Lubes and Oils

Lubes And Oils: Lubes and oils can make sex more pleasurable, or in the case of anal sex, remove the pain. Since the anus is not self-lubricating, lubricants from a tube, bottle, or jar are extremely helpful for making anal penetration more pleasurable and more comfortable. Though the anus sometimes feels wet, the sweat and natural mucus can actually be a cause of irritation, discomfort or even infection without the help of sexu small amount of natural mucus and sweat that are present can lead to discomfort, irritation, and infection without the addition of extra lube. Hundreds of different lubricants are available. Water-based lube is considered to be the safest all-purpose lubrication you can us for sex. It's also popular since many people find it to be non-irritating and it does not cause latex to deteriorate.

You may not know why deteriorating latex can be a bad thing, but when you see the holes in your condoms, it will all make sense to you. Some women find yeast infections can occur when using water-based lubes containing glycerine or sugar. This is especially true if they are already prone to infections of that sort. If you want to avoid lubes with sugar and glycerine, make note that they are usually the flavoured variety. Flavoured lubes are only for external use and shouldn't be ever used inside the vagina or anus anyway. Water-based lubes usually dry quicker than oil based lubes, so just add a bit more during the intercourse and you should be fine. Oil-based lubes can leave a coating on the rectum or vagina that leads to infections or can introduce bacteria to the area. For this reason, oil-based lube are not considered a safe lubricant. Oil-based lubes can also dissolve latex gloves, condoms, diaphragms, and other latex safer-sex products. This drastically reduces their effectiveness and use of oil-based lubes should be discouraged. Silicone-based lubes are a newer form of lubrication, that has the benefits of water-based lubes, and the long-lasting effects of oil-based lubes. Sometimes silicone-based lubes can be hard to wash off, but some people think the benefits greatly outweigh the mess. Just make sure to wash with warm, soapy water afterward and you should be fine.
