I can’t believe it’s not lube!
I thought I'd slide in here with my first list. This is for substances not labeled specifically for sexual lubrication. Think butter, blood, coffee syrup, sewing machine oil. Desperate times! 🧈🍯🩸 I’ve included coconut oil mentions, even though that’s pretty standard lube. I’ve omitted spit. Recs welcome!
