Lube

[shadesong]

Okay, so I have a question, and this might be one of those "Shadesong is an alien" things.

During recent happy fun with a new person, said new person reached for lube right after reaching for the condom. I laughed and said "Oh, honey, you won't need that." But the fact that he defaulted to it - and I've seen people default to it before (but only the first time!) - got me wondering. In addition, I remembered an ex-boyfriend saying that prior to being with him, his OSO had never had sex without lube.

Now, personally, I have a very Pavlovian response to sexual situations. I see a hard cock, and honey, I'm ready. I am very ready. *drifts to happy place* *returns reluctantly* Seriously. So it took repeated experiences of this nature to make me really wonder - is that normal? Or is requiring artificial lubrication normal?

I know, I know - "define normal!" Seriously, though, I'm curious, so I'm taking this thoroughly unscientific poll. Note: This is for vaginal sex only. I do not have a self-lubricating ass, and I am pretty sure I don't know anyone who does. So.

Or, as the British tabloid press might call it, rumpy-pumpy.

I thought you announced that you weren't available, not so long ago...

That was a friendly mocking of terminology, not an offer. :)

Meh. I'm aware. I was counter-mocking.

Uncertainty, clarification... *tousles your hair* Hi!
