Lubricants to Make Sex Extra-Wet & Wild

Everybody’s body is different, and needing a little extra help to get things going downstairs often has nothing to do with you or the other person, and yet, lubricants and sex stimulants have gotten a bad rap over the years as ‘uncool’ and ‘unnecessary. These narratives are stopping everyone from having better, wetter sex, so why keep believing them? In this article, we’ll talk about all the fun ways lubricants and enhancers can make all kinds of sex more exciting (masturbation, penetrative vaginal and anal, and oral), as well as some of Sexyland’s favourite types of lubricants to spice up the fun!

How do lubricants make sex better?

Lubricants can enhance pleasure by alleviating any discomfort or pain you might feel due to a lack of moisture during sex, replacing dry friction with a smooth glide that helps you move back and forth over your body. This is especially important for the skin and other tissues in intimate areas like the genitals as they can be sensitive and prone to microtearing if they experience too much friction, which can provide entry points for germs to enter the body and make you more susceptible to infections. In addition to reducing the risk of injury during sex, if you’re using condoms, lubricants make it less likely that the condom will break or fall off, increasing your protection against STIs and making sex safer.

There are also many different types of lubricant that offer a variety of sensations during sex to keep things interesting, like flavoured options to sweeten the deal when going down on someone, and temperature-changing options like cooling or warming lubricants—these add a whole new layer of stimulation to your fun, turning up the thrills and ensuring the fun always feels fresh!

What do sex stimulants & enhancers do?

Sexual enhancers can do a variety of things for singles and couples, but in most cases, they will have some effect on how sensitive your body is to sensation, which can have different outcomes depending on what you’re hoping to get out of using a sexual stimulant. The most common types of sex stimulants are:

• those that boost sensitivity to heighten sensation and arousal, increase self-lubrication, boost orgasm frequency and intensity. Some of them even bring on their own sensations, like tingling, warming, or a vibration-like effect that some brands dub ‘liquid vibrators’! The most unique sensation out there in our opinion are the oral sex popping candy enhancers that can be used by and on people of all genders, stimulating your intimate pleasure zones with erotic fizzing sensations, just like popping candy!

• those that decrease sensitivity, which can be for the purposes of decreasing discomfort or delaying orgasm to prolong the fun either way. Some of these contain numbing ingredients like benzocaine and lidocaine, which are not recommended for daily use and can potentially trigger allergic reactions in people who are sensitive to anaesthetics, so always be sure to check the ingredients list and follow all usage directions.

Are clitoral stimulants safe to use for everyone?

In general, clitoral stimulant gels and oils are safe when used as directed, but they may not be suitable for people who have sensitive skin, allergies, other health conditions, or are taking medications that might interact with the ingredients in the clitoral stimulant. Always read the ingredients, follow the usage instructions, and consult a medical professional if you’re not sure. You can also do a patch test on a small area of skin like the back of your hand or inside your elbow to check for side effects or adverse reactions before applying the gel to a more intimate area.

Can lubricants & sex stimulants improve solo play as well as partnered sex?

You bet! There’s no such thing as a ‘typical’ lube user—it can (and should) be used by everyone, regardless of gender, age, or sexuality, and can also be used during masturbation for super-smooth solo sessions. The same goes for sexual enhancers; you deserve to feel just as much pleasure when you’re taking care of business on your own as you do when you’re throwing down with someone else.
