When CBD is used topically on inimate skin it can heighten sensitivity without warming or tingling like other stimulating products. Not that there’s anything wrong with those, they certainly have their place in the stimulation buffet, but they aren’t for everyone. CBD can helps add blood flow which can not only help you reach orgasm, but intensify your orgasms. And this is for folks of any genital configurations! CBD is known to be a vasodilator which means it increases blood flow to the blood vessels. Unfortunately I can’t say it is for sure because it hasn’t been studied enough yet, but I’ve tried it personally and I enjoyed Honeypot and the extra sensitivity it produced.
So what are you to do if you’re looking for a lubricant that’s going to increase blood flow and sensitivity without all the bells and whistles of the sensation gels or oils that warm up or tingle when applied. CBD is also an anti-inflammatory and has been known to aid in decreasing muscle tension. Particularly when it comes to the pelvic floor, people can often carry tension that they are unaware of, either from how you stand, old injuries, sexual trauma, or even scar tissue to name a few.
Honeypot CBD infused silicone lube was great for hand stimulation and pleasure mapping to understand your own genitals better. After all, the better you know your own anatomy, the better you can relay how to please you to another person. Also knowing your body helps keep you in tune for when things change and get thrown out of whack. Honeypot CBD infused silicone lube is great for intimate exploration because the pump is easy to dole out while your hands get slippery to explore your intimate areas, you can still pump more out without having to struggle with any awkward packaging.
Why Silicone Lube?
Silicone lube is ideal for hand stimulation because it doesn’t get absorbed into the skin. So it stay nice and slippery without having to reapply as much and as often. Silicone lube is also free of irritants that water based lubes are typically plagued with like glycerin and glycol. So Honeypot CBD infused silicone lube is great for folks who have very sensitive skin.
Silicone is also great for exploring in the water since it doesn’t just wash away. This lubricant stays put and will keep moist in the water, so perfect for exploring while in bath or it’s perfect for exploring the backdoor! Honeypot is a middle thickness texture so if you’re looking for thin this might not be the best choice for you, but the thicker formula isn’t runny and tends to last longer.
Remember to Breathe
Remember, stay relaxed, focus on your breathing and, after slathering your fingers with lube start gently massaging yourself all over. Begin with your chest,nipples, stomach, and thighs, then ease your way down to the genital area. Slowly, softly stroke along the entire area, paying attention to all of the different parts. While you don’t necessarily need a mirror it can be helpful for you to see everything and get a good idea of your anatomy. This can be more about touch experience and doesn’t have to be visual, but feel free to position yourself with a mirror in front of you. You’ll want to have both hands free, so make sure the mirror can stand on its own. Pay close attention to how your body reacts to individual stimulation of each area. By doing this, you can gauge when you’re ready for more. Whether it’s more intense rubbing with your fingers or adding penetration, continue experimenting.
Touch Tips
When you know how to make your body feel good, it’s easier to understand your turn-ons and turn-offs, and can make orgasms more easily achievable. It simply involves setting aside time for some self-care and taking some specific intentional exploration with your hands to touch the external and internal areas of your intimate anatomy, all while being mindful of how each part feels and the sensations you experience.
For penis owners I recommend trying different tension, grip, angles and hand positioning while you explore. Change up what you are doing. Try shifting between different areas, combining different kinds of touch, changing pressure and quality of touch, speed, direct and indirect approaches.
For vulva owners try circles, zig zags, tapping and different pressures. Make sure to try them on different parts of your vulva and take note of how the different sensations feel at different stages of your arousal.
Some considerations
The one drawback of using this particular CBD lube is that because it’s silicone that means you can’t use your favorite silicone toys with it. So you’ll have to stick to either stainless steel, glass, or plastic toys, or just use it for skin to skin contact and sex in the water.
The one other thing about silicone lube is you have to make sure you don’t let it get everywhere because silicone can stain your sheets. So you either need to invest in a Liberator Throe, and just make sure you always remember to put it down, or know that you might need to replace your sheets every so often because the silicone lube stained it and you need to replace them. It happens to the best of us.
