We had a reader ask the following question:
I’ve often seen in stores “Warming Gels” Some inexpensive KY brand. some a little more pricey. Do you have any experience with them? What about using them with Oral sex? Thanks!
Back a few years ago when my awakening began, DH and I experimented with getting my arousal level up, and one of the things we tried was “warming lubes”. We tried several different kinds, and I am trying to think back to my opinions on them.
If you go to amazon.com and search for warming lubricants, there are so many to choose from! I believe we tried Astroglide warming , Durex, KY Yours and Mine, and one other that wasn’t really a warming lubricant, but was a cream that you applied directly to the clitoris to get a “tingly” sensation for arousal purposes…for the life of me, I cannot remember what it is called, but I bought it at Walmart.
I know that my husband and I haven’t had much success with Astroglide of any kind. KY Yours and Mine was really disappointing to me. The commercials made it look like something any marriage bed couldn’t do without, but I found it kind of “meh”. It did give a tingly sensation for me, but when ours “met”, there were no fireworks. I always thought it was kind of a dud. I think the Durex was probably the one I liked the most out of the three lubes I tried, but it’s been forever since I used it.
Overall, I found, for myself, that I have really sensitive skin, so they didn’t always work as well for me as I would have liked. You do get a tingling sensation, a warming sensation that does get you “going” so to speak, but they always ended up feeling like they were burning my skin…but then again, I do have very sensitive skin there, and I could have used too much in my attempts to get aroused. I would be willing to try them again, since it has been years since I used them. In moderation, they would probably be fine since my labia seem to be the most sensitive area now a days, and not my clitoris.
So ladies, what experiences have you had with warming lubricants and gels? Which ones have you tried? Which ones did you like? Which did you not like? Please feel free to add your comments below.
