You think you got it covered, why you need it, and our personal favorite-- Jennifer: We don't want to miss your favorite. Dan: No, you will be surprised. Okay, so today, on Ask Dan and Jennifer, with us we must say that, the big question, lubes, sexual lubricant, why, why do you need it? Jennifer: Do you? Dan: Do you, or this is perhaps, this is your choice of sexual lubricant, I mean, kind of like this on bread, but hey, whatever, this, that, -- we may need to take a break. Okay, or saliva, if applied by the right person, it could work. So, why you need it, and how serious is this? Jennifer: Would you like to continue? Dan: No, no, I was just introducing you dear. That's what I do. Jennifer: Look, okay, water is not lubes, that's not lube, right, lotion is not lube, it could be under certain circumstances. Dan: How about olive oil, the extra virgin? Jennifer: Extra virgin olive oil. Dan: Never even being in case, extra virgin. Jennifer': Okay, so let's talk about it. Okay, so today, we are going to talk about what makes a good lube, what doesn't, what's out there, what do you use for what because there are all of different kinds, right. Dan: But I am not going to tell you guys my favorite one yet, it's in the back right here, not going to tell you what made it is. Jennifer: Do you mean, it's like a secret. Dan: No, no, it's off camera. Jennifer: Okay, types of lubes, I get to do all the technical stuff. Dan gets to be comic relief but I don't know why. Dan: Yes, they are. Jennifer: Okay, water based lubes, okay, most common, the ones that you can use for everything, why are they so critical? Obviously, it dissolves in water. Okay, there is no weird messy clean up, it doesn't stain anything. Dan: Won't break down your condoms, very, very important function. Jennifer: Yeah, we will talk about that little bit more in a second too but -- basically, they are glycerin or cellulose. Now if you have allergy to those things, you may not be able to use the water based lubes, but in general, those were the best ones. Dan: Yeah, that's kind of what my favorite lubes, and I am not telling you which one is my favorite. Jennifer: Oh, and by the way, none of these three things which -- this is olive oil, this is Cetaphil lotion and this is massage oil, none of those fall into the category of water based lubes. Dan: Now, and there are certain -- now, this is only the grade at what they do, right. Jennifer: These are what you consider oil-based lubes, they all have oil in them. Dan: And this one is great, dipping low bread, low, low -- Jennifer: So what's wrong with oil. Well, if you are a guy and you are masturbating, nothing. If you are a girl and masturbating, I like. Dan: How do you wash that off? You are like -- Jennifer: You don't, and oil grows bacteria. So if a girl has any issues, whatsoever, she is going to get herself into trouble. Girls should never -- for masturbating with toys or anything like that, don't use oil based lubes. Dan: I think a lot people just use oil or hand lotion, whatever, just as they got it there, and that's why they all used that. So to prevent the irritation, I use that because I got it. But literally, sexual lubricants are so cheap and they are much better for what they do. Jennifer: For the intended purpose. Dan: Yeah. Jennifer: Yeah, and people who are like they don't need any lube? She is plenty wet. What would you say to that? Dan: I think that it's a bad idea. You are going to cause chasing and -- Jennifer: Chasing? Dan: Whatever, and you will be more pleasurable, okay. Get a little lube and try it. It's one of those things I would never done it that way, they were introduced this way for 93 years. Jennifer: It's not a thing that we have to do every time, but for extended play, it's a big thing, big plus. Dan: Yeah, some guys like -- I am careless on there, I don't need that, no lubes. Jennifer: But what about her? Dan; Yeah, exactly, are you serious at that? Jennifer: I like -- Dan: Lubricate well, it's a very good thing. You also don't want to be tearing your condom, okay, that's a very big concern. Jennifer: Oil based lubes -- that's right. You know that that oil breaks down latex. So if you are using an oil based lube in your condom, you may as well not wear one. Dan: Yeah, if you want that -- a few people actually use their condom and -- they are like cool, I am covered, but you don't use -- if you don't use any lubricant at all, it may tear up because of too much friction, which is bad. You use something you got handy, like oil, grab the oil, it may break down your condom, a bad idea. Buy some cheap water based lubricant. Jennifer: They come in all shapes and sizes, we will get to that in a minute. Dan: Including my favorite, that's off camera right now. Jennifer: One of the really common types that we haven't talked about, that's not new, but newer than water based lubes; it's silicon. Dan: Oh, yes. Jennifer: Why would you use a silicon based lube? Dan: We shared about that back in the day? Jennifer: Right. Dan: What would you use silicon? Jennifer: If you have a glycerin allergy, right. They are latex free, paraffin free, right. So if you have any allergies, that's a perfect time to use a silicon based lube. Dan: I think that's like so technical. I mean, I even get lost in all of that. Jennifer: I am the technical one, that's what I do. Dan: Guys you want to do it in the house, you want to do in the hot tub, underwater? Water is a very bad lubricant, and you know what, you would be surprised, you did in the hot tub, you try to -- you try to have sex in the hot tub and what you should only do in your own hot tub and whatever. The point is, if at all possible, water is a very poor lubricant. Jennifer: So much special part. Dan: Well, they are an exceptional. You typically have a -- often have assistance onsite. Jennifer: And water based lube is going to break down very quickly in a hot tub. Dan: Exactly, you would no longer be as luby. Jennifer: We will talk about that in a moment. Dan: Just imagine, a lubricant that actually stays luby, seriously, that still stays as it is, still actually works and lubricates in water. The downside, you can't get the damn thing off afterwards, I mean, you can't. Jennifer: Oh yeah, that stuff, its not water soluble, so it's like Dan: Sorry that's off camera that we can't show you like before we lubed. Jennifer: You cut it, the lube, everything you touch afterwards. Dan: I am so glad, I packed all of them in a little zip lock bag. Never mind. Jennifer: Okay, so and this is no stuff, more technical details, okay, all of these, water based, silicon, oil based lubes, all of them can get some little add on features, okay, like desensitization or extra arousal, stuff that kind of makes her, makes her more sensitive, right. Dan: Mild irritant. Jennifer: And, flavored lubes. Okay, so all of those things can be added to all of the different lubes, right. Dan: Yeah, we did a number of condom videos the other day, and we showed you guys a lot of features you can get on condoms, but like flavors and -- a lot of the condoms come coded with some of the same stuff, so. Jennifer: Yet, the arousal stuff, it's typically menthol, and when I think of that, I think icy-hot. Okay, and literally it's a very mild version, I mean, it just is -- Dan: Not your grand daddy's lubricant. Jennifer: It's suppose to increase the blood flow to your skin and stuff that -- I find them irritating. That's just me, a lot of people love them, but -- Dan: That makes the hot penis. Jennifer: But yeah, I don't like it. Dan: Anyways, yeah. Jennifer: Regardless, if you do like that, go for it, like you blow on it and it gets warm, all that kind of stuff. This is all fun to play with. Dan: And the desensitization one, the one that get -- oh, I am sorry, that was an accident. Jennifer: Yeah, that okay, you think you have gone through that, but
