It's happened to us all: In the heat of passion, things just won't “fit together” correctly. Forcing the issue can cause pain and discomfort, while just throwing in the towel can be a major-league let-down. If there's a single sexual aid that nearly every person on this planet should become comfortable and familiar with, it's lube.

Whether you choose the ubiquitous KY Jelly or some other brand, the point is that reducing friction can actually be a very good thing in many cases – and can make your partner much more enthusiastic about sex all around.

The Trouble With Friction
Although the female body is supposed to lube up on its own, the fact is that it doesn't always do so effectively or efficiently. Just because she's not getting wet, though, doesn't mean that she's not turned on.

Many guys take it personally when their wives or girlfriends are too dry down there, but something as simple as hormonal shifts can compromise natural lubrication. Instead of getting all bent out of shape about it, keep a tube of lube at the ready.

Get Into It
These days, there are hundreds of different lubes that you can experiment with. Many couples enjoy using flavored lubes, which bring an extra dimension into the act. In addition to lubricating all of the relevant parts, flavored lube can be used during foreplay to get both of your engines humming right along.

There are also lubes that seem to “heat up,” and lubes that produce a nice tingling sensation. Get into using lube by trying several different kinds; consider hitting the adult novelty shop together sometime for best results.

Make New Positions More Manageable
Sometimes, trying a new position is out of the question due to a lack of lubrication. A lot of “back door” fun, for instance, is simply not advisable without substantial quantities of lube.

If you are anxious to try different and more experimental positions, lube can facilitate them and make them more comfortable for everybody. The best part is, lube can be included in whatever act you are doing and doesn't need to get in the way at all.

The More The Merrier!
Finally, there's no “correct amount” of lube to use. In fact, you're better off using too much lube than too little. After settling on a variety that you and she both like, buy a decent amount of it so that you aren't tempted to be stingy or use it sparingly. You're bound to discover that introducing lube into your sex life can produce many key perks – and that the two of you start enjoying longer and more exciting between-the-sheets sessions, too.
