Well, for me and probably many others who discovered masturbation while bathing or showering, soap is the first thing used. It only takes a couple of episodes to realize that while slippery, it is also abrasive.
Saliva is the defacto standard lube. It is plentiful and always available. The trouble with it is that it rapidly dries and must be replenished often. This is not a big problem as it only takes a second to swipe a wet tongue across the thumb and finger(s).
Looking around the house for something suitable yet not too obvious, guys often discover salad/cooking oil. Of these, Sesame, Canola, & corn oil are best. Hand lotion can also be used as a good lubricant.
Looking into the matter I learned that using a small amount of tepid water with just a few drops of conditioner added just sufficient to make it slippery works well. The downside of this recipe is that it must be prepared before each session as it doesn't seem to last.
Of course in these enlightened times, brave young men will often go purchase a commercial product like Astroglide or K-Y, etc. off the drug store/department shelf.
For my first 12 years of mastrubation, I used absolutely nothing. I never felt the need, and besides, I am a late bloomer and didn't learn about lube for many years.
Then finally I was living on my own and became curious, so I tried a bunch of products:
Saliva - Never worked that well for me.
K-Y Jelly - The regular stuff doesn't last long enough for me.
K-Y Ultragel - My favorite! If I'm going to use lube, I grab the bottle that's right on my desk.
K-Y Warming Liquid - Disaster! Stay far from this one unless you have an urge to know what a combusting urethra feels like.
Astroglide - What my then girlfriend used ... she wanted to watch me jack off so I borrowed her lube.
Other guys have told me that Probe works really well. I want to try it.
There's also something called "Boy Butter" which is supposed really really good for men.
I use saliva. Simply because I don't want bottles of lube (whether it be lotion, cooking oil, or KY) on my night stand. I would be to worried about the questions i would get from others.
I tend to produce a lot of saliva so its never been a problem. this is a catch-22 because my girlfriend complains that my kisses are too wet, but I never run out of "lube." I prefer it this way because sadly I masturbate more than I make out with my girlfriend (let alone sexual activities @#$ #$%@!*& #$%@IT!). Lol.
i just use my good ol' left hand. usually i end up pre-cumming (if i'm tryin to go for like 30+min.) and then i use that, which works pretty fine for me.
my boyfriend never used to use anything...first time i gave him a handjob i used a bit of lub. i think he liked it because he commented on it being less rough, so now he is using lub...:)

Lube reduces the amount of friction and makes everything slide a little easier. You can pump harder and last longer and it feels even better IMO. I guess it is like unprotected sex with a woman ... her natural lubricants coat your penis as you pump in and out of her.
And especially if you like to wank a lot, lube will help minimize the wear and tear on your parts. :)
Me, I only put lube inside my (uncircumcised) foreskin and never on the shaft. It makes the glans/foreskin friction really nice and smooth. :)
Hi Law,
The use of a lubricant on the penis changes the character of stroking immensely in several ways.
* You can grip and squeeze the shaft as hard as possible and still be able to stroke the shaft without moving the skin within your grasp as much. (The difference between lube and no lube is the amount of pressure you can apply and still stroke
* You can encircle the shaft with the lightest grasp of the fingers and glide ever so lightly over the shaft not moving the skin at all. The difference is that the stroking action is must softer and smoother while the sensations become more intense
* You can devote more time and attention to the Frenulum and the other hotspots around the Corona rim without chafing the skin. Here, again, the difference between lube and no lube is duration and the increased intensity of the sensations
* If you masturbate more than a couple of times a day or enjoy multiple orgasms then a lube makes it much less likely that you will chafe the skin. In addition, if one of the multiples is being a bit illusive and hard to trigger, using a lube will help
* A lube makes it possible to fine tune your stroking and use very fine delicate movements when near the brink of an orgasm
! To recap, the benefits are that you can grip much harder--grip much much lighter--and derive stimulation that is much more intense--use very fine movements when near the brink of an orgasm when you want to peak your response yet not trigger the orgasm just yet. In additon, you can protect the surface of the skin.
STDude, you could benefit from a nightstand with a drawer or cupboard in it to keep personal items out of sight (out of mind). I used to keep a lube as well as a tiny marinated artichoke heart jar in mine used to capture my ejaculate. The rim was also used to rub against the Frenulum and would immediately trigger an orgasm. Two jobs in one. No muss no fuss and cleanup was as easy as a quick rinse of the jar.
Butter?!?!?! No thanks, just put it on the toast, that'll be fine.
Lube: for me, being circumsized, the lube feels good when I want to stimulate the glans. however, I've been jerking it for years without any glans stimulation (sheltered, I know) so I'm used to it that way. It really changes the experience, and I'm just more comfortable an in the groove my good old way. Lube is a MUST for sex, but I only use it once in a great while when I'm flying solo. It also makes things even messier (not the hockey player) than they already are. Overall I give it a Not Last Place.

Baby lotion (or mineral oil) is one of my faves. And, if you've never tried it, bubble wrap (small bubbles) with baby lotion can make for quite the orgasm!

Hmmm...Bubblewrap you say? that sounds interesting. I'll have to try it someday. I know I've seen "masturbation mits" (like a glove) that is made of a gel like substance that has bubbles in it. Maybe thats the same idea?
Anyone have any reviews of "flesh-lights"? I hear some guys say that it's better than sex, which is interesting, because I thought it was simulating sex, whatever... Anybody have any experience?
bubble wrap!
man, hearing that made me want to go order something and give it a try.
all my friends use some sort of lube, and so do i when I have a lot of time, or am about to take a shower anyway.
lubes:
lotion - meh, not that good
conditioner/ shaving cream/ soap/ shampoo - burns like hell if it gets in your pee hole lol
baby oil - best i have used so far, but then again most of the time I don't use any
banana peel - a little weird, feels good after it warms up. but then your wang smells like banana for a week.
If you are circumsized, you should try using some type of lube, uncirc - you don't have to, it is all preference and situation

I'm sure it is. And, although I haven't tried it yet, it could be used to enhance lovemaking with a woman... nipple or clitoris stimulation, etc. :cool:
hm i use olive oil in a condom and pump into two cusions - heavenly I can't last more than a few strokes. probably the best way to train for lasting longer

i think it makes rubbing on the shaft more smoother...
ive done it once...basically you dont have to grip the penis, because your hand slides (or what ever you use..:p) down the shaft really easy.
Oh right, does that make it better or worse?
