Patient's question:
Please ask respected experts:Applying saliva to the labia and glans to provide lubrication, making insertion easier. Is this a good practice, and why?
First follow-up question: May I ask if it's okay as long as there are no oral issues? The answers from the two respected doctors seem a bit different. Could you please provide a more detailed response? Thank you!
Second follow-up question: Could any expert please provide a more detailed explanation? I'm concerned about potential side effects from lubricants. For example, A (a product) uses saliva. If the foreplay lasts a long time, and then it's over quickly after insertion. How should it be done properly? Please advise.
Doctor's answer:
Sex is a process of mutual contact and friction between male and female genital organs. Since friction occurs between muscles, a certain amount of liquid is needed to provide lubrication. The main lubricant used to reduce friction is liquid paraffin. Based on the situation you described, you can use glycerin enemas, which are primarily composed of glycerin and can also serve as a lubricant. Regarding the use of saliva as a lubricant, this is not advisable. It is also unhygienic, and we do not recommend using it this way.
