We get a lot of questions concerning lubricants such as water-based vs silicone, which is condom safe etc. We also get a number of questions asking how Gun Oil got its name – too much time on your hands fellows (no pun intended). So we asked Empowered Products and received answers to the former and latter questions.
In the beginning of first Gulf War, 1994, Scott Fraser was a platoon commander in the United States Marine Corp. It was during these long, hot and intense days in the desert away from loved ones, that Fraser and his fellow soldiers found that the synthetic makeup of CLP (Clean Lubricate Protect), the liquid that keeps firearms and other weapons clean and firing accurately, was also the perfect personal lubricant when relief, better known as masturbation, was necessary to relive stress. His platoon had just come from the Philippines where his men had access to alcohol, women and other vices, to the gulf where all of these things were forbidden. Realizing he had problem on his hands, i.e. no outlet for his men, he set up what was called the “Whack Shack”. This is where men could use their military issued CLP to relieve themselves.
After Fraser returned from Gulf War at his Marine Corps reunions, he would constantly tell his marine buddies that he was going to start a company based on this idea. Knowing the CLP would be the perfect personal lubricant because of its long lasting properties, Fraser realized that by changing the ingredients to a hypoallergenic and user-friendly solution, it would make the ideal product on the market for heightening sexual pleasure. Working closely with chemists to come up with precisely the right look and feel, in 2003, Fraser and his team formulated a new and highly improved Gun Oil that is silicone based, condom safe, and hypoallergenic. The formula was also fortified with Vitamin E and Aloe Vera for additional health benefits of healing, restoring, and conditioning the skin. The creation of other lubricants with the foundation of lubricating and protecting soon came to be.
In fall of 2003 Fraser and the Empowered Products team began selling those products online. Shortly after, Fraser introduced Jack Jelly Masturbation Jelly and spring of 2004 Empowered Products team began selling and promoting these lubricants around Pride events around the country.
In late 2004, Gun Oil, Stroke 29, and Jack Jelly began to gain great acceptance in US and Canadian adult stores and quickly began to be the brands of choice in the gay community. In January 2005, Empowered Products launched Pink Silicone for Women in the flagship glass bottle and by summer 2005 Gun Oil H2O Water-based Lubricant had been added into the mix. Continuing the focus to launch product, Empowered Products then launched Pink Silicone for Women. Pink was formulated and designed specifically for women.
Gun Oil
Silicone Lubricant
Gun Oil is the premium silicone lubricant that keeps a man’s most important weapon well oiled. If the military issued a lube, this is what they would distribute with the condoms and artillery. During Operation Desert Storm, Marines jacked off with actual military-issue CLP (cleans, lubricates, protects) while hunkered down in the trenches of Kuwaiti battlefields. One of those marines has developed a high-tech formula for smooth, rapid-fire action. This unique, hypoallergenic, silicone lube keeps a Private’s parts well lubricated with added Vitamin E and Aloe Vera for longer lasting, slicker ride and minimized skin irritation. The ultra-concentrated formula is designed to lubricate thoroughly without breaking down or drying out. Gun Oil actually contains no oil, so it is perfectly safe for use with latex.

Unlike silicone and water-based lubricants, this thick, non-greasy formula provides more than just wet slipperiness. After years of research, our team has developed a cream that gets better the longer you use it. The friction of rubbing and body heat provide just the right combination to transform the cream’s texture at or around the 29th stroke. Stroke 29 provides a long-lasting glide and sensation unlike any other masturbation cream available. A guy might actually forget he’s using his own hand. The product’s viscosity stays intact and doesn’t break down during its transformation, so there is no need to re-apply.
