This is true; I have often suspected the most happily married couples would also be consummate diplomats. Brutal honesty is often highly over rated when you are living or plan to live with someone for the rest of your life. If discretion is the better part of valor then expert tact is quite possibly the best part of a happy marriage.

As to the question about condoms and chlorine. Chlorine is not condoms greatest enemy, friction is. Chlorine can eventually breakdown a condom but since the condom is going to spend most of its active life inside another body chlorine is not its first concern.
Because sex underwater usually reduces natural lubrication, it is important to apply a silicone lubricant before getting into the water. To use a condom under water the man needs to put the condom on before his penis gets wet or else the condom might slip off during sex.
Of course, the water in the pool or hot tub could be forced into the vagina or rectum causing temporary dryness, irritation and possible infection. It seems that water bound sex is fraught with its own obstacles so perhaps poolside sex might be a safer option but probably not as adventurous. Follow your gut but please use the condom and the silicone lubricant if you’re going to walk (or swim) on the wild side.
