Lubricating your Way to Sexual Pleasure

Lubricate the Path to Sexual Pleasure

Since time immemorial, man has continuously sought ways to give himself sexual pleasure. These include experimenting with a wide variety of devices and substances such as condoms and lubricants. Condoms, first developed in the 1600's, have traditionally been targeted for men while lubricants have been obviously for women. However in recent years, modern technology has come up with female versions of condoms and lubricants known for being applicable on the man's sex organ.  Male sexual lubricants and male sex oils obviously increase sexual pleasure for both partners!

While condoms are strictly known as contraceptive devices and protection against sexually transmitted diseases (STDS), lubricants are largely intended to provide sexual pleasure and more enjoyable sexual intercourse. Lubricants can easily do this by providing the needed fluid to make the intimate area of the human body wet, and thereby slippery, making for a totally pleasurable sexual experience.

In the case of the woman, her physical composition has been specifically built to lubricate itself, so that in many cases, the need for a sex lubricant is done away with. No couple should consider this natural lubrication to be a given though. In several instances, lubricants become quite essential, if only to make sex even more enjoyable, and at the same time, to provide a sense of adventure to an otherwise normal act.

Lubricants are also ideal to reduce friction during intercourse, enhancing the sexual pleasure that each partner feels. Aside from that, using lubricants eliminates the chances of damage taking place in the genital tissues which are obviously very sensitive. This is especially true in cases when a woman experiences vaginal dryness, which is actually a normal occurrence. This is basically because estrogen production  fluctuates at times, resulting to vaginal dryness. This usually happens during specific times, namely, during a woman's monthly period, during stressed-out moments and during intercourse when a condom is used without a lubricant.

Some women, meanwhile, make use of lubricants in order to increase their cervical fluid amount, and this is generally acceptable, although it must be pointed out that lubricants are not supposed to replace the natural fluid that a woman produces when sexually aroused. At most, they should merely be resorted to in order to stimulate the cervix to produce the natural fluids in significantly larger amounts so that sex becomes truly enjoyable - especially for women.

Sexual lubricants come in a wide variety of forms, with variations often centered in the areas of texture, taste, smell, and flavor. Typically, however, lubricants are commonly available in 3 distinct types  namely water-based, silicone-based, and oil-based.

If one is practicing safe sex, the general recommendation is to use either silicone-based or water-based sexual lubricants since these are both considered condom-friendly. Oil-based types are known to destroy latex, the main component of most modern-day condoms, and will not effectively work to prevent the further spread of sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV.

The choice of which lubricant type to use is really a question of preference because each one has its own share of advantages and disadvantages. For example, lubricants based on water are far more popular and comparatively cheaper. They are also easily removed from the body aside from being available in various types such as warming and flavored.

Silicon-based sexual lubricants, meanwhile, are known to be more expensive and can only be removed from the skin by means of water and soap. However, they do have the advantage of not drying up or evaporating since they do not have water ingredients, aside from the fact that the skin will not get to absorb them.

For its part, oil-based sexual lubricants are often recommended for masturbation since they usually stay longer and are quite slick. The downside of it is that the main component, petroleum, is known to destroy a wide variety of sexual contraceptives like condoms, diaphragms, sponges, cervical caps, and other devices that are latex-based. Some oil-based products are also known for producing a thick coating around the vaginal walls. Over time, this becomes difficult to remove, paving the way for the formation of genital bacteria and infections. Also annoying problems can develop in a woman who has oil based lubricants accumulate in her urethra. While not irreversible, it's not a fun condition. So despite the name, VigRX Oil is comprised of a blend of proven aphrodisiac herbs in a water based mixture.

Many sexual lubricants have been out in the market for years, with some of them ably creating a good and credible name among their patrons. Thus far, water-based types are still the most popular of lubricants, primarily because they offer no significant side effects to users, making them relatively safe to use. Recent studies, however, have centered around parabens, a known preservative utilized in a number of water-based sexual lubricants, ostensibly to prevent the possible growth of microbes and bacteria.

Using preservatives in many lubricants is an accepted practice since the potential for bacterial growth is quite great given the variety of ingredients that most lubricants carry. However, studies show that several breast tumor cases contain the parabens element, giving rise to the possibility that parabens actually contributes to breast cancer.

Another study indicates the possible link of parabens to skin aging. The preservative is known to be capable of sensitizing the skin, making it vulnerable to allergies. Eventually, the process is said to adversely affect the skin, by inhibiting the creation of new cells which can accelerate the process of aging.

These studies are still considered by many to be somewhat inconclusive as they only involved a fairly small segment of the affected population. Thus, for the most part, water-based sexual lubricants are still user-friendly, even with the presence of parabens. Nevertheless, just to be on the safe side, it is always best to settle for lubricants that contain natural ingredients like herbal plant extracts.  VigRX Oil is one such product and also happens to be water-based.

Some people may not find VigRX Oil to be strictly a sexual lubricant. Yet, considering the fact that it is generally used prior to intercourse and is intended to enhance the pleasures that accompany the sexual act, there is little doubt that VigRX Oil is indeed an excellent lubricant. Of course, the big difference between VigRX Oil and most other lubricants is that the former is principally marketed for the male population. Definitely, this is one innovation that will go a long way in advancing the cause of sexual intimacy.
