy without it being awkward. There are also bigger pools to cool down in, but these are big enough to not bump into each other. You have to get used to it if you’re not from North Europe but we think it’s cool.

It rarely results in boners nor inappropriate actions inside the sauna.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

I know two friends of the same sex can bathe or shower together and still be friends. But two friends that are of the opposite sex? I'm not too sure about that. To me that seems too romantic to be just only best friends. Unless the two friends weren't attracted to each other romantically and sexually then it could work.

[KrisPW]

Opposite genders... I don't think so. It's just so intimate. While not always leading to sex, there is still lots of sexy contact.

[Kurαȷ]

It's not "weird", it's simply just sexual and non-platonic, the moment you start entertaining the idea.

[DavidFox]

A small bathtub, I don’t see the point. Take turns or have one take a shower. I’ve been in the hot tub with friends and it wasn’t weird.

[boombastik]

I have taken showers with friends without it getting weird but I had already fucked them before but a bath, especially with someone i hadn't slept with... I'd be like that song by Plies. "Please excuse my hands, they just wanna touch"! Not to mention she's gonna feel this dick crawling up her back inch by inch. Hard to say no to that. No pun intended.

[Titanic1912]

I was wanting to do that with a few of my female friends. But I was really wanting to relax in a hot bubble bath with my girlfriend. We wouldn’t get crazy but we would wash each other, hair and bodies, and probably take a nice long nap with her head on my chest and my hands on her boobs.

[SofLof]

No, there is no reason friends shower together not even girl on girl. If I took a bath a guy friend it doesn't matter who it is, they would try and have sex, no dought

[Asker]

The only reason I can imagine that is acceptable is if The girl was currently recovering from a disabled limb from an injury that may require someone with them, so a friend would be of help, but even then a family member would be better. But let's say the girl lives alone and has moved out from her families house, she lives far from them and she is recovering from a limb injury or perhaps needs help with prosthetics when getting in and out of the bath, but she can't call up her family because of how far they live, she can however call a friend. As for the being in the bath together, I suppose that could only be between VERY select few and VERY comfortable friends. Some kind of friendship that I don't think I have with mine, but then again I have never had the opportunity arise so I don't know if I would react in a certain way. I know I wouldn't try to have sex with them, I would definitely want to touch them though, but I would not want to have sex.

[SofLof]

Very specific situation but then again if she has an injury or disabled then I'm sure she wouldn't want sex. Touching I guess you would have to do to help clean but if you're just helping get in and out of the bath then I see no reason why you would jump in the bath too 🤔

[Asker]

Precisely, that is what I think, I think being in the bath as well would have to be between very comfortably close friends who are very physically close and see no problem with that kind of closeness. But yes, being outside of the bath tub and touching them to help them in and out of the bath and possibly help clean them seems rational :)

[clampfan101]

I find the idea of any two people bathing together weird unless they’re SO partners.

[Asker]

I suppose I would do it if I was dared to by my friend, like if we were in a party and someone told me that they dared me to get in the bath with one of the girls who is also in the dare circle, I guess then I would do it, but what kind of friend dares you to do that? -__-

[clampfan101]

That’s why the few times I played truth or dare I always chose truth. lol If someone dares you outside a dare game, you are fully entitled to refuse. I also think that even during a dare game, you have the right to say no and simply stop playing. It’s just a game, after all. And ya, if someone dared me to do that they would not be my friend...

[Asker]

:D I find that I often prefer dare because I don't like giving too much of myself away and when I say Truth, they have asked in the past who I love and so on, so I now always just go for dare, and people these days are not very creative any ways with dares, so the dare is always super boring :p

[clampfan101]

Well, my life is boring with nothing much to hide. lol To each their own. :)

[Gedaria]

Possible. But very rare...

[KrakenAttackin]

Idiotic question.

[Whtevernever]

Platonic bathing in a small bathtub? No. There is no reason for that except to be naked and touching, and that isn't a platonic goal.

[Joker_]

No 󠀡

[Asker]

Loved that, just such a straight to the point answer :D

[msc545]

I think it might get a bit awkward...

[Slim57]

Yes haha definently

[Yourman86]

No. I have tons of friends I would though

[Anonymous]

Some can , most won't.

[Asker]

So for majority wise it will not be capable but can happen in small cases

[Anonymous]

I don’t think I could bathe with anyone without feeling like it’s weird.
