What Are The Best Types Of Sex Lubes?

It is commonly recommended that sex lubes be used in intercourse and even in foreplay when you are making love to a partner. Lubricant not only helps make intercourse and orgasm easier but can also prevent injury and soreness. There are several types of sex lubes to consider, and this is definitely not a one size fits all solution.

First, determine what the purpose of buying lubricant is; for example, do you want to simply help penetration along and help your female partner become very wet? Or are you interested in sex lubes that help men to maintain stronger erections? These lubes could be topical or could be put inside a condom for direct application.

If you and your partner want to try anal sex (yes, you should both decide on this…anal surprises are never appreciated!) then you have to buy a special type of lubricant and plenty of it, because improper technique and dryness in this case can actually cause rectal damage. There are also sex lubes exclusively for males using masturbator sleeves or porn star parts. In fact, these lubes are typically different than lubes meant for couples sex.

Some lubricant has special warming or cooling features, which greatly enhance the sensation of intercourse. Some sex lubes are edible and perfect for oral sex. Traditional lubricant is definitely not edible, and thus performing oral sex after applying lube would be a dangerous move.

Lastly, you must consider the differences between oil, silicone and water based lube. Water-based lube is the safest and is the easiest to clean. It also tends to be smooth and slick, the way most lovers prefer. The main disadvantage of water lube is that you must use much more of it over time.

Oil-based sex lubes tend to be slimy and messy, and yet sufficient for the job (even without re-dosing). However, they are also perceived as questionable for a woman’s health and may destroy the effectiveness of condoms. Silicone lubes are similar to water-based lubes but are greasier and thinner. It also takes much longer for this lube to dry out, which is a good thing. They can also be used in water. The only disadvantage is their unique feel (usually not as pleasurable as water) as well as a difficult cleanup.

Figure out your need first and then shop for sex lubes online. Always use lubricant, for safety, for convenience, and most importantly, for pleasure!
