Correct lubrication will help to avoid pain and even extend sex.
What is a lubricant?
Lubricant, or gel lord, is a tool for moisturizing the skin and mucous membrane of the genital organs and improving sliding during sex. It is needed to reduce unpleasant sensations from the dry vaginal, stimulate blood flow and prevent microcracks.
If there is not enough natural lubrication, then there are health problems?
Not necessary. Natural lubrication is released within 10-15 minutes, for a long time it may not be enough. Sometimes a decrease in the secreted lubrication is associated with hormonal imbalance (estrogen deficiency) or with insufficient blood circulation in the genitals.
In addition, there are types of sex where you can’t do without artificial lubrication. There are warm -up lubricants, with which you and your partner will wake up passion faster and get new sensations. The lubricant will also introduce a variety in the process of petting and masturbation, try!
We persuaded, try. Which lubricant is better?
What is suitable for you depends on your goals and preferences. The main difference between lubricants is in the used basis:
- Oil (on a fat basis) – soft, delicate and quickly absorbed. They are good to use for massage, there are even “two in one” options: massage oil and lubricant. But they are incompatible with condoms, leave spots on clothes and bedding. It is best to use them for intimate caresses and male masturbation.
- Water based – the most common. They can easily be bought at a pharmacy, they are inexpensive and comfortable. But such a lubricant dries quite quickly or absorbed, so you need to regularly add a new portion.
- Silicone lubricants – The most modern look. Do not dry for a long time, are not washed off with water. They are more expensive and usually sold in intervar stores (if you are embarrassed to go into a sex shop, you can order goods online). Silicone lubricants in the form of a spray are very convenient. Not all of them are suitable for use with condoms and sex toys, so read the instructions before buying. Poorly washed off linen and clothing.
And the lubricants also differ in their intended purpose:
- For oral caresses Fragrant and water -based lubricants are used to disguise the taste and smell of natural juices.
- For making love in the shower, In a jacuzzi or pool, use silicone lubricants: they are not washed off with water.
- For sex marathons Stell yourself with a silicone lubricant. And grease with a prolonging effect will help to stay longer in the ranks by reducing the sensitivity of the penis.
- For additional protection against unwanted pregnancy Use spermicidal lubricants. They reduce sperm activity. Be sure to read the instructions on how to use this lubricant: usually it cannot be washed up until six hours after sexual intercourse. It is better not to use such a lubricant as a replacement for condoms and other barrier means of contraception, especially when having sex not with a permanent partner. Contraceptive lubricants will not protect against diseases transmitted sexually.
- For healing wounds and microcracks Choose antibacterial lubricants (with silver ions, aloe vera extract, panthenol).
- For latex sex gadgets (vibrators, masturbators) take a water -based lubricant: silicone can damage the toy.
