Desire Sensual Pleasure Oil 101: Why, when and how to use

Introducing Desire Sensual Pleasure Oil, a clean feel-good formula to increase pleasure before and during intimate moments. 

Similar to Bloomi’s Arousal Oil, Desire contains botanical aphrodisiacs that enhance blood circulation, increases the body’s natural lubrication and stimulates overall sensations. We’re breaking down when, why and how using a pleasure oil can elevate your intimate sessions.

Oils vs. Lubricants

Many people use pleasure oils and personal lubricants interchangeably. However, there are some differences that you should know beforehand. Lubricants come in three main forms: water-based, oil-based and silicone-based. They are formulated for internal or external use and provide a nice glide to help reduce friction during intimate moments like penetration or external stimulation.

Meanwhile, pleasure oils are oil-based products formulated with ingredients that work with your body’s natural arousal process by enhancing blood circulation to the genital skin and surrounding area(s). It is not designed to help reduce friction during penetration, which is why it is for external use only. 

Ingredients and benefits

Our community asked for an arousal product that can be used on vulvas and penises, so we formulated Desire Sensual Pleasure Oil. Based on sexologist-approved research, Desire’s plant-powered formula is made with a beautiful blend of botanical aphrodisiacs that were carefully selected to stimulate all genitals and to naturally boost arousal.

For many, Desire can help enhance natural lubrication, heighten sensations during sex and intensify orgasms.

  • Coconut oil (MCT oil) hydrates the skin and provides a nice glide.

  • Passionflower seed oil calms the nervous system.

  • Pumpkin seed oil is rich in omega-3 essential fatty acids and provides hydration to the skin.

  • Evening primrose oil helps balance sex hormones.

  • Tunera afrodisiaca (Damiana) is an ancient Central American aphrodisiac.

  • Cinnamon is known to promote blood flow, especially in the abdominal area.

  • Nutmeg is a botanical aphrodisiac that enhances sensation.

Unlike most intimate care products on the market, we give you our clean promise. Every product from our Bloomi collection is formulated with botanicals from our Yes List and without parabens, phthalates, glycerin, dyes, synthetic fragrances or ingredients that disrupt intimate skin.

Why

It is healthy (and fun!) to explore your sexuality by incorporating new experiences and products like Desire Sensual Pleasure Oil. In fact, a majority of people with vulvas need at least 15-to-20 minutes of stimulation in order to be fully aroused. There’s no need to be hard on yourself for not being well-lubricated or feeling “in the mood” quickly.

Regardless of your genitals, we encourage folks to use this 15-to-20-minute window to build intimacy through acts like kissing, caressing or massaging Desire Sensual Pleasure Oil into the intimate skin. Not only will this be a grounding experience, but it’ll also serve as a reminder to slow down and be fully present so that you can hopefully have more satisfying intimate experiences.

When

While you can use Desire Sensual Pleasure Oil anytime you want, applying a pleasure oil to your intimate skin before and during sex is a great way to elevate your most intimate moments. Desire Sensual Pleasure Oil is worth a try if you relate to any of the following:

  • You experience vaginal dryness due to menopause, penetration or hormone changes.

  • You need support with maintaining an erection.

  • You want a boost in libido.

  • You enjoy using lightly scented products during oral sex.

How

The first step before using any product on your intimate areas is to test it on a patch of skin to avoid potential skin reactions. Apply two to four pumps topically to intimate skin and surrounding areas, such as the clitoris, vulva or penis, inner thighs or lower abdomen a few minutes before intimacy.

Although this formula is designed for external use, customers have reported positive experiences while using it internally. If you plan to incorporate Desire into your intimate sessions, note that it is an oil-based product and is not compatible with latex materials like condoms, dental dams or silicone toys.
