As a webcam model, you’ve probably used lube at one point or another. If not, fear not, after reading this article you will become an expert. Of course, this is a taboo topic for many people, but lubricants are a great way to make things slippery and more enjoyable for you and your partner. This is something that many girls consider a must-have item in their arsenal of webcam streaming products.And trust me, they’re not wrong! If you work in the studio, you’ve probably already discussed this topic with your colleagues 🙂 But those who chose to work at home as a web model often don’t know how important this small attribute is in their work. A common misconception is that lubes are a way to “spice things up when things get boring,” but that’s not true. Think of them as an aid, not a way to spice things up.
Talk about lube for webcam models and sexual pleasure
Before I begin, I should point out that saliva is not a substitute for lube. Lubricants for sex play a much more important role, and in this article, our studio has decided to give you a primer on everything you need to know about lube.
I’ll answer all the questions about lube: What is lube? Who should use lube? What are the different types of lube? What type of lubricant should I use? Is it safe to use lube with sex toys?
What is lubricant?
First, let’s start with the basic definition of sexual or intimate lubricant. The official scientific definition of a lubricant states that a lubricant is a substance that helps reduce friction between surfaces in mutual contact. If we talk about personal lubricants, they are substances that increase slipperiness during sexual intercourse. This act can be your use of a toy during a live broadcast on webcam sites. It can also be pleasuring your partner and yourself during foreplay, intercourse, etc.
A well-lubricated area is less prone to tearing, damage or friction burns, so most people use lube during masturbation, foreplay and various types of sex. People may use lube for a variety of reasons. Mostly, lube is used for places that do not produce natural lubrication, such as anal sex. Another everyday use of lubricant is to add lubricant where there is not enough natural lubrication being produced. Also, many people add lubricant to make certain parts of their bodies more slippery and for more pleasure.
Who should use lube?
There is no rule about who should or shouldn’t use lube. You can use lube during solo masturbation or during sexual intercourse with a partner. If for some reason your body doesn’t produce enough natural lube, it’s better to add lube than to suffer from friction and the feeling of tightness.
I can’t stress enough that there is no shame in using lubricant. Almost every girl on the planet uses it, and you should too. Even if you have a strong attraction to your partner, there are reasons why your vagina can’t produce enough natural lubrication. The obvious answer is to use lubricant. But that’s not the only case where it should be used, because even scientists agree that lube makes all kinds of intercourse more enjoyable.
I think people should abandon the stereotype that using lube is for those who are not horny. Instead, think of lube as encouraging your body and improving your sex life. Lubrication is appropriate for everyone, but you need to be careful about the type of lube you use, as there are many types of lube for different uses and situations. More on that below, but first I need to talk about the basics of this great product and when you should use it.
When to use lubricant?
Of course, the wetter the better! But lube is much more than just increasing moisture. As I said above, everyone needs lube. Even if you enjoy solitary masturbation, lube can make things slippery and fun.
Lubricant increases sexual arousal and increases pleasure. It can make sex last longer and using sex toys easier and more fun. Scented lubricants can increase arousal and pleasure in oral sex. I could go on and on about when to use lubricant, as there are many more ways in which this sexual aid can be practical and useful.
For people who have anal sex, lube is a must. The anal area does not have natural lubrication, so using lube provides the slipperiness needed for a comfortable and enjoyable session. Without enough lube, anal play will be unpleasant, and insanely uncomfortable and often painful.
Another act in which lube is an absolute necessity is the use of sex toys. Any fetish or play that involves adult toys goes much more smoothly if lube is used. Below I will talk about the types of lubes that can be used with various sex toys. Yes, it does make a difference, as strange as it may sound.
In the webcam sphere, lube is a godsend. The audience expects a hot stream, but the webcam model is not always 100% turned on. A little lube will help – the model can use her entire arsenal, and the audience gets the show they’re expecting.
How do I use the lubricant?
Using lube is very simple – you apply it to the area that needs lubrication. Pour some lube on your fingertips, spread it over your body, or apply it directly to the part of your body you want to lubricate. The same goes for sex toys – you can apply the lube to the toy or apply the lube to your body and rub the toy to lubricate it. There are no rules here, it all depends on what works best for you.
Lubricant comes in different containers, and they play an important role in how it is dispensed. Some lubricants come in little single-use bags, but they can be difficult to open with slippery hands. In addition, you can tear the package at the most crucial moment, spilling the lubricant in unnecessary places.
Most products are available in bottles or tubes with a squeezable tip. The way to use the lubricant in a tube is simple – squeeze the necessary amount on your hand and rub it where you need it. Lubricant in a bottle is a little more difficult to apply because you can’t measure the amount that pours out. Many brands offer lube in bottles with a dispenser pump, and in my experience, this is the easiest way to apply.
What can’t be used as a lubricant for webcam models?
In many cases, you may find that you run out of lube when you need it most. However, if this happens, don’t be tempted to use some everyday household items as lube. Here are substances that you should NEVER use instead of lube:
- Body moisturizers
- Cooking oil
- Baby oil
- Vaseline
- Honey/syrup
- Oil/Margarine
- WD-40
These products are not suitable for the sensitive and delicate skin of the vagina, penis and anus. If you use some of these products, you risk inflammation and skin irritation, bacterial infection and other health problems. The products I’ve listed here have a complex chemical composition, full of parabens, alcohol and other harmful ingredients.
What is lubricant viscosity?
Again, we are talking about a technical term, but lubricant viscosity is very important in achieving the desired level of slipperiness. In more technical terms, grease is used to reduce friction between surfaces, and viscosity measures the resistance or “thickness” of a grease.
Simply put: The more viscous the grease, the harder it is to spread, and the harder it is to slide on, and it can become sticky and unpleasant (think of honey or syrup). The lower the viscosity of the grease, the more slippery it will be, and the easier things will slide and slide.
The viscosity of a lubricant depends on its composition. Water-based greases have a lower viscosity and provide easier gliding, but they tend to evaporate faster, so they need to be applied more often. Thicker greases have a higher viscosity and do not need to be reapplied, but they do not provide as easy a glide as water-based greases.
Types of Lubricants and Body Compatibility
There are several types of lubricants, divided into several categories:
- Water-based
- Oil based
- Silicone-based
- Hybrid
- Flavored
- Lubricants with “special effects.
They have a variety of formulations that may not be compatible with every user. For many people with sensitive skin, some ingredients may cause irritation and discomfort.
Ingredients that can cause irritation include:
- Glycerin/glycerin is a type of alcohol derived from sugar that is often found in many cosmetic products. In some cases, it causes irritation and inflammation of the vaginal walls, and in more severe cases, even pain and yeast inflammation.
- Parabens are another commonly used preservative found in many cosmetic products, including lubricants; paraben can cause hypersensitivity and irritation.
- Mineral oil and petroleum jelly – These two ingredients, commonly found in oil-based cosmetics, are not very suitable for internal use. They can cause bacterial infection in the vagina, pain and irritation.
- Artificial fragrances and flavorings – These give cosmetics a smell and taste, but are not suitable for internal use. They can irritate sensitive vaginal and penile skin. I suggest avoiding them as much as possible.
Watch the expiration date of lubricants, just like any other product for personal use. I advise you to throw away expired lubricant, because using old, expired lubricant risks a lot of discomfort.
What kind of lubricant should webcam models use with sex toys?
One of the main uses for sex lubricant is for use with sex toys. But what type of lube is compatible with what type of toys?
Water-based lubricants are compatible with all types of sex toys. They provide a great slippery feeling and absorb into the skin without causing discomfort.
However, if you use large toys or have particularly long sex, you will have to reapply the lube, as it tends to dry out as the water evaporates. Also, water-based lubricants are ideal for use with condoms because they do not interact with latex, but they are not suitable for use in water because they wash off easily.
Oil-based lubricants can be used with large toys that need extra slipperiness. Oil-based lubricants have no negative effect on silicone toys, but tend to dissolve vinyl and latex. Therefore, if you use condoms, stay away from oil-based and petroleum-based lubricants. Oil-based lubricants are hard to wash off your sheets and clothes, but on the other hand, you can enjoy longer periods of time after using them without having to reapply.
Silicone-based lubricants offer the best of both types-they’re slippery, last longer, and are safe for use with condoms. Also, because silicone is inert, silicone-based lubricants are hypoallergenic and do not cause inflammation.
However, some silicone-based lubricants may damage the surface of some sex toys, but not all. Make sure you use a real silicone toy to avoid negative consequences. To be on the safe side, read the label on the package. Also, silicone-based lubricants are harder to wash off, so they can leave a “sticky” feeling for hours afterwards.
Anal Lubricant?
Although any type of lubricant can be used for anal play, it is much better to use a lubricant specifically designed for it. They can be water-based, oil-based, or silicone-based, but much thicker (more viscous) than regular lubricants; they have a gel-like consistency and are usually opaque in color.
Opacity is needed so you can see where you have applied the lubricant and not miss any spot or cause discomfort during anal play. Thicker lube lasts much longer, helps you insert anal sex toys, and promotes gliding during anal sex.
Conclusion: Use a lubricant and your life will play with new colors…
There is no single best lubricant on the market today. It all depends on how you use it and your personal preferences. I hope that I have answered all of your burning questions about lubricants.
