Warning: not all lubricants are compatible with latex condoms. Oil-based lubricants such as Vaseline (TM) should never be used with latex condoms, since they may reduce the effectiveness of latex condoms as a contraceptive and protection against disease like AIDS. Water-based lubricants may be used with latex condoms, but oil-based lubricants must be avoided since they weaken the latex. Polyurethane is a non-latex alternative for condoms. If the woman's vagina is at all dry, water-based lubricant should be used to reduce the abrasion on the condom.
Silicone-based sexual lubricants are incompatible with, and may cause damage to, silicone-based sex toys.
Lubricants intended for sexual purposes include:
Other substances improvised as sexual lubricants:Males and females masturbate differently. As males do not naturally lubricate, many masturbate with the aid of a masturbation lubricant. A lubricant may be used to facilitate the use of certain sex toys, or with females as part of prolonged clitoral stimulation.
