I will second the coconut oil, Make sure it is food grade, it is a solid, but because a liquid quick. Added benefit, great for a massage and keeps your skin nice and soft. Can be messy, but nothing a towel can’t handle.

I gotta say, coconut oil seems like a risk for an infection, yeast infection or something like that.

There are a bunch of things that one can do to* help* conception. This is a question about if you are not helping are you hurting or are you neutral. As examples:

Wearing briefs can cause heat in the groin that can hamper sperm production.
To conceive, the woman should lay still for a certain period of time after relations.
etc, etc, etc.

Scrupulous much? :rolleyes:

Why? :ehh:

I can’t see how it would be, any more than any other substance. Actually, as I indicated in my first post, many personal lubricants have ingredients that are irritating to those areas, especially for those with sensitive skin.

But food-grade oils are going to be perfectly hygienic, if they’re kept hygienically. Keep them in a separate container and only access with clean hands (no “double-dipping,” which you shouldn’t need to do because a little bit goes a long way), and you’re good to go.

Coconut oil is often used as a natural remedy because it’s anti-fungal. It’s actually recommended by some specifically to treat yeast infections. (There is some wacko stuff out there about coconut oil as the next miracle cure to everything, but see here and here for some legitimate information).

I think you misread. The poster was saying that these are things that people often do to increase their chances of conceiving (and yes, they can make a difference). Not doing those things is not the same thing as seeking to contracept. So a man who wears briefs, or a woman who gets up immediately after sex, or uses a personal lubricant that may inhibit sperm mobility but is not designed to do so, is NOT guilty of contraception, even if those things might make a small difference in fertility.

I think PaulinVa isn’t scrupulous, but he’s explaining why others might be.

Yes, that’s it!

I’ve got a lot of problems, but scrupulosity is not one of them.

Hey, on_the_hill! Just read your post. All’s well.
