It's not safe for use with latex condoms, but the thread title is "Best lube for jacking off".
Inexpensive, water-based lubes are fine for quickies, but are lousy for longer lays and JOing.
Silicone-based lubes are great for long-duration, edge-type play because they stay wet longer, but are hyper-expensive.
When condoms were a strict part of my love life, I always had two lubes: Elbow Grease or Crisco for JOing and Eros for fucking.
Bbucko: You're a man who speaks to my heart: Crisco. In my day there were
Abolene Queens (usually drag queens who used the stuff as cold cream and a lube) and us
Crisco boys. My adopted home in the late 60's into the 70's was always referred to as San FranCrisco (for obvious reason) and we were smugly proud about it. And it took very little to create one's own edging lube by adding a few drops of menthol oil for those occasions you wanted a butt buzz or a bit of desensitization so one could fuck for hours. Of course, about 1980 things suddenly changed.
I like the silicone stuff for long edgy rave sex, especially when we're in the ocean or pool. But find that I have to soap and lather down four or five times to clean myself up, otherwise the small amount of silicone remaining tends to generate an unpleasant odor. But I'm an uncut hygiene freak. Never have understood men who didn't learn how to keep their foreskins clean, odor-free, soft and dry (
Corn Starch. I've posted it many times. A simple dusting of corn starch inside and outside the foreskin after bathing/showering is the de facto foreskin deoderant.)
Helene Curtis (a famous, but now defunct cosmetics company) had a competing cold cream without the smell of Abolene Cream which meant as young'ns we could rage around in our bedrooms at home with company and our mother's were never the wiser, because there was no left-over tell-tale floral fragrance.
It costs an arm and a leg, but the Squeeze and I are quite fond of
Boy Butter. Seems to last much longer than other water-based lubes. Tasty, too. :smile:
