Once a month in my Best Sex Tips Ever newsletter, Dr. Brian Parker will expose the good, bad and ugly about the adult product industry. The more educated we are about adult products the more fun we can have in the bedroom.

This month Dr. Brian will expose lubricants.

Lubricant or lube is generally water-based or silicone-based, condom-friendly liquid used during self-pleasuring or other sexual acts. Lube is essential for every sexual being. It makes sex more fun and pleasurable. In case you didn’t know, slippery sex is hotter than dry, uncomfortable sex. Lube is for men, women, straight, gay, bi, and trans-identified folk. It is great for masturbation, but totally enhances vaginal, anal, and oral sex.
