Fanfiction and anal sex and lubrication: To Spell or Not to Spell

[themostepotente]

That is the question, folks!

When writing anal scenes (and no, this is NOT limited to male/male slash), do you prefer a nice lubrication spell, or does your preference run with something more creative in the way of commercial lubricants?

What's the strangest item you've used as a substitute for a lubricant?

Have you ever written fics with lubricated condoms?

Have you ever written fics with no lubrication whatsoever in say a non-con scenario?

Finally, anything else you'd like to add on the topic?

Let's hear what you have to say!

Sure. It doesn't explore the concept just much. Mostly smut. And pot. :)

... as much fun to take off as it is to put on! *snicker*

All I have to say to that is *SNERK*

I definitely tent to have Snape using his own product in the privacy of his rooms... I can even see him carrying a bit with if he thinks he might get lucky, but then he's a picky bastard. *grin* OTOH, I had him use Black's wand on Black in a rape scene at #12, simply because it IS so dismissive. Why waste something good on someone he hates?

I agree that in the standard scheme of adolescent fumbling, the wand method might be a bit awkward... but then it just adds to the authenticity of teenaged sex if handled properly. It's not like they can whip up a batch of Snape's secret recipie in class and smuggle it out for their trysts in the Astronomy tower...

I think I just rambled off on the idea of why people would find a spell funny - as my brain often does. Either way works for me as long as it doesn't distract from the action.

*bows* I'm glad to be of use. I mean, to amuse.

MAJOR giggles and grins!

I chose to use the condom as a matter of characterisation. It was used by a Draco Malfoy who had a bit of pollution anxiety about anal sex: he wasn't the sort to stick his bare fingers into his partner's arse and if he felt that way about his hands, it seemed natural that he might not wish to introduce his more cherished appendage into Potter's fundament unsheathed. I didn't mean to suggest that this particular Draco was a hopeless prig or that he was neurotic about filth (I'm saving that for another Draco).

That last sentence made me giggle something awful :-)

I really enjoyed reading your take on condoms in the Potterverse.

I'm afraid I'll have to disagree:  strawberry jam is right out.  Seeds!  Ouch!
