I'm more a reader than a writer, but still my two cents.
1) I despise Lubrication spells. I feel they are one of the most useless, redundant and fangirlish spell inventions ever made in slashdom. It's not as if lube (or anything that appopriatly replaces it) was extremely rare or extremely hard to get, and it's a spell nearly exclusively hinting for anal sex (unless someone makes creative use of a spell that is actually for something completely else, then it's okay). A tad obvious. Also, making for good lube when one can't go and buy some, can be fun and creative. Same when none is available at all.
2) No strange lube used, ever. Read a few things, but most of the times it were things like honey or other very sticky things which only make me go "Uh..ow? This defies the purpose completely?". Condoms: I don't like them IRL, simply out of aesthetic reasons so they don't make me very happy in fanfic either, but I can deal.
3) Last comment: Lo and behold, wonder and gasp, it is not always unrealistic to write anal sex with no lube, especially in a con scene. There are really people who feel no pain when penetrated, even by a cock. Mostly when they're in the right mood. There recently was a discussion about it in gay_sex_tips and I myself was once one of those persons as well.
