What Every Man Needs to Know about Lubrication
Let’s
be honest: Sometimes, a guy just wants to get it on. It doesn’t matter if the
situation has enough lubrication involved. Two adventurous souls might choose
to get down and dirty without any lubrication at all, or a guy might take
matters into his own hand and keep things dry until the very end. But while
that lack of lubrication might indicate something hot and spontaneous, the
truth is that going without adequate lubrication runs contrary to everything a
guy ever learns about good manhood
care.
However, there are times when additional lubrication can be
problematic, such as when a guy is dealing with an allergic reaction to an
ingredient in the lube, or when the only lube on hand is one that doesn’t work
well with latex barrier protections. Here’s how to handle those situations, and
much more.
If a guy can’t handle the lube…
Some lubricants have added ingredients that can lead to skin
irritation, dryness and even pain. For instance, ‘warming’ lubes often contain
ingredients that lead to a sense of warmth and heat to the skin. For some guys,
that can be just a little too much excitement for their sensitive manhood
skin.
And in other cases, even the most common lubricants might actually
trigger an allergic reaction. This often results in a rashy, red manhood that
might feel warm to the touch. Severe cases can lead to even more severe
symptoms.
The good news is that there are so many lubes out there, a guy can
experiment with quite a few until he finds one that works well for him. And
when he’s looking at using lubes with barrier protections, keep in mind that
oil-based lubes are not good for use with protections, as they will hasten the
deterioration of the latex device – and every guy knows that’s not good. Go for
water-based or silicone-based lubes instead.
Using lubrication properly
When a man is with an eager partner, he might find that her body
produces enough lubrication for both of them. But in many cases, a little extra
is necessary for the comfort of everyone involved. Therefore, a man should
always keep a good lube on hand just in case he needs it. Choose one that is
specifically designed for use on sensitive private areas.
What a man should never, ever do is turn to “lubricants” that were
never designed for that function. Grabbing for a bottle of lotion, shampoo,
conditioner or even baby oil are all frowned upon, as they can lead to serious
dryness and skin reactions that definitely take the fun out of a guy’s
escapades. And of course, no one knows for sure what these products will do to
the efficacy of a latex protection, but it’s a safe bet that the outcome might
not be good.
Finally, a guy should remember to clean up thoroughly after using
lube. Even the gentlest lubes can leave residue behind, and that can lead to
manhood itch, rash and redness. A quick wash with warm water in the sink might
be enough, but for heavy-duty lubes, a full-on shower might be necessary to get
all of it away from the skin.
In between intimacy sessions, it pays to use a
top-notch member health crème (health professionals
recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for
skin). Not only will luxurious ingredients like Shea butter and
vitamin E alleviate the dry skin that can result from using lubrication, a guy
can look for vitamins A, C, D and B5, all known for their skin-soothing
properties. And for better action, a guy can look to L-arginine, which is known
for enhancing blood flow through the manhood, leading to firmer tumescence and
a potentially better time.
