Lotion as Lube Clarifications?

[hammertime3675309]

I just have a few questions regarding the use of lotion as a lubricant for male masturbation. I've been using it for several months now, but I have some concerns.

1: Does it dry out the skin? I noticed that, when trying to perform dry masturbation other day, that it felt harder to do, and my skin felt way dryer.

2: Can lotion have long term negative effects? I've already posted a topic on this website regarding that question, but I'd like more clarification. Most on this site say that it doesn't have any long term effects, such as on the reproductive system or the likelihood of cancer from possible carcinogens. Perhaps maybe more information, personal stories, or another source (that is not a forum, if possible) would allow me to be satisfied with a proper answer.

And an unrelated to lube question, can sperm clog up the shower drain? I hardly masturbate in the shower, so it should be no problem for me, but I'm just curious...

Thanks!

i dont think so

If you're worried about using something for lube that is not designed for that purpose then the answer is obvious, use a purpose designed lube. It will most likely feel better too.

Just be sure never to use shampoo.. oh god that stuff is horrible if you don't wash it all off.

Lotion should be fine.. I used to use it and I didn't notice anything drying out/feeling uncomfortable after. Just make sure you rinse afterwards

Lotion is good but Vasiline works better.

Personally i've never used lube before, but i'm hoping to sometime soon. As for effects, i don't think there are any. But it should be fine to use.
