Astroglide's been mentioned several times as a lubricant for painful
intercourse.  There are numerous other personal lubricants on the market.  The
names of some of them should provide Evi and others with a grin, a smile,
maybe even a belly laugh.  Ones I've heard of are: Prepare, Foreplay,
Aqualube, Comfort, Slippery Stuff, Probe, and Wet.  Several come in 2
varieties: plain or plus (plus contains non-oxynol 9).   I don't want you all
thinking I've got a drawer full of the above <giggle> -  my son's a human
sexuality educator and so I've become aware of some of these through his work.
 There's another called Emotion Lotion which is available in flavors, and
Elbow Grease (specifically marketed to gay men).   If you're smiling now,
imagine the meetings during which brainstorming takes place to name these
products!  So, Evi, you thought Astroglide's name was funny?  ; ))))
