Olive oil is fine and adds a distinctive taste. Safflower oil is recommended by some massage therapists but all the non-processed vegetable oils are good lubricants, will not harm human tissue and will not degrade latex condoms. Palm oil and coconut oil are terrible for eating (cholesterol enhancing) but are great for the skin.
Do NOT use oriental sesame oil; it has been processed and is a flavoring; the clear non-processed sesame oil is ok.
i had no idea you could use certain cooking oils as lube, huh, ya learn something every day... not that i plan on doing that in the near future, but hey...
well as we buy it by the 5 litre (ahem for cooking of course) and not knowing where to go here. as I am a foreigner here doing anything other than sleep eat and work is considered worthy of universal note (gossip) so I darn't try a local chemist and u can be sure they have it not.
[QUOTE=Newtolove]basically here in south italy I havn't the foggiest where to go and get lube and was woundering if olive oil would be ok. my questions are 1: will it irritate her 2: will it damage the condom I know mineral oils do but olive oil is not mineral.[/QUOTE]
Let me know if extra-virgin works better than the regular stuff. ;)
Actually, I think the extra-virgin would be better because it has a much lighter smell and flavour. When you're using olive oil with food, you always put extra-virgin oil onto anything you're right about to eat, and use the regular stuff for cooking.
yes you can be extra virgin.. just have a steel cage clamp onto your private and lose the key then you will be extra virgin.;) or you can be the Bush twints ops they are no longer virgin!!!! ...:D
This reminds me of a semantics lesson I had in college in which the subject was "absolutes". Perfect is an absolute term therefore you cannot be more perfect or "perfecter"; however, it is possible to be more nearly perfect. I wonder how this rule of grammar works for the word "virgin"?
[QUOTE=Newtolove]well extra virginn oil should be unfiltered and therefor be thicker and "smellier" that transparent crap you get in england ait olive oil it's the ghost of olive oil[/QUOTE]
To my knowledge, it's not a matter of whether or not the oil is filtered, it's how the oil is produced. Wikipedia has a nice article on it. Extra virgin olive oil has no refined oil:
Extra-virgin olive oil comes from the first pressing of the olives, contains no more than 0.8% acidity, and is judged to have a superior taste. There can be no refined oil in extra-virgin olive oil.
Virgin olive oil with an acidity less than 2%, and judged to have a good taste. There can be no refined oil in virgin olive oil.
Olive oil is a blend of virgin oil and refined virgin oil, containing at most 1% acidity. It commonly lacks a strong flavor.
Although I was probably a bit off when I mentioned light flavour. The strength of the flavour varies a lot, and you can buy heavy/light-flavoured oils. If you're going to be covering yourself/selves in olive oil, you'll probably want to find a very light-flavoured oil. The scent could get overpowering.

Extra Virgin?
More Perfect?
