Why is it recommended to use a lubricant during sex?

The use of lubricant is recommended for women and couples who want to make their sex life a little more harmonious.

Lubricant not only has a lubricating effect, it can also be used to eliminate the discomfort of first time sex or sex after a long interval, and at the same time it can add some fun to your sex life.

Lubricant relieves vaginal dryness

One of the most basic functions of lubricant is to relieve vaginal dryness and pain during sex, making sex more enjoyable.

Applying an appropriate amount of lubricant to a woman's genitals during sex can increase lubrication during sex, reduce friction, make sex more comfortable, reduce pain for both men and women, and make sex more pleasant.

Some women in normal couples have a lack of vaginal lubrication.

This is because the woman is not sexually aroused enough to produce glandular fluid.

Men should respect women's feelings. If a woman's vagina is producing fluids and is dry, the man should not force himself in.

And older women often resist sex because of pain.

This is because the incidence of geriatric vaginitis can be as high as 30 to 50 per cent in older women and occurs mainly in postmenopausal women.

Elderly vaginitis patients with thin vaginal lining, vaginal elastic tissue is reduced, if a little careless sex can damage the vaginal lining and blood vessels, so that bacteria take the opportunity to invade.

In addition, the sexual function of menopausal women can be affected, such as the decline in oestrogen levels and hypogonadism, which can lead to degeneration of the reproductive organs, in particular atrophy of the female vulva, poor vaginal elasticity and lubrication, and reduced and delayed secretions.

In these stages, if sexual intercourse is to take place, it is recommended to use a lubricant.

Lubricants can spice up your sex life

If you or your partner has a dry vagina, using a lubricant can make intercourse smoother.

But some lubricants can do more than that.

Using a lubricant that has special properties during sex can not only reduce friction between the vagina and penis, but can also help to spice up your sex life.

For example, a fruity-flavoured lubricant will appeal more to women's innate love of scent, and adding scent to sex can stimulate the sense of smell on both sides.

There are also lubricants with hot, cool and even numbing effect, can help sex bring new experience of stimulation, instant ignition of passion.
