Introduction to Lubricants:
Complete selection of Sex Lubricants
Twenty years ago, buying sex lubricants wasn’t much of an ordeal as you could simply go to the pharmacy for a can of Vaseline and get down to business. Unfortunately, with the onset of the AIDS epidemic and the increased use of latex condoms for safe-sex, Vaseline has fallen out of favor because of the detrimental effects of petroleum on latex. What this has meant is a flooding of the market with water-based lubricants and choices between remarkably similar products.
In the early days, your choice of water-based lubricant was easy—KY Jelly. Today, however, the choices are seemingly endless with a variety of lubes of different consistencies and even different flavors. Some are more jellied and thick while some are almost like water. Which you decide to use is largely based on personal preference. Experimenting with different brands is probably the best way to find your personal favorite.
If you are sensitive in the vaginal or anal area, you should look out for products that contain chemicals such as propylene glycol that may cause irritation. These chemicals are added to prolong the shelf-life of the lube but are deemed toxic by the health food industry. Obviously, if any oral sex is going on, you may want to avoid anything with “toxic” in its description. Besides, who needs a long shelf-life if you use it quickly!
Some lubricants are designed to prolong the sexual experience by decreasing the sensation slightly and allowing the man to last longer. If you feel like you could use some help in this category, you may think of looking around for products such as this that act to prolong the good times. If you are looking for an anal lube, you should consider a heavier duty lube that promises to enhance anal pleasure by keeping everything nice and slick back there. |
