Can I use coconut parachute oil as a lubricant for masturbation? Is it safe, or are there any side effects I should be aware of? Also, are there any other oils that might be better?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Coconut oil, including parachute coconut oil, can be used as a lubricant, as it's generally safe for external use. However, it may cause irritation or disrupt the natural balance of vaginal flora for some people. It's important to test it on a small area of skin first, and if you experience discomfort, consider using a water-based lubricant specifically designed for intimate use.

View allI'm a bit concerned because my testicles hang very low. Is this something normal, or should I be worried about a potential problem? Have you encountered this issue before, and if its nothing to worry about, could you give me some guidance?
It's normal for testicles to hang at varying lengths due to factors like temperature, age, and individual anatomy. However, if you notice pain, discomfort, or other changes, its worth consulting a doctor for a proper evaluation. If everything else feels normal, this may just be your body's natural variation.
