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!

Lubrication spells are actually my least favourite thing about HP fandom. I think fingering is sexy as hell, and a nice, slow stretching makes for good foreplay.

I don't write much, but suncreen lotion is definately the weirdest and possibly most impractical.

I never mention condom use, b/c I don't find them especially necessary for fiction.

I don't go in for non-con at all.

Final thought: I also find it extremely wince-worthy when no mention is made about lube at all. It draws me out of the story b/c I start to wonder if the author really knows how the whole anal thing works.

Fingering IS sexy as fuck, I agree.

Is it entirely possible. Fisting -- now then we encounter serious issues.

Possible, I'll allow. But not plausible in most of the situations where it's left out.
