It's about time! For years we've known that easy access to lubricant is a huge issue for HIV prevention and sexual health more broadly. Newsweek has somewhat prudish coverage of Wal-Mart's decision to start carrying this product (and just in time for Valentine's Day!). E.g. this quote:
Nor are they the most risqué items to appear on pharmacy shelves in the last six months. Indeed, certain aisles are starting to look like supply sites for Cosmopolitan magazine's sex tips section.
Oh, puh-lease! Condoms and lube hardly constitute some kind of revolution. But they do certainly have a huge impact on sexual health. And with this in mind, I've just added a new category here: "Sexual Health." Inspired by Wal-Mart! Whodathunkit?
