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? ; )))) Joyce Blangiardo RN, FACCE, IBCLC
