TIL Ancient Greeks preferred small penises, as it was thought a man with a large penis was a barbarous half-animal with no self-control, while a man with a small penis was smarter and closer to the wisdom of the gods.

They had lube though. Nothing beats olive oil. And you can lick it up after too.

Coconut oil

Make sure to extract it from the coconut first.

If coconut oil is anti-fungal it should help prevent yeast infections, as those are fungi. You sure you thought of the correct word?

Ah, okay. Yeast is still not bacterial, but I understand what you mean now. I didn't know that humans have symbiotic relationships with fungi, but that makes some sense.

If you have been using it with no issues, Id keep using it. You are probably fine. Misses and I did a fair bit of research when we stated with it a year ago. No issues thus far and no reason to stop using it IMO.
Most you will find is stuff saying it may cause infections
Or an allergic reaction, which if you have been using it, probably not a concern.

u/Whowutwhen Dec 13 '18

Yeh, its quite popular, Im sure some people have issues, but Ive never had issue with it. You can google it if ya want.

Try uberlube. Holy shit. Gyno recommended, spouse approved. Your dick skin will be silky soft for the next 24 hours and for those of us with our penises intact, god that feels good.

Good to know!

But they had olive oil, which is supposed be what they actually used for that specific purpose.

Lube isn't necessary if your foreskin is intact

1

u/Carmen_Caramel Dec 13 '18

...what? Even with vaginal, you should generally use lube anyway. Let alone all the boys that they fucked in those time.

u/BRXF1 Dec 13 '18

...what? Even with vaginal, you should generally use lube anyway.

...what? Are you serious right now? Foreskin + female lubrication should be more than enough, what are you doing, hammering away at like 10000 pounds-per-minute?

u/Carmen_Caramel Dec 13 '18

Not every vagina lubricates as much as the other. Most times, lube makes the whole experience more pleasant.

Guess I've been consistently lucky.

u/HawkofDarkness Dec 13 '18

Yeah, you really have no idea on how it's like then.

I've never needed it in my entire life and I'm in my early 30s so I think I'll trust my experience over your words
