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!

It bugs the hell out of me when people skip mentioning any lubrication at all (except in a non-con where the bottom is clearly suffering), but beyond that I don't care if it's a spell or something from a jar. In HP fic, the word "tube" kind of throws me out, because it does suggest Muggle store-bought, and only certain characters can pull that off.

True -- like Lucius Malfoy would never go cruising for KY and Anal Ease :P

Or come to think of it, tampons for Narcissa.
