Lubricants many Sexual Experiences more Enjoyable

Though not everyone realizes it, a little lubricant can make many sexual experiences more enjoyable. There are more lubricants available today than ever before - and they are more widely available than ever before. And, contrary to popular belief, lubricants aren't only for people experiencing a lack of natural lubrication.

Couples, singles, and young and old alike are discovering the benefits of lubricant for their sex lives. Whether to make sex more fun and sensual, to ease your way into a new sexual activity, or to remedy vaginal dryness, a lubricant is always a good thing to have on hand.

Men and women sometimes hesitate about introducing lubricants into sex, for fear of hurting a partner's feelings. Will it imply she's not responding well enough or that he's not a good enough lover? The truth is, lubricants give couples the opportunity to stay connected and create some excitement in their relationship.

Part of the fun of lubricants is experimenting with the variety of formulas available. Many people are curious about flavored lubricants, silicone lubricants and those oil-based lubricants of the good old days. Ultimately, lubricants may add to the sexual experience for a variety of reasons and choosing the right one—or more than one—is half the fun!

Who uses lubricants? Just about everyone, at one time or another. Lubricants are a popular choice for women who may suffer from vaginal dryness or pain during intercourse as a result of hormonal fluctuations during and after menstruation; perimenopause or menopause; childbirth; breastfeeding; and simply as a result of stress, including among younger women.

Men and women may enjoy using a lubricant alone or with a partner, during masturbation or manual stimulation, or with sex toys, both for ease of penetration and because some materials dry up natural lubrication. Lubricants are also recommended for any type of anal play in men or women, including using anal sex toys and anal sex, since the anus does not naturally lubricate.

Finally, many men and women use lubricants simply because they want to or would like to or are curious. Lubricants can add novelty and variety to a sexual experience, especially the flavored and warming varieties. Lubricants are also good to have for “quickie” sex experiences, when natural lubrication might not be adequate.
