Anal Post: Lubrication, Lubrication, Lubrication

I must commend Sinclair Sexsmith over at Sugarbutch, which is fast becoming my favorite sex blog on the internet. She's been doing a series of posts regarding anal sex, including toy and book reviews, porn suggestions, and interviews with both professional porn actors and good ol' regular folks. I'd check it out if I were you and had half a brain.

We love anal play in my house. Lady is a confirmed addict to the stuff, and I am too: It not only represents a real dominance thing, but it also shows me that she accepts me fully for who I am ( you'll find you're a whole helluva lot less self-conscious about your body once you've been given a rimjob ). There's a big difference in the feel, especially on her end, as her normal girlish moans turn into something deeper, throatier, and honestly it's pretty hot.

But the first-time user can run into a lot of problems, and chief among them is selection of Lube. In the small-ass sex shop in my small-ass town, there are at least 30 different brands and varieties. In bigger cities, maybe double that amount. Online? Foget about it you're spoiled for choice.

So, given that I have the benefit of experience, I decided to give back, so to speak. These are, in my experience, the top three lubes for anal play.

3. LubeXXX Original -- I dont use this so often. It's got more viscosity than Astroglide, but it suffers from Astroglide's major downfall: stickiness after a certain point. And that can just kill the fun. It isnt my go-to, but I keep a small tube in the car just in case we feel spontaneous.

2. ID Velvet -- I love this stuff. It just has the best feeling of any lube I've ever tried. Afterwords you arent sticky, or even greasy ( an issue that even my number one has ), you're just smooth. Like 'fresh out of a shower lotioned up and air dried' smooth. It just doesnt beat out my number one because it's a great all-purpose lube; this next one is pretty much built for anal sex.

1. Boy Butter -- I've always maintained that if you want to get good at something, you consult an expert. It's how I feel like I've remained a good and generous lover. I watch queer porn to learn new techniques and things of the like. I also figured that Gay males would be a fountain of info as to what a great anal lubricant is. And Jesus did I strike gold. Boy Butter is just an amazing anal product. It's creamy in consistency, though it seems to melt and turn clear with some skin contact. It retains it's slipperiness for what I'd estimate is a good 30-45 minutes without reapplication, good for those of us who are into a bit of the old sex/tease/sex/taste/sex. It does leave you feeling a bit greasy afterwords, but Lady swears by the stuff. On top of that it's pretty affordable ( something I really cant say about ID Velvet ), and it seems to last forever ( in a year we havent gone through the 9 ounce bottle I bought ). Highly highly reccomended.

So there you have it. And remember if you're new to this game: No matter how much lube you think you need, chances are you need more.
