Men: What lube do you use when masturbating yourself?

I used Vaseline when I was a teenager; now I prefer Trojan products ... nice and slippery.

Astroglide or Probe.

I usually will go with a coco butter scented lotion. It is fine for being slippery enough and smells good during after having a good orgasm. Water based lubes are fine too but can be a little too gooey at times.

I don't use lube. Might try it and see if get different sensation

I am uncircumcised, so I do not need any lubricant.

None. I go all natural!!!

I use Vaseline and I also use it for sex if needed.

Generally none.

10W40! (I jest.)

Although nearly anything slippery will do in a pinch, I frequently reach for some sort of hand lotion for penile masturbation just because it is most readily accessible in my home. Water based lubricants lack staying power needing to be reapplied. Petroleum lubes can be a bit tacky/sticky feeling, but are fun sometimes.

I try not to put too many chemicals inside me though, so for anal play I usually opt for Astroglide or coconut oil.

I'm 63, masturbating since age 15. I'm uncircumcised with complete comfortable movement of my foreskin over the whole head, covering it completely and then some. As a result I've never used lube ever, and never even thought that anyone did until I started reading more about cut men more on the Internet twenty years ago.

I am circumcised and almost never use lube.

If I were a super hero instead of kryptonite I would be felled by lotion (creams, salves, jellies, balms...). I've never felt the need for lube and thought it's not a sexual tie per se I think anything like that would kill my efforts. There have been times KY or fingering of that nature has been involved but those are circumstantial and not hunted for.

Abolene is the best

Nothing (I'm not circumcised). I've tried a few times with lotion and lube, but I really failed once when I used soap while showering: I got myself a really painful sore spot on my sensitive friend.

When younger I would often use any kind of available skin or hand cream, preferably something that had a nice floral or feminine scent.

Nowadays however, and don't laugh, I find that using talcum powder is quite agreeable. Of course it's not a lubricant as such, but a thick coating does make the skin soft and frictionless and provides a sort of pleasant, dry and clean sensation. Gentle rubbing over a powdered skin is a subtle but fun sensation. Talcum powder also comes in all manner of scents and most are also quite nice.

And it cleans off very easily with a washcloth and water.

Vaseline is messy. Saliva gets dry quickly (but my wife likes using hers on me). Water-based personal lubricant dries quickly. I generally go without lube.

(I don't masturbate that much - I only do so when on travel. My wife and I disapprove of masturbation when the spouse is near and ready to provide sexual relief.)

None.

Baby oil works great for me, water based lubes get sticky after a little while.

None. Not circumcised.

Coconut oil is pretty good 😃

I am circ'd but I don't like lubricants. I like the sensation of the skin sliding up and down on the shaft. I don't like stimulation of my glans as it's way too intense.

Liquidsky: Isn't it a bit rough on the circumcision scar? I mean, it's probably up there when you slide the skin, your hand is rubbing on it, right?

There is absolutely no circumcision scar. All the reproductive tissues, penis and vagina heal extremely well, even in older age. I once saw a man who had lacerated his penis with glass. I was told by urology to close all the lacs with chromic gut suture. After warning him to not get an erection, he returned in ten days with no evidence of injury at all.

Liquidsky: But when I look at pictures online of erect circumcised penis, I see a whole pink area behind the glans, an area on which no skin is sliding, contrary to an uncircumcised male. Isn't it easy to chafe this area while rubbing?

That pink area is not a scar. When I masturbate I grab the loose tissue on the shaft and rub one out. I don't slide my hand over the skin.

Liquidsky: So you completely ignore that pink area and the glans?

In my case I like pulling the foreskin front and back, over the glans, and back.

I don't like friction on my distal penis It's okay with vaginal penetration but not for masturbation.

Liquidsky: That's what I would think. If I retract my foreskin fully and I rub the denuded area with the hand without much lubrication, it's unpleasant.

(Note: I know that it's a highly debatable topic, but this is the reason why I think it's not unreasonable to think that circumcision does reduce the pleasure in masturbation, because it makes part of the penis hardly usable for it, at least without lots of lube or special toys - a part that's put to use in uncircumcised men. The XIXth-XXth century advocates of circumcision for reducing masturbation while not preventing marital intercourse were perhaps not wrong.)

PN are you seriously suggesting that I experience diminished pleasure because I'm circumcised? Are you for real? I guess I'm just a numb nuts after all. You're utterly obsessed with trivialities.

Good old baby oil....
