New Study- Your Lube Choice Matters!
I just read a blog entry written by my friend Jacq Jones (owner of Sugar, an amazing sex shop that is woman owned & women/trans operated in Baltimore) where she talked about some of the information that came out yesterday at the International Microbicides Conference. One startling finding in a recent study was that some lubes are linked to an increase in the transmission of STI’s (in particular, Gonorrhea & Chlamydia, which were the two tested for in this study) through anal sex. The short version is that apparently lubes with glycerine & higher levels of salts have the potential to actually increase the possibility of infection…for the long version (and her “take away lessons”) check out her original post on Sugar’s blog. And Jacq? Thanks for sharing this important info!
