The Kama Sutra Original Oil of Love|Oil of love was one of the first sensual warming lubricants that I ever used and is still my number one choice. I usually don’t like flavored products, finding them either too sweet, artificially flavored, or that they leave an unpleasant after taste. The Oil of Love is none of the above, and is delicious. The scent and flavor is quite unique, unlike any other product I have tried. It is a blend of spicy-sweet—a delicate combination of vanilla, chocolate and a dash of cinnamonum cassia leaf oil (a cinnamon tasting oil that is used for flavoring chocolate and liqueurs). It is packaged in a clear, corked, glass bottle which comes in a designer tin canister, both of which make attractive and discrete displays in your bedroom or bathroom.

The “oil” itself is thick and not oil at all, but a water-based product that has a syrupy texture. It provides a subtle warmth when massaged into the skin, which is enhanced with blowing or licking. It feels very sensual on the erogenous zones, such as the nipples and genitals, and is specifically designed with oral play in mind. In fact, I would not suggest using it for full body massage because of its rather sticky consistency, but highly recommend for enhancing intimacy on areas you want to kiss, lick or suck.

I have very sensitive skin and did not have any adverse reactions to this product, unlike the Kama Sutra Pleasure Balm|Tangerine pleasure balm (Spearmint) which burned my genitals on contact. I found the Oil of Love to be extremely pleasurable and use it for fellatio|Expert Guide to Oral Sex: Fellatio, cunnilingus|Expert Guide to Oral Sex: Cunnilingus and masturbation exclusively. Although it is promoted as “latex safe” and can be used with condoms, it is labeled “for external use only”, so I did not use this product for intercourse. Due to its syrupy nature I suspected that it contained a sugar which it does (glycerin and sucrose), so I would not recommend it for women who may be prone to yeast infections as sugars are known to promote yeast growth.

The Oil of Love comes in several different flavors including Original (my favorite), Cherry Almond, Raspberry Kiss, Vanilla Creme, Ambrosia, Tangerine, Strawberries and Champagne, and Tropical Mango.
