JO warming lubricant - lubricant discontinued by System JO - review by bh253

System Jo Agape Warming Lubricant for Women creates a comfortably warm feeling when used for masturbation or sex. The best use for this product is probably masturbation, though it would work well for vaginal or anal sex too. I would not recommend it for oral sex, because of the bitter taste.

When used for masturbation, it can be applied to the sensitive areas such as the clitoris or the penis, or applied directly to a toy. Since the Agape lube is water-based, it is safe for use with all toys. Just apply 1 to 2 drops after fully engorged/erect, perhaps after some manual stimulation, and rub in to feel the full effects. If applied before you are fully aroused, the effects will not be very noticeable. The lube will continue to warm as long as it is being touched or rubbed.

It can be used for partner sex as well, by applying it in the same manner. If using condoms, there will be no problem, since this particular lube is latex safe. The instructions say you can apply inside and/or outside of the condom. I will personally not be using it for partner sex, because the warming effects combined with the body heat of my partner proves to get uncomfortably hot. The only time I could see this not being an issue is on a very cold day.

There's no reason you couldn't use it for massage as well, since it absorbs into the skin very nicely, and leaves the skin feeling silky. Do keep in mind, your skin will not taste delicious, like some of the 'kissable' massage oils will make it taste. I would recommend a massage oil instead for that reason. The Shunga massage oil products I have tried were very nice.

This product will work well for anyone who needs a safe, water-based lube and wants to feel warming sensations. This product will work for most people, if used properly, and should not cause burning or discomfort. The best occasion to use this product is any day at all, and the best situation would be any besides oral sex, or any play in the water. The bitter taste makes Agape undesirable for oral, and the water in a shower, pool, or hot tub will wash away the lube.

As I have come to see with the other Jo lubes, this product falls somewhere between thick and thin. Thick enough for almost all uses, though it may not be thick enough for anal. However, don't let me stop you! It runs slightly, though stays in place once you have rubbed it in a little. It is slippery, but velvety. The texture is slick and smooth. I can apply a small amount to the fingers and rub it in until it is absorbed, and my skin does not feel greasy or oily afterwards. Remember, a little goes a long way, and you will only need 1 to 2 drops initially. I have not needed to reapply, even during longer sessions.

This is not the area where the Agape performs the best. The lube has a faint black licorice scent, but tastes even nastier than it smells! It's a very strong taste, so unless you like chemical tasting black licorice flavors, I would not recommend this for oral. Just don't taste it. It's gross...

Agape performed very well! It felt natural, and was long-lasting. I didn't feel the need to reapply, even during longer sessions. It absorbs nicely into the skin, so I didn't feel like I needed to wash myself off immediately. However when it is time to clean up, it washes away with water. I love the warming sensations and increased sensitivity, along with the "silicone feel." I did not enjoy the taste or smell. This product is still highly recommended!

The bottle I received was different from the one pictured. It looks exactly like this, but in a 4oz size rather than the 2oz size. I have contacted Eden and they say that the company has changed the product. Do know you will be getting something different than is currently displayed, though they are working on updating the page and taking new stock photos. My review is for the new product, with the new packaging and ingredients.

Agape comes in a frosted bottle with a purple band across the bottom, and a hot red lid. When the bottle is uncapped, you will find a convenient push pump top that does not leak. I prefer to store mine upright, but I haven't had any problems when it was lying on its side. I found it was easy to use/dispense. It wasn't messy at all, and only pumped out one pea-sized drop at a time.

This product is amazing! When applied after my clitoris was fully engorged, I could feel the full effects or the lube. It provides a gentle and comfortable warmth, not at all uncomfortable. I did not feel like it was burning me, not did I feel like I was too hot. It did not tingle, it just felt warm. The sensation was great. On top of that, the ingredients in this lube increase blood flow to your nether regions, therefore increasing sensitivity. Agape will make you cum fast and hard. If you are looking for a product to enhance your orgasms, this is very comparable to a clit cream in that regard. As long as you don't mind the warming sensations, Agape can serve multiple purposes as a lube, a warming agent, and as a product that increases sensitivity.

I have to admit, the first time I used this, I wasn't impressed. I felt the warming effect when I rubbed it into my fingers, but barely at all on my sensitive girly bits. I had applied it directly to my clitoris and rubbed it in, but felt only a mild sensation of warmth. However, the second time I tried it, I warmed up by stimulating my clitoris manually first, and waited for the blood to flow down there before I applied the lube. Huge difference! The majority of the warmth is felt when it is initially applied, and if you are not fully engorged (or erect) you may not feel the full sensations of this lube. I think it depends partially on how and when you apply it, and partially how sensitive a person you are. Personally, I am not overly sensitive, nor do I have a clit of steel, and I felt the sensations fully and as advertised the second time around. It continued to create warmth as long as I was touching it in some way, either with my fingers or a toy. I must say, it really increased my sensitivity, and every time I used it properly, I came hard and in less than a minute. When I stopped touching, the warmth began to fade. It only stays warm as long as you are actively using it, so when you are done, the warmth will ebb away without needing to be washed off. It lasted me a 15 minute masturbation session without needing to be reapplied. I only used two drops to start with. I quite enjoyed this lube!
