Spice Up Your Sex Life With the Right Lubricants

Oftentimes, we all go through different circumstances in life that affect our libido and sex life in general. Having their heads buried in their daily activities, for some couples, it’s hard to make room for enjoyable sex in their busy schedules. For others who have been long enough together, sex has become a part of a routine. Supposing they know what their partner wants, they just go straight to it every time and get the job done.

Whether it’s getting a little boring between the sheets or everything’s fine, searching for ways to spice things up has never hurt anyone. For some, sex toys are the go-to for an unforgettable night of pleasure. Others swear in the use of poppers. Different things indeed work for different people. Yet, there’s one rule that can be applied to everyone’s taste and preference: the wetter, the better! Using lube can make a world of difference in your sex life. You just need to get a little creative!

Why Do You Need a Lube?

There is a lot of misconception about being wet and dry. Vaginal dryness is a thing, and it often has a negative connotation of not being aroused or into sex. This isn’t true, though. Just like they can get wet when not aroused, women can be aroused and not get wet.

Getting wet requires as much mental and physical effort as getting an erection does. This means that although vaginas are self-lubricating, sometimes natural lube isn’t enough. Being tired, cold or nervous are some of the many factors contributing to this. That’s where personal lubricants come in very helpful. Applying lube can be a much-needed solution for a more pleasant sex experience, not only for women but for men also.

Unlike the vagina, the booty has no natural lubrication. This makes using lube a must for anal sex. It can prevent friction and provide cushioning that takes away the pain and doubles the pleasure. This can also be said about using sex toys. You can use lube for oral sex, as well. The different flavours and aromas can work wonders for getting down there and enhance the experience for both the giver and receiver. Chocolate bliss and strawberry sorbet, if you know what I mean.

If you use a condom, using a lubricant can make it easier and less awkward to put on.

What Kinds of Lube Are There?

There are three kinds of personal lubricants.

Water-based lubricants. These are very common and beginner-friendly, which makes them a great option if you’re new to the world of lubes. They’re closest to women’s natural lubrication, which makes them a good choice for those with skin sensitivities. Water lubes are very versatile and can be used for different sexual adventures, as they’re perfectly safe for any toy and body part. They can be easily washed. Yet, they don’t last long and often need to be reapplied.

Silicone-based lubricants. These have a thicker consistency and therefore are much more slippery. They’re condom-friendly, but be careful with the toys as they can degrade silicone devices over time. They’re great for anal sex, sex marathons and aquatic adventures, as they’re also water-resistant.

Oil-based lubricants. These are thick and slippery but can’t be used with latex condoms, as they’ve proven to degrade them. This makes them not as common as the other ones.

Creative Ways of Using Lube

Lubes aren’t just for preventing friction and damage. They can be used in various ways to spice things up between you and your partner. You just need to use your imagination.

Use Lube to Enhance Your Foreplay

Oftentimes, our busy lives and demanding schedules make it impossible for us to relax. It can be challenging for us to synchronise our minds and bodies so they can team up, giving us the ultimate sexual experience. That’s why foreplay is so important.

Foreplay makes us more open to examining our sexual desire. It also makes us more open to each other. Foreplay is often compared to having an appetiser before the main course: it pampers our taste buds and gets the juices flowing ready for the main meal, which will give you the most satisfaction.

Using lube can give you the time you need to synchronise your libidos. Being wet from the very beginning can make you both have peace of mind, not asking yourselves why and when. It can make you more open to experimenting from the start until you’re ready for the main action. Also, there are many lubes that come with additional features, like tingling, twitching and cooling sensation. Along with the many flavours and aromas, such sensations can take your foreplay to another level.

Use Lube for a Sensual Massage

We often forget the power of the touch—especially that of warm hands against our partner’s naked body. A sensual massage can be the sexual milestone our relationship needs. It can be a great foreplay option. Or a single intimate experience that goes a long way toward revealing our partner’s true self and deeply hidden desires.

Don’t be afraid to experiment. Everyone experiences touch differently, so what works for you doesn’t have to work for your partner. Observe them while examining their bodies for hints of what feels good for them and what doesn’t. Explore different erogenous zones, and don’t forget the ears, the back of their neck, and inner thighs.

Giving the perfect glide lubes are a must for such sensual massage. Regular lubes can do the work, but there are also special ones that work even better. Use them to create the perfect touching experience that can open up space for much enjoyable sex later on.

To Lube or Not to Lube?

This isn’t the question. If you’re wondering how can I make my sex life exciting, lube is the answer. Make sure the next time you open your bedside drawer it’s because you’re reaching for the perfect tube of lube.
