Then you have plenty of options available in the market, from oil based lubricants to water based ones. There is ZERO TOLERANCE FOR CREEPY OR HARASSING BEHAVIOR HERE — in posts, comments, messages, or any other contributions. Use gloves and condoms and then change the gloves and condoms before switching from the anus to the vagina. Boy Butter H2O from Boy Butter Products is a gentle concoction of natural ingredients, including shea butter, vitamin E, and aloe, that provides lubrication to the most intimate places without irritation.

Its thick consistency can be messy and difficult to remove from the skin after use, and being oil-based, it will most likely stain fabrics. One study looked at lubricant usage in intercourse among men, and found a link between baby oil and higher rectal infection rates.

Overall, shea butter is a good lube alternative for many people, however, its safety depends on your circumstances — and what your skin can tolerate. As a bonus, it may leave you with softer, smoother skin, as raw shea butter is a common skincare ingredient!

The rest of the ingredients in butter are water (about 16%) salt (less than 2%), and other milk solids. Shea butter’s texture is thick and it offers a lot of cushion, and it’s safe as long as you don’t use it with condoms made from polyisoprene or latex, as the oil will degrade them, and quickly.

If you have the urge to poo you should do so before having anal sex because unless you are sexually aroused and derive pleasure from feces (which some do) shitting yourself during sex is probably not a turn on. All oil-based lubes have the potential to break down latex, which increases the risk of the condom breaking. There are, however, dangers to having anal sex and then immediately switching to vaginal sex, even if done consensually.
