Q: While I like oral sex, I don't like to swallow, but my boyfriend likes the feeling of coming
while my mouth is still around him. Our compromise is for me to perform oral sex on him while he
wears a condom. Our problem is probably a pretty basic one to you, but it's important to us so I
hope you can help. We've tried a few flavored lubricants but they've tasted terrible to me. Do you
know of any tasty lubricants that mask the taste of latex?
A: Given that I regularly hold flavored-lube taste-testing events, you've come (or perhaps, more
accurately, he's come) to the right person. It can be difficult to find a tasty lube, which is a
shame considering that lube is otherwise a great, pleasure-enhancing product. Sadly, many a sex
session has probably been ruined by the taste of a terrible lube. That's why I suggest conducting
one's own private lube taste-testing event. Get out a plate and a few different flavored lubricants
(if you're on a budget, pitch in with some friends for a wide variety), squirt a few drops on your
plate and sample the bunch. Make sure to swish water in between samples so that the flavor of one
lube doesn't influence the flavor of the next. You might wonder, Why do a lube taste test? Why not
just spring for one and try it? What could go wrong? After all, lubricants can get pretty pricey.
But what if you slather an unknown, not previously taste-tested lube on your partner's genitals,
go down on him and then gag, spit or otherwise express disgust? Even if it truly is the lube that
makes you gag, your partner may be traumatized by your reaction, and worry that it was his genitals
that horrified you, or the act itself. Not only could that ruin the moment, but it may make him feel
bad.
If you're wondering which lubes to start with, I strongly suggest including
Satori Oil of Love
(original flavor) and Climax Fruit Bomb in blue razzberry. Both are available at www.mypleasure.com. The latter is perhaps the tastiest
lube that has ever graced my tongue. It is so good that it makes me want to frost cupcakes with
it, and two friends have suggested smoothing it on toast. Cupcakes, toast—why not a penis? Even
though penises and vulvas are often tasty as is, a flavored lube like this one may be a refreshing
change of pace. In your case, it should certainly enhance the taste of your latex-clad boyfriend.
The Good Head (sometimes
sold as Great Head and also available at www.mypleasure.com) flavored lubes that are largely
intended for oral sex on men (thanks to some ingredients that can help numb sensation in his
partner's throat, supposedly easing the gag reflex) are also fairly tasty.
