Guys and lube. Do guys routinely use lube for masturbation, vaginal sex and anal sex?

Contributor: Liz2 Liz2
My b/f told me that he never used lube prior to our relationship and further related that most of his friends don't use lube either. The consensus is that saliva and the woman's own vaginal wetness is sufficient.

We've usually gone through a number of toys by the time we have sex, so there's lube everywhere. My husband doesn't mind using it.

Funny thing, I didn't use lube until I was 25 or so. I didn't even know that much about it until I joined EF.

Not so proud moment: For years (8+) I only used Meijer Cocoa Butter for self pleasure. It's soaked into my skin so much that I don't know when it'll be out of my skin

I never used anything but Astroglide before joining EF. Now having discovered the joys of silicone lube, I'll never go back.

Most of my male partners seem to be clueless, either not intending to use lube for anal or ... wanting to use Jergens??

Dude.

I actually gave my nearly new, full bottle of Liquid Silk to a friend of mine so he'd stop using lotion as lube.

using lotion as lube has always seemed like a dumb idea. OUCH!

We use it for anal sex every time and almost every time for vaginal sex. If I am using a toy for masturbation than I use lube. If I am masturbating with just my hand, then I often do not use lube.

We use lube for anything sexual, but I never use lube for standard hand play.

My boyfriend told me that once, when he was a young teenager, he tried using shampoo while he was in the shower...

...hahah, needless to say, he learned his lesson.

Age, frequency, mood, time for foreplay all impact my ladies ability to self lubricate. I'd say in my 20s to mid 30s no artificial lube was needed. Now I'd say we use it more than 98% of the time. It's more comfortable and an absolute necessity when using 95% of the dildos and rabbit vibes for us.

It's also important if we're planning a weekend sex-binge - the last thing you want to have happen is to get sore from all the activity.

Every once in a while if I go overboard on the lube achieving orgasm can be impaired - but 99% of the time it helps - even enhances orgasm.

My guy uses lube for anal and vaginal sex cuz otherwise I whine a lot.

I use it for hand jobs and sometimes flavored lube for oral.

But for masturbation? He likes it dry.

My brain screams OUCH! Heh

I can't even go dry. I HAVE to have something there.

Dry works for me occasionally - but technique is very important. She's got to use a very light touch. Lucky for me, my lover has those skills.

Male partners tend to want to. I don't really like it. I only use it with toys given my choice alone.

We used lube while I was on the pill years ago, some horrible stuff called "Joy Jelly" that had flavorings in it and gave me UTIs and vaginal infections. But, I was so dry from the freaking pill. The only other times we've used lube for actual PIV intercourse is after our babies were born, you tend to lubricate slowly the first few months of breastfeeding. We always try to during anal, but sometimes we forget, and luckily I'm juicy enough to 'drip down' so we've not had too much problem.

I have asked him if he wanted me to give him a hand job with lube and he kinda went, "Why? Just do it." So, no, not for that. I know he doesn't use anything when he jerks off. I do, though, especially if there are toys involved. I always get "caught" though, later that day, if I didn't take a second shower, he'll go down and start to laugh and say, "I know what you were doing after I left for work this morning."

We used to not use lube at all. I could get wet enough on my own and if we needed a little extra we used saliva. Now we use lube simply because it's faster and stays on longer.

He doesn't always use it for masturbation, but for everything else.
