Good lubrication is a fundamental part of the enjoyment of sexual relations, especially penetration. Feeling that push and pull, slimy and oily, is where one must go. Because that down there doesn't lie. If you like it, it will show.
But, on many occasions, even when we are excited, the lubrication is not the same. Stress, hormones, the menstrual cycle, can work against us and prevent waterlogging of the panty.
It happens to all of us. At 20 or 60.
I know that saliva is the lubricant par excellence, but it is a solution that lasts only a short time. And, if the sex is very intense and it's very hot, removing a little saliva can leave your tongue feeling like sandpaper or dehydrate you.
Therefore: let's normalize the use of lubricant.
There are too many alternatives to make sex more delicious! And one of them is lubricants.
The first thing we have to know is that there are several types of lubricants. We can divide them into: silicone-based, water-based, oil-based and aloe vera or aloe-based. Let's review their characteristics to learn to differentiate them.
Water-based lubricant.
Water-based lubricants are the most common, versatile and most recommended by specialists. But unlike the other ones that last longer, if you're going to have something pretty intense, you may have to reapply it.
Water-based lubricants are perfect for use with condoms. Plus, if it provokes you to take out all your sex toys from the secret drawer, there's no need to worry. You can use a water-based lubricant with any.
If you are looking to get pregnant or your partner pregnant, water-based lubricant is the safest for sperm.
Silicone-based lubricants.
This is a longer lasting option. This means you can focus entirely on the marathon act and forget about repeatedly reapplying lubricant. If there is a lot of vaginal dryness, this is also the option.
You can use silicone-based lubricants with condoms, as it does not destroy them and is ideal for anal sex. This is the second most versatile option because it does not go away with water. You know what it means? That in the shower, beach or pool, this is the one you should use.
However, you should be careful with sex toys made of silicone because they are incompatible.
Oil-based lubricant.
This is a slightly more specific and less versatile alternative. Oil-based lubricants are not as popular as others and can even irritate the skin, but that does not mean they are bad. Contrary to this, they are perfect for those who love to masturbate.
You guessed it! This is the type of lubricant recommended for masturbation. But that is not all. Who doesn't want their partner to give them a sensual or relaxing massage before an intense sex session? And an oil-based lubricant is the perfect ally to do it.
Be careful with sex toys because, unlike the previous one, this type of lubricant can be used with silicone toys. However, avoid them with condoms because they destroy the latex, and do not apply one that contains Vaseline if there will be penetration.
Aloe-based lubricant.
Aloe not only helps us improve our skin and feel more attractive, but it can also make sex tastier and wetter. What a treat! Lubricants of this type are very similar to those that are water-based, but they have moisturizing properties.
In addition, you can use them whenever you want and how you want, since they are compatible with condoms and any sex toy. This is the best combination of self-care and pleasure! But you should avoid them if you suffer from aloe vera allergy.
Now, let's choose them wisely.
