Never-Ending Bottle of Lube

When we first made each other’s acquaintance, I was carrying with me a large-ish bottle of this lube, which I adore far more than any reasonable person should love her lube.

We used it. A lot.

Many a night I came home slippery from head to toe—and I’m not exaggerating when I say that, because quite frequently we indulge in massage and hair pulling (or at least he pulls my hair; his hair is too short to pull, alas), both of which let lube flow everywhere.

Eventually the bottle ran low. I stopped carrying it with me, reasoning that the few drops left would not be enough to quench our insatiable lusts for slippery fluids, and I didn’t want to overload my purse with multiple lube bottles just in case I got searched by the police.

So I started traveling with this, which is also really lovely. It made me taste like pie, so I was told. Cherry pie pussy. Yummy. But as is the way of the world, eventually it too ran low, but not low enough to throw out.

I left the nearly-empty bottle at home and this became my go-to lube. Sweet tangy green apple, how I loved to lick your flavor from the turgid flesh of my partner. In the fullness of time, we took our last (or almost last) nibbles of this forbidden fruit. I wanted to leave this bottle at home too.

However, I’m just too cheap frugal to throw out almost-empty bottles of lube, so for a while I brought with me both the cherry and the green apple lubes, risking the raised eyebrows of whichever police officer was unlucky enough to pull over my speeding mini.

The lover, being if anything even more frugal than yours truly, and over my somewhat perfunctory objections, decided to co-mingle the two lubes so that our mid-coitus fumblings would be limited to but one bottle.

Green apple-cherry lube? Who would have thought that it would taste so pleasant? Pleasantness notwithstanding, eventually it lubed its last fuck and had to be retired.

At this point we attended a pool party—a naked pool party. I resurrected the nearly empty bottle of my favorite waterproof lube, reasoning that we’d use the last of it during our watery dalliances.

Focused on other things, we got our bad naked selves into the pool without the necessary lube. We were forced to ask a bystander to reach the bottle from my bag of goodies. “Why do you need lube?” he asked. “You’re swimming in gallons of lube!”

And that comment right there shall serve as proof for why that particular bystander finished his evening sexless.

Because we are nothing if not friendly to other couples sexin’ it up nearby, we offered up the bottle of lube for the use of a pair of our friends. “Lube? We don’t need no stinkin’ lube!” they proclaimed. We left it on the ledge near them and floated away.

Some little time later, they called to us from across the ripply waves. “That lube is awesome! It makes all the difference!” We just smiled and kept on going.

When we left the pool, our friends were still going strong (don’t give me any grief; we started before them and continued on in another location), so we happily allowed them to kill off the bottle themselves.

Then this lube moved from in the hole to on deck to up—though a reversal of that order would seem more appropriate in this instance. I would have brought it into play sooner, but it’s packaged in a pretty glass bottle and I worried about its portability. Also, the pump dispenser is stingy.

What? These things are important! Don’t mock me.

Holy cow didn’t it last a long time. It was the loaves and the fishes of lube. It lasted through weeks upon weeks of play; after each drawn-out session of togetherness I’d peer into the bottle expecting to see the bottom, but it would seem as though we’d used none at all.

But eventually it too ran out. We fumbled around a bit with a mini-bottle of some KY foolishness, but after one last session where my pussy felt like it had been glued shut by the repulsive gumminess that is KY (ew), I flung the almost-full bottle into the trash with a curse.

And now, we’ve taken a huge step together. Huge. For people in our circumstances, there are few steps more huge.

We’ve pooled our resources to purchase a liter of our favorite lube. Yes, a liter. As a dear friend of mine Twittered, “Girl that’s an awful lot o’ass fucking!”

Why yes, I most sincerely hope that it is an awful lot of ass fucking! And fisting! And other fun stuff too!

Dear lube, I cannot sing your praises enough. If I could, I would have a 55 gallon drum of pure luscious silicone lube delivered to my garage. I would equip the top of the drum with a pump dispenser.

That way it would be but a matter of adding a few squirts of lube to a never-ending travel bottle on my way out the door to date, assignation or orgy. It would be heavenly.

Er…y’all do use lube, dontcha? You’re not just letting me rattle on and on about lube when you have dry sex, right?

Please tell me you use lube?

Responses

Why, yes, thank you. It’s from Target (pron. Tar-zhay’). Alas, I don’t use nearly as much as you, but it is at times indispensable.

Couldn’t get my whole hand in there without it!

Never. But your advice will come in handy for my planned shopping trip to the BIG CITY. I believe you are the one that got me thinking non-stop about lube… a previous post. So, THANK YOU. I wonder if I shall be able to live without it, once I’ve tried it?

Signed: a not-so-dry innocent

Hmm. I confess, I’ve only used lube for sex once, when for whatever reason I didn’t get wet enough. I’ve only ever had vaginal sex, and in my experience, that’s actually better when there’s a little more friction? Am I speaking out of ignorance? :-p

LOVE lube. I rarely masturbate without it, and I use it as an aide to give it good to the woman I’m with. You ladies….Masturbate your man with lubrication and watch him be your little puppy….I love it.

Just by myself, darlin. Just by myself.

I love my lube. I need a better quality one that will withstand some good fucking or a good self session but Yes! Lube for all!

Yes, we use lube. Not huge amounts, but yeah… We lube.

We use lube - Astroglide is the best we’ve found so far…but I’ve only bought it at the local stores, never purchased it online. Does the flavored lube really taste the way it’s supposed to?

Huh? Squish. Huh?

Always for anal sex. Always… And hand jobs, my yes, that too !

Actually… I usually don’t need it. I can’t even go pantiless most of the time because I have a… well… an “excess moisture” issue… :x

So you’re saying I should use lube?? ;)

Hmm I haven’t had the pleasures of anal sex, so we have not used lube. The wifes pussy is usually sopping wet so we don’t really need it. Sure there have been rare times when she is a bit dry, but it usually doesn’t last past me performing a bit of cunnilingus. Of course I only have sex every 3 days, and its about an hour long. I imagine if she had my appetite then we would us alot of it.

AAG, you are always so cheap (err, FRUGAL) and giving us these great conCOCKtions to make at home (ie: laundry soap) can you not come up with a homemade lube for us? We’d be oh so grateful.

DIY lube? I don’t think so!

There’s some things on which one should NEVER skimp!

I very rarely need to use the lube… but we have lots of it for when it is needed!

Absolutely - in the gallon size dispenser type. We keep a couple of the smaller bottles and recycle them - refilling them up as necessary. Much more polite to see a small bottle of lube bedside than the gallon jug. =)

Ah, I love lube! I remember when I first discovered it back in the day…granted, it was ky, but we all have to start somewhere.

Now I’m a babelube fan. Great for the vajayjay. Great for the bum. All around great, really. My bum friend Jed takes his everywhere. Really. Everywhere.

God I love that lube.

my god, it feels so long ago that i was thinking, “lube? why use lube? is there something wrong with my god-given wetness?”
oh how things change.
i consider lube a sex toy, and i agree with you, aag; NEVER skimp when it comes to this.
i’m very fond of pink, but i’m still in search of the perfect water-based lube (i’m allergic to glycerin, and am totally freaked out by the idea that anyone would put something containing propylene glycol on their tender bits, so it’s turning into a slightly pricey hunt).
mmm…. lube…
it’s the greatest.

I’ve never used it. Yet I’ve never once had “dry sex.” Which is why I’ve never used it.

55-gallon drum? that doesn’t need a pump, that would need a full-out keg tap!!! oh, the mental image…

and yes, of course i use lube.

which prompts me to ask, though: is there a sexy way of lubing up? it always seems to break the rhythm of our foreplay. things are going nicely and then we have to pause while i reach over and grease myself up adequately. it feels so damn clinical. and i know there’s no reason to feel this way (and my Pirate never does anything to suggest this), but it also makes me feel a wee bit inadequate, like i have to compensate with lube for something nature ought to do and isn’t. y’know?

My lover once jumped out of bed to find some ‘baby oil’ to use on me. It was OK but not great, and made a mess on the bed-linen so I suggested that I should get some proper water-based lube. I bought a 255ml bottle of ‘Sliquid H20′ and frankly it’s so bloody marvellous that I’ve since bought three more, i.e. a litre :o)

It mightn’t be strictly necessary, but it transforms hand jobs, for both of us! We’ve just had a week in Sicily, and when we got there she said mournfully that the bottle had leaked en route. There was enough left, but only just, which made me determined NEVER to run low again :o)

i have never used lube….~blush~

All the time, alone.. and often when with a partner (i.e., not often). And there are some toys out there that you literally cannot use without lube!

Praise lube :) (ID Glide here and O’My, a local hemp-based brand in lovely non-hallucinogenic flavours–no, really)

i only use it when anal toys are being used. but i’d also like to know if you have a sexy way to apply it, something not along the lines of stop/fumble for the lube/hope your hands aren’t shaking too much to get some out without getting it over your pillow, the walls, etc./spread it around over whatever body parts or toys you can get your lube-y hands on.

there’s got to be a better way!

Um, no, not really. We use some for anal, of course, but otherwise no. I produce enough natural lubricant for 10 or 12 other couples to borrow some at any given time. Some have said it’s really too much. Not exactly something I can control . . .

Maybe it’s just because I gush so embarrassingly much. I was away all the natural lube.

:)

Wet Platinum. That stuff is the lube that keeps on lubing. Nothing too special about it, other than the fact that it works. For a long long time. I’ve been tempted to try the tingly stuff, but somehow the thought of drizzling tingly oil on the naughty bits frightens me a bit. It’s the ‘what if’ factor.

I’m from that generation that thought “If you need lube, he’s not doing it right.” Well, even we “old dogs” can learn new tricks. We love lube. And he’s doing everything right. ;-)

I wish I knew a good way to convince people that lube isn’t to fix what’s wrong: it’s to make what’s already great mind-blowing.

The lubed-up sex experience is indeed different, and I think that freaks people out at first. When they’ve come to expect so much friction they are worried about its lack — usually for their partner’s sake. Or it seems like too much mess and abandon. To these people, I want to say: it’s okay for sex to be messy! Use a pump bottle, and keep a sex towel near the bed. ‘Sall.

I think Liquid Silk is the most new-lube-user-friendly. It’s like hand lotion, and unlike some silicone lubes, doesn’t resemble alien slime.

Now that I’ve discovered lubrication, I find the friction without it to be distracting from the warmth and movement and pressure that actually gets me off. Yay lube!

I love the lube :) I’m a fan of Pjur, but it’s quite expensive for a starving grad student (read: who spends all her extra money on Njoy and glass products), so I usually rock the astroglide.

My favorite flavored lube is with out a doubt Sex Tarts…we’re trying to get it here at Eden, but I bought mine after multiple taste tests at Fascinations in Denver. Mmm - they taste like Jolly Ranchers. I love the grape, the green apple and the strawberry. Delish!

I love me some lube; without it, sex is blase, boring even. Add just a little to the mix though, and suddenly, even the most boring vagina becomes a penis/dildo slip n’ slide!
