Lubricants and Condoms...

[heythere17]

I was just wondering about a few things...
Is it a good idea for the penis to be lubricated or does it depend on the size?
Also, if the guy's wearing a condom and you put lubrication on it, should it go on the outside of the condom, the inside, both, or is it a matter of preference?

Thanks for reading

Lube goes on the outside of the condom, although putting a dab inside the tip will make it feel better for him. And yes, lube is a good idea regardless of size. You won't always need it, but it makes things a lot easier: I keep a bottle in my desk drawer with my condoms. Not that it's any substitute for foreplay and relaxation, of course: it's there to provide some extra slick, not as a complete substitute for natural lubrication, but some girls don't always produce enough.

Oh, and one other thing. Don't use oil-based lube on condoms. It makes them fall apart. Use water- or silicone- based. And don't use silicone lube on silicone toys, because it bonds with them and they're really expensive.

Most condoms have lubricants already in/on them already. Just make sure you keep an eye out for them, as it will tell them right on the package. However, a penis should be lubricated since if it's not, it might become uncomfortable.

Yes, you should put lubricant on, even with lubricated ones, you'll want to have some other lube on you and add until you are comfortable. Lube makes condoms work better, so long that its'water/silicone based, because it avoids too much friction which often causes tearing.

I just lube up everything.
There is usually some on his junk before we put the condom on. Then there's the lube on the condom and then also some lube on myself. It just makes the extra effort needed to get in it a lot easier on both of us. As Acheron said, water based is typically the best.

Definitely lube is a good idea.
As others have said, it helps a lot with the friction. It generally just makes the whole thing easier and more comfortable. Also, while foreplay does help a woman produce her own natural lubrication, it's not always enough and lubricant helps a lot.

Lube is never a bad idea!! (: I wouldn't put it on the inside of the condom in case it increases the risk of it slipping off. On the outside is fine although lots of condoms have some lubrication on the outside already. It's a good idea as well to pop a little bit of lube inside you to make things easier. Just lube all you can reach.

lube is my vote.
