A fact you may want to know :D

Vaseline plus condoms don't mix.

Vaseline, America's favorite greasy rub, spells disaster when used as a sexual lubricant! That's because Vaseline is a petroleum product and petroleum destroys latex. By destroy, we mean eats. In a matter of minutes, Vaseline on a condom or diaphragm will make a hole! Repeat after me: Never use Vaseline! The fact is, no oil-based product should ever be used in conjunction with a diaphragm or a condom. That means no Vaseline, no baby oil, no hand lotion. These products are all recognized to create pinholes in latex, which could lead to the exchange of an STD or accidental pregnancy. Not exactly what you hand in mind when you set out to have a good time.

I borrowed this from a health website. Checked it against more web sites and it seems to be true.. :o)

Wow, I would never be using anything other than a lubricant approved for sex... there are certain substances that shouldn't be up there...

[Bits08]

I kinda laughed when I saw that.  I cant imagine why anyone would want vaseline in their butt/va jay jay.  How the hell do you get it out?!

[mommyto3in08]

My cousin said she used lotion..and I was trying to tell her it was bad Lmao, some people just dont know...

I thought everyone knew that.  I guess that may explain why we have so many condom failures on this site. 

Never use any petroleum/oil based lubricants with condoms.  You can only use water based.

This is making sex ed in schools look like the best idea ever.

The vaseline label clearly says for external use only.

I truly believe anyone who uses it as a sexual lubricant shouldn't be having sex, because they're obviously NOT evolved...

I was reading this thinking "DUH"...I thought everyone knew this.  But if there is a need for it to be on a sex education website, it must not be as common knowledge as we thought.  And I'm a firm believer in sex ed in schools.

Fortunately I haven't had to use a condom in 18 years or so, but if the occassion should come up, no pun intended, again I'll keep that in mind, LOL!!!

Right, I am all for it too. Obviously people aren't even getting the basics when it is left to some parents.
