Talk:Personal lubricant
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Why was the Receipe here canceled? (because of the DB crash, not good idea or ?) I would like to have it back. It would be nice if a native english speaking person could to correct possible mistakes in grammar and orthography.
- This material is really still there, you just can't see it. If you look on the edit page, you will see it is there. For some reason, since the crash the displayed page is reverting sometimes to a previous version, probably one you have cached on your local computer. --Gary D 09:24, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Thank You
- I did the English clean-up you requested, but I left some questions on the page as to what you meant about certain things; perhaps you can go back in and fix those.--Gary D 23:57, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)
I made the translation of the word decoct with dict.leo.org. Maybe boil is better. The origin and motivation for this receipe were among other things [1] and [2]. And Thanks again :).
I found a link to a site on Encyclopedia Dramatica ([3]) saying that no oil-based lubricant should be used for anal sex or masturbation. First, I'd like to know if I can confirm that with any other sources. Second, I'd like to know, if it's true, which articles it should be mentioned in. -Friday, Auguest 26th, 10:41 EST
A distinction should be made between petroleum-based lubricants, like Vaseline, which are unsafe to apply to the vagina, and oils, like olive oil or Crisco, which seem to be safe to apply. The rule that I saw was "if you can eat it, you can also use it for the vagina".

[edit] Vaseline
"It has been said that no oil-based lubricants should be used for anal sex or masturbation because "many oil-based substances will coat the lining of the rectum, providing a haven for many potential infections."
Um, last time I masturbated my rectum did not become involved in any point. I can't remember it doing so in the past, either. >_>
- XD I agree entirely, that part needs to be fixed up a bit...er..the article, not the rectum..>.>DemonWeb 03:09, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
\they refer to "anal sex or masturbation" refering to anal masturbation. Pure inuyasha 02:53, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Silicone lube with silicone toys
The entry states "Silicone-based lubricants should not be used with silicone based sex toys." -- why is this? What will happen? --68.103.154.11 00:37, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
The silicone lube can/will react with the silicone in the sex toy and cause it to melt or degrade making a not so healthful mess or destroying the toy outright. Results may vary with silicone sex toys that aren't really pure medical grade silicone. Whitebox 00:09, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Oil based and Vaseline
Using the full name, "Vaseline Petroleum Jelly" it is clear that Vaseline is a petroleum based product. Clearly petroleum is neither animal nor vegetable and must be mineral. Therefore the line "Mineral oil is a less viscous alternative to petroleum jelly and is easier to wash off the skin." seems contradictory and misleading as a mineral oil cannot be an alternative to a mineral oil in that context.
TFB.
- Uh, petroleum jelly is a mineral and an oil, but not a mineral oil. Actually, mineral has a very specific definition, which excludes things like rocks and hydrocarbons. Also, if you use a long enough time frame, petroleum products are indeed animal and vegetable based. Also, "petrole-rump" would be a great name for an anal lubricant. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.72.21.221 (talk) 22:42, 1 March 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Alternatives
I notice in the Alternatives section, pie filling is listed. But it doesn't say what sort. The only kind of pie filling I can find has big chunks of fruit in it. Oh! I bet they mean pumpkin. Can someone change that to "pumpkin pie filling"? -Freekee 05:29, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
They might have meant the gel like pudding types of pie fillings, or take the cherries out of your cherry pie filling. Whitebox 00:11, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, and how about egg whites? Ew. All this perishable food going into crannies sounds very perilous. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.189.251.27 (talk) 10:45, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Vegetable gums
Added Vegetable gums to "Alternatives" section. A good example is xanthan gum (very commonly used in gluten-free baking and not very hard to find, from bakery sypplies, in health food shops or even in the gluten-free section of supermarkets). Anyone interested in personal experiences and recipes, have a look at this xanthan gum lube thread on the Fleshlight forum. Other gums also work very well. Most commercial lube always has some type of gum in it. 82.109.84.114 19:44, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] FDA Classification
The section about the FDA classification seems superfluous. Interesting as the information may be, it does not quite fit in the context of this article, as the section goes on to explain the classifications and uses of the word "device" in detail. It looks as if that text was just copied from somewhere, does not feel like a Wikipedia style, and does not contribute much to the theme "Personal lubricant", in my opinion.
Second, the FDA is not an international administration, and applies (to my knowledge) to the U.S. only. This should be made clear in the article. Didi7 21:26, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] recommendations of the use of a lubricants...
if anyone finds any suitable lubricants based on the different criteria which gives general & helpful guides that is most accepted based on the safety research by certified expertise, i am sure most readers would focus on such article as it supposed to help lots of lubricants issues.
