Lube: everyone uses it. Or if they don’t, they really should. Lube is an essential ingredient to a wet, pleasurable sexual experience for all parties involved. But not all lube is created equal. Here are 9 facts everyone should know.
- Water-based lubes are the most common type of lube
While these are the most popular, probably because they wash off easily, they also dry out quickly, which means you need to reapply during longer fuck-fests. - Silicone-based lubes last longer than water-based
They also are great in the shower since they don’t blend with water. - Silicone-based lube should not be used with silicone sex toys
The material in the lube will break down the material in sex toys, which could let bacteria in. - Silicone-based can be hard to remove
Buyer beware… - Oil-based lubes breaks down the latex in condoms
That’s why they should mainly be used for handjobs, unprotected sex, and sexual activities requiring, um, bigger equipment, like fisting. - Lube has an expiration date
Note: once you open it, you should use it within a year. - Keep lube at room temperature and with the bottle closed
So maybe don’t put it in the fridge? - A well lubricated cock enhances pleasure for both the man and the woman
Amen to that! - It also helps sex last longer
And it can help men sustain an erection, especially for those with sexual dysfunction problems.
