On the shelves of lubricants, a new category of gels has appeared: orgasmic gels. Supposed to stimulate the erogenous genital zones and intensify the pleasure, in reality they have only an often limited heating effect. So how do orgasmic gels work and do they really work?

An orgasmic gel, or exciting gel, is an aqueous substance, to be applied directly to the skin, and in particular to the genitals, in order to increase desire and pleasure during sexual acts. These gels are sold in pharmacies and drugstores, in the same department as condoms. There are orgasmic gels for women, which usually stimulate the clitoris, but also sometimes the G-spot, and gels for men, generally intended for the penis. Their goal is to bring pleasure by stimulating the area by providing tingling, a feeling of heat and pleasant excitement.

There are orgasmic gels for women, to be applied mainly on the clitoris, or in the vagina to stimulate the point G. To use them, you just need to apply gel directly to the area and then massage. These gels are edible and are designed to be able to be in contact with the mucous membranes in case of kissing, caressing with the tongue, etc. Gels for men are to be applied mainly to the penis, to activate blood circulation. Finally, be aware that orgasmic gels are completely compatible with condoms, and that they should in no case replace protection against STIs and STDs.

These gels are designed to stimulate an area (the G-spot, anus, clitoris, etc. in women) or the penis or anus in men. The so-called exciting gels are actually heating gels: thanks to a particular composition, they provide a feeling of heat once applied. Concretely, they will heat the area to which they are applied thanks to a vascularizing effect, which will boost blood circulation. It is this sensation that is believed to bring more pleasure, as it increases the stimulation of the genitals, already heated by the blood flow due to sexual arousal.

Orgasmic gels do not have the same use as lubricants. Although they have a similar consistency and can therefore facilitate lubrication by moistening the erogenous zones, they are not initially intended for this purpose. On the other hand, be aware that there are heating lubricating gels, which combine the two effects. These are to be applied before intercourse with penetration, in order to lubricate the areas and facilitate back and forth movements, whether it is anal or vaginal penetration. The heating effect will bring an additional sensation during penetration.

Obviously, these gels will not work miracles: it is not because you use them that the orgasm will be guaranteed. In reality, they will only add a heating and vascularizing effect on the erogenous zone to be stimulated. Some people may see an effect and have an increased sensation, while others may not. When the gel works, it provides a feeling of warmth which is added to the existing sexual arousal and thus can amplify the sensations felt, but to a lesser extent. The exciting gel can bring a “spicy” and quirky side to sexual intercourse, in the sense that it can also be used as a massage gel to facilitate caresses and foreplay.

Some exciting and heating gels boast you of unusual properties, such as a guaranteed orgasm, increased pleasure, intense sensations, etc. Beware of marketing slogans: keep in mind that this is only a cream to be applied to the skin, and not a miracle remedy, which can certainly increase sensitivity, and stimulate the area. , but within reason. Finally, these exciting gels may on the contrary not please during use, the feeling of heat not being appreciated by everyone. In short, it is up to everyone to test the effectiveness of these gels on themselves!
