SEX AND RELATIONSHIPS

Think Before You Lube

What, what, in the butt?

If you and your partner have been thinking about experimenting with a little back door action, consider doing some research first. According to xbiz.com, a new report suggests that using lubricants during unprotected anal sex may raise the risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV.

I guess lube doesn’t guarantee smooth sailing after all.

Researchers at UCLA’s Geffen School of Medicine conducted two new studies before putting together this report. The first two-year study observed that men and women who use lubricants in general are three times more likely to have some form of a rectal sexually transmitted infection. The second study focused on the effects of six most popular lubricants on rectal cells and tissues. All this talk of rectal tissue and infections grossing you out? Don’t worry too much yet, lubricant safety advocates say conclusions can’t be made based on these small studies.

But just keep in mind before you “What, What in the Butt”.  PRE and Wet Platinum = yay, while Astroglide and KY Jelly = nay.
