Skip navigation! Story from Sex. Cory Stieg. Using a beauty product down to the last drop and having an "empty," can be a moment of pride and a sign of a quality product. But if you reach for your favorite bottle of lube in the middle of sex and it's empty, that's just inconvenient. The good news is there are a few household products that, when chosen wisely, can double as lubricant.

Anal sex is no longer a taboo in society, and millions of couples around the world are enjoying it just like foreplay, oral sex, and vaginal sex. However, the region surrounding the anus does not lubricate naturally like the vagina, and it can be a painful experience for many people if they try to do it without lube. Although there are many different types of personal lubes on the market, and we would certainly recommend those above anything else, there are times when people run out of supply, and they are in a place where there is no lube around.

Sorry to liken anal sex to food, but if it were a sandwich, then you and your partner would be the slices of bread and lube would be the good stuff inside. Because anal sex without lube would be not only dry, but also pointless. In fact, unlike a sad sammie, lubeless anal sex can actually be dangerous. The friction can cause actual microtears to the skin and anus, leading to infection. No, thanks.
