As pragmatic men, we like to keep things simple. What you see is what you get, and we say what we mean. And though we strive to be self-sufficient, we sometimes overlook the obvious. For instance, if the only lubricant you own is in your car garage, you’re missing out on better sex, both for you and your partner.

But I’m not advocating applying motor oil to the genitalia, of course. When it comes to sex, there are four basic types on the market: oil-based, water-based, petroleum and silicone. Choose carefully.

For instance, an oil-based lube can weaken a latex condom, and we don’t want any accidents, so go for water-based if your Jimmie is wrapped. Silicone lube won’t compromise your condom, either, but it can deteriorate silicone sex toys. Perhaps the least desirable is the petroleum-based variety, which is more difficult to wash off, resulting in increased chances of bacterial infection.

If you can’t decide, it’s always a safe bet to stick with water-based lubricant in the bedroom. Whichever one is right for you, here’s our top 10 reasons for keeping sexual lubricant within reach anywhere you may become intimate:

1. It’s ideal for masturbation.

Yes, even when you have to rely on your own hand or a sex toy, you should be using some form of lubricant. A lot of guys use lotion, but I go straight for real, gential-safe lube that’s actually meant to go there. Not to mention it typically lasts longer, and simply feels better in my opinion.

2. It will make her feel at ease.

Whether your romantic moment was preceded by a bottle or two of vino, or she’s been under a lot of stress, her body may not always be in a ready-state when it comes to producing her natural lubricating fluids. In fact, this fluid level can fluctuate throughout her monthly cycle. Medications, including The Pill, can also cause dryness. It’s nobody’s fault. It just happens, so don’t feel insulted or inadequate if she asks whether you’ve got some lube. It doesn’t mean she’s not turned on by you. You should have some lube handy, and be enthusiastic about using it. It’s not just for anal, guys.

3. It’s essential for anal sex.

If you’re fortunate enough to have a lady who’s down with backdoor action, give her a break and be kind enough to use lube. The key to great anal sex is to use tons of lube and reapply often, since the backdoor doesn’t produce natural lubrication like the vagina does. The more comfortable she is, the more likely she’ll be to actually enjoy it—and we always want her to enjoy it, right gentlemen?

4. It’s safer.

By reducing friction, you’re mitigating the risk of pain and injuries. Even if you’re using a condom that started out lubricated, those things dry out. Don’t be afraid to add some more lube into the mix. Not only will the condom be less likely to break, you and your lover will have a much smoother ride.

5. It can make you last longer.

Now I’ve got your attention? Figures. Well, it’s true. Think about it. By easing the friction, you’re staving off premature ejaculation that can occur from too much stimulation of the penis. You might even enjoy the new sensations you feel while slippin’ and slidin’. And if you’re one of those guys who complains that condoms kill the feeling during sex, try a drop or two on the inside of it.

6. It’s great for foreplay!

By now we should all know that foreplay is where it’s at. And the longer that lasts, the better an overall sexual experience tends to be. So don’t be afraid to drip some on each other before physically stimulating one another’s organs. Hell, you can even set the mood by using lube as a massage oil. Have fun with it!

7. It can make blowjobs better.

No guy ever complained about a blowjob. It’s kinda like how there’s really no such thing as bad pizza. But just as factors beyond your control can cause her dryness down there, she may experience dryness in her mouth, too. In such cases, let me suggest a flavored lubricant. It may also help avoid fatiguing her jaw.

8. It’s fast and easy to use.

Assuming that you now have the sense to keep lube handy in the bedroom, you’re not going to ruin the moment the way putting on a condom often can. Just squeeze, apply, and let the fun begin!

9. It can help prevent infections.

When we reduce the friction, we’re actually keeping temperatures from getting too hot down there. Heat promotes bacterial growth, after all, so do yourselves both a favor, and refrain from letting things get too heated for extended periods of time.

10. It makes it easier for her to climax.

And that’s something we’re all interested in, right? If you want to know you’re doing a good job, try some lube. What many of us don’t realize is that, dry or not, sex can be painful for some women. You want her to be as comfortable as possible. When you achieve that, she’s going to have a better time. Lube simply makes sex more pleasurable, and you shouldn’t need a better reason than that.

In conclusion, you can never, EVER, have enough lube. Keep some everywhere—in your drawers, under your mattress, on your keychain —EVERYWHERE. Stop settling for awesome sex. Start having ridiculously awesome sex, instead.

Why are you still reading this? Seriously, get yourself some lubricant right now.

Sex and cannabis, two pleasurable pastimes that go together like peas and carrots. That may be obvious, but public perception has come a long way on these taboo topics. Relentless research and activism have proven that they are safe, reliable sources of improved health and happiness.

With the legalization of recreational cannabis, more awareness is being shed on the medical benefits of CBD-based products. In short, CBD, or cannabidiol, is the non-psychoactive compound of the cannabis plant. Unlike THC, CBD will not get you ‘high’. It is used to treat PTSD, anxiety, seizure disorders in animals, among many other symptoms. Dubbed ‘nature’s Advil,’ it naturally manages these symptoms while improving our mood. CBD is also working serious magic to enhance sexual intimacy, pain relief, and communication. These CBD products are perfect for intimacy—keeping your head clear and your body buzzing.

Massage Oils & Personal Lubricants

CBD-infused coconut oil is what sparked my interest in non-psychoactive cannabis. I used it as vaginal lubrication first, and then a topical oil for anal relaxation. Those who experience pain with penetration, clinically known as vaginismus, turn to CBD-infused lubricants for vaginal tension relief. When used vaginally, you may notice a subtle calming effect on the entire nervous system; hypersensitive but not overstimulated. By waking up the nerves, CBD lubrication and topical oils promote blood circulation, sexual response, and gets your juices flowing naturally. If you’re new to lube in general, I’d recommend starting with a natural water-based lubricant like Slippery Kitty, then graduate to a CBD-infused lube, GoLove CBD Intimate Serum.

Pair with: A ribbed, hand-blown glass dildo and slow internal strokes, and add a few drops of CBD oil to your sensual massage.

Bath Treats

Next level self care! CBD-infused bath bombs and soaking salts are great for beginners looking to dip a toe into psychoactive-free fun. It provides the medicinal effects of a good cannabis strain without being intoxicating. Full-body benefits include inflammation & pain relief, moisturized skin, and detoxification. CBD is amazing for melting away menstrual cramps, whether applied topically or used in a bathtub.

Pair with: A waterproof vibrator to tease the clitoris and nipples as long as you can hold out, and a satin robe for afterwards.

Edibles

Willy Wonka himself would be envious of the edibles on the market. Options include chocolates, suckers, taffy, gummies and more. (With a little research and a good CBD oil, you can also get creative in the kitchen.) Edible-induced relaxation reduces anxiety, and calms communication fears. If your to-do list races through your head during intimacy, an edible will help the mind focus on physical sensations. Schedule a sensory play date night, and try an edible for dessert. Pick out your sex toys in advance, and slowly move from one erogenous zone to the next.

Pair with: A set of vibrating nipple clamps, a multi-purpose vibrating massager, and a feather tickler.

As you experiment, remember the following: Start small. Take microdoses as you go, and check in on your physical response regularly. Pleasure awaits!

The pursuit to higher pleasure is a journey, and the benefits make the journey well worth it. Keep these things in mind, and enjoy the ride.
