My experiences have been that when using oils that are 
petroleum based break down rubber products. I have had
condems break on a partner using baby oil.  Engaging in
like activities (specificly force, speed, etc....) did
not break when using lubricants designed for sex.  Oh,
darn,  I liked the baby oil.
