1. Try It For Body Rubbing

As another massage technique, with or without your hands, squirt some lube, such as Durex Play Massage 2 in 1 Guarana*, on your and your partner’s bodies (on areas like the back, stomach, chest, arms, and legs) for a glide-on-the-body ride, slip ‘n slide style. Get yourselves into position on a bed (with optional towels laid out) or a sturdy table and have one lubed up partner use their glistening form to incite pleasure by rubbing their body up and down their partner, lying flat. It’s your call whether you want face up or face down rubs. No matter the decision, you’ll be faced with some serious smoothness and anti-friction.

2. Use It For Nipple Or Breast Stimulation

Another hot tip for how to use lube (that may not come to mind at first) is to apply some to your partner’s nipple tips or breasts and fondle them with your fingers. This can cause the nipples to become more hard and perky, leading to a process of ongoing arousal. For an added bonus, generously apply lube to the breasts to induce a partner with a penis to slip it in and out of the crevice created when boobs are squished together. The boss level of “motorboating”.

4. Heighten Orgasms With This Lube Trick

If you’re looking to add a little more pleasure to your male partner before they take off into the big O, use a few droplets of lube on their perineum (the area between the scrotum and anus) to help elevate the experience. Before they orgasm, gently rub the lubricated perineum using your index or middle fingers to elicit an unhinged and perfectly wild reaction.

5. Make It Your Bestie In Solo Play

After looking at tips that include somebody else’s involvement, and lube for condoms, it’s key to remember you can use lube to masturbate and get off on your own. Forget the other lotions and prioritize the power of smooth lube. That being said, some lubes may not be compatible inside your erogenous zones. Always read and follow the product instructions before application.
