If you think lube is only for older women and trips to the gyno, you are seriously mistaken. The truth is, the majority of men and women have used commercial lubricants during sex, according to two recent studies published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine.
Both studies used data from the 2012 National Survey of Sexual Health and Behavior to survey a nationally representative sample of men and women over 18. In one study, researchers looked at how and why men use the slick stuff. They found that 70 percent of all men had used lube before, with 25.4 percent using it in the last month. Men in relationships and over the age of 24 were more likely to use it than other guys, and most men said they used it “for fun” or “to make sex more comfortable.”

So why are lube users such huge fans of the stuff? Most men and women reported that it makes sex feel better and makes it easier to get aroused. Another study found that nearly 50 percent of people who’ve used lube said it made it easier to orgasm. Well, we’re sold.
