Question 1

can i use pure avocado oil or coconut body moisturizing oil for anal lube?

Accepted Answer

: Use if you wish. You might apply some to another skin surface to see if you have an allergic response/contact dermatitis with either. If no reaction in a day it would be tolerated by more sensitive/absorptive surfaces like the anus.

Question 2

embarrassing but, ideas for long term anal itch? tried moisturizer, antifungals and corticosteroids. disappears occasionally for a day or three then back after a random bm. itching creates painful cuts that require bactine to numb. help.

Accepted Answer

Anal itch: along w/cancer sore(s) as seen in your history suggest the possibility of a weak immune system.  Please continue to see your doctor.  Ask him/her about taking several doses of vitamin C daily, but not to the point of giving you the runs.  Consider changing your laundry detergent or type of underwear. You can also consult a dermatologist about the itch.  Peace and good health.

Question 3

can i use mineral oil for just basic anal masterbation lube? it's safe right?

Accepted Answer

YES: YES USE CLEAN HANDS  ..Mineral oil is a good safe personal lubricant. Wash your hands for 20 seconds with soap and water each time you reuse the bottle of mineral oil to avoid contaminating the bottle

Question 4

partner and i had anal sex and he tends to bleed during and after. we use a lot of lube to be safe. i don't understand why this happens so often?

Accepted Answer

Anal sex: Your friend's anal canal is being traumatized by your penetration. You need to stop now before you and your partner are exposed to HIV and other blood borne infections.

Question 5

my long term boyfriend and i have been practicing anal sex recently. we make sure to warm up and use lube. what are the benefits and risks of this?

Accepted Answer

Not designed for it: Just like in any big city, some streets are one-way and some streets are two-way. A vagina is created or evolved to be a two-way street (penis in, baby out). However, the gastrointestinal tract is designed to be one-way, with an opening on each end. Food goes in the mouth, and the brown stuff goes out the butt. The exception is when one vomits what the body thinks is bad or toxic for the stomach.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Wouldn't try it: because some people have sensitivity to Aloe.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

: Not recommended without a glove but if you do please wash your hands thoroly with soap and water

Question 8

can you use aquaphor as an anal lube?

Accepted Answer

Probably: but plain vasoline is cheaper and has less chemicals which could irritate mucous membranes of the anus/rectum
 
Hope this is helpful

Question 9

me and my girl is planning on doing anal sex. i have lube jelly. can we use that instead of a condom?

Accepted Answer

Well: Anal tissues are fragile and can be easily damaged by anal intercourse. Pregnancy does not occur through anal intercourse. However, sexually transmitted diseases can be passed through anal sex.  Lube jelly is used to reduce friction. A condom is used to prevent transmission of STD's and to prevent pregnancy.

Question 10

i (gay) had anal sex on 2nd dec 2012. my partner used dotted condum but didn't use lube.now my anal hole entrance is paining. isgood to use wocaine 2%?

Accepted Answer

Be careful: You should be examined by a colon and rectal surgeon to be sure you have not damaged the sphincter, to rule out a fissure or tear and also to be sure you have not developed an infection or abscess from the tear. If you have a tear, topical anesthetics may cause you more pain than relief. Get a check up.
