Lubrificante intimo: guida completa per scegliere quello giusto

Lubricant what is it and what is it for?

The meaning of lubricant is: pleasure. Joking aside, there are many different types of lubricants (even the one for the engine of cars is a lubricant, for example), but our favorites of course are the lubricants or sex gels that make intercourse much more fluid, smooth and pleasant. Saliva to wet when the genitals are dry is often not enough, and sex oil or a special gel, do a beautiful job of lubrication. So what is the purpose of lubricant? Being specially designed to be in contact with the most sensitive and delicate areas of our body, lubricants are good even in pregnancy and are perfect for erotic massage of the testicles for example, and throughout the body to tickle the erogenous zones, avoid skin-to-skin or skin-toy friction. Lubricants exist in the form of lubricating gel, sex oil, lubricating cream and for this reason the choice is wide; they can be easily washed off the skin with a nice regenerating shower and used as sex oil and massage gel, such as those of the brand control.

All types of lubricants: water-based, silicone, hybrid and anal

Sex and non-sex lubricants, which can be divided into water-based, silicone and anal intimate lubricants, can be chosen depending on the material of the sex toy used, the part of the body involved and individual preferences. While the former are more suitable for vaginal penetration because they mix with the natural lubricant produced by the vagina to form a whole, anal lubricants are more suitable for long-term sexual intercourse because they do not dry in contact with air and are viscous enough to use only a small amount for several minutes. Intimate silicone lubricants, finally, are intimate lubricants of the latest generation that have the advantage of being fluid is more durable. Adaptable to any circumstance, they love to stay away from their peers: never use a silicone lubricant on silicone sex toys, their proximity could prove corrosive!
When choosing a dildo, vibrator or anal plug, so always look at what sexual lubricant gel demands and then ... have fun without a care!

Why use intimate lubricant?

Lubricant is a safe intimate gel, it is usually to be used to facilitate penetration in sexual activities through application to typically affected areas such as penis, vagina and anus. The lubricant or intimate gel allows to reduce friction during sexual activities, eliminating the sensation of pain and thus increasing pleasure. In cases where the woman suffers from vaginal dryness or the vagina is contracted to the point of making penetration difficult, a sex lubricant proves very useful. There is no such thing as a penis lubricant, but there are different densities and formulations, and lubricating creams and gels for sex can be used indiscriminately by men and women.

How to use the lubricant?

It is often contained in special containers similar to those for soap, so it will be sufficient to apply a little on your hands and then spread it on the affected areas, or apply it directly on the sex toy. Keeping the intimate areas moisturized and wet makes everything more pleasant and less painful, so if the lubricant were to dry by dint of rolling around in the blankets just apply it again and again without any risk or side effects.

When to use it: anal sex, vaginismus and vaginal dryness

Sexual lubricants must be used in case of anal penetration or vaginal dryness (typical of menopause due to the lack of estrogen). If in the first case it is more recommended the use of anal or silicone lubricants (unless you do not use sex toys of the same material), in the second case are indicated milder lubricants, water-based, so as not to alter the fragile balance of the vaginal ecosystem. The important thing, however, is to pay attention to the compatibility of materials: never put in contact silicone with silicone, oil with latex of condoms, water with water (ie water-based lubricants during intercourse that take place in water), also make sure that the lubricant, especially in long intercourse such as anal sex, does not irritate the skin and mucous membranes. In that case, do not despair, but carefully choose the one that suits you!

Lubricant in sex and male and female masturbation

While the vagina, from the earliest stages of arousal, prepares itself for penetration with a good dose of natural lubricant, in men the lubrication of the penis is really very limited and is reduced to only a few drops of liquid that comes out of the urethra and goes completely unnoticed. This is the fluid produced by the Cowper's glands, which manifests itself only when the man is already almost completely close to ejaculation. Not to mention circumcised males, where the lack of foreskin and the impossibility of its sliding along the glans makes the use of lubricants for masturbation and lubricants for sexual intercourse even essential for an ejaculation that is not too late!

Edible lubricant: there's something for everyone

Edible lubricants are the last frontier of "tasty" sex. They contain pigments that in contact with the heat of the body acquire a specific flavor (strawberry, chocolate, mint, etc. ...). There are now all colors and flavors: tropical fruits, aromatic spices, cocktails and much more. The edible lubricant is specially designed to be good when ingested and one might think, but why should I do that? A sexual lubricant can be useful even and especially during oral intercourse (to her or him) because perhaps the natural salivation is not abundant and would risk creating a really unpleasant friction, or because you want to further flavor one of the most delicious dishes in the world.
