How To Apply Lube And What To Avoid By Eva

How To Apply Lube Properly For Pleasure

According to sexpert Eva Bloom, lube is a necessity for pleasurable and hot sex. However, there’s certain ways to go about applying lube properly in order to ensure the best experience for everyone. It’s best not to assume you don’t need it, as lube has the potential to make penis-in-vagina sex that much hotter. Relying solely on natural vaginal lubrication may not be enough. Lube is also something you shouldn’t be ashamed of; as it doesn’t mean you’re not attracted to your partner or not aroused, it’s used to amplify the moment with some extra wetness.

When selecting your lube, always check the ingredients to make sure you’re compatible with what you’re about to use on your genitals. Is water-based lubricant safe? Yes, it’s the most versatile lube which is compatible with latex. Is oil-based lubricant safe? Yes, but only for masturbation or certain foreplay – oil-based lubes can disintegrate condoms so don’t use the two together. Is silicone-based lubricant safe? Yes, if you want the moment to last longer – but it’s not compatible with many sex toys. Consult Durex Canada’s Lube Comparison Chart for more.

Unsure how to apply lube? Eva Bloom recommends starting with a nickel sized amount but, for anal sex, more is more so add a generous amount to help increase the comfort and pleasure. To know how to apply lube for penis-in-vagina sex, use lube on both the penis and vagina to increase the slickness (and don’t leave out the clit)! Nothing feels better than knowing how to apply lube for all the right reasons.
