As I mentioned in my Boy Butter review a few months back, oil-based lube and masturbation cream are not really my thing. Being uncut, I don't generally need, or even like, lube when I masturbate. And since it is certainly not condom compatible, I usually would not have any use for it. However, the idea of the leather scent sparked my interest with this stuff.

I will say that I'm not wild about the ID brand in general. I've become a bit of a lube and toy snob over the last year, and prefer companies that take care to make their products body-safe. Since the container doesn't say "paraben free", I have no reason to believe that it isn't festering with the stuff. But since it's for external use only, how much damage could it really do? I also applaud ID for not stating that it would make a great anal lube, because I fill with rage whenever something that not latex-compatible is advertised for anal use.

I expected to open the container and have my room be completely overpowered by that artificial aroma of leather, but I actually had to hold the jar close to my nose to smell it. The scent is clearly that of leather, and it's quite realistic, but in liquid form it reminds me of shoe polish. Which may be a turn on for some people.

Although the ingredients are completely different, the texture of the cream was very similar to Boy Butter. And although I said I don't like lube when I masturbate, I must say I had a very pleasant experience with it. However, I would only recommend the leather scent to those who are REALLY into leather and get turned on by the smell of it. If you aren't into leather, I would seek out a different product.
