How can you tell if olive oil is fresh?
"Olive oil is really the fruit juice of the olive. Since it is fresh fruit oil its quality and taste will deteriorate over time. In order to reap the benefits that fresh oil provides you should use it within a year of production. High quality olive oil will not become rancid after a year, but it will have lost much of its nutritional value. This is where it becomes important to know the crush date of the olive oil you plan to purchase. Many times you will find a "use by" date on bottled olive oil, but this date isn't really helpful. The most important date to know is the crush date. If you know this date you can be confident you are purchasing the freshest oil possible. Another factor in retaining the freshness of olive oil is storage. The 4 enemies of olive oil are heat, light, air, and time. Storing olive oil in dark glass bottles, away from heat, opening the bottle only when you're ready to use it, and using the oil in a timely manner are all ways to ensure your olive oil will retain its freshness.

Olive oil is safe to use as a lubricant, especially if oral sex is involved. It is perfectly safe unless you would be allergic to it and develop a rash that would disappear when product usage stops. The only thing is it would be oily and messy and wouldn't be suggested for condom usage.
