Your Basic Guide to Water-Based Lube
Water-based lubricants can be used to really enhance your sexual experience.

Saliva is a free and readily available lube. Vulvae also produce their own lubrication. With the body's natural ability to produce lubrication, why would we want to use a manufactured lube? It can be helpful for anal sex or if a person wants some extra stimulation to help the natural lubrication flowing.

What Is an STI?
An important part of being sexually active is protecting your sexual health.

Sexually transmitted infections, or STIs, can cause a range of damage to the body from sores to infertility to death. Each STI has its own way of causing harm to the body and the symptoms may vary. It’s also common for many people to have a sexually transmitted infection and have no idea.
