Life Beyond KY: The Wide, Wet World of Lube
Yana Tallon-Hicks
Sure, KY lube is enticing with those commercials where a shy couple simply touches the bottle and, pow! A suggestive hurricane hits, resulting in a pair of dazed looks and rumpled hair. Good thing they came up with that "Yours + Mine" formula, because what ever would we do without a blue bottle of "invigorating sensation" for him and a purple "thrilling sensation" for her which combine for such "an amazing reaction"? Does this magical color-coded sex-life-saving technology work for everyone? If two women use this together, will they burst into flames?
I never have found out what KY stands for, but I've always wondered. Somebody's initials? Was it invented in Kentucky? For me, KY has always stood for Killer Yeast infection. After months of itching, a doctor let me in on the secret. Turns out, yeasty bacteria have a bit of a sweet tooth, thriving off of glycerin, a sugary preservative in many lubes (including KY).

Lube 101 - How to Pick and Choose Personal Lubricants
by Jenn Ramsey
Moisture is essential to any kind of sex—rubbing dry on dry skin will quickly show you how uncomfortable sexual activity can be without it. Moisture prevents micro-abrasions in our most sensitive areas that can happen from sexual friction, as well as heightens sensation. Jenne from Clitical.com illustrated it well when she described her “finger on lip” test... first run your finger over your dry lip, then lick them and try again... and you'll understand why moisture is so important.

Health Benefits of Female Masturbation
by Krisha McCoy, MS
As you age, your body undergoes normal physical changes that may affect your sex life. The good news is that all these changes aren’t bad: Aging can have positive effects on sexuality. Some women, for instance, report feeling the freedom to enjoy sex more as they get older and don’t have birth control issues to contend with. Other women, however, experience emotional or physical changes that can make sex less enjoyable.
One common problem that older women experience is physical changes in the vagina. As a woman ages, her vagina becomes shorter and more narrow. In addition, without regular supplies of estrogen, the walls of the vagina can become thin and stiff. For this reason, it is common to experience vaginal dryness, or a lack of natural vaginal lubrication (wetness), as you get older.

Sexual Lubricants - A Slippery Pleasure
by: Lance Russell
Sexual lubricants, sometimes called personal lubricants, can greatly enhance sexual pleasure between partners, when using a sex toy or during masturbation for both women and men.

When Can I Start Having Sex Again After I've Had My Baby?
By Marc Hofkens
Once you've delivered, you'll normally be able to resume sexual activity after six weeks, but after everything your body and mind will go through during pregnancy and delivery, it's reasonable to fear you might not want to have sex for a lot longer than that. (And the first, third, or fourth time you have sex after the baby comes, you may also question whether you really want to ever have it again.) But don't worry, because, yes, you will eventually resume a normal sex life.

Semen - Sperm Taste Improvement Tips
by Amy Guven
"Consuming pineapple and/or parsley helps sweeten the taste of the male ejaculate. Can there be any truth to this and what other foods affect the taste, for better or for worse?" Yes, what you eat can influence the taste and smell of your ejaculate. This is something like the smell of your sweat on the next day of a heavily spicy and garlic full dinner.

Condoms - A Safe Way to Birth Control
by: David Chandler
It is not clear whether latex or polyurethane condoms are stronger - there are studies suggesting that either is less likely to break. With both types however, the likelihood of breakages is very small if used correctly. The lubrication on condoms also varies. Some condoms are not lubricated at all, some are lubricated with a silicone substance, and some condoms have a water-based lubricant. The lubrication on condoms aims to make the condom easier to put on and more comfortable to use. It can also help prevent condom
breakage.

How to Use Anal Beads
by: Danielle Green
To use anal beads, lubricate each one with a water based lubricant and insert then one at a time into the anus. At the time of orgasm, pull them out for a feeling that will send you over the top! Some people like the anal beads to be pulled out quickly, some like it slow. Anal beads can also be incorporated into foreplay by pulling some beads out and putting them back in or tugging gently on the cord, jiggling the beads in the anus. Anal beads are a great addition to any sexual encounter because they stay out of the way until the time comes to use them! They never interfere!

Freeing the Female Orgasm
by:
Al Link and Pala Copeland
It's a good idea to wait until she is very aroused before entering her vagina either with your fingers or your penis. Generally if she's not wet, she's not ready. It's as simple as that. If your lover doesn't have a lot of natural vaginal juices even when she is fully aroused be sure to use a good silicone or water-based lubricant. Nothing can be a quicker turn-off than rough, dry skin rubbing on soft vaginal tissues. Water-based or silicone lubricant is better because oil can clog the sensitive vaginal tissue.

Why Anal Sex is Painful for Most Lovers
by: Leah
1) Most people are just very uptight about the topic of Anal Sex (Anal Retentive?) and relaxation is a major part of this fun and erotic sexual play.
2) You have to use LUBE! The ass is naturally a very dry area to be inserting anything into it.
3) Start Small! Don't rush into anal sex. Start with small dildos and vibrators and again use lots of personal lubricant.

Better Orgasm ~ Mouth Action For Him
by:
E.J. Davis
It's an obvious misnomer to believe that all men think about every day or all the time is sex. The fact is a man's mind is usually filled with the daily issues of finances, politics, sports especially if their favorite team is losing-and sex. Women, this is a prime opportunity to get and hold his attention-literally. Giving a guy a hand job is good. Giving him a better orgasm with a little mouth action is even better.

From Behind Our White Picket Fence
Sex and Car Culture - Part 1
by: Freddy & Eddy
So here we find ourselves, among the pages of our beloved LA Weekly, kicking off the newest experiment by the dice-rollers-that-be in the hopes that, as "they" say, "sex sells." Who are we to be granted this vaunted assignment? Well, we can tell you who we aren't much more accurately, which is to say we are nobody. Not Hollywood writers, not hip musicians, not film critics, not Brad and Angelina, not anyone, in fact, whom you might find any more interesting than the majority of faceless citizens who comprise the real soul of Los Angeles. We're nobody and everybody, just like most of you.

From Behind Our White Picket Fence
Week Two
by: Freddy & Eddy
Well, here we are again, producing our "advertorial" column for your viewing and chewing pleasure. Just what the heck is "advertorial?" Well, we think of it as being "vertorial," which is to say it's composed of words, while the "ad" part designates us as belonging down in the putrid septic tank with the rest of the advertising department here at the Weekly. In actuality, what this really means is that we don't have to follow all the dumb-ass rules by which the real writers have to abide. Is that the coolest or what? Sure, you won't find us up on the 3 rd floor (Or was it the 4 th ? We can't remember because no one up there was actually up there when we toured the place) with the important wordsmiths, but we can drink at lunch with our fellow advertorial scumbags in the shitty building next to them. (Pondering thought, why does the department that pays the salaries of the writers on the 3 rd - or 4 th floor - who aren't there forced to inhabit the lousy building?)
