From the start to the end of a sexual interaction, the body and brain moves through the four phases of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/sexual-response-cycle\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/sexual-response-cycle\/\">sexual response cycle<\/a>: anticipation, excitement, plateau, and orgasm. During the excitement phase, blood gets directed to the erogenous zones, which creates a desire-filled domino effect. When blood starts flowing to the vulva, for example, the clitoris swells, the vaginal canal begins to self-lubricate, and the uterus tilts upward.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cYou shouldn\u2019t think of intimacy oil as a replacement for foreplay or pre-play. Rather, you should view it as one of the great tools in your arousal toolkit.\u201d \u2014Emily Morse, PhD, sexologist<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Intimacy oil, explains Dr. Morse, can be used to help you jump <em>right<\/em> to the excitement phase, or to support the physiological processes (like self-lubrication) of that phase, if you\u2019ve already arrived there.<\/p>\n<p>That said, \u201cyou shouldn\u2019t think of intimacy oil as a replacement for foreplay or pre-play,\u201d says Dr. Morse. \u201cRather, you should view it as one of the great tools in your arousal toolkit.\u201d In other words, it can help make the mood (get it?) but it shouldn\u2019t be the <em>only<\/em> thing setting the sexual scene. Depending on your sexual preferences and relationship status, the use of intimacy oil during pre-play could be accompanied by things like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/how-to-sext\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/how-to-sext\/\">sexting<\/a>, kissing, oral sex, and\/or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/audio-erotica-apps\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/audio-erotica-apps\/\">audio erotica<\/a>, she adds.<\/p>\n<p>While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/differerence-between-lube-and-arousal-oil\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/differerence-between-lube-and-arousal-oil\/\">intimacy oil is not a replacement for lubricant<\/a>, it can also decrease friction by nature of being oily. \u201cMood Maker provides a sensorial glide via its silky, luxurious texture,\u201d says Vukovic. In practice, this can make internal and external play feel more pleasurable. (For the record: This product *is* vagina-safe and anus-safe.)<\/p>\n<h2>My experience getting wet and wild with Mood Maker<\/h2>\n<p>A Cancer sun with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/empath-vs-empathic\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/empath-vs-empathic\/\">empathic tendencies<\/a>, I am <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/why-am-i-so-sensitive\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/why-am-i-so-sensitive\/\">sensitive<\/a> in every sense of the word. While that makes me a great romantic partner, it also means that my desire for sex can disappear at even the slightest inconvenience or stressor\u2014which can be frustrating for both me and my sexual partners. (Hey, I know I\u2019m not the only one who\u2019s had their libido zapped by an off-tone email.)<\/p>\n<p>Thing is, as a certified sex educator, I also know that it\u2019s possible to coax out my own interest in sex even when emotional sensitivities make it feel far away. Known as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/how-to-get-turned-on\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/how-to-get-turned-on\/\">responsive desire<\/a>, this kind of desire for sex comes in <em>response to<\/em> physical arousal (as opposed to spontaneous desire, which is, well, spontaneous). To bring about my own responsive desire, I\u2019ll typically engage in some intentional de-stressing activities, non-sexual touch, and activation of my different senses. This is the scenario where I decided to give Mood Maker a go: I was curious if it might speed up my arousal process.<\/p>\n<p>So, one night after my long-distance boo beefed up my spicy content catalog, I decided to try to get in the mood with the help of the aptly named Mood Maker.<\/p>\n<p>I started by setting the scene. I lit my Santal 26 candle, plugged in my twinkle lights, set my phone to Do Not Disturb, booted up my favorite \u201cLight My Fire\u201d playlist, and climbed into a hot bath where I practiced a few minutes of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/box-breathing\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/box-breathing\/\">box breathing<\/a>. After I was out and dry, I was ready to get wet again.<\/p>\n<p>I positioned myself comfortably on my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/bed-sheets-for-sex\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/bed-sheets-for-sex\/\">sex blanket<\/a>, then pumped Mood Maker into my fingers. Immediately, I was struck by both the smell and the texture. My nose is\u2014you guessed it\u2014sensitive, so I was worried it might smell overwhelmingly like flowers or vanilla. But the scent is equally subtle and soothing. Meanwhile, the texture of the oil is thin and silky\u2014much closer to that of massage oil than the typically thick and tacky oil-based lubricant.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The texture of the oil is thin and silky\u2014much closer to that of massage oil than the typically thick and tacky oil-based lubricant.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I massaged two pumps into my external vulva, and then one additional pump into the opening of my vaginal canal, and a fourth pump into my perineum.
