Found an interesting recipe that required coconut oil, so with all the gastro hype, I bought some. The recipe was ghastly - my mom's pie crust made with coconut oil rather than crisco was, well, limp. Plus I had to first microwave to tube just to get the oil out (god only knows what that crud does to your coronary arteries), and then realized I've got 8oz of grease that I can either dump or find some use for. Started using it on my winter dry legs. VERY nice. Then, what the hell, put some on my chaffed dick. Really nice results! I don't give a hoot about a keratinized glans, but the skin on my shaft and in my coronal ridge behind the head of my dick really softened up nicely. Jerking off became more pleasant, and better still, much less chafing when someone else aggressively did the hand nasty to me. I haven't tried jerking off using coconut oil for lube, too afraid of making a really nasty mess, but the day is coming. So yes to coconut oil, just not in cooking.
