Hello guys!
For my first post here we are going to talk about something very near and dear to my heart. That something is lube. Now, I don’t know much about straight sex, but I do know a lot about lesbian sex and anal sex, so I know lube. Aren’t you happy to be reading this?
First of all, let me just talk about sex positive sex toy stores. If you don’t purchase your goods from a reputable, thoughtful caring sex toy store you are doing no one a favor. So if you’re going to spend the money you might as well spend it somewhere nice. (I recommend Babeland for info, photos and web design, but purchasing at Blowfish for prices. That is just me.)
Back to lube. In my opinion the MOST important aspect of sex is proper lubrication and sometimes that just doesn’t come naturally. For those times you will need to keep a good lube around. There are several different kinds of lubrication: water-based, flavored (which I don’t quite understand), silicone, and oil-based. They all have their different advantages and disadvantages.
1. Water-based - My personal favorite. I will detail a little more in this, but I like water-based as long as you get a good one.
2. Flavored - One of the more unnecessary products out there. The only use I can think it would have is if you are trying to mask the taste of something… but if you don’t like the taste of vagina or penises, maybe you’re in the wrong business, you know? I guess you could use it for rimming, but really a clean ass, unlike a vagina, tastes like nothing. Perhaps that is more for another day.
3. Silicone is particularly problematic because if you are using it with silicone toys (the safest material for toys) it can cause damage to your toys. Otherwise it is a superior lubricant. More expensive though.
4. Oil-based - They pretty much suck. They aren’t really made for sexual activity and they can destroy latex. Leaving you wide open for an STD. Good for male solo masturbation only. They could be used for anal sex, but that would be an unwise choice. Plus water-based lube Maximus does a much better job.
I have tried probably about 30 different lubes since I became sexually active and only one has proven itself to be consistently up to the task. That lube is Liquid Silk. It’s awesome! It feels like the real thing! It rocks! Plus at $13.95 for 250 ml it’s really not that expensive. If fisting and anal is more your thing you are better off getting Maximus. It’s the same lube just stronger.
Hooray for lubricant!
