Do not use vaseline!
Ok.. so if were saying nothing can get absorbed into our skin and ultimately to our bloodstream... Hows come nicotine patches work? Also chewing tabacco gets absorbed through your skin... into your bloodstream... And the purpose of vaseline/lotions etc.. is to get absorbed into your skin and heal it.
(btw in no way do I think vaseline is harmful, unless you eat it)

It's not really a matter of absolutes: all or nothing at all getting absorbed through your skin. It's much more a matter of what molecules can pass through your body's largest organ and primary defense against nature; your skin.

coconut oil is the best, and aloe vera gel is also great stuff but as the water evaporates out of it it becomes sticky,
just apply more water and its slippery as helll... You can buy the gel or use the stuff right from the plant leaves.
although the bottle is easier and more convenient.......higher end grocery stores are starting to carry the leaves for
about 3-4 bucks a leaf......aloe is magical stuff....
btw your skin is the largest organ of the body and yes it does absorb anything it comes in contact with and it DOES end up in your blood stream.
In fact you can taste it sometimes.... if you are aware.....

I have been reading up a bit on coconut oil and cocoa butter for use for facial blemishes.
This seems to be a pretty good source for coconut oil if anyone is interested, damn good price too. http://www.amazon.com/Nutiva-Organic-Virgin-Coconut-54-Ounce/dp/B000GAT6NG/

Your skin DOES NOT absorb everything it comes in contact with. Where do you guys get this "information" ?
By this thinking you're absorbing: soap, shampoo, dirt, grease, etc. AND with this thinking, why don't you RE-absorb: sweat, hair oils, ear wax, urine, saliva, etc. ??
There are toxins you can't eat, but you can handle. Likewise there are toxins you can't handle: because the molecule can be absorbed.
Frogs have skin that absorbs almost everything, we DO NOT have frog skin. Nicotine patches and products like that are specifically engineered such that the molecules will be absorbed.

I've always tried to follow the advice to never put anything on your skin that you can't eat.
IMO, baby oil and vaseline are two of the worst lubes for jelqing. Too much friction and the mess is ridiculous to try and clean up.
From all my experiments with lubes, I am currently using Astroglide. Now Astroglide also contains a shitload of chemicals which they say not to put on your skin repeatedly (phytoestrogens). So my solution has been to slather up my penis with Red Palm Oil (healthiest natural oil around) first so that it acts as a barrier for the Astroglide. Works very well. Olive oil would work as well if you can't find Red Palm Oil. Try it and you might not ever go back to Vaseline. This is the slickest jelq lube combo I have ever used.

Yah, I just finished a big bowl of Tide with some Ivory bar soap grated in. Add a little Palmolive if the Tide is too gritty.
I eat a stick of Axe every couple of days or so. Usually when I'm driving as it curbs my urge to smoke.
I also eat my clothes, as they touch my skin as well. I prefer 100% cotton tee's, especially if they are fresh out of the wash and still smell like laundry detergent. Sometimes I'll lube up a pair of underwear with shower gel so they go down easier.
Seriously, NO I don't fuckin eat soap or deodorant. Actually I only use natural vegatable glycerin "soap" without artificial dyes or perfumes. I never use deodorant. I eat healthy and natural foods and shower, so I don't stink like people who consume garbage and try to cover up their stench with colognes and perfumes.

Okay. Are you a biochemist? Do you really understand every detail of your body and the things you consume? I'm sorry but if you do any kind of physical work in the heat you will sweat and there will be odor. Doesn't matter how natural you think your food is...short of having your own little patch of land that you have cleansed over the years of any residue and waste and grown your own food you really can't say 100% that it's natural. How about the water you drink? You realize we are using and reusing the same water that's been around for generations right? You can't possibly purify every detail out of it.
My comment was in light humor and not a personal attack. Don't get me wrong I applaud your efforts.
I do have a question though....if you are using this oil for jelqing then why are you using astroglide at all. Unless you jelq with a glove you'd have to put the red stuff on your hands and penis to keep it away from your skin so that would mean you use the astroglide to lube up the red oil? Not really understanding that one.

Phytoestrogens (plant-based estrogen-like substances) have anywhere from 1/500th to 1/5000th the biological action of human estrogen. They actually bond to estrogen receptors preventing the uptake of your body's own estrogen and acting more like a blocking agent. That's why naturopaths recommend phytoestrogen supplements for women going through menopause. They get some benefits of HRT without the health risks and side effects. Don't stress about phytoestrogens. They have virtually NO effect on your manhood.
