KY jelly better: If you read the label, most moisturizers contain many chemicals that are not intended for absorption through a mucous membrane.

No problem: I would avoid the peppermint varieties- they kind of burn!

Masturbation: Yes, you can use these creams, although it would probably be less expensive to get a large tube of KY jelly.
