(psst: arousal doesn't always mean wetness, and wetness doesn't always mean arousal. either way, lube is a great way to enhance sensation, reduce risk of painful penetration, and prevent barrier tearing. so, grab yr lube, kick that red flag to the curb and get it slick, babe.)

weekend reminder: talking about what we want and need in bed isn't just for longer-term relationships, it should be for every sexual encounter - that includes flings + one night stands. casual or not, you deserve to be heard and enjoy the ride to the fullest extent 💖
