I was having a conversation with a customer yesterday about oral sex. On the heels of my glowing review of Kama Sutra’s Pleasure Balm, I was all about talking to him about how great it is. The conversation swung to the topic of lube (he was looking for a good water base to use with his new silicone toy) and I mentioned Sassy. I also mentioned how it’s great for jerking off as well as for giving head. He was confused. “Why would you use lube to give head?” Sigh. I spoke with him about the benefits of using lube for blowing someone and showed him the bottle. He couldn’t get around the design on the bottle (a girl, pink, blah blah blah) so I showed him Sassy’s sister, Sliquid Organics Gel. He said “How does this compare to the Sassy one?” and I said “Come back tomorrow and I will let you know!”
Sliquid Organic Gel is 100% vegan as well as organic. It is free of glycerine, parabens & petroleum. In fact it contains a healthy dose of botanicals: Plant cellulose (from cotton), aloe barbadensis (certified organic), vitamin E, cyamopsis (guar conditioners), extracts of hibiscus, flax, green tea & sunflower seed, citric acid (citrus fruits), and phenoxyethanol (rose ether). It’s hypoallergenic, non-staining, and 100% latex safe. On a side note, Sliquid also does not test their products on animals. Hooray!
I squeezed a bit of lube into my palm and it came out in a clear, thick blob. Just rubbing it between my fingertips I could tell it was very smooth and slick but still provided a pillow effect due to it’s thickness. I licked a little off my finger and didn’t taste anything, so I licked my entire palm to be sure. This lube doesn’t have a nasty taste like some of those other lubes can. Which brings us to the blowjob portion of our little review!
Using lube for oral sex is an excellent move. Spit is fine and all for a minute, but spit dries up fast and can get sticky and become a bit uncomfortable. For the same benefits of using spit without the annoying discomfort, use a bit of lube instead. Using lube makes the entire shaft slippery and smooth so that when you are sucking him off you can jerk him off at the same time. It gives the sensation of deep throating to a certain degree, especially if you warm the bottle up in a bowl of warm water before hand, and who doesn’t like the way that sounds!
Jerking off with Sliquid Organics Gel was great. It’s water reactivating, which means that when it did start to dry up I just spit in my palm and it made the lube slippery again. The quality of Sliquid versus crap like Astroglide or KY is definitely noticable once you give it a try!
As far as anal goes, it’s not so bad. Some people prefer water base lubes versus silicones because of the texture. I personally prefer silicone, but water base can be a nice feeling too if you are using good stuff. Both are latex safe so you don’t have to worry about it breaking condoms. If you are going to fuck using water base though, make sure you use plenty of it and reapply often — if it dries up it will start to create a bit of friction and that could lead to condom tears or breakage!
This lube is great, and it’s not so expensive. A small bottle is in the $11-13 range, and it’s definitely worth picking up and trying out — especially if you can’t stand Sassy’s sassy packaging.
