Can I add BS to my lube
You can, BUT normal is quite thick and creamy that the sperm may have trouble swimming through it.
Oh ok, so pre seed is used for the thickness of it not the PH
I think so? It is supposedly the perfect pH for all sperm. I have heard of people adding a pinchof BS to the preseed to raise the pH.
Yeah I read that and thought maybe I could add BS to my normal lube.Quote:

I think it is the pH and consistency/viscosity of the preseed that makes it sperm friendly.
Preseed already has a boy-friendly pH but some people think they need it higher, and add some baking soda. You can def add baking soda to Preseed (but not other lubes, like KY, because they are bad for sperm anyway and sway pink) to raise pH a bit if you want to. Plus, the Preseed and BS combo is much better for sperm than BS alone, because they can swim thru Preseed better than just straight BS. Directions for mixing Preseed and BS are in this essay http://genderdreaming.com/forum/show...ng-Soda-basicsQuote:
