5. Wet Water-Based Premium Lubricant

5. Wet Water-Based Premium Lubricant

"It's not all about silicone lubes – there are also some pretty great water-based lubes suitable for gay men! First things first – yes, water-based lubes aren't as slick or as long-lasting as silicone lubes, and Wet Water Based Premium Lubricant is no exception. But this lube has a special formula and a gel-like consistency, so it lasts way longer than other water-based lubes on the market and also protects your body from friction-related injuries better. And the best thing is that you can use it freely with any sex toys or condoms you might want to use. You're never at risk of damaging them with a water-based lube, no matter what they're made out of." $8, The Enhanced Male.

4. Swiss Navy Silcone Lubricant

4. Swiss Navy Silcone Lubricant

"It's important you get a lube that doesn't dry out quickly so you get a longer and uninterrupted play session. Swiss Navy Silicone Lubricant is designed just for that – it lasts longer, so you can have fun longer. Since it's silicone-based, this lube won't get sticky – one of the most annoying things about (bad) water-based products.

"It's also completely body-safe and hypoallergenic, with no added flavoring or fragrances, so there is nothing that could irritate your private parts. On top of that, it is enriched with vitamin E, which is great for your skin." $20, The Enhanced Male.

3. Gun Oil Silicone Lubricant

3. Gun Oil Silicone Lubricant

"Contrary to its name, Gun Oil does not have any oil in it – it's a slick silicone-based lube that, unlike oils, is perfectly safe for all latex condoms.

"This lube is hypoallergenic, so it's perfect for even all of you with extra sensitive skin.

"Not only is this lube safe – but it also has some ingredients with added health benefits. Aloe vera prevents inflammation, while vitamin E revitalizes your skin." $50, She Vibe.

2. Pjur Analyse Me

"Pjur Analyse Me is specifically designed for anal play and has all the qualities a good lubricant should have. Don't be fooled by the 'developed for her' title – it's perfectly good for guys as well. This lube is silicone-based, so it lasts longer and you don't have to reapply it constantly. It's also slippery, which will protect you from injuries and pain. A little goes a long way, so even though it's not cheap, it will save you money in the long run. Also, this lube has a relaxing effect. Anal can be a bit tricky – you have to learn to relax your sphincter muscles to enjoy it. This lubricant includes jojoba oil, which helps you relax your muscles and also soothes and hydrates your skin." $24, She Vibe.

1. Überlube

"Uberlube is a very high-quality product. You will see that immediately after getting it on your fingers. It's extra smooth and slippery without getting too thick and feels great on your skin. Uberlube is very long-lasting... and you will rarely feel the need to reapply. If you do, the pump on the bottle makes dispensing easy and mess-free." $19, She Vibe.
