We are going to be closing the call soon, so please make your move on lube safety NOW.
Click here to read the Call and to endorse.
We must KNOW whether water-based and silicone-based lubricants used during sex are safe or not, whether they cause harm, or not. Right now we don’t know – but we DO have some data that has raised some concerns. These concerns must be addressed through research, the questions we have must be answered.
Make your voice heard – endorse the Call.
