"DON'T USE OIL WITH CONDOMS EVER (evAr)!"

May I respectfully submit and correct me if I am wrong (please, I mean it), but(t), the oil that deteriorates condoms is petroleum based, right? Am I mis-informed, or would olives (and other vegetable oil) NOT be in that category. In fact, aren't veggies, like us, pretty much water based organic substances? Do you own stock in astro-glide? :-). Just want to keep us from overlooking obvious, natural substances instead of mindlessly buying some unnecessary product (like for most as in my original post, ‘bottled’ water for god's sake).

I am not a chem or bio engineer/scientist, and I am not going to claim that olive oil and the like are water based lubs, but I am not stupid and they sure as hell aren't vasoline! (being not stupid means still teachable)

Anyone out there qualified to comment?

also while i'm at it,
"shove some mayo up your rectum, wait two weeks"

While I am not going to do that, mayo being a dairy product is going to go 'bad' whereas a substance such as olive oil can sit in a bottle un-refrigerated for a long time with not ill effects. (I am ignoring that in the suggestion above, if the rectum is part of a living person, that there is no substance that is going to remain in it for more that 24hr, much less 2 wks). And yes, I would not hesitate to shove a bit of olive oil up there, should there be a reason and I am certain that there would be no ill effects from that.

The real question here is, would a vegetable based oil, damage a condom? There is no other issue that I can see. Again, is there an informed voice out there that can speak to this?
