level so there is no risk of getting burned. Midnite Fire is a water-based lubricant that is safe for application both internally and externally. Although it is billed as The Hot Sensual Massage Lotion, it's really too thick to be used for a straight massage without adding water or another clear water-based lubricant. It feels especially erotic when applied to the nipples, inner thighs, the head of the penis, and the testicles.
THE BODY SHOP PEPPERMINT FOOT LOTION.
This one was a pleasant surprise, discovered by one of our more creative researchers. The mint allows for a cool feeling in combination with a tingly warmth created by repeated stroking. This is an oil-based product, however, which must be washed off completely before applying a latex condom. This one may also stain the sheets because it has oil in it. Start sparingly as too much may make him momentarily numb.
FAVORITE LUBRICANTS FOR ORAL SEX
At the risk of being annoying, I must again warn you to avoid, at all costs, using any lubricant containing the spermicidal Nonoxynol-9 during oral sex. This ingredient not only tastes awful, it will have a slight numbing effect on your mouth.
ASTROGLIDE . Once again, Astroglide leads the pack because of its natural feel (light, odorless, tasteless) and how easy it makes it to do the techniques.
SENSURA/SEX GREASE . Much like Astroglide, this is a favorite because of how it eases friction and heightens the manipulations while maintaining a natural feel. Some women say they detect a slight chemical taste in this product, but others don't taste anything at all.
K-Y LIQUID . Field researchers rated this the same as Astroglide. Similar in taste and texture.
Secret from Lou's Archive
Both Astroglide and Sensura/Sex Grease are favorites for use during The Italian Method of condom application. Just be sure there is no excess lube on the shaft when applying it or the condom is likely to roll right back up or slip off.
NIIDNITE FIRE . For those who like the sensation of taste during oral sex, Midnite Fire is a favorite because it comes in six different mouthwatering flavors— Cinnamon, Irish Cream, Strawberry, Cherry, Piña Colada, and Passion Fruit. Unlike other tested brands of lubricant, these flavors are not so sweet as to leave you nauseated.
CHOCOLATE IN A JAR -Likklt and Luvlt. Technically, this isn't a lube at all, but nonetheless, the researchers who liked it were absolutely crazy about this product so I thought it should be included. This is premium quality Belgian chocolate in six luscious flavors: chocolate almond, chocolate extreme, white chocolate, chocolate supreme, chocolate raspberry, and chocolate mocha. Spread this delicately over each others' bodies and lick it off. The only downside to this product is that it needs to be refrigerated between uses, which requires a few seconds in the microwave before lubricating with it so it isn't too cold. Still, the taste and texture are divine. It is not for the calorie-conscious, however, nor is it to be used with latex condoms because of the butterfat (an oil) contained in the chocolate.
FAVORITE LUBRICANTS FOR INTERCOURSE
SENSURA/SEX GREASE . This one beat out Astroglide for use during intercourse because of its slightly thicker, velvety texture. All the researchers agreed that there is something heavenly about making love with the help of Sensura/Sex Grease.
ASTROGLIDE . What can I say? For anyone who wants the benefit of extra comfort during intercourse, but doesn't want to feel anything even the slightest bit unnatural, Astroglide is the lubricant of choice.
FAVORITE LUBRICANTS FOR SEX TOYS
When applying lubricant for the purpose of comfort when using sex toys, I recommend sticking to those that are water based, clear, and fragrance-free. Some of the newer plastic and silicone compounds of which the toys are made tend to break down over time when exposed to oil. And anytime you use a product that has dye or fragrance in it, you run the risk (even if only a slight one) of
