John Lichfield: Female mud-wrestling, French style

The French Left has devised a way to distract media attention away from President Nicolas Sarkozy – female mud-wrestling.

In the red corner, we have Martine Aubry, the Lille bruiser, who “won” the party’s leadership contest by 0.05 per cent of the vote. In the white corner, we have Ségolène Royal, the Poitou hellcat, who accuses her opponent’s camp of “cheating” and “stealing” victory.

No contest between the Left and Right has been fought with more invective and more dirty tricks than this riveting contest between the Centre-Left and the Centre-Left. The poisonous hatred between the two camps was apparent long before the vote of Socialist party members on Friday night split almost exactly 50-50.

The problem is not the narrowness of Friday’s vote, nor the evidence of voting irregularities. Such practises have long plagued France’s alternative “party of government”. (As one party official explained: “In the North, there are genuine members with fake cards. In the South, there are genuine cards held by fake members.”) The real problem is that personal relations between the camps have grown so venomous that a de facto schism seems inevitable. A formal split into two parties of the centre-left is unlikely in the short term. It is no longer inconceivable.

That there were irregularities in Friday’s vote is certain. The nearly 80 per cent landslide for Mme Aubry in her own fiefdom around Lille was suspicious. So were some of the “block votes” for Mme Royal in the south and in the overseas departements. Only 42 out of 134,784 votes separate the two women. A Parti Socialiste (PS) task force will sift through multiple claims of errors and fraud today before the national committee meets on Tuesday night to decide whether to ratify the result.

The argument between Mme Aubry, 58, and Mme Royal, 55, is not truly ideological. Both come from the moderate wing of the party. They are divided, partly, by their visions of the future of the PS itself. Mme Royal wants to attract a younger, mass membership. She wants – as she said – a “Facebook political party”, which the many, left-leaning young people in France could easily join and identify with. Her enemies say that she wants to create a personal fan club.

Mme Aubry, although she also speaks of a “new” party, is perfectly comfortable with a Parti Socialiste whose “masses” consist mostly of teachers and civil servants. She represents the social-democratic, managerial impulses of an ageing party leadership which does not want to lose its power.

Beyond all that, there is the personal contempt of Mme Aubry for Mme Royal (whom she sees as a bossy airhead with right-wing social instincts). And there is the deep personal contempt of Mme Royal for Mme Aubry (whom she sees as a sharp-tongued, and worse, badly-dressed dinosaur).

Even an undisputed First Secretary of the party would not have been guaranteed the centre-left presidential “nomination” in 2012. It is possible, despite her denials at the weekend, that Mme Royal will be tempted to play the martyr-messiah and create her own party. Either way, the real winners are likely to be a) President Sarkozy and b) Olivier Besancenot, the oily but plausible Trotskyist postman whose attempts to create a broad “anti-capitalist party” are gathering strength.

It used to be said that France had the “stupidest Right in the world”. In that tradition, at least, France has moved decisively to the Left.

Inside an Underground Women’s Mud Wrestling Ring in Chicago

Going to a Chicago Mud Queens match is a little like watching the Netflix show G.L.O.W., but with beer, guitars, a much bigger mess, and less sexual harassment. The league, which has been around since 2003, aims to reclaim the raw power of women’s mud wrestling, without the over-sexualized image. What started as a goofy fight among friends evolved into a legit organization that hosts indoor matches from April through October at music venues and bars throughout the city. Since 2004, the team has donated profits from their events to charity.

The provocative, witty, and aggressively skilled women who sling mud (and occasionally slime, lube, or spaghetti) at each other have earned the Mud Queens a cult following in Chicago. The biggest match of the year takes place every Halloween at Reggie’s Rock Club in Chicago’s South Loop. The mud is swapped out for fake blood (though the recipe for the slick stuff stays secret). It’s a combination of punk rock, feminism, contact sports, and activism that embodies the Windy City’s gritty, DIY ethos.

VICE checked out this year’s Halloween event with photographer Danielle Scruggs to meet the Mud Queens and get a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to throw a bloody good wrestling match.

Kira Elliot, a.k.a. Brownie Bruiser

“I’ve been in Mud Queens for eight or nine years. There are a lot of reasons I do it. My favorite part is the women involved in the organization. They’re hilarious, and there is an amazing sisterhood in the group. Everybody just really enjoys each other. We all live these buttoned-up lives, and it’s cool to let loose and do something that’s off-the-charts wild and crazy. Every year, after our final show, we give a lump sum of our earnings to the Chicago Women’s Health Center. I think it’s really important to take care of people, especially women with reproductive needs. Chicago is competing against New York and Los Angeles, and there is something gritty about Mud Queens being here. It gives Chicago a bit more of an edge and reputation of being badass and hardcore.”

Erica de Marco, a.k.a. Ultimate Whorrior

“I came to Chicago alone, when I was 21 and didn’t know anybody. I came across a flyer for a Mud Queens show and texted the founder and said, ‘I want to do this. How do I get trained?’ She texted back and said, ‘We had a girl drop out. You’re on tomorrow at 7 PM.’ She put me up against one of the largest fighters, and I lost very hard. I lost every fight for the next four years straight, and it wasn’t until my fifth year that I won my first fight. It’s a really good feeling when you look out into the audience and people are cheering. It’s a feeling I’ve grown addicted to. We’re breaking stereotypes. When you think of mud wrestling, you think of girls rolling around seductively, but we bring strength to it.”

Mark Macoun, a.k.a. the Ref

“My buddy Megan wanted to do jello wrestling, but we didn’t know where to store that much jello, so we made mud. I’ve been doing this since 2003. I’ve been doing it so long that I don’t know why I would stop [laughs]. Mud Queens is unique to Chicago. We’re underground, but we’ve been around for 15 years. It has to be one of the city’s longest running shows at this point. I love the community aspect—people showing up and putting on a show together—a band of brothers and sisters, that sort of shit.”

Kim Kozak, a.k.a. El Baño

“There is nothing else like Mud Queens. It’s badass women who are taking back mud wrestling. It’s a piece of Chicago culture other cities really don’t have. It’s a grassroots effort that’s badass, crude, and brash—like the city itself. Our first show was at a birthday party in someone’s apartment, put together as a joke, but everyone had a great time. All of our friends’ bands played, and we started doing more shows from there. The first four or five were stopped by police. There were a couple times they were called for noise complaints, and the cops would stay and watch [laughs].

“I didn’t think we’d ever be allowed in a legit venue. When we were on loading docks, we had to move dumpsters and someone was scratched by a rat. It was pretty ramshackle. We never thought we would ever do a ‘real’ show. We started charging at the door to make up the money for supplies, and we ended up with more money than we knew what to do with, so we thought the best thing to do was give it to charity. The Chicago Women’s Health Center has been our charity from the start.”

Ingrid Hansen, a.k.a. Calamity Pain

“Before, there was no venue. We wrestled in warehouses or on the street. There were no real rules. We had rules for safety, but if someone’s top fell off, we weren’t in a public establishment. The costumes have gotten more intricate, and the organization itself is more organized. We’ve adapted. It was only mud in the beginning, but the founder created a recipe for blood, and we decided to use slime. The creative members of Mud Queens are always adding elements to the show.”

Carly Huizenga, a.k.a. Babe Brute

“There’s a stereotype that women aren’t as strong—that women have inner strength, but not physical strength. All of us are strong women trying to help other women. We’re all different sizes and shapes. You are welcome with us. I’m not a loud person. I’m not very confident in my normal, regular life. That is completely different when I’m wrestling. I get to push my body and express all my energy, more than when I’m just working out. After I’ve let out all that aggression, I feel calm.”

The Mud Queens are always looking for “new blood,” fresh faces, and big characters. The 2018 season is over, but wrestling will pick back up in the spring.

Wet and messy fighting

Perhaps, one of the most popular forms of female entertaining wrestling is mud wrestling in or wrestling in various liquid and semi-viscous substances, such as water, oil, mud, shaving foam, custard pudding, chocolate sauce, squirty cream, non-dairy creamer, jelly, etc. There is another popular form of wrestling in substances – coleslaw wrestling. Although coleslaw girl wrestlers remind a delicious dish with coleslaw garnish , the competitions are very real.

Wrestling in substances usually involves women who typically wear minimal clothing with the overall intention of presenting a titillating spectacle. Nevertheless, sometimes, wrestling matches in substances (especially, mud wrestling) are quite competitive.

As a matter of fact, wrestling in substances is far from being a modern entertainment. It would be adequate to list just two old traditional wrestling forms: Turkish oil wrestling Yagli Gures and Indian mud wrestling Kusti.

The very first and the most popular form of wrestling in substance is mud wrestling. In fact, this is the Western version of ancient Indian wrestling “Kusti” (for followers of Hinduism and Zoroastrism mud is kind of sacred substance). Mud wrestling first became popular in the United States in the 1980’s, and later spread worldwide. The legendary Pro Wrestling promoter Paul Boesch is credited with the invention of mud wrestling being a modification of the ancient sport of kusti. Although originally performed in bars, nightclubs, and strip clubs, mud wrestling is now a mainstream to the point where organizations have staged mud wrestling events everywhere – from parks to stadiums – for fun, competitions and charity.

There is another athletic prototype of this “combative” form – Yagli Gures, the Turkish national sport, commonly known as oil wrestling. In fact, there is usually very liitle athletic and competitive element in female wrestling in substance. However, if it exists (see for example, the videoclip “oil wrestling” below) it pretty resembles the Turkish oil wrestling. The main peculiarity of such a contest is that an opponent slips away, so special wrestling techniques are required.

Most often qualifying competitors have significant physical endowments or sex appeal. Venues for competition are usually social in nature with spectators comprised mostly of inebriated males. However, in many cases, wrestling in substances is a fling and both sides have great fun – participants and spectators.

Wrestling in substance is somehow related to the so-called “wet and messy fetish” (WAM) – a form of sexual fetishism that has a person getting aroused by substances applied on the body. It also could occur when seeing someone else getting wet and/or messy or just wet clothes, or any combination of the above. The fetish inspired the “wet T-shirt contests”, a form of beauty contest in which the participating women wear a white or light-colored T-shirt without a bra, while being sprayed with water to make their clothing semi-transparent and slinky.

Some advantages of such styles can be noticed. First, shining wet bodies look even more attractive. Then, lubrication reduces frictions of contestants’ bodies. Besides, the mud wrestling helps to hide nudity a bit.

Mud or oil wrestling matches are often held in restaurants, in clubs or outdoor. A special “ring” is installed which usually constitutes a small pool or a tub where some substance is placed. Another way – to anoint contestants’ bodies with oil before a match. Sometimes even boxing matches take place in substances (like the animation below represents). Whole WEB sites are dedicated to mud / oil wrestling, , for instance “KGB”.

One more popular form of wrestling in liquid substances is various contests in water. A lot of forms exist here. For instance, wrestling in sumo-like style on a small raft installed in the middle of a swimming pool where losers fall (sometimes even the both contestants). Another case is a “horse battle” in a reservoir where girls are struggling “horseback” sitting on the shoulders of their partners (of either sex) and trying to take their opponents down into the water. Even underwater wrestling exists (with aqualungs and even without them). Female battle in reservoir is a popular subject in movies. On a DWW festival two girls engaged in impressive wrestling match in a small pond. In our opinion the shot of the match is one of the best among photographs devoted to women and sports.

It’s easy to wrestle being in water, it’s an excellent shock absorber, and it makes wrestling more soft and pleasant. To complete the picture we can also consider wrestling in sand, which is a popular fun; represented in movies as well. Such a wrestling match is described in the story “Bout under the moon” on this site.

Such matches usually go half in jest and they always have some element of confusion, which contributes additional flavor to female wrestling matches.

Wrestling’s Awesome Health Benefits

All types of sports have a lot of benefits, and wrestling is no different. This sport has been around for ages, and it is only growing in popularity, especially in the United States. While there is a performance element to it at times, it could also improve not only your body but your mind too.

Mental Benefits of Wrestling

Something that is often overlooked when it comes to wrestling is that it is not only about getting your body into shape but your mind too. Wrestlers, like many athletes, are focused and in the moment. Everything surrounding the ring should be like a blur with muted sound.

The reasoning behind this focus is that wrestlers have to react quickly while performing calculated motions. It is through this that many of them sharpen their minds. Plus, their mental health could also improve. They learn self-discipline, self-resilience, as well as get a boost in confidence while they are training and living the wrestler’s lifestyle.

Wrestling also encourages sportsmanship. This sport encourages respect for other wrestlers even if you lose. This is the purpose of it regardless of what sports news may sometimes tell you. Therefore, wrestling is more of a team sport than the media leads us to believe.

Full-Body Workout

Another great thing about wrestling is that it is a full-body workout. As any physical education teacher will tell you, embracing a full-body workout routine is more beneficial than only focusing on certain body parts.

During wrestling training, you are using your entire body to fight. This means that you are pushing, pulling, and moving your body all over the place, getting a superb workout. Plus, this can lead to a balanced body where you will not experience any pain. The pain usually comes from a fairly inadequate training routine. Plus, you will discover muscles you never knew you had or awaken those that have been “asleep” for a long time.

Men’s health is not only about getting a good-looking body but about getting a healthy and well-balanced one too. Doing a full-body workout can also improve your blood pressure, which can help you live a longer and healthier life.

Cardio

While a full-body workout is great, it will not go far without a healthy dose of cardio. It gets your heart racing. Moreover, wrestling provides you with a cardio routine that is not boring. Wrestling training often involves high-intensity alternatives to boring cardio exercises.

Every sportsperson includes cardio in their training. It is one of the main ways to increase your fitness levels as well as burn fat. Different types of sports may require different amounts of it. For example, there is less cardio when a golfer is playing the Augusta National. However, they are still walking, which is a slower type of cardio. Even horse racing involves some amount of cardio.

Players in the Premier League would have to do a lot of cardio when compared to the previously mentioned sports. The same would go for baseball and anything that involves running.

So it is not a surprise that wrestling is a great cardio exercise. However, it could be seen as somewhat in between the examples we have mentioned above. So you can enjoy wrestling while warding off heart disease.

Increased Strength and Endurance

When you work out regularly, you see progress in terms of fitness, strength, endurance, and even weight loss. This can be noticed a lot more in wrestling training. You will improve your strength due to the intense sessions of working out. Therefore, you will also notice an increase in the speed of your movements as well as the power behind them.

Plus, your cardiovascular endurance will also increase. Other than that, your lung capacity will also get heightened, which can lead to having a healthier heart. This is because your heart will work harder to pump oxygen and blood targeting your muscles. Therefore, your heart will get stronger since it will have to pump to get blood to a lot of different muscle groups that you use while you train.

Another advantage to wrestling is that you are less likely to get out of breath on a run or when doing anything strenuous. Also, it will be easier to do any other type of workout that you want to take on outside of wrestling.

Increased Calorie Burn

When you work out, you burn calories. However, with wrestling, you will burn them off even faster. This can mean that the amount that you burn is higher than what you consume. Wrestlers can burn about 400 calories in a match that is six minutes long.

After the match, your body still experiences a high metabolic rate. Therefore, you can burn off calories long after the match has ended. So if you’re looking for a fat-burning activity, wrestling is a great choice.

Routine

Wrestling also encourages people to have adequate sleep schedules to regain their energy. Plus, wrestlers need to create a dedicated and stable routine. This can include healthy eating as well as sticking to their workout sessions and routines. So wrestling can help you create a healthy everyday routine that will make you feel great.

This is what can give you the sense that your mental, physical, and even spiritual states are improving. You will be able to sleep better, achieve more, and look forward to the time ahead. Wrestling can improve so many aspects of your life outside the ring, which leads us to the next part.

Wrestler’s Lifestyle

Many wrestlers often opt to extend their training outside of their usual workout sessions. This could include cardio or weight lifting. Plus, if you have a clear goal, then you may be less likely to eat terrible late-night snacks, which are bad for your health and physique. Instead, your body will start to crave body-nourishing foods and a lot of water.

You would have to adopt a rich nutrient diet so that you have enough energy to get you through the training sessions. This is what gives your body power. It can lead to a happy and healthy lifestyle.

Final Word

Wrestling has many health benefits outside of building strength. It could help you become a fitter and happier person who enjoys life to the fullest. Your body will be stronger and more balanced, but so will your mind. We strongly encourage you to try it — you won’t regret it!

Women Reveal Their First-Time Experience with Yoni Eggs

Yoni eggs or even jade eggs have been used in Eastern cultures for centuries. They are small, egg-shaped gems that are introduced and stay in the vagina. Benefits of rose quartz yoni egg are numerous. This gently trains the pelvic floor as it has to keep the light weight active.

“Yoni” in Sanskrit means “Venerable Place” and is used for the female lap and the womb. Like every muscle, the pelvic floor should be trained and the yoni egg makes it very gentle. For the particularly weak pelvic floor (e.g. after a birth) it is recommended to start at night or during the day 1-2 hours. But honestly, the egg tells you when it’s enough!

More Sensitivity through a Yoni Egg

The pelvic floor training is not all. The uro-genital system and the pelvic floor muscles support the sexual organs. Using the Yoni Egg will help them all. Increased sensitivity allows you to better control that part of your body. As we know, there is more than just this one G-spot. So many sensitive points in the vaginal canal are gently awakened by the yoni egg.

How does the egg come out again?

In most yoni eggs, there is a small channel for threading floss as a retrieval thread (known from the tampon) (but no menthol, please). Since I’m not a fan of return threads anyway, that suits me and Violeta also emailed me a guide on how to get the egg out again.

All eggs from Yoni Egg Rocks are fair trade produced, free from chemicals and handmade in Bali. On the Indonesian island, they are also blessed by a high priestess before they begin their journey into the world.

The yoni egg logs when it wants to get out

The egg logs when it wants to get out. At this time you can found the statement funny, but at the time of use you can fully confirm that. Sometimes even you can forget the egg for half a day and suddenly a slight tug in the pelvic floor and it announces that it is time. Then just go to the bathroom and receive it.

How is the yoni egg cleaned?

If you got your yoni egg, you should sterilize it. It is best to use boiled, lukewarm water for this! If the water is too hot, the stone may break. Add some high quality salt. Completely dip your yoni egg into a container but not a plastic one. Keep it in the water for 15 minutes. Please do not use soap, brushes or cleaners. An occasional apple vinegar polish makes it shine beautifully.

And what is the egg doing now? Personally, feel like it is training your pelvic floor. He is weaker on the right, harder on the left. Somehow, the egg compensates, so that you no longer have any pain while wearing it. In addition, a kind of energetic cleaning takes place. Your lap then feels calmer, more peaceful and gentle, and a sense of well-being comes along.

Many women have difficulty getting to the point of masturbation or sexual intercourse right away. In addition to psychological causes such as stress and tension, this can also have physical causes. Getting to know your body better and strengthening the vaginal muscles is a great way to experience more intense orgasms. There are aids such as love balls and pelvic floor gymnastics, but also a particularly fascinating utensil: the yoni egg. We’ll tell you what’s up with this pretty gemstone gem.

That a strengthened pelvic floor muscles can help not only with incontinence after a pregnancy, but also during sex, you may have heard before. However, very few women practice the fitness exercises that also strengthen the vaginal muscles. For others, they simply do not show the desired results. It is much easier, if you strengthen your muscles with aids. These are just like the yoni egg introduced and strengthen the muscles almost automatically. How exactly this works, why a strengthened musculature brings you better orgasms and why everyone is riding on yoni eggs, you will find out here.

Yoni egg exercises

For training with the yoni egg you do not even have to wear sportswear!

The story behind the yoni egg

Yoni eggs are also known as jade or love eggs. Its name comes from Sanskrit and refers to the female genitals, but at the same time also means something like “holy place”. The egg-shaped gems were used more than 5,000 years ago in China because it was believed that yoni eggs from jade stones, in particular, retain female sexual power and sensuality. Yoni eggs can also be other gems like rose quartz or black obsidian. However, green nephrite jade in particular has a healing and invigorating effect in traditional Chinese culture. The noble eggs are therefore more than just a disreputable utensil for strengthening the vaginal muscles. Some even call eggs a positive effect on female sexuality when worn outside the body.

Intense orgasms thanks to strengthened vaginal muscles

Even if you have no problems getting to the climax, strengthening the vaginal muscles can improve your orgasms even more. With a pronounced pelvic floor muscles, you can control your body much better during sex and get a more conscious feeling for your anatomy. Training with a yoni egg is quite simple: You introduce it into your vagina and the weight of the stone causes your muscles to contract automatically. Only if your pelvic floor muscles are much weakened, such as after a pregnancy, you will need some practice to hold the yoni egg in your vagina.

With the inserted egg, you can now contract and release your vaginal muscles alternately. Advanced yoni egg users do these exercises in different positions with knees bent, legs outstretched or even alternately by the tension of the left and right vaginal muscles – yes, that’s possible too! These exercises may seem boring and inconspicuous to you at first, but over time you will notice how the training affects your sensitivity during masturbation or during sex.

Why everyone is going to yoni eggs?

As already mentioned, there are other utensils for pelvic floor muscle training. Well-known are love balls, which consist of one or more plastic balls and are available in erotic shops. Although yoni eggs have existed for millennia, they are now gaining wider publicity in Western culture. Many women now swear by the eggs made of gemstone – probably because it is a nice idea to wear a gem instead of a piece of plastic in the vagina.

In addition, yoni eggs are made of natural materials, are polished absolutely smooth and can therefore be easily inserted. Depending on experience and trained muscles yoni eggs are offered in different sizes. Larger stones are better suited for beginners, as small stones are much harder to hold with the vaginal muscles. If you are interested, go to yonieggs.co.

On top of that you can not only choose different sizes for Yoni eggs, but also your favorite stone. You can either go for your favorite color or, if you’re a bit of an esoteric, pick a stone with a supposed effect. Since the stones are made of real gemstone and must be polished high quality, they also have their price. Rose quartz models are available from online shopping sites for around 30 dollars. For a yoni egg made of nephrite jade you have to plan about 48 dollars.

You picked up your favorite toy and do not know if you can use it with a new lubricant, or have visited a sex shop online , have bought a new toy and can’t find a lubricant for it? If know how to choose the best lube for sex toys you can easily put an end to your doubts.

Always use a lubricant.

The first thing to remember is that every sex toy needs to be lubricated. No matter how you use it, does it better with a lubricant?

Lubrication will not only add comfort but also increase safety. Think about what usually happens during sex: the body is smeared naturally, and therefore you and your partner will not be frictional. In the use of toys, you need to adhere to the same logic. Too much lubrication does not happen. Even if your body produces enough of it, a drop of lubricant on a toy will only benefit. It is better to be safe and once again moisten the device than to regret and suffer!

Choosing the right lubricant

There are 3 main types of lubricants: water-based (the most popular and universal), silicone (similar to the previous version, but they can be used in water) and from petroleum products (ideal for anal entertainment).

Water Based

Lubricants can be used with almost all vibrators, masturbation sleeves, erection rings and dildos. Their plus is that they are very easy to wash off; you just need to rinse the toy in warm water, and you’re done! And this is their main drawback – if you prefer to use the toy in the bathroom or shower, then the water-based lubricant is not your friend, it will wash out without a trace in the first few seconds.

Silicone

Lubricants Silicone Based Greases – This is the perfect choice for water entertainment. If you have waterproof toys or you just love sex in water, then silicone lubricants will become your faithful helpers. Of course, they are not sold in any pharmacy, like water-based lubricants, but you can always find such lubricants in a sex shop.

Another advantage of silicone lubricants is that they “work” for a long time. Silicone grease does not absorb or evaporate. On the other hand, this means that cleaning toys from silicone lubricants requires great effort. But do not rush to buy a sandblaster, for this you only need a soap solution.

Lubricants from petroleum products

These lubricants can be used only with non-latex anal toys and for male masturbation.They are good for anal games because they are thicker than others, which makes penetration easier. Oil-based lubricants cannot be used with latex; the oil destroys it on contact. They can also irritate the vagina, so these lubricants are not recommended for use during sex or with toys during vaginal stimulation.

How to use grease

When you bought a tube of grease, you probably want to know how to use it. In fact, it all depends on your personal preferences, but you can use several tips:

  • Always take a small amount of lubricant, rub it in your hand and then apply it on the toy and on the body;
  • Lubricate the head and barrel of the vibrator or dildo. Clitoral and anal stimulants  also need to be lubricated;
  • It is necessary to lubricate the toy so that it is wet, but it does not drip. Be careful and make sure that the lubricant is applied to the toy and not soaked into the hand (this applies mainly to water-based lubricants);
  • If you are a man who uses a masturbator, then you need to apply grease with your fingers on the entrance of the toy and its inner surface. Since most of the masturbators on the other end have a small hole, you hardly want the lubricant to flow out of the sleeve, so you should not get carried away – if necessary, you can always add more lubricant;
  • If the lubricant is dry during use, add more.

How much lubricant is needed?

The amount of lubricant depends on your preference. If the toy does not slide enough, then this most likely means that you need more lubrication. Some people like plentifully greased toys, while others prefer to apply lubricant only to reduce friction. The first time is to experiment with different amounts to find out how you like the most.

Lubricants on the body

Like massage oils, it is undesirable to apply lubricants directly to yourself or your partner – you will feel cold, and many people do not like it. Pre-rub the grease in your palm and heat to body temperature.

Sharing toys

If you use a toy, such as a vibrating erection ring, together with a partner, you need to lubricate everything! Of course, the first step is to apply a lubricant on the penis and then on all the stimulating parts of the ring and the genitals of the second partner.

Today there are many lubricants of different consistencies, colors and even tastes and to find the one that suits you best experimentally. Think about what you need from the lubricant, will you have a negative reaction to it (sometimes flavored lubricants can cause candidiasis), and how will it be used: during sex, masturbation, water games? If you are interested in a particular lubricant, then buy a sample or the smallest tube so that you don’t waste money on the wind if it doesn’t suit you. If you have questions go to lovegasm for more details

You must read the composition

As well, how do you read the composition of the products in the store, carefully study the label lubricant? Avoid synthetic fragrances, parabens and propylene glycol. Also, beware of flavored lubricants – even with the most delicious names! They sound harmless but may surprise you with unwanted side effects.

Not all lubricants are the same.

In principle, there are two main types: water-based and silicone. It can even be a mixture of both! Honor on the tube, with some types of condoms they can be used. Silicone lubricants are the most slippery, in contrast to the water base , which is more sticky and does not stay on the skin for very long. Also, silicone lubricants are hypoallergenic, which for some may be the principal point. But water-based lubricants are more natural and better combined with organic body fluids.

You can check it on hand

In the sex shop, there must be a tester so that you can try a lubricant – of course, so far only on your hands. So you will understand, how comfortable lubrication felt on the skin, sticky or not , and of how easy it is then washed off.

How Many Products Are Made Out of Latex

Latex is characterized above all by a high elasticity. Which results in an ability to adapt to the most fruitful environment? Both properties form a hard and flexible material at the same time, widely used in the manufacture of mattresses and other comfort surfaces. Breathability is another of the most used features, as well as durability and it’sin deformable nature.

Where does latex come from?

Health is one of the fields that most resorts to the use of latex.

Applications

Since its discovery in 1736 by the French botanist Charles Marie de la Cond amine, the use of latex has spread to more than 40,000 products from different fields. As for example, the sanitary field. All the prevention items used in the hospital are made of rubber: gloves, masks, probes, enemas, catheters, plasters. The textile industry has also taken an incredible advantage of this element, especially in the sports and bathing environment. The characterization and make-up, the market for condoms, school equipment and the motor world are other applications related to latex. What products contain latex? Your will know that also.

However, among all of them, alternative medicine stands out, which attributes various healing properties to this ingredient. The effects depend on the plant species from which it comes. In the case of the reddish latex of the genus Croton, we are facing an exceptional scar. Which also helps with stomach ulcers? The latex of the fruit of the papaya is very good to end with the intestinal worms. While the orange variety heals warts and herpes. In the face of all these achievements, we often forget its authentic nature, which in many cases can be harmful to health. Therefore, it is important to know all the varieties beforehand, as well as their main properties and functions.

Latex is a white liquid, a mixture of rubber particles in water. You can process the liquid into rubber. The further processing of rubber depends on the desired properties; rubber has many applications. Rubber is in benches, chairs, cushions, mattresses, boots and bicycle tires and soothers, but rubber bands are also rubber bands. Rubber provides resilience, so you can sit comfortably and your boots are supple.

Current situation

Natural rubber is extracted from the rubber tree: Heave Brasiliensis. Synthetic rubber comes from petroleum. Natural rubber is a mixture of many hundreds of natural rubber particles and proteins. These proteins can cause a (skin) allergy. Some people are allergic to natural rubber. That is why, for example, surgical gloves are used for synthetic rubber.

Natural rubber is much stronger, but on the other hand it also ages faster than synthetic rubber and then, for example, pieces can break off. Or think of an old rubber band; that is sometimes hard and crumbly.

Risk explanation

Products with latex in it are in normal use      Safe   to use for babies, children and adults. Some people are allergic to natural rubber. They react to rubber in a product and suffer from skin rash, itching, bumps or irritated mucous membranes and have a so-called contact allergy.

Allergy

If you have a contact allergy for natural rubber, it is better to opt for a product made from synthetic rubber. On the label of the product you will find an overview of the ingredients.

Latex allergy is an allergic reaction to proteins that occur in latex. Latex is made from a milky liquid from rubber trees. Latex allergy occurs when the body confuses latex for a harmful substance.

Insight into latex allergy and knowledge of which products contain latex can help prevent allergic reactions.

Latex allergy symptoms

People who are allergic to latex get an allergic reaction in most cases after being in contact with latex allergy and latex gloves latex rubber gloves. Allergic reaction can also be caused by inhaling air containing small latex particles. The particles are released when someone puts on or off latex gloves, for example. Latex allergy symptoms range from mild to severe. It depends on the sensitivity (the severity of the latex allergy) and the degree of exposure to latex. Allergic reaction may worsen with exposure to and contact with latex. For example, people working with latex gloves daily have an increased risk of developing latex allergy symptoms.

Mild latex allergy symptoms

In case of a mild case of latex allergy, the symptoms are usually:

  • Itching
  • Redness and irritation of the skin
  • Hives or skin rashes

Slightly more severe latex allergy symptoms

In a slightly more severe allergic reaction to latex, a number of symptoms are added. In a slightly more serious, but not directly life-threatening case of latex allergy, the symptoms include the following:

  • Running nose
  • Cough
  • To sneeze
  • Hoarse / sore throat
  • Itchy / watery eyes
  • Difficulty in breathing / wheezing

Anaphylactic shock symptoms

Anaphylactic shock can be fatal. Anaphylactic reactions can occur immediately in highly allergic people after exposure to latex. Anaphylaxis, however, rarely occurs with the first exposure to latex.

Symptoms of anaphylaxis include:

  • Difficulty breathing
  • Hives or swelling
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • A wheezing
  • Drop of blood pressure
  • Dizziness
  • Loss of consciousness
  • Confusion
  • A fast or a weak pulse

When should I consult the doctor about latex allergy?

Seek urgent medical attention immediately if you suspect an anaphylactic reaction.

It is convenient to visit the doctor during a latex allergy reaction. The symptoms themselves can see and examine will help the doctor to make the diagnosis.

  • Causes of latex allergy
  • Latex allergy antibodies
  • In the case of latex allergy, the body makes antibodies.

In latex allergy, the immune system incorrectly identifies latex as a harmful substance. The immune system then makes certain antibodies to combat the allergen. At the next exposure to latex the body makes antibodies again. This signals the immune system to release histamine and other chemicals in the bloodstream. It is the histamine and other substances that cause the symptoms and symptoms. The more exposure to latex, the greater the chance that the immune system starts to react by making antibodies against latex. (The hypersensitivity to a certain allergen is called ‘allergic sensitization’)

How is latex allergy caused?

By breathing latex. Latex products, especially gloves, emit small particles of latex. The particles are released into the air and are inhaled. The amount of latex released from gloves is very different depending on the brand of gloves. For more information, visit Laidtex.
