Forked Tongue X-treme Vibrating Pleasure Ring - Purple Sex Lube - The Complete guide
What is Lube? What is Lubricant?
When most ask this question, they are referring to commercially-available, liquid “personal lubricants” used during sexual activity.
Whew, sexual lovin’ is tons of fun… especially the part where you and your spouse’s sexually-charged bodies are bumpin’ and grindin’ into each other. The problem is lots of rubbin’ creates friction, which can irritate skin all over the body. It can also cause a great deal of discomfort or pain.
Lube is here to save the day! Lube is applied to the vagina, vulva, penis, condom, hand, anus, sex toy, or anywhere else you may want it… to make it wetter and more slippery for sexual movements.
This may be the most comprehensive guide to sexual lubricants that you have ever read.
Grab a tasty beverage, get comfy, and let’s get to it!
Natural Lubricants Produced by the Body
Natural Vaginal Lubricants. During sexual arousal, the female body naturally produces a variety of fluids to help with lubrication during intercourse and sexual activity. God designed the body for the penis and vagina to fit and work well with each other! He also designed the body to help that process work.
Saliva / Spit! This shouldn’t require a lengthy explanation… sometimes a little spit on the fingers, penis, or vagina is all that is need to get everything sliding.
Menstruation Blood. The blood produced during a woman’s menstrual cycle can be used as a natural sexual lubricant. Many men and women do not prefer to have sex during a woman’s menstrual cycle. Others find it particularly appealing.
- Be Aware. Sex may have stronger odors or be messy. So, you may want to enjoy it in the shower, use a condom, or have more towels handy. There are also increased risks of sexually transmitted infections.
- Benefits. Some women report benefits of relief from menstrual cramp, shorter periods, reduced headaches, and even more enjoyable sex!
Interestingly, there are multiple references in the Old Testament (Leviticus 15) to sex during menstruation being “unclean”. However, Christians today are not bound to Old Testament “ceremonial Law”, so there is no “Biblical reason” to abstain from it. Some doctors
Why Use Lube?
It usually makes sex better for both of you! This is the short reason! It decreases friction and helps make everything more slippery, which makes sex physically, mentally, and emotionally better.
Everybody’s body is different! Sometimes a woman may not produce enough lubricant. Her vaginal canal may be more narrow or “tight”, which is often the case for virgins and women with no to little sexual history (awesome!). Also, his penis may be particularly large or have a non-standard shape or curve.
Vaginal Dryness & Pain. Vaginal dryness can make sexual activity and enjoyment incredibly difficult. It occurs for a variety of reasons, most of which are beyond a woman’s control:
- Stress, anxiety, and state of mind or heart.
- Decreased estrogen levels during menopause.
- Breastfeeding can increase vaginal dryness.
- Effects of prescription drugs, chemotherapy or other medical treatments.
Masturbation in Marriage. We believe masturbation is not appropriate for for single people. It has a unique and limited role in the context of marriage. In those limited circumstances or situations in marriage, lubricant may be needed. One day, we will write a much longer exploration of this topic.
Anal Sex. This article will NOT delve into the theological debate about whether or not anal sex is appropriate for married Christians. We will explore that discussion another day. Regardless, lubricant is necessary for anal sex because the anus does not produce any natural lubricants. Without lube, anal sex can be excruciatingly painful and may cause physical injury.
