First, let's determine the difference between the two. Oils are for use anywhere on the skin and are generally better used to enhance massages and not so much in lovemaking. Repeatedly applying oil to the sensitive skin of a woman's intimate areas can cause her some problems in the long run. Lubricants are safe for intimate areas for long term use even if used daily. Another disadvantage to oil is that it can cause condoms to break down very quickly, leading to tears.
Oils definitely have some advantages though. They feel incredible to touch. Used to enhance massages, they are the perfect way to make friction work for you instead of against you. Just the right amount of oil will allow your fingers to slide into the most intimate of places.
Lubricants on the other hand tend to dry in the open too quickly to make good products for use with massages. Lubricants are designed to provide long lasting moisture when used as a replacement for what one's body produces or doesn't produce on it's own. Lubricants, used on more intimate skin, provide longer lasting smooth moisture sufficient to keep friction from burning or causing other delicate problems.
Intimate dryness isn't just a woman's problem. The male partner can actually cause tears in the delicate skin around the head of his penis if not sufficiently lubricated. Friction burns can also be extremely uncomfortable if both partners aren't careful about maintaining sufficient lubrication.
Lubricants can be used with condoms, on both the inside and outside, as they do not break down the materials used to make condoms. In addition, lubricants will not harm the delicate skin they will come into contact with.
Lubricants are digestible and sometimes have added ingredients that taste good. They can be used in places that may come into contact with the mouth where oils are not as digestible and are much more difficult to make palatable. Most oils, however, will not cause any damage if they are ingested, they just don't taste good.
Both lubricants and oils can have an added ingredient that causes a heating sensation when any amount of friction is applied. In addition to friction, blowing on the lube or oil will cause the heating sensation. This heating sensation is particularly arousing to the male partner causing an explosive erotic response.
Like many women, I have a collection of lubes and oils that I keep in my sex box under the bed along with my special silver vibrator and a fresh set of batteries. I like to try new products and different flavors as they come out. There is one in particular that I discovered recently. It is a lubricant but comes in the form of a cream instead of a liquid. Like all the others, it is safe for your skin, provides great lubrication, safe for condoms but unlike all the others, it feels really good in the cream form. It stays where you put it and doesn't stain anything should it get away from you and onto the sheets or lingerie.
Consider buying several smaller bottles of various types and flavors until you find the ones you like the best. Don't forget to use the oils for the times you just want to feel special. Oils can be applied for the moisturizing effect and not just limited to intimate times. I have a minty oil that I use regularly on my ankles and feet when they are feeling overworked and tired. Many oils have an aroma that evokes a particular feeling. Occasionally you will run into places that allow you to make your own massage oil scents. This is the prefect chance to experiment a bit with what scents turn you on.
Regardless of what the result is, don't give up after just one try. You will find just the perfect massage oil that makes you crave those late night massages and just the perfect lubricant that makes sex a wonderful experience.
Internet Marketers assign names to these updates much the same way the weather service names hurricanes. Last October it was Jagger, before that we had the infamous Florida Update in late 2003, and Austin in early 2004.
Each update is designed to improve search results by either doing a better job of identifying high-quality content on the Internet, or by doing a better job of suppressing low-quality content.
Over the last two or three weeks, many website owners have seen traffic to their sites from Google fluctuate quite a bit. This is normal for algorithm updates - as the index is updated on one data center, a site will change positions. The fluctuations occur because the index in the new data center is not completely built, and therefore a site may be placed artificially high or low until all the data is brought into equilibrium.
A few days ago, Google completed a major overhaul of its algorithm - this one dubbed BigDaddy and in the world of search engine updates it's a category 5 hurricane; well, sort of.
You see, after all the turmoil of the past three weeks or so, most marketers are probably seeing their websites ranked more or less where they were about a month ago. This is unusual. Usually major algorithm changes result in significant changes in site rankings for virtually all sites on the Internet. Both the Florida and Jagger updates changed the landscape of Google's Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs) dramatically.
So, What's the Big Deal About BigDaddy?
At first glance, the BigDaddy update seems to be much ado about nothing. However, there are some welcome changes that have been included in this update that should make Google a much friendlier place for those of us who build valuable content-rich websites.
* Increasing size and scope of the index - One of the purposes of this latest update was to increase the size of the index itself. This will allow Google to dig deeper into your site and catalog even more of your content (HTML, JavaScripts, Flash, etc). * URL Canonicalization - Yes, it's a scary word, but it's actually quite simple. Essentially, canonicalization is determining which URL is the most appropriate for a given page. For example, the following URLs are all valid ways of reaching the homepage of ProfitChoice.com: - http://www.profitchoice.com - http://profitchoice.com - http://www.profitchoice.com/index.asp - http://profitchoice.com/index.asp By improving URL Canonicalization, Google is attempting to make sure your site gets credit even though the URLs might be spelled differently on different websites. * No More Page Hijacking - Although not a common problem, there are unscrupulous jerks out there who will find a popular site and hijack it's content by using 302 redirects. Google is attempting to eliminated the ability to do this effectively - hopefully they are succeeding. * New Spider - You will also see a new Google spider called Mozilla Bot instead of the old familiar GoogleBot. If you are into looking at server logs, the new agent is "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html) * Less Search Engine Spam - continuing with the recent trends, Google seems hell-bent on eliminating the effectiveness of purchased keywords and link farms. If you are still employing these "black-hat" techniques, then you probably just found out about the BigDaddy update the hard way. If you didn't, then you will probably be hearing from BigDaddy soon.
BigDaddy Foretells More Changes To Come
In the immediate aftermath of a major update like BigDaddy, there are a number of things you can expect to happen.
The first is that your website's PageRank (PR) will probably change over the next few weeks. If you've been doing the things that Google likes, then you will likely see your PR improve, if you are engaged in unscrupulous (by Google's standards) activities, then you can expect your PR to go down. To see a list of what Google likes visit http://www.google.com/webmasters/. In addition, some of your site's older content will be re-crawled and older, unlinked content will probably be removed from the index. Over the next few months, there will also likely be a series of smaller updates that will take advantage of the new "infrastructure" provided by the BigDaddy update. Flash-heavy sites that were held artificially low may move up in the rankings while sites that rely heavily on reciprocal linking will likely go down.
BigDaddy - Not Such A Big Deal In short, as long as you are not engaged in "Black-hat SEO", BigDaddy itself is probably no cause for alarm. If your site has recently bounced around in Google's results, then you will notice that things have probably returned to normal in the last week or so, and your rankings have probably improved a little bit.
Moving forward, in the next few weeks you can expect changes to your PageRank, and perhaps deeper crawls by Google's new spider, "Mozilla Bot". In the next few months there will likely be a number of smaller updates, mostly pertaining to issues like Flash content and niche-specific algorithm changes.
As with all algorithm changes, there is no reason to panic just because "BigDaddy" blew through town. Like hurricanes in the real world, algo changes blow a lot of loose material around; but if your website's foundation is sound, you will weather the storm and be ready for business once the storm has passed.
