Sasha grey love spit - lubricant discontinued by Doc Johnson - review by biancajames

Porn Star Sasha Grey's signature lube "Love Spit" is manufactured by Doc Johnson. It comes in a box covered in black and white pics of the notorious porn star in sexy poses. The elegant matte black plastic squeeze bottle holds 4 ounces of lube, and is relatively discreet- from a distance all you can read is "love," and it could pass for lotion or shampoo. Like Ms. Grey herself, the packaging is very attractive and looks lovely on your night stand.

LoveSpit is a water-based lube "that looks and acts like the real thing," according to the box. I would disagree- it's a bit thick and viscous to feel like actual spit, but it does have a nice, slippery patina when applied. It is similar to other glycerine-based lubes like Wet and ID, although maybe a little smoother in consistency. Because it is water-based, it is safe for all kinds of toys. It contains glycerine and methylparaben (despite claiming to be paraben free), which may be troublesome for some bodies. It is flavorless (mildly sweet/bitter) and almost scentless.

I enjoyed the initial slick texture of this lube a great deal, and I found the slipperiness lasted for a decent length of time. However, as with other glycerine-based lubes, I did find it became somewhat sticky with continuous friction. You might want to have a spray bottle with water on hand to "refresh" it with prolonged use, or re-apply as needed.

I think this lube's best application is for anal play. Its thick consistency is perfect for anal sex or inserting toys, and I found it didn't irritate my sensitive tissues the way that some other lubes have in the past. One tends to re-apply lube more frequently with anal sex, so there was less of an issue of it drying out or becoming sticky.

Overall, this is a "stylish" designer lube that may not be ideal for all body types, but certainly performs well enough to be worth buying.

I've used it once since I reviewed it last, as an anal lube when I couldn't find anything else. Not my go-to lube at all and wouldn't recommend it highly to anyone other than Sasha Grey fans interested in collecting her products.
