6 naughty ways to use coconut oil (in the bedroom, kitchen and bathroom!)

We all know that coconut oil has some truly great health and beauty benefits. Or if you don’t, you can read them here to get up to speed.
But there are also some other uses for this oil that are a little more… naughty.
Intrigued? So were we. And Coconut Guru and author of Going Coconuts, Brynley King, did not disappoint.
#1: as a personal lubricant
Coconut oil is excellent for use as an inexpensive personal lubricant. According to Brynley, it has a lot more staying power than water-based lubricants, which is ideal for long sessions of lovemaking. But don’t forget to swap your latex condoms for polyurethane condoms! In some cases, oil can break down latex condoms, making them ineffective, so it’s best to switch to stay safe.
#2: to increase sex drive
Not feeling particularly frisky lately? Try adding three tablespoons of coconut oil into your diet each day. Brynley explains that both men and women who include coconut oil in their diets believe it helps to increase their sex drive. This could be thanks to the antioxidants it contains, which help to fight free radicals that can cause a low libido.
#3: as a massage oil
Der. Ok you may have guessed this one, but have you actually tried it? It smells good, won’t stain your sheets and who doesn’t love to relieve a little stress before sexy time?
#4: as edible body paint
Body chocolate is old news. Brynley recommends mixing coconut oil with raw cacao powder and honey for a naughty bedroom trick that’s not so naughty on your thighs.
#5: to fight off yeast infections
A little less sexy, but the downstairs department still classifies as naughty, right? Brynley explains that the antifungal, antiviral and antimicrobial properties in coconut oil can help combat yeast infections, either internally by digesting a few tablespoons a day or externally by massaging the area.
#6: to make yummy treats
If you’re craving a naughty treat that would normally contain a lot of butter, opt for coconut oil instead. It achieves similar results and has the ability to deliver nutrients and health benefits even when cooked at a high heat. Test it out with these delicious yet healthy peanut butter snack bars.
So what are you waiting for? Try coconut oil for yourself. Here are some of our faves:
1. Nature Pacific’s Banaban Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil ($19.95, 900mL, www.ausnaturalcare.com.au)
2. Spiral Organic Coconut Oil ($6.99, 300g, Woolworths)
3. Melrose Organic Unrefined Coconut Oil ($11.72, 300g, Coles)
Have you ever used coconut oil? Which of the above uses intrigues you the most?

I love coconut oil. Cooking and in my hair. I'll lather my ends with it in the morning and put my hair into a high plait and wash it out at night.

Being regular visitors to Fiji, my fiancé and I are addicted to coconut oil! The scent reminds us of being on holiday and it's amazing for so many things. I love it for massage and skin moisturising, I use it in cooking and baking, condition my hair with it, and it's perfect for removing my makeup too - nothing works better for gently taking off liquid lipstick!

Really enjoyed this article for more hints and tips on the trusty Coconut Oil. I always have a jar of coconut oil in each of my bathroom, bedroom and kitchen! Such a multi purpose essential must have item. I also swear by apply a small amount to my hair after blow drying and straightening to help control those fly away hairs!

I'm thinking I need to invest in a few jars of this. My skin gets so dry, so I think a massage everyday might just be the answer to help with that. And the other benefits are a bonus too

I love coconut oil, especially in my cooking, baking and making of raw treats. As a massage oil would be delish I think ;)

For a massage oil, fractionated coconut oil is a better (always liquid, no impurities) option!

I would have thought that one of the dot points would have been to put coconut oil in your hair as it makes your hair luxuriant.
