Sore Male Organ? An “Alternative” Lubricant May Be to Blame
by John Dugan OwnerMen who are sensually active, whether with other partners or with
their own hands, know that using lubricant is one way to help avoid a sore male
organ. Proper male organ care enables a man to keep his sensual equipment in
good shape and therefore to make use of it more frequently – something that is
difficult to do when a sore male organ strikes. But will any old lubricant do
when having sensual activity? What about an alternative lubricant, something
that isn’t marketed specifically for that purpose?
The answer is: it depends on just what alternative one is using.
Lubricants
In general, there are three kinds of lubricant that are created
specifically for sensual encounters: water-based, oil-based and silicone. There
are pros and cons with each type, as shall be discussed later – but first we
will look at some alternative lubricants that men often use.
- Saliva. Most frequently used when
self-stimulating and much more rarely used during coupling, saliva is a “better
than nothing” option – but pretty much a last resort. Spitting into or licking
the palm of the hand does provide some temporary “slickness” which can be
beneficial. But it doesn’t last very long at all, making constant reapplication
a necessity. Prolonged use of saliva by itself may result in a sore male organ.
- Hand lotion. Though not designed for sensual
use, hand lotions have an oil-water mix which make them a decent choice – but
sensitive skin may react negatively to them. Also, some lotions have tiny
pieces of grit in them which can cause irritation. And scented lotions have
chemicals which can irritate delicate manhood skin.
- Shampoo. Better than spit, many shampoos have a
viscosity that make them effective, especially for self-pleasuring. But they
can dry out the skin and may also have scents which can cause irritation.
- Toothpaste. Although some men have used
toothpaste, it should be avoided, both for coupling and self-pleasuring. Many
brands contain chemicals which cause stinging and burning.
- Sunscreen and tanning lotion. Also not
recommended. Although they tend to be mineral oil based and are for use on skin,
the delicacy of male organ and female organ skin may react with a burning
sensation.
- Petroleum jelly. Generally a good bet for
self-pleasuring, although its thick “gloppiness” may lead to overapplication.
Some female organs experience an irritation, and it can erode latex
protections, so avoid using for coupling.
Using lubricants designed for sensual activity is a much better
idea – although even here, it’s important to know which kind to choose.
Water-based lubricants are safe to use with latex protections and have the
added benefit of not staining. They do require frequent reapplication, however.
Oil-based lubricants last much longer, but can destroy latex protections and
make a mess of fabrics. Silicone lubricants tend to last a very long time and
are safe to use with latex protections. However, they can’t be used with
silicon sensual toys and sometimes they require extensive washing to remove
from the member after use. They also tend to be more expensive.
Men may find that they need to experiment with different
lubricants to find the one that is best for them. If using alternative
lubricants, they need to understand that there may be significant drawbacks in
terms of effectiveness and safety.
Not every man needs to use a lubricant to avoid a sore male organ,
but when they do experience a sore male organ due to overuse or misuse, often
the application of a first class male organ health creme (health
professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe
for skin) can come in handy. The sore male organ needs to be massaged
with moisturizing agents, so a crème that is rich in high end emollients (such
as shea butter) and natural hydrators (such as vitamin E) is just the ticket.
Also important in a crème is the presence of alpha lipoic acid. By helping to
eliminate free radicals, this powerful antioxidant strengthens the skin by
fighting oxidative stress.
