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!

Truly our strongest soldier.

kitty salute

2

I completly forgot about the buter as lube lmao 😂😂😂

2

Why does the vanilla coffee syrup sound like the most uncomfortable one? Sticky and gross to touch... eugh

7

It definitely had some friction issues 😬

4

Hello - may I suggest Leave Me Behind by K.M. Moronova for the MMC's use of her (non-menstrual) blood - tbf he was solo for this... Until it dried at least... So idk if it counts...

3

Thanks, definitely counts!

Every word of this comment was like a slap in the face 😭😭

I can't believe I just read that😭😭

2

The dried part was the worst to imagine 💀 ack

2

Ughh that is the worst part to imagine💀😭

2

mud as lube is the actual worst idea i’ve ever heard.

8

So gritty. Those areas don’t need exfoliation.

5

I'm just thinking of every crushed bug carcass that's laying in your average pile of mud 💀

3

no!!!!! 😭😭😭

wdym banana

Well first they get a banana, and then they peel it… and I don’t want to spoil it. The book was better than I expected! @The-InSean-erator delivered this masterpiece here.

1

all these comments and not a single person has mentioned sewing machine oil??? how is that something you have on hand but not lube? I'm almost intrigued enough to read it. Almost.

4

i fear i will take one for the team here. i have to know why sewing machine oil was grabbed over lube. they better be a sewing machine shifter

3

Now I really want a sewing machine shifter book 👀

3

my creative writing class rearing its head at the thought ill do it myself

2

I’d be first in line to read it 🧍‍♀️

1

you'd think we'd run out of unique sentences by now, and yet... (please tell me how it goes 👀)

3

@Maomi mentioned the sewing machine oil! One of the MC’s is a fashion designer, they were in his studio!Remember though, it’s coconut oil in disguise, which you should never use on a sewing machine!

3

oop, missed that! important life lessons here though, folks. no coconut oil on sewing machines ✍️

3

I’m sorry Crisco?!?? hang on honey, I can’t find the lube - lemme thumb some Crisco in there real quick

2

The crisco was used in a MM book. It’s not quite so strange in the queer world, or at least it wasn’t in the past, it had good durability for large insertables. I think commercial lube has come a long way and the compatibility of insertables varies now.

2

well damn - thank you for educating me on it ❤️

Alternate title: Literally BEGGING for a yeast infection. This is unhinged in the best way.

17

So true!! Most of the ones I added are men using the substitutions. Maybe less of a risk? Externally and internally though, so the risk is still there.

4

Yeah I realized after I said it that there’s a lot of reasons to use lube that don’t involve a vagina.

3

sewing machine oil? shit sign me up i guess

16

I think that one was actually coconut oil in disguise. Which is a crime against machines!

7

but coffee syrup would be so sticky!!!

12

But tasty?

3

maybe but think of the consequences.

5

I’d really rather not 🙂‍↔️

4

Exactly what I thought. All the other ones I could accept but not the syrup. So sticky and expensive!

1

omg this reminds me of a girl ive met that told me the craziest story about a roommate of hers who was stealing and finishing all her extra virgin olive oil - and he didnt even cook. turns out he did sex work

8

We love a resourceful entrepreneur.

7

Not the EVOO, not in this economy! 😩

10

i know right? thats criminal

4

Right?! Water based lube would legit be cheaper 😭

6

I laughed so hard at this, because, true.

5

Nothing virgin about that olive oil amirite

15

Ayoooooooo 😂😂😂😂

7

I really hope it's blood as in menstrual blood... Pls let it be menstrual blood, pls pls alt text

8

I have bad news

6

I haven't read Psycho by Onley James but given it's mm, I'm guessing not 🫢😏🤨

4

OH! alt text

4

I read it, and it is definitely not 😏 the other Clausrophilia is also MM 🫣

4

Sorry to destroy your hope!

4

And I forot the title of the banana book, I need to look it up

I think I need to drop everything I’m currently doing to read about a banana.

5

3

3

Glad you enjoyed it

2

I admit I was not prepared to take it serious, very pleasantly surprised!

1

3

4

Priest by Sierra Simone... anointing oil as lube.

4

Added! Thanks 🙏

2

Oh my that was something

2

qNFRsvp.gif

Coffee syrup??? 😱 Blood??? What? I'm honestly more shocked by that than I'm by butter or oil options (except sewing machine oil bc wtf)

4

There is a kink for everyone!

2

I guess so. 😅😭

2

Ooh, you gotta add Rainsquall by Penny Moss! They use some kind of…lard? Cooking grease? Idfk, but it’s wrapped up in a tin 😂

3

Sounds disgusting, I’m adding! Thanks!

2

and in which of these will i find the butter? asking for a friend.

3

Nailed by K.M. Neuhold I need to narrow down the other.

1

Nailed ✍️ writing this down to pass along to my uh… “friend”! 😏

2

Oh! I found it for your friend 🥸 Fall On Your Knees by J.A. Rock

2

Olive oil also proves useful in Never Have I Ever by CE Ricci.

2

I’m not locating this book? Is one of the Willow Dixon books?

1

Sorry it's called Never Will I Ever!

2

Bound to Two Bears by Kelex... They use... Mud.

The banana reminds me of the cursed minion novella that a few of you read minion with banana
