I've been using K-Y for over 30 years now and you just can't go wrong with it. Granted its not the best for every purpose, but what is?

The fact of the matter is I find K-Y perfect for anal sex whether bareback or with a condom. It is slippery enough for him to get in easily, but not so slippery that he pounds me unmercifully trying to get enough friction to get him off!

If your man is really quick on the trigger you might want to try something a little more slippery but if he's anything like mine, quicker is better otherwise he'll wear me out!

K-Y definitely fills the bill here, slick enough to get him in but not so slick that he can't cum.

KY is also great for all of my silicone and hard plastic toys and vibes as it is not too slippery and gives just enough friction to get me off really quickly!

Finally, now that I'm approaching menopause I found that I don't get wet as easily as I did when I was younger. If any of you've ever experienced a dry fuck, you'll know what I'm talking about! It isn't a whole lot of fun and my husband complains that it rubs him raw.

The answer? When I think he might be feeling a little frisky a little dab or two applied just inside my vagina when he isn't looking works wonders!

Now for the downside. K-Y dries very quickly wherever it is exposed to air, once its applied you need to get down to business very quickly. K-Y also leaves a gummy residue which isn't all that pleasant to have around gumming up your nethers after lovemaking.

Another downside to K-Y is using it on rubber toys. First, K-Y just isn't slick enough for rubber toys making it kind of uncomfortable to use for this purpose. Second,it gums up on the shafts of rubber dildos really fast making the whole experience kind of gross. For rubber toys, I strongly suggest using something else.
