Not sure if this is the right forum for this question ... but can anyone tell me what oil is good to use for massage when there is likely to be licking and sucking involved at some point?? 🤭

Organic coconut oil. Great all purpose lube, works very well for massage. Edible, healthy, great texture, don’t need tons of it. Keeps everything lubricated nicely without having to constantly reapply like you do with water based synthetic lubes.

I’ve used grapeseed many years ago, but it doesn’t have a very stable shelf life. I prefer the qualities of coconut oil and it lasts longer - great for buying in bulk.

I use a fractionated coconut oil. It's tasteless and is great as lube as well. It's a little thinner than other oils, but works fine for massage on non-hairy bodies

so what works best for hairy bodies?

Regular coconut oil works nicely for hairy bodies, although it takes more of it to do the trick vs a smoother body. No bother.

Fractionated is great for when you need it to be in a liquid form no matter the room temperature, for example, for use in a pump bottle. Fractionated coconut oil is indeed thinner than most other oils.

Regular coconut oil solidifies under 78 degrees F. A pleasant texture for solid coconut oil is at room temperature between 73-76 degrees F as it is most workable and melts quickly after skin contact. Long enough to apply without dripping, short enough to melt right right onto the client’s skin in a few seconds after immediate application. 68 degrees F room temperature and below and coconut oil is harder to work with. Basically you have to warm it up in your hands for a while before applying to the client, or use a warmer, which tends to make it all liquid anyway, which is also hard to work with, as you don’t want to drip all over between your container and the client.
