    Translation: some lubricants can damage the skin barrier, increasing the risk for sexually transmitted diseases. Right?

    OP should probably simplify the title.

      IMO the title should always reflect the article being linked to, and editorializing it does the community a disservice on multiple levels, but a “plain English” description certainly belongs in the post description.
