Diet Chocolate?

Lubricant Lickeurs Chocolate Strawberry is a good fairly long lasting lube, that is not only flavored but safe for vaginal use as it contains no parabens, sugar or glycerin. Its herbal ingredients are said to have aphrodisiac properties, though they do contribute to a slightly bitter 'diet' sort of taste. It's good if you regularly use artificial sweeteners, or consume diet soft drinks. Safe for diabetic use.

Use

Lubricant Lickeurs being a flavored lube, is best used and likely intended for oral sex. Since it's glycerin, sugar, and paraben free, as well as being water based, it can also be used for vaginal sex, masturbation, anal sex and toy use. It's also compatible with latex condoms.

It does contain some herbal/natural ingredients such as stevia (a sweetener), ginseng and horny goat weed (which is said to have aphrodisiac properties). So if you think you may be sensitive or allergic to any of those things, it's best to avoid this lube.

Texture / Consistency / Thickness / Viscosity

This lube, a brownish liquid, is oddly thick yet runny. It's not gel thick, but it is thicker than a lot of water based lubes. It is kind of like a thick cough syrup. At the same time, it runs out of it's bottle and down the skin quite easily like a much thinner liquid would. I suggest moving quickly when you use this lube as it doesn't stay where you put it for more than a second or two.

The thinness is a plus when it comes to oral sex as you don't want a mouthful of gooey, thick nastiness, and it helps it to spread easily. It's less of a plus if you decide to use this as a vaginal, anal or masturbation lube since it runs a bit.

On the skin it feels slippery, yet not what I would call slick. With friction, it lasts about as long as any other average quality lube, though it does tend to dry to a tacky stickiness and definitely needs to be washed off.

Taste / Aroma

The scent of this lube (I got the chocolate strawberry) is wonderful. Heavenly. It's like a rich, sweet chocolate with a hint of berry. It really smells quite true to life; like a fresh dipped strawberry where the chocolate almost, but not quite, covers the aroma of the fruit.

It's a mild scent and can't be detected once it's away from the nose/face, however.

The taste...

The taste is very diet. Like diet soda when they still used saccharin. It's not just an aftertaste but is instantly detected upon your tongue. The chocolate is barely noticeable as a flavor because the taste of the sweetener and herbs overwhelms it.

With many flavored lubes the taste gets better as it sits on the skin, as you become used to it, as it disperses a bit. Chemical/sugar free after tastes fade. Not so with this one. If the flavor is unappealing to you it's going to remain unappealing as it doesn't fade or change.

Performance

Lubricant Lickeurs performed fairly well. It lasted an average amount of time and can be reactivated with water, natural lubrication or saliva. This comes in handy during oral sex as it slightly combats the stickiness - though you're going to have some by the time you're done.

Clean up is easy but necessary. This is not the sort of lube you want to pass out in post coital bliss still wearing. You'll wake up quite tacky. A warm, damp washcloth will fix you right up, however.

Personal comments

I've really struggled with this review because I believe the lube is probably better than I'm thinking it is. It really does work well for sex and masturbation. It's not super or excellent, but it's good. I've said it before... good is good. We give good much less credit than it deserves.

However, it's difficult for me to judge how this truly performs in it's intended use as a flavored oral lubricant because the taste was exceptionally off putting and straight out foul to me. I don't like chocolate (there was a mix up in the flavors and I got the wrong one). I don't use artificial sweeteners. I don't drink diet beverages. I'm not much of a fan of the taste of most herbals. For me it was just a no win sort of situation.

I think if you're a regular drinker of diet soda, or user of artificial sweeteners and like chocolate, you may enjoy this lube. I like the way it works for toy use, and enjoy the addition of the chocolaty aroma and the fact that it's free of "bad" ingredients. I just really dislike the taste.
Follow-up commentary
Perhaps it's just me. Perhaps it's just that I dislike chocolate. Perhaps it's just that I dislike a diet soda sort of taste. I don't know, can't say. But this lube is, to me, quite horrible. It was initially, it still is.

However, it has gotten good reviews in other flavors so, while I loathe it, I do think it may be worth a shot for those who are accustomed to drinking diet soft drinks or those who like chocolate.

Hathor Aphrodisia has an excellent reputation and, despite not liking this lube at all, I'd definitely try others by them.
