After Sean Smith, president of Trigg Laboratories, married an Israeli woman, he set out to create a sexual lubricant that could be certified kosher. Sounds simple enough, right? Well, until now it’s never been accomplished.

Smith designed Wet, a range of lubricants that have officially been given the religious stamp of approval by the Rabbinical Council of California, British newspaper The Guardian reports.

The rabbis inspected Wet’s 52,000 square foot production plant, did extensive research into the origins of every ingredient, and everything came back kosher, so to speak.

Now you’re probably wondering why kosher lubricant is even necessary considering that observant Jews use cosmetics, detergents, soaps, medical ointments, and much more that is non-kashrut. Well, Jewish law states that must only concern themselves with kosher regulations if they intend to swallow.

So does this open up oral sex for the Orthodox Jewish community? Although the subject matter is taboo, there are most definitely no laws against it. And even better… Wet comes in eight flavors.
