Great article Yael, and I in no way took it as prescriptive for all women or tied it to consent (which you address in your disclaimer). It seems to me to be a gentle suggestion of something to consider in all of our quests for better, healthier sex. I would even add that in my experience, certain silicone lubes can have a deadening, numbing effect, particularly when used in excess. Like anything, listen to your body, let your own experiences guide you, and communicate. Good stuff!
