Petroleum-based and oil-based are the most common lubricants. These however, are best for sexual play without condoms as they can destroy latex. Some women are allergic to petroleum or certain oils and may experience irritation upon use.

For this reason, other types of lubes were created. Water-based lubricants are safer for all skin types and latex condoms. They also do not stain fabric or furniture, as petroleum and oils can. They can be flavored or not, and taste mildly sweet. Silicone-based lubricants are as versatile as water-based lubes but they have many advantages: these lubes are waterproof and last longer than other types of lubes.

This opens a new world of fun for the couple. Each of these lubricants are great for different purposes. Silicone-based lubes are more expensive but can hold up with those long nights in bed. Petroleum is not recommended for use with condoms, but this type of lube is the most comfortable for anal play. Water-based lubes are cheaper, easiest to clean, and work best with sex toys.

Lubricants and lotions offer many exciting new perks. Certain creams can excite the sex organs, such as the China Brush Spray, which is simply sprayed onto the head of the penis before intercourse. The Like a Virgin Tighten Up Kit and the China Shrink Cream both tighten the vaginal walls, increasing sexual pleasure for both partners.

The Hooch Massage lotions come in a variety of different flavors and comes warm out of the bottle. Many lotions can make anal play easier and more comfortable for the receiver. Creams like Anal Eaze actually desensitize the area prior to intercourse, but the man should use a condom when using this cream to prevent him from also becoming desensitized. Many lotions will increase the pleasure power of the clitoris. Just a small drop of these lotions will go a long way.
