Lubrication And Safer Sex
Over the last 15 years people have got used to talking and thinking about condoms. We all know how important they are for preventing HIV and other Sexually Transmitted Infections. But we don’t yet talk enough about lubrication. Which we should, because it can make condom use more effective and much more pleasurable.
Condoms and femidoms are already lubricated. They have to be for us to get them on and off. But they actually work and feel better when extra lubrication (such as KY jelly) is used. Water-based lubrication increases sensitivity when carefully put on the outside of the condom or around the vagina and anus.
But it must be water-based. Vegetable oil won’t do! (It’ll rot the condom.)
Whereas KY jelly or the lubrication that we at Eddystone provide free should make the whole experience more enjoyable. And safer.
