Big overreaction to an erection

Of course I assume in real life he knew the difference.

LOL!!! Twice the size of his erect penis, I should have said.

Just don't try and set yourself on fire

Thanks. Wouldn't it be best to go to a health food store to buy it, rather than a grocery store to make sure it is a brand with no impurities?

I've purchased pure coconut oil at Walmart. It lists the ingredients as: coconut oil. That's all nothing else added, just pure coconut oil. So unless I am missing something, I wouldn't think you need to go to a health food store.

I checked the package and it says it's great for fan frying, making pop corn, delicious brownies and baked goods. However, it is not labeled as a sex lube, no mention of vaginal or anal sex anywhere on the package, so we don't use it internally. We only use it for massage and hand jobs.

I buy the extra virgin coconut oil it at whole foods - I just trust it more from there.

It's possible to miss something - while the ingredients may be coconut oil there's no discussion of how they get the coconut oil and what helper chemicals they use. Think of it a bit like the decaffeinated coffee debate - different processes use different chemicals, and some might not be so nice.

Mechanically expelled oils are considered the safest - the producer just smashes and presses the material to get the oil out.

External use only means don't eat it. Lol.

They're not really thinking about your ass when they put those warnings on there.

Any health food/supplement store should have it. Whole Foods. Even the grocery store organic section.

ScottA,

When I purchase the lubes designed and sold specifically as a sex lube(and I've bought my share) there is no discussion of all the many chemicals listed on the package or how they got them.


Since coconut oil is a food product, wouldn't they have to list any chemicals added? It clearly states "pure" coconut oil, with no other ingredients listed. We've only been using it for a few months, but I can report that there have been no side effects. Other than my wife says she prefers to use it when giving me a rub down. That's reason enough for me!

I'm not saying that people shouldn't buy it at a health food store. I'm not really concerned where people buy whatever they want, I was just stating that it is not necessary to pay extra.

Haha! I love pancakes...

OOOOO never knew that!

"External use only" means that it hasn't been evaluated for internal use and for some reason the FDA doesn't think that it is "generally recognized as safe". It means don't eat, don't inject, don't put up your nose or in your eyes, and generally keep away from mucous membranes (which includes the lining of your intestinal tract). In fact it is more important to keep unknown chemicals away from your rectum than your mouth, because there aren't the same safeguards (taste, etc.) down there.

Concentrated soap won't kill you, true (in most cases, although they have had reports in the medical press of soaps damaging the lining of the intestine and causing serious colitis), but when used for masturbation or anything that uses extended rubbing it can get uncomfortable. Externally conditioner and lotion should be fine, but I wouldn't use them internally (i.e. only for rubbing your penis or clit, not for G-spotting).

Most coconut oil should be safe unless you're sensitive. The processes are either certified or "Generally recognized as safe", but from time to time the FDA does realize that something isn't quite so safe. For all the complaints the government generally is on the ball (unless they're interfered with), so I'd say go ahead and try whatever oil you want, and if you have a problem try a different one.

Not sure exactly what the process lubes need to go through is. I know that all of the warnings on "novelty toys" are because they don't test them or guarantee their safety, whereas the quality manufacturers (Tantus, Vixen, etc.) do guarantee their safety.

Oh...god.

No im always paranoid that i will end up having to go to the dr. if i use the wrong thing

Mmmmm, waffles.
