If you already use lube, you know how awesome it can be. If you’re not using lube, you probably should.

Lube can enhance pretty much any sexual experience, whether solo or with a partner. The right one can take masturbation sessions to the next level, double as oil for an erotic massage, and make penetrative sex easier and more pleasurable. Flavored lubes can spice up oral sex and offset the unpleasant taste of latex condoms. For trans folks, creamy lubes can mimic the look and feel of cum, helping sex-play feel more in line with one’s gender identity. Since reduced friction can help prevent micro-tearing and irritation, lube can increase endurance for extended bone sessions. And because the anus and rectum aren’t self-lubricating body parts, it’s a must for anal play.
