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!

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.
