A Breakdown of Personal LubesBy Phoenix Delray Sexual lubes are an important part of great sex that is overlooked by many people, more often than they should be. Sexual lubes are important not only because they can provide protection against uncomfortable and painful chafing, but they can enhance sensations in all the right places. Sexual lubes come in three forms, and those are oil based, water based, and silicone based. All three kinds of personal lubes are good for different kinds of sexual (or non sexual) activities, so it is important to keep track of these to ensure that your sexual experiences are as great as they can be. Oil based sexual lubes are the easiest to keep the facts straight with. Just remember that unless you need a sexual lubricant for masturbating, you should stay away from the oil based stuff. Oil lubes break down latex, so they are not condom friendly, and they also ruin sex toys that are made of latex. Not only that, but oil lubes can coat the vagina, anus, and rectum, which can ruin the pH balance in those areas and cause infections and irritations. Water based lubes are probably the most commonly used type, for a couple of reasons. These personal lubes are cheaper than the other types, they are great for sensitive skin or for people with allergies to the other types of lubes, and water based sexual lubrication is safe to use with condoms, latex toys, and birth control devices. The only issue with water based sexual lubes is that they dry out fairly quickly, which means that they need to be reapplied more often than the silicone based ones. Silicone based personal lubes are great for any type of sexual activity that doesnt involve sex toys made out of silicone. Silicone lubes plus silicone toys equals broken toys, so keep that in mind. Many people like the silky glide feeling that silicone sexual lubes provide, and they are long lasting, so you dont have to stop several times to reapply it. Even though they are more expensive than the water based lubes, the silicone kinds last longer. Just make sure that when you are shopping for the perfect personal lubes, read the packaging that they comes in before you buy to make sure of the kind that they are, and also to make sure that you are not allergic to any of the ingredients in them. Following these guidelines will help you on your way to having great sexual experiences, thanks to great sex lubes. About the author For more information on gun oil, please visit our website. |
