Pah, pah, pah. Could using Lube help you get more pleasure from sex? Thanks for asking. Whether it's out of necessity or for enjoyment, Lupurkan helps a lot of people in their sex lives. According to the Cleveland Clinic, around 17% of people are signed female at birth, age 18 to 50, report problems with vaginal dryness during sex, even before menopause takes place. And that figure increases to 50% after menopause. There are a number of factors that can contribute to insufficient lubrication. These include certain hormonal contraceptives, medications, conditions like diabetes, or pregnancy and breastfeeding. Now if it happens to you during sex, you might have gotten frustrated at the time thinking that a rousal or romantic feeling should be enough to get your partner wet or to get wet yourself.
But that's simply not the case. In reality, lubrication isn't automatic, and sex can get uncomfortable if proper precautions aren't taken. What's the actual purpose of Lupurkan then? It protects the mucus membranes from friction, which can create micro tears where yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis, and sexually transmitted infections can develop. Industrial Lupurkan actually serves as a substitute for siprain. The natural vaginal fluid produced during sexual arousal. Now that's not the same as vaginal discharge, cervical mucus, or the ejaculatory fluid released during orgasm. Siprain is secreted by the bathaling glands and is made up of water, urea, proteins, bacteria, and lactic acid. It moisons the vagina and vulva, thereby preventing irritation during sex and enhancing pleasure. Do lubricants actually enhance sexual pleasure, though?
Well, that's a subjective question, but many people report that they do. For example, back in 2009, an Indiana University study of nearly 2500 women found that 70% of the time using Lupur have made sex more pleasurable and enjoyable. One thing's clear, Lupur isn't just for addressing health issues and shouldn't be seen as something only women of a 50 years. It can be a true partner in pleasure and serve as a reminder that you should never have to just grit your teeth and put up with painful sex. Another common misconception is that Lup is only for vaginal or anal penetration. In fact, it can also be effective at enhancing foreplay when using a sex toy or when enjoying solo play. So how would I go about choosing the right one? It's important to choose a product that respects the vaginal pH and microbiome and water-based lubricants do just that.
There are also ideal for couples who are trying to get pregnant, but one downside is that they dry out quickly. Silicone-based lubricants tend to offer better glide, but aren't compatible with condoms and sex toys sadly. They also require clean-up afterwards and are generally less eco-friendly. Finally, oil-based lubricants are primarily for external use and shouldn't be used with latex condoms as they can make them porous. Today you have it. Now you know whether using Lup could help you get more pleasure from sex. In under three minutes, we answer your questions and help you understand the true meaning behind the trends, concepts and acronyms that are making headlines. It's an along and you will really know for sure.
