 Oh, oil can. Oh, that's better. That's right, people. We're talking about lube. It's not just for gay boys anymore. Hi, everyone. I'm Courtney Act. Now, gay men have known for eons that lube is an important part of sex. But lube isn't just for these fabulous fellas. It can help the gears of any relationship grind a lot smoother. Whether it's self-love, missionary madness, or a little around the backbrew ha ha ha. Lube makes everything better. So here are a few things to keep in mind. There are three kinds of lube. Water-based, silicon-based, and oil-based. Water-based lube can be used in any situation and it's safe on condoms, toys, girls, boys, or anyone in between. Silicon-based is much slicker than water-based and it lasts a lot longer, but it can be damaging to some sex toys. So easy does it. Oil-based, though the longest lasting and often the slickest of lubes is never to be used with condoms as it easily degrades latex and makes it highly likely that the condom will break. Also remember to check the ingredients of your lube. I mean, you look at the label of the food you put in your body, so why wouldn't you be aware of the lube you put in your body, too? And for the more heterosexual viewer, take it from me. Whenever we're talking about anal play of any sort, you can never have too much lube. If you're trying to get a larger object up there, no need to brag, boys, you might consider warming up your butt with a toy or a butt plug first. Speaking from experience, you don't want to waste a perfectly good penis on being a whiny bottom. Oh, it hurts! But also, you want to respect your butthole because it'll hurt when you poop if you don't. Oh, and don't just assume that lube is for the gays or the backdoor shenanigans. Lube makes all sorts of vaginal adventures so much better, so I've heard. Whether it's sex toys or penile penetration or just a good old solo night in, lube makes everything much smoother and a much more intense ride. Remember, no matter where you're using it, lube reduces friction. And since you're not trying to start a fire down there, that's a good thing. Just a quick reminder, silicone lubes aren't usually good on softer sex toys and any lube with glycerin can lead to a yeasty experience in your between me down there ladies. So read the labels and when in doubt, water based is always the best way to go. Remember, less is not more when it comes to lube. Worry about the sheets later and you're o-ring now. Now get out there, play around and see which lubes you like so you can slip and slide your way into sexual fulfillment. Bye.
