Abstract
Most American women have used lubricant. Also, lubricant is more common as part of partnered intercourse and sexual play or foreplay compared with other solo and partnered sexual behaviors. Clinicians may find it helpful to broaden conversations with patients to include questions about their sexual behaviors, comfort and/or pain during sex, and lubricant use and to share, particularly with younger women, that lubricant use is prevalent and commonly used for reasons related to pleasure as well as comfort.
