Woooooooow, you guys, you amaze me. When I asked you guys to email me and tell me why you needed to win a stash of the new Yours+Mine and Intense lubes from KY (which Sarah reviewed here), I had no idea how moved and engaged and amused I’d be by your responses. Over a hundred of you wrote in to tell me about your marriages, your sex lives and the state of your vaginas. We were originally going to pick five winners, but I couldn’t possibly narrow it down to five, so the people at KY were awesome enough to let me pick ten winners. (All together now: Thanks, KY!)
It was still a near-impossible task. I narrowed it down to about 30, and then, since I’m at home visiting my family, I actually sat down with my mother (I’m serious!) and we worked together to pick ten winners. Thank you to everyone who participated; I wish everyone could have won. The winners (with identifying details removed) are posted here. There are a bunch more after the jump.
My fiance and i NEED to have this in the bedroom! We have decided to spice up our sex lives by having sex every night for 2 months regardless of how we feel and I am pretty sure we will need the lube on more than one occasion! We have really wanted to try this KY Lube but have been tight on money lately. If we win this, we will be extremely happy! ;)
I would like to win the KY Yours+Mine and Intense because my fiance will be coming home from a year long deployment in Afghanistan this February. This would be the perfect addition to the welcome home present I was already planning on giving him, also known as my sweet sweet love, made sweeter with the help of this particular product. It would also greatly help me out, as we will probably have sex about fifty-leven times the first day he gets back. The chafing! Can you imagine? The KY will be put to good use in my hands….and his.
Yeah, so the reason I need this lube is simple enough–we’re the proud parents of a one and a half year old. It’s about time something other than the tickle me elmo doll that is permanently forgotten in our bed, um “tickles” me while we’re doing the deed.
My husband has hit his second childhood and he is hitting it like a 20 year old. Please send Lube ASAP. I am loving it just need sleep and lube. thanks
I think that I should win the lube contest because I need it so badly that I am sitting in a very public place at the University of [Redacted] with my browser open to Zelda Lily/ a nice big graphic of KY. Furthermore, I can’t afford to buy lube, which is a necessity to my boyfriend’s and my sex life. It is so integral to our getting it on that we have to transport our shared bottle of lube back and forth from his house to mine. In the process, the lube opened and spilled all over his backpack- now there is a giant grease stain that takes up the entire bottom half of his backpack that will never come out. Please save us further lube transportation mishaps by sending me some lube for free.
Okay I admit it, I used to be a cynic. Love…. all consuming love…the kind that inspires songs, the kind young girls dream about, the kind that sells countless movies… I thought that it didn’t exist. Most of us settle, we settle for security,or companionship,or maybe because it’s what’s expected. At first we try to play the part, then we tell ourselves we don’t need that to be happy…and when that doesn’t work? Well.. then we lie to ourselves and deem such a thing a fallacy, a fiction, a fairytale. How else could I justify wasting 16 yrs of my life in a loveless marriage? At almost 40 yrs old I stopped settling. I left my marriage and met the man of my dreams. All those things I used to think were just fairy tales are proven daily in our love affair. He is not a little boy, he is my partner, confidante, lover, father to my boys…he is my heart. We cherish our time alone and we love trying new things, the new KY yours and mine sounds like one we need to try ASAP.
Well, Sasha, to be perfectly honest, I’m pregnant with my 2nd daughter and I don’t really have time for that elusive foreplay. I want to make sex intimate again with my husband, but that whole “quick! she’ll nap for 20 minutes, let’s get going!!” isn’t exactly the sexiest or most romantic sort of foreplay I’m used to. I need help! Please help a 27 year old mom of a 1 year old and another on the way get lucky!
Why do I want this lube? 2 words: Dry Vagina. Though they may not be the prettiest words, it’s the ugly truth. My vagina is synonymous with the desert, all i need is a little lake! Help a sister out before I resort to the world of Pam Non-stick spray.
About seven months ago, I got out of a three-year emotionally abusive relationship which left me in little pieces. after some time on my own, I was able to find and recharge the beautiful, strong, fierce woman I knew was deep inside. Yesterday a gorgeous old crush Facebooked me and invited me to his New Years party… so why not start 2010 off with a hot night to remember? :)
Why or why do I want KY Yours+Mine and Intense in my bedroom arsenal. Because I deserve it! No fantasy’s here, just fact Ma’am.
Sex in your teens is, like, just experimenting. This body you were given is changing and oh the feelings. Sorting them out, trying to figure out what works and how it works, thinking that it will be like this forever.
Sex in your twenties is starting to rev up, your getting to understand your body a little better, your starting to understand your life a little better, much better than your teens, thinking that it will be like this forever.
Sex in your thirties. By God, now we’ve got it. Being comfortable in your own skin, knowing exactly how your body works, and working it like you’ve never worked it before. Thinking that it will be like this forever.
Sex in your Forties. Wonderful, your body leads you in the correct directions without any thought, it all feels great, children are grown and out of the house, life is wonderful, sex is amazing. Thinking it will never get better than this.
Through your 40’s and 50’s, this body that you have grown to love, that you have embraced and nurtured starts to turn on you. Little subtle things, sore joints, back pain, breast cancer, hmmmmmm……MENOPAUSE……hmmm……Remembering thinking that women who complained about menopause were being big babies. SO what, a little sweat, getting a little warm, grow up already woman, what’s the big deal? Eating your words when you are vomiting from the intense heat that starts in the back of your head and engulfs your very being.
This body that you have come to know and enjoy, no longer works the same. It’s not “you babe” it’s me! I can’t stand this, worried that it’s going to be like this forever.
With a great doctor and a little help, it doesn’t have to be like that forever…and I think that KY Yours+Mine and Intense could be a great additional to my little arsenal that I now need, not want, but need.

All I know is that I want details, people, of your opinions on this stuff. :)
I’m one of the winners too! I’ll let you know as well. Unfortunately though I’m the one who has to wait for February for my boo to get home. :(
Thanks Zelda Lily and KY!
Perhaps videos too…for educational purposes. One from you Ash would be great. Let’s see how it’s goin down unda :D
J, I realise your comment was intended as a joke, albeit crass. As you have shown a superficial interest in a single facet of my identity, you will forgive my optimistic assumption that your interest in women is holistic and therefore you will find the other facets of me equally enthralling.
I am an internet technician, full time employed and also studying psychology. I intend next year to complete the undergraduate medical and health sciences admissions test and hopefully earn a place as an undergraduate medical student. I was unable to secure a place in medicine during my teens due to multiple health complications during my final high school years.
My partner is a laboratory technician and holds a double degree. Her little brother is a psychologist and holds a triple degree. He is recently graduated, and assisting me with my psychology, as I assist him with his search for his first psychological job.
i am one of the winners, i promise you i will give you an update as soon as we try it!..not..while we are trying it. my partner and i squealed with delight when we found out we had won!
Crongats to the winners….
*sigh*
man. i wish i had seen this earlier. i think i need this stuff BAD, ive never had an orgasm from sex.
Next time you girls start thinking its a mans world,I’ve got two words for you,”multiple orgasm”, how could anyone be so lucky.
Multiple orgasms, but still no equal pay. Yeah, that’s a fair trade for sure.
Well I’m a housewife so I don’t get paid but I do get multiple orgasms as part of the good wife benefits package so it’s a fine trade off for me. ;-)
The more you complain,the longer God makes you live.
Yeah, well… the multiple orgasm thing *might* be an equal trade if every woman cared more about sex than anything else, or if every woman knew how to have them. Capability and application do not occur at the same rate.
Multiple when they happen vs. happens every time.
I think it evens out, dude.
[...] Want to Win a Free Trip to the Music Festival of Your Choice??? By Evil Beet Gossip • on December 15, 2009 I know, I know, it’s been contest fever around here lately. What can I say? It’s the holiday season, and people want to give you guys free shit. In November, we teamed up with Disney and The Proposal to offer you guys an all-expenses-paid trip to Napa Valley for the best proposal story. Our winner, Liz (read her entry here), is so excited about getting to go on the romantic honeymoon she and her husband missed out on the first time around. Last week, Zelda Lily teamed up with KY’s Yours+Mine and Intense to give away TEN free sample packs to the folks who needed it most. (Read the hilarious and touching winning entries here.) [...]
Australian here, really wanting to get some of this for my partner and I for christmas…we would not be interested in the yours&mine as we are lesbians, but it appears I can’t buy the “intense” online via ky and they have an “australian” shop like that takes me to their baby products division, with some ky products but not the “intense”….noooooooo!
Help a poor aussie girl out anyone? links, info, anything would be good. Even a physical shop.
continued from J says:
I could go on, but I sense even your avid interest waning, so I will abridge and simply state I am a sister and a daughter, and plan to be a mother. I have also been a long time daily reader of Zelda lily, both blogs and comments, and my earlier post was my first ever. My reticence was due mainly to my perception of the blog demographic as mainly straight, and to my preference for silence in situations in which I might make someone uncomfortable. You, it appears, have no such compunction. When I saw an opportunity to surprise my partner, I tried to find a way to do so without troubling others. But when I gave up in frustration, I considered posting, and by writing a polite, detailed message, hopefully receiving a helpful response or 2.
My emotions regarding men and their knee jerk reactions to me have run the gamut, from offense, to frustration, to painstaking patience, to despair and finally to my current state, unobtrusive silence. The main reason for my cowed demeanor is a combination of the sheer futility of an attempt in a change of thinking, and of a slew of negative emotions triggered by disrespect to my partner- an intolerable and apparently inevitable part of my unguarded interactions with men. I felt that on Zelda lily, I might find a place in which to relax and be myself, safe in the knowledge that others would see me as an individual, or at least as more than a potential source of titillating entertainment.
As I have a father, and male friends, and maybe someday a son, I made a resolution in childhood never to hate or even resent men, as I am aware how badly that can strain relationships, particularly lesbian mother / son relationships. In general, the pervasive and unrelentingly responses of disgust, lechery, or a mixture of both, have made this resolution hard to keep. The presence of such an attitude in a forum I was beginning to think of as a second home is invasive. Zelda lily for me is about respect.
This next part will be hard for you to grasp, but stay with me. Women are not mentally ill if they don’t desire sex with a man (http://zeldalily.com/index.php/2009/12/womens-waning-libidos-miracle-drug-on-the-horizon/), nor are they misguided or in need of “correction” (http://zeldalily.com/index.php/2009/12/rape-as-a-tool-to-convert-lesbians-kind-of-defeats-the-purpose/). Women do not exist to act as porn stars or strippers as the mood takes you, and the planet doesn’t actually orbit your penis. I’m sure if a gay man made similar comments to you, you would claim as even my most progressive male friends have always done, that it’s “Different” when men are the subject of unwanted sexual advances or objectification. There are plenty of non-feminist blogs, and if I’m lucky, you’re already on one of them, not reading this.
[...] You guys. Coolest thing ever. We had such a fantastic response to the lube giveaway we ran last month, and it made me realize how many women really need something to spice up their sex lives, but they [...]
KY Yours and Mine is great stuff. I printed out a $5 coupon today at http://www.promoky.com Looking forward to valentines day.
Argh! I’ve been wanting to try this stuff for a while now. I wish I hadn’t missed this. Any reviews from the winners?
Must be great stuff – they haven’t been heard from since they won :)
Well, I was one of the winners and, sadly, it was not great stuff. Not for us anyway. Honestly, it made my junk tingle in a BAD way and I’m pretty sure caused a yeast infection. So, yeah, we didn’t really like it. I have heard from other people though that they love it so, I guess it’s just really an individual thing.
