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've used lubrication spells when the deliberate effect is to reduce the eroticism of the scene. Making the 'caring' act of using a lube into something so perfunctory is a great way to turn off the romance (such as in a Snape/Black fic like 'Sorry', when the sex was meant to be without any caring or affection).

In stories where caring and affection are important, I'll use more tender applications of potions, for example.
