Menthol-based lube?

received spam from the usual gamut of spam-tastic crap that floods my company’s inbox. This one had an interestingly deceptive subject line (“friday night plans”) from some generic chick name. Anyway, I did a little google-ing and found the info page for it- (I am *not* shilling for these folks, fyi. It’s the VPRX pill people, which makes me wary; however, this doesn’t make extraordinary claims about 3” overnight or anything. This link doesn’t launch any popups either.) - so basically, if you don’t want to visit it, it says:

VPRx Oil has been uniquely formulated with a variety of natural herbal remedies, vitamins, amino acids and flavoring to create an incredibly effective and powerful lubricant. One of the main ingredients in assisting with the sexual boost is L-Argynine; an amino acid which converts to nitric oxide which is a fundamental building block to the cycle of orgasm in men.

Another powerful ingredient is menthol. This ingredient creates an opportunity for the amino acid (which is a relatively large molecule and not normally readily absorbed through the skin) to be absorbed transdermally when applied topically to the skin. This allows for the ingredients to work quickly and effectively in increasing sexual power and sensitivity directly through the skin.

The VP-RX Oil is a very sophisticated personal lubricant. Unlike other oils that are sticky or greasy, the VP-RX product is formulated to be slippery and smooth when applied - and to stay slippery, smooth, and wet during use. VPRx Oil is water-based so there are no issues with latex condoms and allows the formula to taste much better than the majority of competitive products on the market. The water-base also dries naturally after use leaving no sticky residue or uncomfortable feeling attributed to other lubricant products. All the components in VP-Rx Oil are hypo-allergenic and 100% USP approved for food use.

…So my questions are:

(1) Menthol on the wang- öuch, anybody?!

(2) It has much of the stuff we’ve all concurred might be beneficial, like L- Arg. However is there a real possibility of transdermal absorbtion with menthol? Don’t you need something like DMSO for that?

It’s probably too hopeful to ask if anybody’s even tried this sh*t.

I know a guy that jelqs with Vicks Vapor Rub. I tried it once, and it does not burn, but oh that smell lingers!!!

I’m not sure if the L-Arg would be effectively absorbed thru the skin or not.

You found it. Why don’t you give it a try and let us know?

WOW, that stuff is expensive. Just grind up some L-Arg tablets and mix it with the Vicks!

Plus they spelled Arginine wrong. I have never seen it spelled Argynine.

Good call on the typo.

Mmmm… not sure if I’m ready to take one for the team on this yet, like that leech oil crap I spotted on ebay a while back. I tried vapo-rub with masturbation once and haven’t ever experienced pain like that before or since, nor want to.
