‘Lubricant is everyone’s best friend’: Doctor reveals simple way couples can improve their sex life

When it comes to sexual health, many people are often left with questions but may not know where to seek reliable advice. While some turn to the internet or speak with friends, the information they receive can sometimes be limited or inaccurate.

A sexual health expert has now shared a simple tip that couples can introduce in their bedroom to improve their intimate experiences.

Speaking to LADbible, sexual health doctor Dr Mark Perera answered a series of candid questions submitted by viewers through an honesty box segment.

During the discussion, Dr Perera was asked about one simple solution related to sexual health that many people tend to overlook, even though it could significantly improve their experience.

His answer was straightforward: lubricant.

According to the doctor, using lubricant during sex can make intimacy far more comfortable and pleasurable for couples.

“Lubricant is everyone’s best friend. It makes sex so much more pleasurable,” Dr Perera said.

He explained that lubricants help reduce friction and make intimacy smoother, allowing couples to feel more relaxed and less worried about discomfort or awkward moments.

Dr Perera added that despite its benefits, many couples still underestimate how useful lubricants can be in enhancing their overall sexual experience.

Experts often emphasise that open communication, proper information and small practical changes can play an important role in improving sexual health and strengthening intimacy between partners.
