Why do lubricants have separate options for men?
Men's lubricants are designed specifically for male use, typically made from a blend of water, glycerin, and other ingredients. Men's lubricants provide additional lubrication to make self-pleasuring activities smoother and more comfortable. The need for men's lubricants arose because male sex toys, such as masturbators, do not have the natural ability to secrete female lubrication, so additional lubrication is necessary to provide a smoother sexual experience.
What is the difference between different viscosities of men's lubricants?
The different viscosities of men's lubricants primarily affect their lubrication effects and sensations during use. Generally, men's lubricants come in two different viscosity options: low viscosity and high viscosity.
Low viscosity men's lubricants are usually thinner and flow more easily, providing a more natural feeling and avoiding a heavy or thick sensation. This type of lubricant is suitable for masturbation or general sexual activities, providing comfortable lubrication without affecting sensation.
High viscosity men's lubricants are usually thicker and provide longer-lasting lubrication while reducing the amount needed. This type of lubricant is suitable for longer-lasting sexual activities that require prolonged lubrication, such as anal sex or the use of sex toys. Additionally, using lubricants with different viscosities and amounts can provide completely different sensations when using the same masturbator or self-pleasuring technique.
