Sure, anything they come into contact with affects them. Increased lubricant means increased fluid for them to swim in. If the lubricant is slightly basic pH then it can counteract the natural acidity of the vagina increasing the likelihood that the sperm survive and reach the egg for fertilization. However if the lubricant is spermicidal, then it destroys the sperm cells immediately upon exposure. Also if the lubricant is either hyper or hypo osmolar this too can damage the sperm.

No, unless it contains a spermicide, it does not kill sperm.

Some lubes are also spermicidal, but not all. Anyhow it's not enough for them to function as contraceptives.

What is the best sex lubricant?

Water-based lubricants are good for condoms, but dry up and require re-application. The famous AstroGlide costs less than $10 per bottle, and works wet slippery wonders! Silicone-based lubricants are also safe with condoms and won't dry up, but they'll require clean-up with soap and water. Wet Premium Platinum Personal Lubricate is on sale and free shipping from Amazon. Natural lubricants are coconut or jojoba based, here's Passion, for just $10 and eligible for 2-day shipping on Amazon.


Is lube edible?

There is different tupes of lube and i was trying to remember the difference between each when i came across this perfect description:Edible Lubricants - Edible lubricants include (almost always artificial) flavorings. The purpose of these flavorings is to make them palatable. If you read the packages they sound delicious. Flavors on the market include Sun Ripened Strawberry, Chocolate-Raspberry, Passion Fruit even Orange-Mango, and Raspberry Kiss.Digestible Lubricants - I suppose some companies acknowledge that certain products don't taste good but are in fact edible. Sometimes they use the term "Digestible" to signify this. As almost any product that can be used in and around the vagina is digestible, normal lubricants fall into this category.Non-edible Lubricants - Recently, some silicone based lubricants have been introduced. These lubricants have the advantage that they do not dry out like most edible (water based) lubricants. Silicone lubricants are also condom and sex toy compatible unlike some (oil based) digestible lubricants. Unfortunately, Silicone lubricants are not digestible. Are they poisonous? No. They are inert. I imagine you could probably eat them in the same way you can swallow your gum.End of the day...it wont kill you, but some are not yummy!


Example of lubricant?

There are a few different basic types of lubricants. Those are water-based, silicone-based, and a new mix version of the two types of lubricants. Wet Synergy is a hybrid formula of water-based and fortified with hydrating silicone so it delivers 3x longer lasting moisture than other water-based formulas. Wet® Synergy is sugar-free, odorless, non-staining, and it washes away easily with warm water. It is recommended for temporary relief of personal dryness. One of my favorite brands is the Wet Lubricant line. They are offering free lubricants from their website at http://www.stayswetlonger.com/freesamples/freesamples.php. You can also view the wet line from my site at www.ShopOhZone.com. Hope this helps! Quick Answer: oil, soap, water, washing up liquid, wax, to name a few.
