Sexuality Happens

I haven’t gotten to review a lube in a while, so I’m glad that a certain sex toys company sent me some Sliquid Silk Hybrid Formula to review, even more so since I’ve been hearing such great things about sliquid, yet never got to try it. I have and love my Maximus (for water based) and my Eros Bodyglide (for silicone based) – Sliquid Silk Hybrid Formula is actually a combo of both water based lubes and silicone lubes. I couldn’t wait to give it a go.

Lube is ridiculously important.  Q and I have long sex sessions, often times more than 2 hours. While she does lubricate quite a bit naturally, that usually winds up winding down after the first 30 or 40 minutes. I have never been a big lubricator, and so I always always always need lube. Ergo, I’m constantly on the hunt for the perfect lube. This one is not, in fact, perfect, if for nothing else than it contains silicone, and therefore CANNOT be used with silicone toys. Please keep this in mind. On the other hand, it is both glycerin AND paraben free, so it’s 100% body healthy.

However, the bottle is hilarious. It claims to last longer than most Hollywood marriages. I was reading it out loud to Q as I fucked her with our new ceramic dildo, and we both got a good laugh out of it.  It’s a very thick, viscous-y lube, like most water based lubes, but smoother, like most silicone lubes. It’s white, rather than clear, and looks like either vaginal fluid or semen.  Which is kind of cool and kind of gross…but at the same time.

With the ceramic dildo, it didn’t, in fact, last longer than a Hollywood marriage. In fact, I had to re-apply multiple times in a 25 minute fuck session…which was more than annoying.  Q was quite under impressed.

However, when she was fucking me (sans insertables, with just her oh so fabulous, should-be-marketed-as-a-sex-toy hand), it actually worked really well. It was just the right amount of lubrication, it felt smooth, it kept going and going, and unlike water based lube, my ejaculatory love (as Q calls it) didn’t wash it away.

So…I like it for being fucked by hand.  It wasn’t too shabby on my clit when I used the Hitachi on it. However, if you’re using toys, it definitely dries up far faster than I like in a lube.  Final verdict? If you’re having flesh on flesh fucking (fingers, hands, penises, feet, etc), it’s brilliant. If you’re wanting to use some sex-cessories, than it leaves something to be desired. I’m going to keep it on hand for Q’s hand, but there are much better water-based lubes for playing with toys.
