There are three main types of lube out there today, and each one has many pros and some cons. Lube can enhance sexual pleasure for both parties involved in many ways. The main purpose of a personal lubricant is to reduce discomfort and pain by reducing friction. You can have a lot of fun with different sexual lubes, because some have a warming effect when they come in contact with skin, others have a numbing effect to make erections and sex last longer, some increase blood flow to the genitals when used, causing amplified sensations, and there are some lubricants that come in a variety of delicious, edible flavors. There are even a few brands that make lube that feels icy cool on contact.

While there are many benefits to using a personal lubricant when natural lube is low or not available (like for anal sex), there are some things that you should keep in mind when choosing one. First of all, you need to decide what kind of sexual activity you will be doing: masturbating, anal sex, vaginal penetration, or all of the above. Oil based lube is not recommended any time that sex toys, novelties, or birth control devices such as diaphragms and condoms are being used. Water based lubricants are safe to use with toys and birth control, but often dry out fairly quickly, so frequent applications are common, and recommended. Silicone based personal lubricants last longer than the water based ones, but can be hard to wash off and could cause damage to silicone toys.

Water based personal Lube that is flavored is for external use only, for example, for use while a woman is giving oral sex. Flavored lube is not recommended for use inside the vagina or the rectum, because the glycerin in them can cause infections, and the sugar will throw the delicately balanced ph off in the vagina. Lubricants that have a warming sensation are generally some of the most popular ones that people really enjoy. Another super popular type of lube is the lube that when in contact with skin, it relaxes the nerves at the area, increasing blood flow to the genitals. With more blood flowing, those genitals increase in size and sensitivity, totally upping your sexual experience and stamina.

For the most part, silicone based personal lubricant is recommended and almost required to have a positive anal sex experience. Silicone lube is generally condom friendly, and sex using toys like vibrators and dildos with silicone lube is not a problem. These lubes are thick and will not dry up quickly. Men who want a good lube for masturbating will generally like the oil based ones because they are smoothly slick, but again, do NOT use the oil lubes for vaginal penetration or with condoms or toys. For vaginal penetration, it becomes a matter of personal preference as to which lubricant feels the best (provided, remember, that it is not flavored).

If you are prone to yeast infections to begin with, look for the glycerin free lubricants. Always read labels carefully before you buy lube. Make sure that there is nothing used in the lube that you are or may be allergic to. If you and your partner are trying to get pregnant, there is some evidence that the chemicals used in all kinds of lubes are damaging to sperm, so take that into consideration if you need to.

Even though there is a ton of things concerning lube to watch out for, keep in mind that once you get familiar with the different types, you can experiment more freely and be on your way to new erotic sensations thanks to lube.

Nowadays adult sex toys are considered a perfectly acceptable accessory to any fulfilling and healthy sex life. However it’s worth remembering that all of these items when in use come into contact with highly sensitive intimate areas of your body. As such it is absolutely essential that your sex toys are washed before first use and after each use. Additionally, never under any circumstances re-use a sex toys with more than one sexual partner. This is not only irresponsible but also potentially harmful.

The most effective method of cleaning a sex toy is by using a good antibacterial cleanser that contains Nonoxynol-9. A chemical known for its effectiveness as a spermicidal agent and also for its ability to protect against sexually transmitted diseases. Many condoms, sex lubricants and jellies contain this product.

Typically you would simply dilute your antibacterial cleanser with water, wash your sex toy with a clean cloth before rinsing thoroughly and drying with either paper towels or a lint free cloth. However sex toys can be manufactured from a variety of materials, some of which may need to be treated differently:-

Silicone Sex Toys

A very popular material in the production of sex toys due to its hypoallergenic and easy maintenance attributes. Non battery operated products can be boiled for several minutes or washed using an antibacterial cleanser as detailed above. Ensure your sex toys are completely dry before storing.

Plastic, Acrylic and Glass Sex Toys

All can be washed using an antibacterial cleanser as mentioned above however non battery operated acrylic and glass toys may also be submerged in boiling water prior to thorough drying.

Rubber, Latex and Jelly Sex Toys

The most porous of all the materials used in the manufacturing of sex toys. Extra care needs to be taken with these items, use a good antibacterial cleanser and thoroughly clean the toy before rinsing to remove all traces of the cleanser. These items are more likely to promote infections and as such the use of a condom is recommended for insertable toys.

Other Materials

There are a number of other materials on the market that are typically used for the “realistic” products. All of these items will include instructions advising how best to clean them. Typically they can simply be cleaned using a good antibacterial cleanser in a similar fashion to the items above however it’s worth taking the time to read the included guidance instructions and note any additional requirements.

Additionally, if a particular item has awkward hard to reach areas simply use a cotton wool bud soaked in alcohol or a suitable cleaner. Be sure to thoroughly rinse the sex toy afterwards.

That’s about it, keeping your sex toys clean not only ensures you’ll enjoy long term usage of them but also that you are protected from potentially harmful infections. The above practices take less than five minutes and should under no circumstances be neglected.

Enjoy.
