Come Together: Wet Together Is More Than Just Lube

When is a lube more than just a lube? When it's Wet Together. A "his 'n hers" lube set, Wet Together promises to revolutionize your lovemaking experience. But does it?

Let's start by discussing the theory behind Wet Together. According to the copy:

His warms. Hers tingles. She applies his to him. He applies hers to her. The intimate act of touching makes the connection. The two unite, body to body, heart to heart. Two exciting sensations…Become ONE…together™.

Or, in layman's terms—one lube warms, one lube tingles; together, they form some sort of Voltron-like super unit that results in explosive orgasm. Theoretically, at least.

I started my experiment by applying the "His" lube to my partner's member. In my hands, the lube felt very warm—on his cock, not so much.

"It just feels like lube," he said.

We turned to the "Hers" bottle. My assistant applied a small amount to my parts. It felt good. He applied a little more.

It was definitely tingly. Unfortunately, I'm not sure that "tingly" is a sensation that I really like. Rather than getting me hot and bothered, it made me, well, slightly uncomfortable.

We moved on to the teamwork portion of the experiment.

Now, Wet's press materials informed me that, when combined, these two lubes would provide a heightened sensation. That wasn't quite my experience, though. Combining the two lubes made things feel better—but that was largely because it reduced the bothersome tingling sensation. I wasn't really sure that it felt better than sex sans Wet Together, however; if anything, I was slightly troubled by the feeling that certain parts of me felt a little numb.

I once attended a presentation about a product that—while not manufactured by Wet—was very similar, at least in concept, to Wet Together. Hyping the product, the presenters discussed how it would encourage intimacy and communication, encouraging partners to interact by applying the lubricants to each other, and seeing how they reacted when combined.

That's all very well and good, and a really nice sentiment. But it would have meant much more to me if the lube hadn't left me, well, feeling more detached than engaged.

But hey, that's just my experience: your mileage may vary (especially if you like tingling).
