The Lube Lowdown

  

 

For some having a fabulous lubricant is a luxury to enhance toy play or masturbation, for others it's a sexcessory must have to alleviate uncomfortable friction or solve the problem of dryness, but have you ever looked at a well-stocked shelf of lube and wondered, 'what's the difference?' Or scrolled through the Vibes Direct lube page and been totally bamboozled by the number of lubricants on offer unsure of just which one will work best for your bedroom needs?

Well, fear not. We're here to decode and explain what lube does what, with a few hints, rules and tips to ensure you pick the right one for your needs.

Know the difference
There are three main categories that lubricants can fall into: silicone based, water based or oil based. The major difference between the three comes down to consistency and texture, with some being thicker and longer lasting than others.

Silicone lubes such as ID Millennium or Gun Oil are really...

What's in Johnny Anglais' Joy Box?

Getting sex toy advice and tips from those in the know is a number one priority for the Vibes Direct blog and I'm always on the hunt for the very best sex bloggers, reviewers and sex toy connoisseurs to make sure you get the hottest low down on all of the sexcessories available.

This week I've had the pleasure of talking to the gorgeous adult star, stripper, model and personal trainer Johnny Anglais, a.k.a Jonny Cockfill about what's in his toy draw and what really gets him off.

Can you remember the first sex toy you bought?

Some people think of 'submissive' and all they imagine is a snivelling, whimpering guy wearing a leather hood, but what it means to me is putting the pleasure of the dominant person before my own satisfaction. Although it can sometimes mean donning a hood, which my owner/girlfriend Sade likes to do to me sometimes, ultimately my main motivation is making her happy. Sometimes that means cleaning the tub, other times it's giving her a massage or finding movies I think she'll like. To a degree there's no difference between being someone's submissive and being a...

So you've been over in the States for a while, what have you had going on?
I've been so busy! I just released my first DVD that I self-produced, Tanya Tate's Casting Couch. Guys always ask “How do I get into porn?” and “How can I work with...
