Lubricant -- lotion that is designed to
enhance "slipperiness." Can be used for intercourse or masturbation.
Highly recommended for post-menopausal women and condom users.
A "lubricant," (sometimes referred to as a "sex lube," or
just "lube,") is usually a water-based, condom-friendly liquid or jelly used to
enhance or replace a woman's natural lubrication. Some people regard lubricants
as a must-have item in this age of safer sex and they are an essential
ingredient to successful anal intercourse. The use of a lubricant on the inside
of a condom can make the sensations delivered to the penis much stronger.
Prior to the current, safer-sex era, many people used
oil-based lubricants, using vaseline or mineral oil. Neither of these are
particularly healthy; petroleum-based oils destroy latex upon contact, making
them useless for use with condoms. Oils also coat the inside of the vagina and
rectum, providing a breeding ground for dangerous bacteria. Even monogamous
couples who don't have to worry about safer sex should avoid using oils for this
reason, as well as one other: if it destroys the latex of condoms, it will also
destroy the latex of diaphragms, cervical caps, and sponges, as well as the
protective coatings around some IUDs.
