Look up this recipe anywhere else and they will tell you that it is NOT CONDOM SAFE. Flax seeds have a high oil content, oil breaks down latex. Great recipe, not so great safer sex information.

Here's what a very wise foodie friend suggested about the water-based nature of flax lube...

"You wouldn't get peanut oil from boiling peanuts. You have to grind them and then separate the oil from the solids and liquids. It would be a different issue if the flax seeds were ground."

So, the flax lube seems to be pretty darn condom-safe, as it is not oily and should not damage latex.

Check wikipedia's page on mucilage for a list of other plants that provide water-based slick.

What about olive oil?

[GristTV]

Begging for a virgin joke?

Don't use oil, olive or otherwise, if you want it to be condom-safe.

@revcynner High temperature increases solvating power of water - period. The matter is how much more, and if that is significant. Try boiling some tomato seeds, you will get a layer of linoleic acid and its esters. I'm merely posing the same question for this process.

[Narcissist86]

@revcynner Resort to ad hominem attacks, it really supports your point. By the way, your "source" - I still don't know what, I'll assume MSDS - doesn't say 50% chance of being "toxic." It kills 50% of test animals. 9 mL/kg represents about 8.69 g/kg, still 10x more than aspirin. Not to mention metabolic differences between dogs and man - theobromine is much more toxic to canines than us.

[revcynner]

Yes, I understand that the case with chocolate too, but it's rare that there are foods people can eat that animals can't, so I'm sorry, if an additive can potentially kill my pet, I don't feel real great about ingesting it myself.

[revcynner]

@Narcissist86 That's fine, because I really didn't feel like spending my Saturday night arguing with an idiot graduate level (or beyond) chemistry student who doesn't understand that you don't get oil from boiling seeds. You ignored where I cited a peer reviewed published document where PG has a 50% chance of being toxic in DOGS at 9mL/kg and is not permitted in cat food AT ALL because of the risk associated with it. So it could kill my dog, but it's fine for me to eat.
