“No glove, no love”

A saying I am sure we have heard as early as the 6th grade if your parents or health teacher were “cool” while having the birds and the bees talk. For those of us who didn’t have cool parents (myself included), the saying essentially means to always make sure a condom is involved in sex. I know, I know. Thank you Captain Obvious!

But in a world of so many other forms of contraceptives and ways to protect ourselves from unplanned pregnancies, STIs, etc. there is more elbow room to go bareback (if you’re into that sort of thing!) Condom or not, there is one thing that should always be evergreen when it comes to sex: lube!

Perhaps it may be time to update the saying to, “ no lube, no love”? No rhyming scheme, but you still get the fun wordplay with the alliteration. Regardless, life is rough enough, our sex lives shouldn’t be. That is where lube comes in!

Personal lubricants often take center stage in the realm of sexual wellness, yet discussions surrounding lube seem to be taboo. In fact, lube wasn’t even available without a prescription until the 1980s! Many think kink when it comes to lubricants, but even with a kinky connotation, we never kink shame here at Popstar.

Understanding and embracing the role of lubricants can vastly improve sexual experiences whether it's with others or solo dolo. Whether you’re looking to spice things up in the bedroom or enhance comfort in intimate moments, Popstar is back with the tips (and so much more than just the tip) on how to stay slick in the sack!

Much like anything regarding sex, selecting the right lube depends on individual preferences. Sensitivities and intended use also come into play. Consider the who, what, when, where, and why of your sexcapades. Particular needs of those involved, location, if condoms and sex toys are in play, and avoiding stains on your Egyptian cotton sheets, will all play a role in deciding which lubricant is best for you. Lube can also take some trial and error. It may take some experimentation to find the perfect lube that enhances pleasure and comfort during intimate moments.
