Lubricants and sexual health

Lubricants are very useful tool for women that have problems with vaginal dryness which leads to having troubles to reaching orgasm too. There are many reasons for vaginal dryness and the most common one is the hormonal changes that happen in woman’ body usually after childbirth and during the period of menopause. However, very often this dryness comes as a result of taking certain medications and even contraceptive pills. Sexual intercourses in cases of vaginal dryness are uncomfortable and in some cases painful. In addition, because of the increased rubbing there is great probability for damages on the walls of vagina which eventually leads to inflammation and infections. Because of all that rubbing without moisture, men using condoms are also at risk because the condom might break. The easiest way to avoid all these unwanted consequences is to use lubricants and their helpfulness is confirmed by many gynecologists.

There are many lubricants available on the market so don’t choose the first ones you see. Keep in mind that this is a serious thing and you don’t want to choose something that will only worsen the situation. The lubricants usually consist of parabens, glycols and glycerine, mineral oils and sodium benzoate. We must mention the parabens which try to mimic the female hormone estrogen and are very often associated with breast cancer. These parabens can be very dangerous for the sexual health of men too because they can lead to prostate diseases and abnormal sperm. Furthermore, glycerine turns body into glucose.

This situation can cause candidasis and at the same time it irritates the skin. Glycols, which increase the sensitivity, are working in a way that they eliminate certain cells and just like other chemicals they are able to enter the blood. Another substance that can be potentially dangerous is sodium benzoate. This substance is also known as preservative against mold in the food industry and when it is used as a lubricant it can irritate the skin and thus it deactivates certain DNA portions. Many experts link sodium benzoate with liver diseases and Parkinson’s disease. An interesting fact is that if it is combined with vitamin C it can potentially become carcinogenic substance. Liquid paraffin covers the skin and prevents its normal breathing.

Luckily, lubricants are so diverse and they don’t come only in forms that we have mentioned before. You can find safe lubricants in every store and even on the internet. You can notice that the composition of these natural lubricants remind us of some beautiful distant cuisine.
