Even if you remove the risk of contracting an STI or vaginal infection, saliva is still not advised. "It has no innate qualities that would make it a good lubricant," Dr. Gersh said. "It doesn't have the slippery consistency, it evaporates and dries more quickly, and further, it's irritating."

Laboratory studies have demonstrated that most commercially available or commonly used lubricants have a significant negative impact on sperm's motility, AKA the ability of the sperm to “swim” toward the egg. Some even suggest that lube has a “toxic” effect on sperm.

Researchers evaluating four of the most common lubricants (Durex, Vaginesil, Velastisa, Astroglide, and K-Y Jelly) found that they all compromise sperm motility at some level.

Water-based lubricants appear to have the greatest detrimental effect on motility and vitality, immobilizing sperm after just five minutes and killing a significant percentage of sperm within an hour (according to one study).

Side Effects Of Vaginal Lubricants: The majority of vaginal lubricants are safe for external use, being widely sold in stores and pharmacies. Nevertheless, some women may be allergic to certain ingredients in the products and may develop rashes, hives and itching as a result of frequent use of lubes.

Small and unintentional ingestion of a personal lubricant is unlikely to cause anything beyond mild stomach upset.
