Lubricants

I do all mine in stealth so Coconut Oil is awesome when I have time and the wife is away, when she’s around I do it in the shower using a good conditioner but then use the coconut oil afterwards to help keep the skin soft and moisturized.

Hey goingdeeper, yea kinda set me back a bit with the snake balm.. LOL..

Newbie so here goes.

Have used vacuum on and off for 20 years, and having just discovered this forum have decided to go for clamping. I have also recently been experimenting with Nivea “Good-buy Cellulite gel-cream”, this contains Q10 and Carnitine. I add some Ginkgo (alcohol removed) and a small amount of Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate. Also on oral Citrulline Malate. This lubricant mix does increase the surface capillary blood flow and with jelqing the underlying veins and Dorsal artery tree are now easily visible.

Been using this lubricant mix for a couple of months, but with recent clamping and then applying the lubricant I am very pleased with the results.

Any advice or other suggestions are welcome.

Brilliant forum.

I don’t have time to read through this whole thread, so if this has been mentioned before, just ignore it.

Homemade, cheap, natural, very slick lube: Boil some flax seed.

Short version:
Boil some whole flax seed in water for about 10 minutes, then strain out the seeds while the mix is still hot. The liquid part you strained out is the lube.

Longer version: 1 cup water, 1 T flax seed. Bring water to a boil. Add seed and boil for 10 minutes. Or something like that. I don’t remember. I’ve made this several times but don’t recall the suggested proportions. Do a Web search for flax seed and lube and you’ll find more info.

The stuff is extremely slick. Make some and you’ll see what I mean. It tends to be also stringy/slimy, but great lube for nearly free. No silicone or other additives/preservatives unlike the more expensive commercial lubes.

Buy flax seed in bulk cheaply at Winco, Sprout’s, or other local stores with bulk bins.

There are several of postings on TP that warn of the dangers of Flaxseed oil, linking it with Cancer.

I think that more natural the lubricant is, minors are potential adverse effects. I think that what is edible (and I mean good for the body saying edible) is better. High quality vegetable oils are the best IMO.

Probably also for the sexual intercourse.

Yes, the postings are related to ingesting flax seed. And even then there’s no hard evidence at all, just a bunch of stories mushed together to form a Ball Of Panic. BOP’s are common when people fail to understand science and start repeating or misremembering things they heard.

This is actually a damn good article that gives you the facts:

If you don’t want to read it, here’s the summary: Flax seed might contain estrogens and could therefore make estrogen receptor positive breast cancer grow faster. However, there’s no evidence whatsoever, in fact, in theory even the opposite is possible! Anyway, men don’t get breast cancer on their willy (not surprising at all ;) ), so using it as lube won’t give you cancer.

Edit: I use olive oil. It smells a little but it doesn;t dry during a session, it lubes the skin and it reminds me of Spain. Also, it’s cheap!

Thanks for all the info. I am now off to get some

Before I used extra virgin olive oil, now I feel extraordinarily well with biologic sesame oil (cold pressed).

It has a less pungent odor respect to virgin olive oil and a perfect viscosity for my slow jelq.

Such as olive oil, it is very good for the skin and the glans.

First lubricant used was olive oil, then canola oil and now coconut oil.

There is nothing wrong with eating flax seed in reasonable quantities. As for estrogenic effects, flax lignans act as a weak phytoestrogen, which can actually be a good thing health-wise in some cases since it will bind to estrogen receptors that would otherwise receive real estrogen, which is stronger. For most, none of this matters at all, and as far as boiling up some flax seed to make “goo” to use on your skin it is completely a non-issue.

My main concern with not eating boatloads of flax is its relatively high cadmium content (depending on the particular soil in which it is grown, but high overall). Search on flax and cadmium for more info. Then, when you’re worried about that, do a search on tea and fluoride. You’ll find a few cases of actual fluoridosis caused by drinking way more tea than the average person ever will.

I sometimes regularly eat flax seed and drink tea. As the saying goes, everything in moderation. I don’t worry if I swallow an apple seed, even though I know it contains a compound that turns into arsenic in my stomach.

Tea picks up fluoride from the water though so as long as they aren’t irrigating yours with contaminated water they should be fine

Since Arsenic is an element your stomach must be much more awesome than mine because it’s capable of cold fusion. I can’t create new elements out of smaller ones. You might mean the inorganic and organic compounds that contain Arsenic. (Organoarsenic chemistry - Wikipedia). However, Arsenic as an element is just as dangerous as in a compound, the effects don’t change.

Doesn’t matter that there’s the same amount of trace Arsenic in almost all fruits and fruit juices. But if you want to get Arsenic poisoning you either have to go work at a rubber tree plantage or you have to mine the mineral. I think the acid in the apples kills you first.

>However, Arsenic as an element is just as dangerous as in a compound, the effects don’t change.<

Arsenobetaine? I’m sure you don’t mean that a compound is as toxic as it’s constituent elements. If that were the case NaCl would have a horrifying effect in the world and fast food joints would be dealers of death in a way more literal sense :)

Since it’s extremely similar to choline I doubt the compound would stay intact in the body. You’d either have free Arsenic or a smaller, more reactive compound containing As in your body. It’s one of those minerals that’s always trouble.
