"LUBE"


Dear Jack,

What is the best kind of lube for barebacking?

Dear Criscoboy,

Just as everybody tastes different, everybody also has differing tastes. As this is true, I can only give you my opinion of what lubes I prefer. My favorite lube, bar none, is Vaseline. I enjoy the way it warms up while you are sliding your cock in and out of a nice bottomboy's ass, and yet it never loses its "cling". I also like Crisco, but the smell is quite hard to get out of everything from sheets to your sling. If Vaseline is too heavy for you, you might try Albolene ~ it's sold in drug stores as a cold-creme type product. It has many of the virtues of Vaseline without the weight (Lo-Cal?) Likewise, "Elbow Grease" has many of the virtues of Crisco but in a lighter formula.

I tend to stay away from water-based lubes as they get sticky after a while, and if you're into long lasting ass fucking, you'll have to re-apply it a lot. Plus, if there's a load already in that ass, the jizz will cut the lube, and vigorous pounding will wear the goo off and make a hard pounding very uncomfortable for the bottom.

If you're a bottom and HIV-negative, you might wish to stay with the water- based lubes that contain Nonoxynol-9. This may give you a little more insurance against HIV transmission, although I believe the jury may still be out on the overall effectiveness of Nonoxynol-9.

Be forewarned, Nonoxynol 9 has been reputed to be irritating to the rectal lining, and may NOT necessarily protect you from HIV transmission.

In any case, try out different lubes if you are comfortable in doing so (I once shagged a handsome young trucker with a 10" cock, using only a stick of butter for lube... it sounds like a Honcho story but I swear it's true!). Eventually you will find you may tire of one brand and will embark on that endless search of a new "perfect" sex grease.

At least you can do some stimulating research!

Good luck,

~Bareback Jack.

  • Vaseline
  • Crisco
  • Elbow Grease
  • Albolene
  • Cum
  • Spit

I don't personally like water-based lubes as they are gooey, stringy, sticky, get everywhere you DON'T want them, they "pill" or turn into little rubbery balls, taste particularly awful, and are an overall nuisance. However, KY does work as an excellent hair gel...
And hand lotion is a joke...)
