Lubricant	Produced by our bodies arousal, both women and men can generate sexual lubricant. Typically women have more natural lubrication close to ovulation and post menopausal women little to none. Using a water based lubricant helps women to avoid getting bladder and yeast infections sometimes caused by dry sex. Traumatization of the tissues during intercourse, use of sex toys, use of condoms and anal play may also be avoided with the use of a water based lubricant. Using water based lubricants with condoms may decrease chances of the condom breaking. Oil based lubricants can be used by those not sensitive to oil, but should not be used with latex toys, condoms or dental dams (oil deteriorates latex).
