Saliva Is A Safe, Natural Sex Lubricant

Sometimes, a woman is too dry for sex.

A lubricant is then needed to make penetration possible because penetrating a dry vagina is dangerous and painful, especially for the woman.

However, many people don't use over the counter lubricants, opting for the readily available petroleum jelly which works too.

Using jelly is not a bad idea but it is not the best solution.

You have the option of using your own cheap and always available saliva — your spittle!

A little saliva on the vagina can be a very effective lube

The danger with petroleum jelly is that it can compromise the condom, and increase the risk of you getting an infection.

So, why not spit?

Patti Britton, PhD, a clinical sexologist in California and author of The Art of Sex Coaching said using the saliva is perfectly safe to supplement natural lubrication.

"In fact, spit is probably the world's oldest sex lube, something singles and couples have been using in a pinch since the beginning of time," Britton said.

Next time, try your saliva.

It will give you the slippery entry you want.
