In “The Last Tango in Paris”, they used butter. In one of the “American Pie” movies, the horny teen accidentally used quick drying glue. What did they have in common? They were looking for a smooooooth ride with lube. There’s no better sex than “wet sex”. Dry is no good at all. A lot of women simply do not produce enough natural lubrication to make things a smooth ride shall we say. Getting older in the post menopausal years also creates a decrease for most in their lubrication.
There are so many different lubes out there, all with their own pros and cons, all you can do is try a variety and decide what works best for you.
I have tried a few different ones myself, with varying degrees of success. The silicone ones I do not care for, they leave a hard to remove coating on your skin. The thinner ones have an oily like consistency I don’t care for either. I tried the KY warming one in a sample I was mailed and didn’t care for it, it was a slightly warming feeling, but the oily consistency didn’t prove a smooth ride. The thicker, gel like regular KY feels the best to me.
I like the good old, cheap as it comes regular KY, which is good at first, but as it’s water based, and your skin quickly absorbs the water in it, you’re left with a gummy paste. I hate to say it, but the best thing to keep that gumminess down is a bit of saliva. Not the most charming answer, but, it does thin it out. I don’t think many of us have squirt bottle of water bedside to spray ourselves down with to thin down the lube as it gets gummy, but we do have spit readily available and many use it, believe me.
There are also flavored lubes, made for oral sex to make it more enjoyable and tastier. You just have to decide and experiment for yourself and decide what feels best and has longer lasting effects for you. There are so many to choose from in a wide range of prices.
