Flavored lubes are so fantastic for a number of reasons. They can add a more pleasant smell if one of you is smelling less than perfect, and they can change up the taste for the same reason. They're also a great idea if you're into rimming to change up the flavor by the back door, and they can also be used as a yummy flavored massage aid if you want something that won't last long.

Between the fingers this lube feels very nice. Smooth, silky, and just wonderful. It can leave behind a slightly greasy feeling until the lube either dries or gets washed away. The consistency is thicker than water, but far from being a gel. If you tip it over it'll drip out a drop at a time without any real help, so you'll want to be careful when dispensing.

This lube from System JO comes in a whole bunch of different scents/flavors: tropical fruit, pineapple, tangerine, chocolate, banana, pomegranate, lemon, cherry, raspberry, strawberry, watermelon, and peach. I have the chocolate and the tropical fruit scents. The tropical fruit version smells more like a fruit flavored cough syrup to me, but tastes much better. I have a very hard time pinpointing any specific fruit flavor, but it is definitely fruit flavored. The chocolate I'm much more fond of, and to me smells like chocolate liquor. It tastes about the same, only without the alcoholic afterbite. Both flavors do have a diet-like aftertaste to them. The scent strength also varies with both, with the chocolate being easily smelled from a few feet away just with the bottle open. The tropical fruit is a little less potent, having to be close to you to really be smelled.

For a water based lube I was very impressed with this. It lasted a good amount of time for a hand job, and the flavor lasted a good amount of time for a blow job. After a few minutes I reapplied to his penis, but more to add flavor than lubrication. During sex or masturbation it hadn't needed to be reapplied by us yet, staying smooth and slippery the whole time. It lasts long enough that you could use it for massages, so long as you don't want massages that go on forever.

Neither of us really felt the need to clean it off after sex, although I could tell it had been there. Our normal quick wipe with a Kleenex took care of any irritation we might have had with anything that was left, although you can also wash it off with a damp washcloth if you want.

The bottles these come in are fantastic. There's a big red button on the front that you push and it pops the lid up. To close, just push back down and it locks into place. While traveling it is possible that the button can be accidentally pressed so keep that in mind.

The fronts of the bottles have the flavor and all of the fun advertisement lines and then on the back you have directions and warnings about discontinuing use if irritation occurs on 4 different languages. There's also a list of ingredients: propyl paraben, methyl paraben, sodium carboxy methyl cellulose, glycerin, purified water, and the flavor/aroma. Each bottle also has an expiration date and what looks like a batch number printed somewhere.

*a note of caution, these lubes contain just about every bad thing you could expose yourself to if you're prone to yeast infections or UTI's. If that's the case, you should probably avoid these lubes.

My husband often makes jokes about how much head he would get if his penis tasted like chocolate, or ice cream, or whatever tasty treat I'm in the mood for at that moment. Well with this lube, his penis really does end up tasting like chocolate, or at least enough like chocolate that I've got no problem being all over that. I also enjoy flavored lubes because I like changing things up and having different scents and all that. I have nothing wrong with how sex smells on its own, I just like the fun scents better. These lubes gave me everything I was looking for in a flavored lube and more. I'm not so fond of the tropical fruit scent or flavor, but the couple that was over when I was playing with these right after I got them liked it, so in all likeliness I'll pass that flavor on to them. Otherwise, I'm smitten!
