S2 Ep98: Is your Lubricant HELPING or HURTING Your Vagina?

Lubricants can be water based, oil based, silicone based, CBD infused, flavored...not to mention the ones that claim to elevate your orgasm and boost your libido.  Not all lubricants are created equal, and the first lubricant you grab, probably won’t get you slip sliding away, and even worse, may end up damaging and dehydrating vaginal tissue.
