For a long time I used another water-based lube (which Eden Fantasys doesn't sell) which the seller insisted was long lasting and perfect for anal play. I found that I needed to use a ton and that it dried up within minutes. I really felt like anal sex was simply destined to be a frustrating and awkward experience for me. Especially when I was first experimenting with it with my partner, the last thing I wanted was to have to say "Ah! Stop. I'm all dried up." Finally I discovered Maximus and there's been no looking back. It makes me forget that my butt doesn't lubricate itself. Looking through the other nearly 200 reviews, there's not much to be said about Maximus that hasn't already been said by other contributors. So, instead, I submit to you, this sonnet.

I like to have things in my derriere,
Some long, some big and wide, some curved, some knobbed.
But as things stand it's rather dry in there.
Oh penetration! Will I thus be robbed?

Some oil perhaps, to make my bottom slick?
It's cheap, and slides and holds up well enough.
Yet no protection may make someone sick,
And condoms would not hold up to such stuff.

Then silicon? I'd only need a tad,
Enduring through my most tempestuous joys.
And silkier elixirs can't be had.
Alas, it would not play well with my toys.

Oh Maximus! You safely lubricate
Sans smell or tack--for anal, damn, you're great!


It's not my favorite lube to use for vaginal, and it definitely falls short as a jerk-off lube, but I really couldn't ask for more than Maximus provides in the way of anal. I also really like the fact that it comes in a rather unprovocative container with a pump. Aside from going out of their way to make it look like something it's not, Maximus couldn't have really made the bottle look more innocuous.

It may be hard to believe if you've used other water-based lubes, but when they say it doesn't turn sticky, they really mean it doesn't. I took a dollop and rubbed it into one of my hands. After a long amount of rubbing, it finally dried up. And behold! No trace of it remained. There is no tangible difference between my clean hand and the hand I rubbed it into. No stickiness, no stiffness, no smell, nothing.
