Lube often gets overlooked in conversations about intimacy, but it’s a game-changer for enhancing
pleasure and comfort. Unfortunately, myths and misconceptions about lube can hold people back
from discovering its many benefits. Let’s debunk six common myths and show you why lube
deserves a place in your bedroom routine.
Myth #1: “I don’t need lube if I’m aroused.”
WRONG.
Even if you’re incredibly aroused, lube can take your experience to another level. It reduces
friction, prevents discomfort, and adds an extra layer of enjoyment to your intimate moments.
What’s more, using lube can lead to greater pleasure, stronger orgasms, and even protect against
minor injuries. Think of it as the ultimate enhancement for your pleasure.
Myth #2: “Lube is strictly for the genitals.”
WRONG.
Lube isn’t just for one part of the body—it’s wonderfully versatile. Many lubes, especially those
with body-safe or natural ingredients, can double as full-body massage oils or be used as flavoured
fun for intimate areas like the nipples. Whether you’re spicing up foreplay or indulging in a sensual
massage, lube opens up a world of possibilities.
Myth #3: “I only need to apply lube at the start of sex.”
WRONG.
Lube isn’t a one-and-done product. Reapplying it throughout sex can significantly enhance
sensations, keep everything comfortable, and elevate the pleasure for both partners. Don’t be shy
about adding more as you go—it’s all part of the fun.
Myth #4: “I don’t need lube if I’m in the shower or bath.”
WRONG.
Water might seem like a natural lubricant, but it actually washes away your body’s natural
lubrication. Whether you’re in the shower, bath, or even a hot tub, a high-quality silicone-based
lube is a must. Silicone lubes stay slick in water, making them ideal for aquatic adventures.
Myth #5: “Lube is for older people.”
WRONG.
Lube is for everyone, no matter your age or gender. Studies have shown that incorporating lube into
your intimate moments can make you 50% more likely to orgasm. Why miss out on something
that can make your experience smoother, more pleasurable, and more satisfying?
Myth #6: “She shouldn’t need lube if I’m turning her on.”
WRONG.
Levels of vaginal lubrication fluctuate for various reasons, including hormones, stress, medication,
and hydration. These factors are completely natural and have nothing to do with arousal or your
performance. Lube isn’t a replacement for arousal—it’s an enhancement that can make every
intimate moment more enjoyable for both partners.
Lube is an unsung hero of intimacy. It’s not just for “when you need it”; it’s for when you want to
make things better, smoother, and more pleasurable. Don’t let outdated myths hold you back from
experiencing all the benefits. Whether you’re new to lube or already a fan, experimenting with
different types and applications can truly transform your intimate experiences. So grab the lube and
get ready to enjoy the difference!
