Age: 17         Location: mi         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut

Age: 19         Location: tx         Foreskin:         

I usually use my saliva. It's convenient and no risk of anyone finding it stashed somewhere. Only problem is now I salivate whenever I get aroused.
Age: 15         Location: Michiga         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

cooking oil, makes wanking more nice/fun

Usually I use a little spit and I'm good to go! But I've also used some different lotions and soaps which I don't recommend because certain ones sting and burn your pee hole. But some good ones are patroleum jelly (Vaseline) or even using a real lube like KY jelly.

I rarely use lubrication but when I do it's usually vegtable oil. I use it because I like the sensation of slipping around.
Age: 14         Location: US         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I use KW tough massage 2-1 tingling... it washes off pretty easy, and stays "luby" for a really long time... It allows my hand to slip up and down my dick with no friction. I love it!
Age: 18         Location: Ontario         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I usually do not use lube, but I just recently began to experiment with Vaseline. I very much enjoy using it, and have found that even though I have a foreskin and can masturbate quite frequently, lube helps, and makes the orgasm much more intense.
Age: 14         Location: Washington         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

I tend to go dry most of the time, though some vaseline intensive care lotion never hurts.
Location: Ohio         Age: 17         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Only when using toys like my Fleshlight, or the Baggie and the Mattress. When I'm using my hands, it just gets in the way.
Age: 24         Location: Michigan         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I use body wash in the shower as a lube since it is near. Otherwise a decent lotion works good.
Age: 16         Location: WA         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

A guy, Because its something I've always been curious about but never did (too scared to ask)...and now that I'm older, its even harder to ask.
Age: 22         Location: MASSACHUSETTS         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

I use my saliva it feels like the real thing, or ill use shampoo if I'm in the shower it feels really good.
Age: 15         Location: South Carolina         Foreskin:         

Occasionally, however I usually just masturbate dry.
Age: 25         Location: West Virginia         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

most of the time yes, make it more enjoyable
Age: 16         Location: Kansas         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Yes. I use a commercial, water-based lube and would recommend everyone use lube because it makes masturbation SO MUCH BETTER! Get out of dry hand land and pull into lubrication station, you'll be glad you did.
Age: 50         Location: Virginia         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Yes, a big dollop of hand cream within a rubber condom. Slide the condom over your erection and then stretch down over your testicles to prevent any "riding up" of the condom. Masturbate in the regular fashion using a warm soft towel. This creates a great slippery feeling, reduces any chaffing as the lotion does not dry out. This works best for those who enjoy frequent or extended masturbation sessions.
Age: 44         Location: Canada         Foreskin:         

No, I don't find lube to be all that helpful. It is just messy to me.
Age: 17         Location: NY         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Yes b/c if I don't my dick gets soar
Age: 18         Location: NY         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I have used KY and soap (in the shower) but not on often. Even though I have no foreskin I have developed the technique of massaging the shaft without rubbing the glans so soreness did not happen. KY was used when I wanted to include the glans in the 'action', or when masturbating with a male friend/partner
Age: 64         Location: UK         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Usually vaseline, hand soap, or my own salivia
Age: 18         Location: PA         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I normally use spit because it is easy and available. It just feels better than dry and allows me to go faster
Age: 17         Location: California         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

No, I don't usually put anything on as I wank it, whether it's a sock or lube.
Location: GA         Age: 15         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Yes, I use Target brand "warming" lubricant, usually in the bathroom. I use it because it simply feels better and it doesn't irritate my penis like other liquids might (shampoo, etc.)
Age: 44         Location: San Diego         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I only use lubrication sometimes for masturbating. I use vaseline if I do use any. Even though I am cut, it is loose and I have enough skin to jack off comfortably enough so there isn't any friction. And besides using lube is so messy.
Age: 17         Location: Maryland         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

conditioner when in the shower
Age: 18         Location: pennsylvania         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut

No I don't since I am uncut.
Age: 15         Location: Brockville, Ontario, Canada         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

no, because it'd be awkward if my mom walked in and I had lotion all over my hands. I do wanna try it sometime though, but I'd have to be home alone.
Age: 18         Location: Ohio         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

99.9% of the time I don't, but if I really need a change up I'll use body wash.
Age: 17         Location: FL         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut

Age: 24         Location: uk         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

Yes, less dry
Age: 15         Location: S.A         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

I am usually a Dry Jacker. But if I need to get off really quick I will sometimes use lotion or lube. Especially If I need to get in the shower I will squirt some lotion in my hand and jack away.
Age: 37         Location: Ohio         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

saliva
Age: 18         Location: india         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

Sometimes, when I want to enhance the feeling, I usually use the regular type of Durex Play (the one in the blue tube). Other than that, I usually play with myself "dry."
Age: 41         Location: Singapore         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

yes I do I use lotion or baby oil, when I use lube it takes me longer to cum and feels alot better when I do
Age: 18         Location: Morrill Nebraska         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut

since I am uncut I don't really need to use
Age: 15         Location: u.k         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

yes I use lotion with aloe in it, because its more smoothing. plus it gets your skin very soft.
Age: 13         Location: oregon         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I use saliva. It feels great and I love the sound it makes!
Age: 18         Location: California         Foreskin:

Age: 13         Location: australia         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

ya my spit because it never runs out
Age: 13         Location: Canada         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I use Vaseline because it's meant for slickness, I doesn't get in your pee-hole, and it feels real good
Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         Location: Hong Kong         Age: 15         

Yes, I use spit. Why? because its cheap and being cut lube is better.
Age: 16         Location: australia         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I use KY lubes. It feels really good. It prolong my sessions. Sometimes when Im using lubricants, my session will take around 1-2 hours. And I can experiment as much strokes I want.
Age: 20         Location: Texas         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I generally do no, I started without and so I find it messy. I can do it anywhere without, so it more convent.
Age: 21         Location: Ontario         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Yes so it doesn't cause my penis to chaf when dry.
Age: 41         Location: Minnesota         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Sometimes I have a lot of pre-cum and don't need lubricant. Other times I just want it as slick as possible. Usually I use water-based lubricants.
Age: 28         Location: Somewhere         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

I frequently use some form of lubricant, usually Durex play. I'm uncircumcised so It's not a necessity, just a treat!
Age: 20         Location: UK         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

I always have used Lube.. I Have tried doing it with no lube but never got the same pleasure as I did with lube. I use Spit as my lube
Age: 15         Location: Illinois         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Yes, I always use lubricant because my penis doesn't secrete enough pre-cum to my liking. I prefer personal lubricants versus house hold slicks, such as soap, lotion, spit... etc.
Age: 15         Location: California         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I masturbate with cream, lube , butter, cooking oil, whip cream...if I am masturbating in public most likely I will masturbate and spit on my own penis for lubrication.... my aunt loves to suck it and she spits on my penis and then she watches me stroke away... I sometimes bang my cousin if she catches me jerking in the kitchen... there is only one female in my family that I have not penetrated.... Is this normal?
Age: 22         Location: toronto         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

Always, I almost can't masturbate without it. Usually I use Aveeno non-scented lotion, its really nice and very moisturizing. I find that it stays pretty slippery for a long time. The non-scented part is important too, I can't stand the girly smells of some of the lotions out there. If I can't get any lotion then I just use my own spit, but that's just a back up.
Age: 18         Location: LA, California         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Of course! I can hardly remember the early years of masturbation when I actually didn't use lube. It just hurts without it! I used to use some hand cream that was lying around my house, but recently switched to this lube made specifically for masturbating. It's water based and pretty cool. Also, if there's nothing around I just use my own spit
Age: 19         Location: New York         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Yes I always use lube when I beat it because if I don't, my penis gets really sore and I can only get off once a day.
Age: 13         Location: MA         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Sometimes I do use a lube, prefer a brand called mens cream its like a light weight vaseline, long lasting, very smooth & slick and lasts a long time. For years I used the lube every session but of late I'm mostly a dry stroker for some reason. By natures design, the penis is meant to be lubed. Pre is a nice lube too but I don't usually make that much. Sometimes I do though and I enjoy using it.
Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         Location: california         Age: 55         

As a solo method, I tend to see lubrication as a hassle, it feels amazing, but I don't care for the mess afterward. Only in times of extreme arousal do I shoot for the lube. Though, when masturbating with friends, they insist on it being used- which is usually helpful and a more enjoyable experience for everyone.
Age: 16         Location: Texas         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I make a lot of pre-cum, which I really like. I'm also uncircumcised, which negates any need for lubricant. Of course I've tried several, and I like aloe vera gel the best. It's not messy, especially in the shower, which is what I like the most about it. Usually I never add any lubricant.
Age: 17         Location: Oregon         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

Sometimes I use lubes when I dont feeling like just masturbating dry. I vary on lubes. I use differents things, but the one I used the most would have to be the Alove Vera sun lotion I have. It feels really good and I enjoy using it. But if I'm not at home I'll either masturbate dry, or I'll use my spit, which is another good lube.
Age: 16         Location: California         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I always use lube. When I'm in the shower I use soap of course. And when I'm in bed I use either vaseline or no lube. It feels great no matter what!
Age: 14         Location: Humble TX         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I like to either use spit or Vaseline. If I want to go fast it is spit and slow it's Vaseline.
Location: Texas         Age: 15         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

The only kind of lube I use is a natural lube. That is right, I like to use my saliva. It helps prevent fiction and makes for a better orgasm. Though I have used lotion once, I must say it was to messy for my standards.
Age: 23         Location: NJ         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

Sometimes I use lubricant. I tend to use Vaseline Men body & face lotion. Why do I use it? I use it because it because I livery slow when it comes to using lube, and it feels fantastic. And I take forever to jerk with it (hour or more).
Age: 17         Location: Falcon Colorado         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I usually dont because I'm uncut, but when I'm in the shower I like to pull back my foreskin and use lube to masturbate for a change. feels good.
Age: 18         Location: New York         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

sometimes in the shower I use my shampoo or conditioner
Age: 16         Location: USA         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

i usuallly dont need lube because I'm not circumcised, and my penis head is always kinda wet. I never really understood all the hype with lube with my friends because they are circumcised, and need lube to masturbate
Age: 15         Location: CANADA         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

I have been masturbating for about 5 Years now. When I first started I only knew how to use a water jet (bath, shower, ext,). About my secound year masturbating I found out about my hand all I used was my spit when I first started masturbating with my hand. Then anout 1 year later I found lotion feels good. So now I use lotion and spit. I use spit about 65% of the time and the other 35% I use lotion.
Age: 18         Location: California         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Yep. It just makes it a little less harsh - if you know what I mean - plus the lead up is often better... I mostly use lotion - but my favorite is baby oil gel.
Age: 13         Location: NY         Foreskin:         

Yes I do use Lubricant when I masturbate because it feels good and it makes my orgasm last longer
Age: 14         Location: ma         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

ussually no put sometimes yes.if so I woukd use a mixture of maybe vasiine and lotion or just hand lotion
Age: 13         Location: pennsylvania         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Yes, I have masturbated many different ways but I think using Vaseline is the most pleasurable.
Age: 44         Location: Denver, Co         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

No. I never use lube. I always stroke it dry haha.
Age: 15         Location: Canada         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

Yes, I love using baby oil gel. I use it because it doesn't dry up quickly like lotion or water based lubes (KY Jelly) and usually lasts the duration of my masturbation session - and well it feel really good too!
Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         Location: NC         Age: 25         

I used to only use my own spit, because it was free and never runs out. But now I use KY gel. It's nice and sticky, but if I do long masturbation sessions I might have to use more than recommended because it dries up when I rub.
Age: 19         Location: Florida         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

i usuallly dont need lube because I'm not circumcised, and my penis head is always kinda wet. I never really understood all the hype with lube with my friends because they are circumcised, and need lube to masturbate
Age: 15         Location: CANADA         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

I love to use honey! For some reason I like to use it when I tell my friends they think its crazy. But when I ejaculate it mkes my seamen taste soooo good. and my girl friend says int makes my penis taste better when she gives me a blow job.
Age: 15         Location: United states         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

No I do not
Age: 16         Location: Wisonsin         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

no I do not use lubricant, as I cannot get any with regularty. I tried some once and the feelings were not as powerful
Age: 14         Location: Australia         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

No, I don't, I don't like the way it feels on my penis when I am masturbating
Age: 26         Location: Ohio         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I have to use lubricant because I am circumcised. It's not very enjoyable to go at it dry. Sometimes I wish I still had my foreskin like a lot of my friends.
Age: 16         Location: Calgary         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

No, sometimes when I'm in the shower I'll use lotion, but I usually go dry. I love the warmth in my Hans as I tug away.
Age: 16         Location: Novi, Mi         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I use KY lube or whatever hand cream or substitute is available. Prefer KY, though, because it works the best. Lube helps keep your sensitivity and decreases friction meaning less soreness after a good stroking session.
Age: 24         Location: NS, Canada         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

I use my pre ejaculate.
Age: 21         Location: Iowa         Foreskin:         

Sometimes and very rarely. I simply use moisturiser or something like that. It works well.
Age: 15         Location: UK         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I use my precum.
Age: 21         Location: Iowa         Foreskin:         

Every once in a while I'll use some petrolium jelly or whatever I can get my hands on; I haven't gone to the store to get lube, but maybe one day I will.
Location: Houston, Tx         Age: 17         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

Durex play heat.
Age: 15         Location: England         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

I usually never have to use lubrication, I create a lot of very free flowing pre-cum and its serves me very well.
Age: 60         Location: ohio.         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

not often but when I do I like the warming kind
Age: 28         Location: georgia         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

It depends. Sometimes if I am really horny and want to take care of it fast and hard, I go without. Other times I use my own spit and sometimes I use hand lotion. I have to admit my own spit feels the best and makes me cum harder.
Age: 17         Location: Minneapolis, MN         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

yes, I use lubrication every so often, I sometimes use spit or any other resource I can get such as Petroleom Jelly, / Vaseline. I think it enhances the session and also I can often have multiple orgasms using lubrication.
Location: UK         Age: 16         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

No because I'm only 16 and I don't have any lub around
Age: 16         Location: IL         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I don't use lube when I masturbate. I like to feel my penis without it, and I actually find it harder to masturbate with it on because my hand slides up and down the shaft without causing much stimulation.
Age: 15         Location: UK         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

usually I do, I use astroglide, and I enjoy using it. it feels great and I think makes the time better then not using any.
Age: 21         Location: State         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

No I do not use lube. I've never preferred to use any kind of lubricant. At one point in time I did enjoy using spit, though. That was when I was much younger. I don't know exactly why, but I'm a dry kind of guy. I tend to lose sensitivity relatively quickly, and with lube this occurs much sooner than by only using my hand.
Age: 19         Location: Los Angeles         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I just use regular lotion (kind of original, I know!) but it really works good. haha. I LOVE MASTURBATING!!!
Age: 16         Location: Gawga         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I have used many different types of lube over the years, KY, olive oil, body lotion, saliva, but the best would be the body lotion. It feels the best, and as long as you keep applying, because it dries, it's so smooth and makes my penis feel soft. The resulting orgasms are really intense. Also, I don't feel embarrassed buying lotion like I am when I buy the KY or similar lubes.
Age: 29         Location: California         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

no
Age: 15         Location: USA         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Yes I do use lubricant when I jack off mainly because I'm circumsized and it feels better, I do have enough skin to pull over the head still but I still love the squishy feeling that the lube provides
Age: 17         Location: california         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I am uncircumcised so I usually don't use lube. I would like to know what most guys use to masturbate with. If I do use anything it's usually hand lotion.
Age: 20         Location: Texas         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

I don't use any lube when I jack off. I started out using none, but then tried to use some and it just didn't feel right to me. so I just jack off when I need to without lube.
Location: California         Age: 17         Foreskin:         

personally I use Vaseline I think it slides good and has a bit of grip to it and u dont need to use that much
Age: 15         Location: saskatchewan         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I use baby oil because I like how it slides so easily.
Age: 13         Location: United States         Foreskin:         

No I do not I think it feels better without lubricant
Age: 15         Location: USA         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

no because most of the time I am to lazy to get some or make some
Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         Location: pleasanton         Age: 13         

I use spit because it feels like I'm getting head and I like the feeling when someone suck my penis my friend mickey once did after we madeout it was really fun
Age: 13         Location: USA         Foreskin:         

Nope, my foreskin makes sure I don't need lube.
Age: 15         Location: NZ         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

Yes, I find it impossible to masturbate without it. I use any kind of hand cream I can find around...
Age: 39         Location: Israel         Foreskin: Unsure         

watter based lubricant and flashlight
Age: 32         Location: usa         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

No, I generally do not use a lubricant. I've tried many times in the past, but I have found that I like the natural friction that I feel with no lube. I have a much better orgasm when my hand can get a good grip and not slip around.
Age: 17         Location: U.S.A         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Following my infant circumcision, I am left with taught skin on my penile shaft. I tried wanking dry as an adolescent and was always left with abrasions. I experimented with and tried just about everything imaginable from hand lotion to butter, cooking oil, hamburger, watermelon, shampoo and hair conditioner. Of course, there was time when I had to give peanut butter and the dog's tongue a whirl. Only once... These days I use Astroglide and let the dog keep to licking himself.
Age: 29         Location: Cali         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

No, I do it in the shower
Location: Sac         Age: 15         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

No I do not use any lubrication because I know it's weird but I eat my cum and lube makes it taste weird.
Age: 16         Location: seattle, washington         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

No
Age: 18         Location: Illinois         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

yeah I use either spit, lotion, your hot baby oil. not too hot tho. and then I rub my hole body in it and roll around on a shower curtain on the floor. I finger my ass furosiously until I make myself cum all over my body and in my mouth. my ass hole gets so wet. mmmmmm
Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         Location: Arizona         Age: 22         

no because my penis is still pretty smalll so if it gets slippery my hand just slips off and I can't masturbate
Age: 12         Location: michigan         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I usually go dry (no lube) for my masturbation sessions but occasionally, I like to use lube when I'm feeling REALLY horny. The first time I used lube was when I found some baby oil in one of the drawers in my parents room. I've used that for lube whenever I needed to masturbate real bad and I still use it today!
Age: 15         Location: California         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

When I masturbate I use water based lubes. I like the feeling of being able to stimulate my glads and since I'm circumcised water based lubes allow me to do this. They also provide a easy clean up, and can be used with toys.

Age: 14         Location: california         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I'm lucky enough to have a really nice foreskin, so I don't need a lube. I also produce loads of precum which is always fun!
Age: 28         Location: UK         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

I like to use, hair conditioner. Although you may need to re lube after a couple of minutes, it doesnt stay slick for more than 5 -10 minutes
Age: 16         Location: elk grove, ca         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Sometimes I use skin lotion, sometimes I use Vaseline; it just depends on what feeling I want. I use skin lotion when I want it more slippery, and Vaseline when I want a bit more friction and control. This has definitely changed since getting circumcised a few months back. When I had my foreskin, I didn't use any lubrication. However, now since I am fairly tight when erect, I use lubrication almost every time. I've tried masturbating without any lubrication, but it just doesn't feel great.
Age: 19         Location: CA, USA         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I use KY because of the easy cleanup. Previously used petroleum jelly, which gives better sensation, but is more messey.
Age: 26         Location: GA         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

No.
Age: 72         Location: USA         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Astroglide
Age: 62         Location: Virginia         Foreskin: Restored         

Mostly no. But if it's a long session I will use my pre-cum.

No
Age: 42         Location: US         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I masturbate without lubricant more often than I do, but when I do use it, I've used a variety of things. One of my favorites is a blend of baby oil and hand lotion (as recommended by Jackinworld.) However, I've also used saliva, which is great, aside from having an unpleasant smell and drying up quickly.
Age: 16         Location: Montana         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

No, I hardly ever use a lubricant for masturbation, because I am uncircumcised. I have tried some lubricants (hand lotion, baby oil etc.) but I still prefer masturbating with no lubricant.
Age: 16         Location: Australia         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

I normally use Eucerin hand creme, but when I'm horny or want a long session with a long build-up, I'll use Vaseline because it makes my foreskin roll so much more smoothly over my dick. Sometimes, if I just masturbate while rubbing the area on the back of my penis right behind the head, I won't use any lube. And to be honest, the only time I have precum I always lick it to get hornier. If I'm going for back to back sessions I'll save the cum from one for the next because it feels really good as a lube! Right now, I'm using my faithful old Eucerin, and it feels sooo good! Just another minute or two and I'll be in heaven. . .
Age: 14         Location: Kentucky         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

I usually don't. I would like to but it's just too much clean up.
Age: 13         Location: Virginia         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Most of the time I'm not in a situation where I can use some sort of lubricant. If I do though, it'll be spit.
Age: 15         Location: USA         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Yeah, I use Vaseline or saliva because it feels extra good and stops you from getting sore.
Age: 15         Location: Connecticut         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I use a commercial lubricant. I used spit for quite a long time but it made me feel truely disgusting and despite obsessive washing I could still smell it on my hands for hours afterwards. I discovered a tingling lubricant and I now swear by it. I have tried other brands but find they dry out my penis and it looses sensitivity. It's damn expensive though!
Location: United Kingdom         Age: 23         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

yes I use nivea body
Age: 16         Location: uk         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I often use conditioner since I often jack off in the shower, but if out of the shower and present, I'll use pre-cum.
Age: 17         Location: Illinois         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I do not use lubericant for masturbating, my reason is, well I'm 13. And as much as I would love some lube. I just can't get any without embarrising my self. I can't ask my parents, and I have no money. So the answer is no, I do not use lube.
Age: 13         Location: Arizona         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut

Age: 13         Location: ohio         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

As a circumcised person, I never used lube. Recently, I purchased two bottles of Astroglide. I think it is "cumderful". The reduction in friction makes sessions so much more intense.Since prostate reduction, my precum is much less, so the added slide is helpful in getting me off.Thanks for your website, I have been helped greatly by the information found herein.
Age: 62         Location: Utah         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Well I am cut so it really depends on how long I want the session to last. Usually I would go dry for a quickie as I have enough skin to enjoy a dry wank. But every now and then I enjoy a very long session while surfing the net and I have found that lube keeps me going. With coconut oil, Olive oil, Vaseline and other lubes I manage to enjoy the web for hours. I have been into mutual masturbation from the age of 6 and the same principle applies. A friend with lube is a friend indeed. Without lube I am dependant on a handful of masturbation techniques, but lubricant opens the door to a world of new techniques and shivers of pure ecstasy. The first time I experiences a friend rubbing my head with a silicone based lube in a Rosie fashion, my whole body shook uncontrollably as if I was going into shock. Since then I have experimented with many different kinds of lube and your JackinWorld suggestions have helped me master the perfect balance between an oil and silicone based lube.
Age: 37         Location: Johannesburg         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I almost always us a lubricant. I'm circumcised so it's almost a necessity. Once when I was 17, I didn't use anything. I masturbated 3 times that day and ended up with a little blood on my hands from the small cut it produced on my penis. I use body butter mixed with a little massage oil. The body butter is way too thick on it's own; mixed with the massage oil it's just right. Plus the skin on my dick is so soft and smooth at the end. Soapy water actually felt really great the one time I used it. Really fast strokes were possible with this mix, and the soap gave it an extremely sexy slipperiness. But it needed to be replenished often or else it dried out on my penis, plus it would have stung like hell if it got in my piss slit, so I never used it again.
Age: 44         Location: New Jersey         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I do not!
Age: 14         Location: Fl         Foreskin: Unsure         

no because I dont have access to lubes all of the time
Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         Location: USA         Age: 17         

I use a supermarkets own brand as it is cheap and easy to clean up after
Age: 29         Location: United Kingdom         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

When I first started out, at age ten, I didn't use any lube at all. I dry humped my mattress, or a soft blanket. Eventually changed things up a bit-- starting out with the humping, and finishing by stroking to climax with the fist method. At some point I started using baby powder to ease the friction that occasionally made me sore. I also used Crisco a few times, but it was too messy. I sometimes use baby oil, too. A year or so ago I started using KY lube, which is great stuff. I still like to start out by powdering up with some baby powder and humping my favorite blanket, and then finishing by applying some KY for the good old fashioned fist method.
Age: 38         Location: Vermont         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Yeah, I'm circumsized and I rub it raw if I don't have lotion or something.
Age: 13         Location: New York         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I occasionally use lube when I masturbate. It's not very often, though. When I do use, it's usually hair conditioner, because it works well and doesn't sting when you ejaculate, like some otehr shower products will.
Age: 16         Location: Florida         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

I rarely use any type of lubricant, because when I masturbate I've never have lubricant nearby. Despite I prefer stroking with lubricant (it's a very good masturbation session), the lazy it's bigger. (sorry for the bad english)
Age: 18         Location: Portugal         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

No
Location: Chicago         Age: 59         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Yeah. I normally use KY or Ansell silky smooth, I'm uncut so I dont really need it, but I use it anyway because it makes the experience so much more pleasurable for me
Age: 17         Location: Australia         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

No. I don't have a lubricant. Sometimes, but most of the time I just do it. Forget about the technical stuff.
Age: 12         Location: Georgia         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I do use lubrication... I usually use baby oil/lotion whatever is available in the shower conditioner. I like to masturbate quite fast, without lube I am sure you can't get the point.
Age: 19         Location: FL         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

no lubicant
Age: 37         Location: Canada         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

If I have time for a real, good, and long masturbation session, I will often use saliva. A lot of saliva. Preferably spitting and ,if my back is feeling flexible, licking/sucking on the top of my penis for more lubricant.
Age: 14         Location: VA         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

No, I usually don't. It doesn't make much a difference for me, actually.
Age: 15         Location: USA         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I like to use hand lotion because it just makes the experience much more pleasurable for me.

no
Age: 13         Location: U.S of A         Foreskin:         

My boyfriend and I use Pjur Eros waterbased lube. It's a bit pricy but it's super slick and lasts a long time. It's great for both masturbation and anal sex.
Age: 54         Location: Brooklyn, NY         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

a few times I have used vaseline, but most of the time if I use a lubricant at all I tend to use my own saliva, I usually don't use a lubricant because I masturbate mostly in the bathroom or in my bed at night and my house is relativley small so any kind of lubrication allows others to hear me it can get pretty loud and also becasue it takes longer sometimes, my dick is harder to get a hold of and it slips away even though I love the feeling!
Age: 16         Location: bay area         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

Sometimes I use lube and other times I just pull it till I orgasm. Either way it gives me awsome pleasure
Age: 37         Location: New York         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Yes I to use lubrication. My personal favorite is ky liquid which give a nice slick feeling. I learned to masturbate with a lube and hate it when I don't use it.
Age: 25         Location: Louisiana         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

No
Age: 34         Location: Sweden         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

Yes, because it just feels better to me. I actually usually would buy KY Lube, but Target didn't have the one I liked. So I ventured to try Astroglide, and I'm in love with it. It's a million times better than KY in my opinion.
Age: 20         Location: Miami         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I use KY with some water because it's a little bit toot thick. I don't use it all the time, just when I'm very horny. I have more pleasure and the feeling is different than just dry.

Location: Los Angeles         Age: 27         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

the best by far "lube" I have been using for a long time is corn starch baby powder. It HAS to be corn starch baby powder!! It makes things so smooth and smelling so fresh afterwards !! It is NOT good for intercourse sex.
Age: 20         Location: California         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

No need.
Age: 18         Location: Ottawa         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Sometimes, Wet Stuff is my lube of choice - stays wetter for longer. If I'm really horny or need a quick clean wank I won't bother. I have a long foreskin so don't really need to use it.

No need.
Age: 18         Location: Ottawa         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I usually use spit or some lotion. It just enhances the experience a lot and that's why I use it. My favorite though is when you use a guys mouth and he sucks your penis until you cum and you bust a load in his mouth and swallows then fucks you in the ass until you scream for more.
Age: 17         Location: Georgia         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Spit. cheapest and provides good slip. sometimes use a water based lotion but thats rare.
Age: 28         Location: ohio         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Not usually unless I am going to include a little anal play which I like to do on occasion
Location: MA         Age: 30         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I personally use saliva although it seems a little messier; it's free and works extremely well.
Age: 17         Location: VA, USA         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

More often than not, I don't use a lube. I do produce a small quantity of pre-cum if I have been wanking for longer than say 15-20 minutes, but it's never enough in a normal session to fully use as a lube. In the off chance I do use lube, I actually use a small amount of saliva. It does make the session feel much better, but it shortens how long I can go - my reasoning is because it allows me to feel more per stroke, and than extra stimulation just brings the end about quick. Either way, with or without, it is always enjoyable.
Age: 23         Location: RI         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

yes... vaseline
Age: 13         Location: CALI         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I sometimes use a lubricant sometimes it is KY jelly and sometimes my saliva. I like the saliva because I never run out of it. I wish there was a lube that did not dry out and was slick until I was done cumming.
Age: 17         Location: Washington         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Yes. Astroglide
Age: 55         Location: Mobile, AL         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I normally use spit, hand lotion or nothing at all. Mostly it depends on my mood. Sometimes I want more friction so ill use none, other times I'll want less friction so ill use lotion or spit.

Age: 13         Location: Henderson,NV         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I always use lubricant! Most of the time it is saliva. It is readily available and easy to clean up. It is also free. I like using lubricant because it assists me while I glide my hand up and down my shaft and also lessens the chance of hurting my skin/

sometimes, if I do it is usually either just saliva or my own pre-cum. on rare occasions will I use some sort of lotion

Age: 60         Location: Australia         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I used to masturbate dry but when I was about 13 my cousin said I would get much more pleasure out of masturbating with a lube. So, that night I stayed at his house and he suggested using spit since its convinent. Ever since then I only beat off using my spit.

I do not usually use lube, mainly because I love to feel of the skin in my hand. Occasionally I will use KY, and sometimes in the shower I will use conditioner, which is probably the most sensational lubricant that I have ever used.
Age: 14         Location: USA         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Usually I don't use any lube because I am not circumsized and therefore don't find it necessary, plus I think it takes away from the sensation somewhat. On the occasional times that I decided to use lubrication I use KY or Saliva, and when I was younger I used to use hand lotion or vaseline.

Age: 15         Location: lll         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I have a foreskin, so I don't need to use lubricant, but I do from time to time for the sake of variety. If I have a long, slow session then I can produce quite a lot of precum, and this is my favourite form of lubricant, but I also use saliva and hand lotion quite a lot and have used vaseline, baby oil and cornstarch (as a dry lubricant). I generally don't use commercially available lubricants and avoid anything soapy, like shower gel, which I find irritates the area around the meatus and just inside the uretha. They all offer different experiences and some are obviously less messy than others.
Age: 27         Location: UK         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

If I am in a hurry or in a public restroom I jack off dry. If I am taking my time and want to have fun doing it I use lube. I like oil better than lotion or petroleum jelly. Sometimes if my friends are all gonna jack off we don't put on lube until we finish suking.

Age: 19         Location: Atlanta         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

For me... it is often much more sensual with lube of some kind. (Vaseline Intensive Care) watered down a bit works great. It feels more intense and great orgasms. However often I masturbate without for brief periods-or even longer periods just to keep it toned up mainly because there is no mess and easy to conceal if I need to stop. Most lubes need washed or wiped off with a damp something to feel clean or fresh after... and my penis and balls don't feel a little tacky. If you are in the shower or bath it doesn't matter... enjoy. I use Dove handsoap which is 25% Moisturizing Cream... and will jack a little often with Hair Conditioner when doing my hair... or just soap... It ALL feels good. Sometimes I jack enough to get nice and hard...then stop without cumming. Or I might start and stop several times just to keep my tiger in shape. If I feel the need I will release my seed... but usually I save it for my wife. I usually will jack a few times throughoug the day just enough to get hard. I think it helps keep my circulation and vitality going. I am 67 but look 50.
Age: 67         Location: Evansville, IN         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

yes, I use a lube when I masturbate. most of the time I use petroleum jelly. but when my penis was smaller I just used my pre-cum. but now that my penis is a whopping 8 inches it dosent make enough to cover my whole penis. I use a lube because it makes masturbating a whole lot easyer and sometimes better.

Age: 14         Location: Texas         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

No I never use lube. In all my life I probably have less than twenty times. I usually masturbate at least 3-4 times a day and just whip it out and start masturbating. There's no need for lube and I feel like I last a lot longer with out lube even though lube feels better. It's just an unnecessary mess I don't like bothering to clean up.

I started pre-cumming about 3 months ago and don't need lotion much anymore,I don't know why I did but it's really cool and all I have to do is think about anything to make me horny and it starts drooling out. Sometimes its a pain cause I get my clothes wet but it works good.

no
Age: 15         Location: us         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

I usually don't use lube for masturbating because I have my foreskin so there's no friction. But just for a change of pace I use KY jelly when I plan on going for a long time when watching porn. Or put a touch of vaseline under my foreskin which makes it glide even more. I pick those simple lubes because they are easily accessible and aren't locked up when you go into the store. Which means no asking a clerk. I like to be discreet so after I get them I use the self check out.

Age: 24         Location: Iowa         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I usually don't use lubricant when I masturbate due to the fact that I'm uncut and have always found it easier to do just using my own natural lube (pre-cum) and the foreskin. But occasionally I will use lube to change things up because it does feel different. If I have extra time on my hands (which I usually don't) and don't mind cleaning up the extra mess, I will use Astroglide. I found that to be the closest thing that feels like natural vaginal fluids during sex. I usually masturbate slower and let my imagination run free when I do it with lube. Otherwise, I'm just 'pulling on myself' really fast until I have an orgasm which is a very different sensation. It feels great both ways, but different.

i actually use my saliva since it feels a lot better to me sometimes but I also like useing sensual massage oils
Age: 14         Location: Ireland         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

If I am going to have a quick jack no, but if I am going for a long sesson and I am going to edge a few times I do.
Age: 30         Location: Santa Rosa CA         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Nope. I have a really long foreskin that works wonders.
Age: 13         Location: NY         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

Alot of the time I do using saliva but some times I ue pre cum
Age: 13         Location: N/A         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

I only use lubrication if I am using my 'Fleshlight' because it would be impossible to use otherwise! Other than that, I will smear the pre-cum around as it comes out. That is, if I don't wipe it off and lick it up, then it is no lube.
Age: 56         Location: USA         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Never
Age: 17         Location: UK         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

yes. I use baby oil, lotion and personal lube
Age: 15         Location: texas         Foreskin:         

Not usually. I'm intact/uncircumcised, so I can get off easily and amazingly without lube. In fact, when I have tried lube, I often end up just masturbating as if I wasn't using it, because it doesn't really help with anything. I love my intact penis and wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. (The few times that I have used lube, it was lotion.)
Age: 17         Location: Pennsylvania         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

I use Saliva or just pre-cum, since it's all I can get
Location: NY         Age: 16         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

Sometimes, depending on how much time I have, if not I use a bit of foreskin, that I guess wasn't cut off when I was circumsized, to whack off uncut style
Age: 15         Location: nabraska         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Yes, I use a lube. I usually use lotions, or my spit. But sometimes I use a banana peel. I also get a musk melon and carve a hole in it and just put my penis in and start pumping. It feels really good, especially if you heat it up first.
Age: 14         Location: America         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

no
Age: 15         Location: illinois         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

yes, I use hand lotion or sometimes even my own saliva. but lotion is the best in my opinion.
Age: 19         Location: St. Louis, MO         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Nope. I'm a student, living on a student income, so I cannot afford to spend on such luxuries.
Location: Canada         Age: 20         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

Usually no, because I'm uncut, but if some hand lotion is close enough, I use it to lubricate my penis. I also like to use precum, but it doesn't appear every single time. I think using lub is cool, because it feels awesome, but the bad part of it is the cleaning when you're done, because it's very ackward to be wet down there all day long.
Age: 20         Location: Uruguay         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

Nope, I strictly go without but when I do use it its a blast!
Age: 16         Location: Dallas`         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

yes my spit normaly in the shower I use vasalene
Age: 15         Location: pit         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Sometimes, but it's more often not around. Sometimes I like to masturbate with banana peels and such, it's just such a turn on. But really, I like to wait for orgasms and when I use lube it comes quickly. So really, I don't use lube often.
Age: 14         Location: North Carolina         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I use it sometimes. Because it makes me ejaculate faster and it feels better.
Age: 15         Location: Texas         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

of course! the feeling is more intense and you can play a lot more with it. I usually use my own spit, it's free and I can use it anywhere
Age: 19         Location: Spain         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

The answer is Yes and No. I use spit, pre-cum, or K-Y. Then sometimes I just go at it and enjoy the experience.
Age: 46         Location: New York         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Sometimes. I'll either use my own spit or WET. Spit because it's easy and accessible, WET because I was introduced to it by my (now) ex-boyfriend.
Age: 21         Location: Texas         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

As of late I have been using lubricant much more frequently.my main reasons are that it's quicker and allows me to reap much more pleasure,as well as having better orgasms.I am currently using Vaseline because that's frankly the only thing availble to me (being in a catholic household I can't buy other types without suspicion).
Age: 13         Location: Maryland         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I rarely use commercial lubricants, unless I have the time for extended sessions, and I never use them when I am chatting and wanking online. It's too messy on my hands and then transfers to the keyboard. Fortunately, I make copious pre of my own; it rarely needs a supplement unless I'm engaged in a prolonged session while relaxing in my bed. In that case, I opt for unscented Albolene®. It liquifies on contact and doesn't dry out; it intensifies sensations, so I must be careful not to ejaculate until I am ready to do so. Trust me; it's the best lubricant I ever found. Try it guys; your penis will thank you.
Age: 68         Location: 3rd Rock from Sun         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who make plenty of pre-cum. I'm circumcised, so lube certainly makes things feel better, but I don't need to use it because I have enough "pre" to get me there.
Age: 25         Location: Australia         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Sometimes I use lube and other times I don't. If I use lube I either like to use spit because there is no messy clean up or sometimes I use KY jelly. Either way I still feel the full sensation of my orgasmn
Age: 24         Location: Louisiana         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I sometimes use hand cream because it creates a much better orgasm, yet isn't as messy as other types of lube.
Age: 17         Location: RI         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

Usually not, I prefer the sensation without lube. Often I have to wipe off precum to prevent it from dripping down and making everything slick, though once in awhile just for a change I let it flow - when slick I can squeeze harder, also nice. I almost never use synthetic lube of any kind. For variation sometimes I cover my penis with a nice soft cum rag like an old T-shirt, the end gets wet with precum, the soft cloth feels good along the length of my cock.
Age: 57         Location: USA         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Either lotion or face cleanser or siliva, either work for me.
Age: 28         Location: Ohio         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

i try to but usually its just skin on skin action... I sometimes use lotion
Age: 17         Location: California         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Best lube ever that isn't like an advertised brand meant for masturbation that I've come across is baby oil... it's super slick and the best way to slip and slide to an orgasm...
Location: North Carolina         Age: 17         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Sometimes. I prefer Stroke 29 for lubrication during my sessions. It's designed to highten the sensation and though it feels amazing, it does cause you to climax quickly.
Age: 29         Location: Dallas         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Sometimes my spit, but not often
Age: 15         Location: South Carolina         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

No it feels better without it
Age: 14         Location: Byfield MA         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I use it if I am home alone but if somebody else is home I will just go dry. No smell, no mess
Age: 16         Location: Brooks         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

Usually. Lotion or conditioner. Never shampoo.
Age: 15         Location: Wisconsin         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

No I do not.
Age: 16         Location: Indiana         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

Sometimes I do, more often now then before. I use it because I think it feels better.
Age: 16         Location: Cincinnati, OH         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

I occaisonally use lube, mostly not though. It's not actual lube though but moisturizer or baby oil.
Age: 17         Location: canada         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Not always, It depends on how long my session is going to be. i.e there is no point making a mess if I'm only going to take 10 minutes. When I do use lube it is generally something specially designed for the job, such as the Durex range, or KY Jelly. I have experimented with Petroleum Jelly, but as alot of people will probably agree, it not very easy to wash off. And also cooking oil, but that is quite messy.
Age: 20         Location: UK         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

I have done in the past, but rarely now. I prefer to use a very light grip at a constant speed, and keep the range of movement short enough so that the loose skin just moves over the body without stretching. This results in a longer build up and better orgasm. Discipline is required to not speed up or tighten the grip. In fact it's better to reduce the length of the movement but not the speed as orgasm approaches. In the past I've found the best lubes to be cold pressed plant oil, olive, rice bran or sesame being my faves, with a few drops of water added from time to time if it absorbs too quickly. Leaves the penis feeling softer, silkier.

I've tried using lubricants before, but I don't like the way it feels on my penis. Since I'm uncircumcised, I just masturbate without it. It works much better in my opinion. I like the way that feels instead.

Age: 26         Location: CA         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

No, I've never really enjoyed lube. To me it lessens the pleasure of my masturbation experience. It's too much of a hassle to clean it up afterwards. The feeling of lube in my hand it pretty disgusting.
Age: 18         Location: West Virginia         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

I prefer to masturbate with lube (Water based)! just for the reason because it makes you fist slide over the penis alot smoother, you can do any method with lube, my favorite is the pillow hump, put the lube in a sandwhich bag slide penis in and off you go...results = best cum shots ever.
Age: 16         Location: England         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

Astroglide warming. Nothing glides quite tick it. When I first starting masturbating, I used liquid soap, but that never worked too well.
Age: 24         Location: Iowa         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

I'm not circumsised so I don't think I need to use it as much so I just stick to dry masturbation.
Age: 19         Location: Australia         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

Well when I first started masturbating I would use my spit to lube up the head of my penis. I did the work for a good two years, but when I turned 14 I found that lotion also did the job. Later on I moved to using baby oil, which I would pour over my entire naked body at times. Now my cousin, one year younger, and I jack off together and we sometimes use the other persons sperm as lube.
Location: Los Angeles         Age: 16         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

Sometimes, when I need that extra slickness for speed. I usually stick to baby oil. That stuff really works, and you can buy it without people turning heads!
Age: 14         Location: WA, USA         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I either use KY heating lube, or ID Glide, or WET... I use it because it increases pleasure!

Age: 13         Location: cali         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I sometimes use lubricant when I masturbate. I use it when pre-cum is in short supply. The persobal lubricant deffinately makes the session more enjoyable, pleasurable, and worthwhile. I use KY brand warming personal lubricant. There is not one thing that I hate most than having an erection but then applying cold gunk onto the penis. The warmubg lubricant is very nice. I say lubricant is important to have but is not necessary everytime I masturbate.
Age: 17         Location: United States         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

Yes, almost all the time! I sometimes use Vaseline hand cream, but most of the time, I'll use my own spit. It's very handy cause it's right there in you're mouth, it never runs out, and there's no missing bottles afterwards!!
Age: 15         Location: Thunder Bay         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I always have to use lubrication. Otherwise, it is quite near impossible for me to stroke. For the past 2 years my lube of choice has been my own saliva. Boy does that feel great! But it is a bit too messy. So sometimes I will use lotion. It doesn't feel as good but it is an easy clean up. When in the shower, I like to use hair conditioner. It feels pretty good. Lately I've been hooked on hand soap. Dial brand doesn't sting at all and has some good glide to it as well. Smells great too!
Age: 14         Location: Arizona         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I do sometimes, and when I do I usually use Vaseline. I used to use conditioner but it made my junk smell like flowers.. I use it because it makes masturbation feel better and you can stroke fast. When I use lube I like to make an O with my thumb and index finger and put it between my head and my shaft and just wiggle around a bit. It feels REALLLY good. Unfortunately, I have to masturbate in the shower most of the time and lube can get washed off pretty easy after your going for a while.
Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         Location: Quahog, RI         Age: 14         

I usaully use water for a quick and drying out method or I use soap for a long lasting effect but it then gets sticky after a while. One more thing, unless u want total sticky and just nasty lubrication do not use Vaseline
Age: 18         Location: United States         Foreskin: Unsure         

Yes, I almost always use lubrication when masturbating. I've tried all sorts of lubricants such as cooking oil, aloe vera, baby oil gel, moisturizer, hand lotion, and conditioner. Of course, regular personal lubricants like Astroglide work the best for me. Usually I avoid oil-based substances, because the friction can become a little too rough, especially on the sensitive head. Using lubrication allows my hand to travel up and down the shaft much quicker, and more consistent contact with all of the surface means more pleasure. Lubrication also helps me achieve much more powerful orgasms, and allows me to perform anal stimulation with my fingers or an object. However, using lubrication means my session will be a little more messy... so when I'm pressed for time I put the lube aside.
Age: 15         Location: California         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

Depends , if avaiable I use water based lube if not lotion works just as well. I think that lube feels the best.
Age: 17         Location: US         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Usually I do because I love the sound it makes going up and down the penis and also it feels better than doing it dry.
Age: 17         Location: St. Louis         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

i use lubricant for masturbation often but this is only because I a m uncircumcised there the "head" is sensitive and the brand is called scents

Nope, I have used lubricant before and it definitely feels good, but since I've got foreskin it isn't really an issue for me.
Age: 17         Location: USA         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

I have honestly never used lubricant (even spit) for masturbation. I guess one advantage of being uncut is I can just grab and go!
Age: 24         Location: New York, NY         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

No, while I do love to use lube during masturbation, I find that it is faster and cleaner if I just my bare hand.
Age: 17         Location: Arizona         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

I usually don't, but when I do I use KY Brand lube because is feels smooth against my penis as a masturbate.
Age: 18         Location: California         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

Most of the time I masturbate dry, mainly because it saves time and doesn't get messy seeing as I just shoot into a tissue or something. But if I'm especially horny and have loads of time I will use lube. Sometimes I buy the Durex Play Lubrications which feel great when I'm jacking off. If I dont have them then I will use a body lotion or anything really that's in the house (as long as its not dangerous for my penis). I've never really understood people who use there own spit to jack off with, I think that's rather disgusting. I would use my own pre-cum but I never produce nearly enough to use it properly and enjoy it. But by far, using a lube definitely increases the pleasure and the climax is awesome!!
Age: 15         Location: UK         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I love it with lube. I even prefer it that way. I'm circumcised, and that may have something to do with it; the uncut guys I've talked to don't seem to see a need. I started out as a kid with soap in the shower, and that dried my skin out too much. Next was hair conditioner... that was a nice feeling, but only in the shower. Once I got to be an older teen, I could actually buy real lube, and I tried a number of things out before finally settling on Astroglide. It's got the right combination of slipperiness, it stays wet for a decent amount of time, and it cleans up easily. Sometimes I wish my Dad had given be a bottle of lube to experiment with when he gave me "the talk" about masturbation... just a thought. I probably do it with lube 75% of the time.

Age: 19         Location: USA         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

It's a really good idea to use lube when masturbating. It all really depends on what you have available to you. Most guys just use lotion, some use hair conditioner. Here's a list of all the things I've used: -Lotion -Conditioner -Olive/Vegetable oil -Barbeque Sauce (don't ask) -Water -Baby Oil -Water based lubricants ("Wet!" is a really good one if you like flavored ones.) -Hair Gel (This one is quite sticky afterwards so beware.)
Age: 19         Location: KS         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Well I can only normally wank in the shower so water is always there for a lube but I love other lubes like lotion moisturizer and other things. But what I really enjoy is a dry wank as I so often have wet ones using my precum and stuff is the best.

Yes, I typically use Petroleum Jelly (Vaseline) because it has no scent what-so-ever. Although it is a bit messy to clean up, but since it is thick, it has the best feeling ever. I just typically use my shower towel every night when I finish. I used to use lotion, but the scent would last on my hands and in my room.

I usually don't use any lube for masturbation, other than my precum. I cum too quickly when I use lube, but when I do use it it's usually something like KY jelly or hand lotion.
Age: 19         Location: MA         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I pretty much never do. My wife does sometimes when she masturbates me but I prefer not to use any. Skin on skin feels so much better to me and it's easier to clean up when there's no lubricant cause I tend to just go into the bathroom to masturbate in front of the mirror regardless of who's at my house so I don't want to spend a lot of time cleaning up.
Age: 32         Location: South Dakota         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut

Vaseline, it feels so good, all natural, doesn't sting, but it's hard to clean up afterwards. If your circumcised you gotta use something or you get chaffed.

Age: 59         Location: Carlsbad, CA         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I never used lubrication at first. Then, a friend in the 10th grade who was also uncircumcised, taught me what he called "bare head" jacking, in which the foreskin was retracted and his hand coated with Vaseline. Later I used Vaseline, baby-oil or KY jelly for rectal insertion of various small, slender objects. When I was in my late-teens, 20s, 30s, etc, I used these lubes with dildoes and vibrators for rear entry, and with toy-vaginas for penile entry. I also used lubes with various partners. But for the most part, I don't use it for regular masturbation.

Yes I do, I usually start lube free for the first couple minutes and then lube up , and the reason is well it feels awesome , and less friction is a good thing as well, and I dont start with lube because I like to start out nice and slow and when I am getting ready to speed things up a bit out comes the lube.

Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         Location: Australia         Age: 56         

No, I hardly ever use any kind of lubricant. I've experimented with hand lotion in the past but didn't like the resulting sensation. It just felt to messy. I've also tried baby powder (a less messy alternative I read about on this site if I remember correctly). Dry works just fine for me. By far though, my favorite lube experience was a warmed banana peel. I know it sounds crazy but try it. You'll love it. Messy but totally worth it. I'd read about it a few times on the web and finally decided to give it a try. Orgasm was so good it was almost painful!
Age: 18         Location: Ohio         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut

No because I never have the right ingredients and my mom always asks me what I want the hand lotion for.
Age: 13         Location: NY         Foreskin:         

I happen to use oil. Oil I usually don't have to re-lubricate. The con is you have to avoid contact with fabric, otherwise it may cause oil stains. I love using scented lavender oil the best. I get it at a bath store. The smell helps me to relax even more after I finish.

I use my own spit. It's free, always there (whenever the urge comes up!) and it glides really well on my penis :D
Age: 20         Location: WI         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

No. The skin on my penis is loose enough that I can slide it up and down although I am circumcised.
Age: 16         Location: Pennsylvania         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

No. I am circumcised, but for some reason it always feels better without lube.
Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         Location: Texas         Age: 13         

I will only use lube sometimes. It is difficult to get ahold of some lube and enough time to use it when you live in a house with two very conservative parents. But when I do get some time, I just use some usual moisturizing lotion. It is nothing fancy, but it's the only thing I can get ahold of without seeming suspicious.
Age: 15         Location: Colorado         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I started to use it later in puberty when going dry started to feel harsh to the skin of my glands and because it made it easier and more pleasurable to masturbate while humping my hand. I've tried differents types, like petroleum-jelly, water-based ones and even saliva. I prefer water-based ones but since they're expensive sometimes I have no other option than going for Vaseline and baby-oil( which work but for mw it seems to decrease sensibility while you masturbate with it). So I'd say that water base lube with a bit of saliva it's the way to go.
Age: 24         Location: Costa Rica         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

No I actually don't. It feels good with or without.
Age: 17         Location: Arizona         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

Normally I don't use lubrication. But when I do my roommate has some "fast absorbing" lotion. Suffice it to say that I squirt of that stuff isn't enough. I use about two for starters then maybe a third when I get closer to the goal. I love using lotion just because I'm usually not rushing and trying to enjoy the moment. It definitely helps me slow down because I hate finishing and having tons of lotion in my hands still.
Age: 21         Location: Indiana         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I use Vaseline as a lubricant most of the time when I masturbate. I almost always use a lube because without it, chaffing occurs and my penis head gets quite sore. It also feels better than not using a lube.
Age: 17         Location: Canada         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

I love it with lube. I even prefer it that way. I'm circumcised, and that may have something to do with it; the uncut guys I've talked to don't seem to see a need. I started out as a kid with soap in the shower, and that dried my skin out too much. Next was hair conditioner... that was a nice feeling, but only in the shower. Once I got to be an older teen, I could actually buy real lube, and I tried a number of things out before finally settling on Astroglide. It's got the right combination of slipperiness, it stays wet for a decent amount of time, and it cleans up easily. Sometimes I wish my Dad had given be a bottle of lube to experiment with when he gave me "the talk" about masturbation... just a thought. I probably do it with lube 75% of the time.
Age: 24         Location: IL         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I sometimes use my spit, but only if I am super horny. I use it to try and lighten the experience. I will use a propper lube when I can buy it.
Age: 14         Location: England         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

I use saliva. It's free. I always have plenty of it. And it makes it feel great!
Age: 18         Location: Illinois         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Never ever
Age: 13         Location: Scotland         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

Yes, another guy's cum
Age: 16         Location: Ireland         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I use saliva, because it is slick, long lasting, free, and its free
Age: 19         Location: California         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I start out with lotion, but through the use of edging and backing off, eventually I develop enough pre-cum to use as lubricant.
Age: 24         Location: U.S.         Foreskin:         

I like using lube when I'm home alone or am really into it. I prefer market lube but afraid to go buy it on my own so sometimes I just use Vaseline.
Age: 16         Location: CA         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

No, I don't really use lube for masturbation. I am uncut so it really isn't necessary. It is nice though for a change of pace to use it although I usually only use spit. Getting my hands on actual lube is rare because I wouldn't use it enough so I don't buy it. I guess I would use it more if it was bought for me or if I was cut.
Age: 18         Location: Missouri         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

It all depends on what's available. If I'm away from home, I usually use saliva, but this can get a little risky when I jack off while secretly near people. Saliva can be pretty noisy. My favorite is this very wet sort of hand lotion. It feels so good and gets the job done in no time.
Age: 17         Location: America         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I do use lubrication for masturbation. I use lotion, baby oil, pre-cum, and sometimes vaseline because they all feel really smooth and slippery when I use it. Good Stuff
Age: 15         Location: Ohio         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Most of the time I just jack it dry with out lubricant, but tell the truth it feels good either way.
Foreskin: Unsure         Location: NY         Age: 18         

If I do use a lube while jackin off, I use aloe vera gel. I've never used the stuff with lidocaine. I've only use the plain old aloe, either green or clear stuff. If I don't use a lube then I am most likely jacking off in bed. If in bed then I just use my bed sheet to jack off and shoot into something else so it doesn't get on the sheet.
Age: 15         Location: Fort Wayne, IN         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Yes, if I have a lot of time until my parents get home. I get a bottle of aloe vera a towel and a DVD. It makes it feel much better!
Age: 14         Location: Spain         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

I like to use baby oil, feels really great
Age: 13         Location: Texas         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

No... as a matter of fact, I lose an erection if it is applied
Age: 45         Location: USA         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Yeah, sometimes spit if I've run out of real lube. My parents usually buy me some KY every month. I don't need, but it feels a lot better with lube.
Age: 14         Location: South Africa         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

It depends on what I plan the end result to be. Many times I like to eat my own semen and so I won't use any lube then. When I do use lube it's when I have plenty of time and usally before I shower. I have found common household vegable oil to work very well, it will last for a long time and washes off easly in the shower.
Age: 35         Location: Ohio         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I use Astroglide because it is water based and long lasting. The texture is smooth and silky. Other brands tend to get sticky after awhile and I have to use saliva to moisten it back. I use Astroglide with my fleshlight and it definitely making my fleshlight feels like a natural moist vagina.
Age: 40         Location: San Francisco         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I usually just use my pre-cum. I start slow and then it just kinda escalates and a whole bunch comes out. It feels so good, almost like a little orgasm.
Age: 24         Location: New York         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

i have used lube before but it seems to work just as good without, and there is less cleanup
Age: 18         Location: NE         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

no
Age: 38         Location: illinois         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I only use lube sometimes but when I do I have some ky touch massage and it warms up to for extra warmth.
Location: Minnesota         Age: 15         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Nope, I don't use any lubricant to masturbate with.
Age: 14         Location: Indiana         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

It depends if I plan on pulling an all nighter I use spit or since I'm strokin it I start to precum so I use that as lube. On those nights I blow atleast half a cup(I've measured) if I don't use lube I have about 5-7 good squrts I'm a really messy jerker. On nights my girl and me masturbate together (so she can have multiples and I have huge great explosive orgasms) I will use her juices as lube for a good session.
Age: 21         Location: reno         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

no I do not
Age: 16         Location: Va.         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I tried several times using everything available (except soap and anything I'd have to buy particularly for lubricant), and I eventually just gave up. It's way too much work actually using the lube (and cleaning up later), and it just doesn't really provide the results that make the annoyance worth it. Special occasions are exceptions.
Age: 17         Location: Canada         Foreskin:         

I use saliva because it's always handy
Age: 16         Location: U.S.A         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

No
Age: 43         Location: UK         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

When I want to have some extra fun or feel a different sensation, I use lube. I either use Stroke 29, which is awesome, or Wet Platinum, which is also awesome. I use them 'cause my buddy recommended I try them out for jerking off. Since then, it has never been the same.
Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         Location: Wisconsin         Age: 21         

Sometimes, with KY Gel.
Age: 13         Location: Brazil         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

I'm circumsised but I rarely ever use lube. Sometimes I'll use moisteriser but usually I use the quilt on my bed or the kleenex condom.
Age: 14         Location: New South Wales, Australia         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I do not use lube it's too big of a mess and I also don't like the feel quite as much. Theres just something about skin on skin that I really like so I keep it dry.
Age: 15         Location: phoenix         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Yes hair conditioner, it works great and doesn't sting at all like shampoo would
Age: 17         Location: california         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Ya I usually do use a lubricant. Normally I use hand moisturizer but you can't use too much or it won't feel as great.
Age: 16         Location: New Hampshire         Foreskin:         

no
Location: mia         Age: 17         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I do, yes. Normally hand lotion for longer sessions and saliva if I'm just looking for a quickie. As for the why, it just feels better. I have enough foreskin left that I can masturbate dry without abrasion if I want to, but to me the sensation of using lube is just all around more satisfying.
Age: 28         Location: AZ         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I always always always use some form of lubricant. When I first learned how to jack off, my cousin just told me about the basic hand movement. I finally tried it, and after about ten seconds of trying to jerk my dry, circumcised penis, the thought occurred to me to put some lotion on my hand to make it easier. I knew at that moment, I was in love. It was the most wonderfull feeling I had ever experienced. I used all kinds of different lotions untill I discovered the most perfect sunstance on earth: vaselene. Vaselene is my favorite lube by far. I think it has the best feel, and it lasts the longest. When nothing else is easily in reach, I've discovered the joys of saliva. I use my own spit more than any other lube, mostly because it is so easy to get to. I have only masturbated dry one times because I was determined to do so at least once. The whole ordeal was terrible, and it took about an hour to orgasm. So I would definitley say that some form of lube in a necessity.
Age: 15         Location: Tennessee         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Yes, I usually do use either baby oil or astroglide because they are really smooth. If I am in a hurry I will just use spit, because it works pretty good.
Age: 19         Location: USA         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

This ultra moisturizing clear vaseline coconut gel. It is the best thing that has happened to my penis. The stuff is smooth, and feels like cum.
Age: 15         Location: Wisconsin         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

i usually use regular hand lotion, there's nothing better than the classics
Age: 14         Location: usa         Foreskin:

Age: 17         Location: mia         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Yes. I use Astroglide or stroke 29 because it enhances the pleasure for me
Age: 19         Location: US         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

No, for some reason my erections never stay hard enough to stroke up and down with lube, so I use the skin on the shaft to masturbate smoothly, unconventional but I still get orgasms
Age: 14         Location: boston         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I usually do not use lube, it is more of a mess than it is worth.
Age: 16         Location: Georgia, USA         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

It's not needed. I would like some real lube. I am to shy to buy some in the store. I have tried butter, hand cream, and cooking oil. Cooking oil is the best so far.
Age: 10         Location: Murray, KY         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

The only time I use lube is when I'm in the shower, and then I use conditioner

I usally don't because of the mess, but sometimes I do and it feels really good.
Age: 45         Location: Montana         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

yea sometimes, I use hair conditioner because I mostly wank in the shower.
Age: 18         Location: Australia         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

I never use lube. It doesn't matter if I use soap, spit, or commercial lube, it tends to irritate my urethra afterward. I just got at it dry and have had no problems.
Age: 29         Location: TN         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

i only use lube when taking a shower because I'm circumcised so I can't do it with just my hand. if I'm not in the shower then ill put my shirt over my penis grab it through the shirt and masturbate that way I usually use spit vaseline and shampoo
Age: 13         Location: New Jeresy         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

yes, and no. I have ky warming gel that I use sometimes if I really have time to get into it, but other times I might use lotion, or I may just use my spit and pre-cum. while other times I don't use anything. I don't really know why or why not its really just my mood and what I want to use at the specific time with myself.
Age: 16         Location: Syracuse, NY         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut

Typically, the only lube I use is my own "pre-cum", or sometimes water if I'm doing it in the shower. I've experimented with a few different things, but I enjoy dry the most - though those first few drops of clear fluid have a way of reinvigorating the session.
Age: 23         Location: Texas         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut

Age: 18         Location: tennessee         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

nope. Just on rare occasions.
Location: USA         Age: 35         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

It depends because I have a small penis(i wish it were a tad bigger,its only 2.5 inches erect).When I masturbate I just rub up and down with no lube for bout half an hour then I only get pre cum and lots of it.If I use lube I like to fast but its not as pleasuring because I have to use jergens hand lotion.One time I found my fathers lube and used that,it was amazing but now I can't find it but I would prefer lube because you can go fast and slow and it feels smooth on my penis.
Age: 14         Location: new york         Foreskin: Unsure         

usually not. I have a good amount of foreskin so I can do it without using lube

no
Age: 16         Location: USA         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Cornhuskers Lotion is great, better than typical skin lotion. Its available in most grocery and drug stores. A good choice for teenagers who might be embarrassed to buy KY Jelly.
Age: 35         Location: Colorado         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I use my own spit. It sounds gross but it really works, is free and you have an endless supply. Using spit with the Rosy Palm technique feels great too.
Age: 14         Location: Scotland         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

It depends, if its just a quick jill then no. But if I am realllly horny and I want the best orgasm I can give myself I use a menthalated clit creme that gives me the same exact lubrication as I make myself when I get my own self rowled up.
Age: 21         Location: NC         Foreskin:         

When I learned to masturbate, I learned with no lubrication. Ever since, I have used no lubrication. I am circumsized, but I still have enough loose skin (which has probably been loosened more from use) that I get more pleasure from dry masturbating than I do with lube. I tend to draw my masturbation sessions out to about 15 minutes dry, but the few times I've used lube they can be as long as 2 hours.
Location: Vermont, US         Age: 17         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Yes, but because I was loosely circumcised, I can also masturbate without lube, simply moving the skin up and down on my erect shaft, but I would get sore if I did it that way every day. I almost always use KY Liquid, and in a pinch my own saliva does nicely as well. Lube is a very important and wonderful part of the whole process.
Age: 23         Location: Illinois         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Of course. Typically I will use hand lotion or Vaseline that is in the bathroom. Occasionally I will shampoo if I am in the shower. Using a lubricant just makes the feeling so much better.
Age: 16         Location: NJ         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I usually "go dry" since I'd rather not have to bother with the cleanup that lubes require afterward. But when I do use a lube, it's Albolene. Easy to get at the local Walmart, only needs to be applied once and continues working for as long as I need it, and in fact is just about identical to "Men's Cream" which I used to use -- only much cheaper!
Age: 48         Location: AZ         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

slide more I like it
Age: 25         Location: phi         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Usually none...sometimes spit but that requires too much reapplication. I used to frequently use lotion and especially clear aloe vera gel is awesome (unless cold). Really just like to touch my man meat with my plain old hand. Lube makes it ejaculate faster than it already does.
Age: 31         Location: PA         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

No I don't
Age: 18         Location: USA         Foreskin:         

I usually start with techniques that don't require lube. Then when I'm thouroghly aroused I switch to techniques that need lube. I use either Vaseline Intensive Care or Walgreen's Advanced Care. I get the large (24.5 Oz.) bottle with the pump dispenser on top. When the lube starts to dry out, I add a little saliva. During an extended session I can run out of saliva so I may get a cup full of water.
Age: 36         Location: New Mexico USA         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

For the most of the time I do not use a lubricant because I am uncut and I can use my foreskin. Sometimes when I have more time for wanking, I use spit when I play with the head of my penis.
Age: 28         Location: The Neherlands         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

I use coconut oil. It's very smooth and you can edge and not need to relube as much. It's as close to pre-ejaculate for smoothness I have found. It's also inexpensive, look in the cooking oil section in your food store. It will be white when solid and cool but turns clear when you rub it on your hands and warm penis.
Age: 55         Location: Asheville NC         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Most of the time I don't use lubricant cause I am uncut, but when I do use it I use spit and lotion.
Age: 19         Location: texas         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

I use a water based lube, the cum is explosive and then if you can masturbate again straight after you can use your warm cum as lube! its fantastic.

Age: 28         Location: Little Rock, AR         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I do use lotion for a lubricant. I think that I use lubrication because if I don't, my penis gets irritated and I can't stroke fast or hard. the reson I use lotion is because it isn't strange to use lotion on skin.
Age: 13         Location: nashville, TN         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I normally do not use lubricant as I am uncircumcised. However, if I do, it is usually either hair conditioner or hand lotion.

I do. I use saliva for the simple reasons that it's always available. It may dry quickly, but that isn't a problem for me.
Age: 21         Location: NC         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I do use lube when I masturbate sometime. It all depends on how much time you have and where you are. The more time I have, then I am more likely to use lube.
Age: 18         Location: Maryland         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Astro Glide feels GREAT!!!
Age: 35         Location: NE         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I use lube almost all of the time, although on occasion it is interesting to do it dry and watch the precum ooze. (That takes longer and chafes.) Have been using olive oil for years; I like the smell and can avoid the embarrassment of buying lube in a tube.
Age: 52         Location: Seattle         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut

Age: 18         Location: US         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

sometimes I use vaseline or KY Jelly or just plain hand lotion. Other times, I won't use anything, but the action is different, more of a vibration type of action versus a stroking.
Age: 50         Location: NY         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut

no
Age: 19         Location: massachusetts         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Sometimes I use lube, it depends on the mood I'm in. If I just want a quickie then no I'll just go at it. But if I want to make it a good one and take my time then yeah I'll use lube as it tends to increase the time taken and improve my orgasm. As to what I use Boots own brand chill lube, because it was cheap and I like something more exicting than just plain lube. Next up I think I'll try the warming one.
Age: 19         Location: England         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

I Just started using vegetable oil and I am now finding myself masturbating more frequently. I was told from a friend to use some sort or lubricant because he looked at my penis and told me I needed to be safer.
Age: 18         Location: Kansas         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I have in the past & I find that it does add a better feeling. Then there is the clean up unless I do it before showering.
Age: 17         Location: New York         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I use lube for my fleshlight and my butt plug, but almost never for regular stroking. I have enough foreskin for that. I just buy the generic KY-style stuff at the grocery store -- self check-out is a great thing!
Location: USA         Age: 46         Foreskin:         

I use vaseline. It is a great lubricant. You don't have to keep adding more. It usually lasts for a whole masturbation session. Clean up isn't that difficult either because it just absorbs into the skin.
Age: 16         Location: Toronto, Ontario, Canada         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I use Vaseline, but not very often because of the mess it produces. Aside from that, I just wank with no lube and it's OK with me.
Location: Carcer City         Age: 13         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

I'm circumcised, so I have to use lube every time I jerk off. Since I like to spend a good amount of time when I masturbate and usually cum on my chest, I really don't mind the added mess of using lube; I just take a shower after. I've tried various things as a lube over the years, like baby oil and olive oil, especially when I was younger and too embarrassed to buy real lubricant at a store. However, after I realised that masturbation is perfectly normal and healthy, I started buying water-based lubes. I love the slipperiness of masturbating with lube, and prefer one that is not too runny so that I don't have to reapply too often. The water-based lubes also wash off much easier than oils. My favourite lubes now are Astroglide, ID Glide, and Wet brand. I often masturbate with a Fleshlight, which requires water-based lubes, and the feeling of the warmth, slipperiness, and tightness lead to some mind-blowing orgasms. I also like to add extra lube to the head of my penis when I start to feel an orgasm coming on and then rub the underside of the head and do a sort of unscrewing motion while I ejaculate. It's a fantastic feeling, so I would definitely recommend using lube.
Age: 29         Location: Canada         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Yes, I use AstroGlide each and every time I masturbate. I find that AstroGlide is extremely smooth and I enjoy the "wet" feeling. I believe it feels more like actual intercourse. Now that I'm in the habit of using AstroGlide, I find masturbation without it feels too rough. I keep a bottle full of it by my bed.
Age: 24         Location: China         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut

Location: Brazil         Age: 16         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

As a kid I tried everything I could, some unwisely. Slick sensations were fun but too much. I rarely came unless I removed the lube. Stroking dry I could build the feeling as opposed to it overpowering me when using lube, which I oozed generously. These days I use lube. It helps.

No, I don't use it, at least not most of the time. I sometimes use saliva, but that's it.
Age: 16         Location: Europe         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

I like to use vasaline.

Sometimes: I find lubed stimulation incredibly intense and it tends to wear me out, so I lube up as an extra when I'm extremely horny and want to spice things up. My lube of choice is saliva, mostly because I'd feel kind of embarassed asking for lube in a store, plus I don't have a personal room (sigh) and I live with my parents so I couldn't hide the bottle anywhere. Unfortunately saliva dries very quickly, but I'm kinda lucky because I tend to salivate a lot so I can "refill" easily; I have never tried do-it-yourself lubes because I'd rather use one that is specifically designed to be applied on genitals, and I wanna try one of them someday. Lubed masturbation is my favourite technique, the stimulation you can get is amazing! Most of times I even shed tears from the incredible pleasure I get and lay down with my mouth open in lust, as my mind and the world around me fade. The orgasm is explosive and way more intense than usual, and the afterglow usually lasts longer too; but what I like the most is the "wet" sensation around my lubed penis. I love to feel my slippery shaft under my gliding hands, both from saliva and pre-ejaculatory fluid (which oozes profusely in these circumstances), and the sound of sticky hands really turns me on. I highly recommend it!

No I don't. Ive never needed to use lubricants as I can achieve my goal whilst masturbating without them. My pre ejaculate - natural secretion - would prove to be adequate to achieve all the lubricant required. I can never remember getting sore or being too dry to achieve orgasm. Is this because I am uncut?

No.

Sometimes I do. When I do I usually grab my bottle of Astroglide
Age: 31         Location: KY         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

sometimes but not usually because it take so much longer for me to get to a orgasm and my orgasm fill better if I dont use lub
Age: 15         Location: utah         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I use lube almost all of the time, although on occasion it is interesting to do it dry and watch the precum ooze. (That takes longer and chafes.) Have been using olive oil for years; I like the smell and can avoid the embarrassment of buying lube in a tube.
Age: 52         Location: Seattle         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

i was lotion and baby oil because it feels good.
Age: 16         Location: Middletown         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I don't need to since I am uncut but sometimes for a change I use some astroglide
Age: 47         Location: usa         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

I use hand lotion due to it's good mixture of smoothness and traction.

Never. Don't need to, am uncut and always seem to manage without lube.
Age: 46         Location: Melbourne         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

It depends, I enjoy lube for those long jerks. There is nothing better than lubing up and rubbing a hot one out. At the same time I also enjoy a quickie and for that I do it dry and fast...

Age: 15         Location: alabama         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

When a few of my friends come over, they want to use lube when we jerk off. One time, I decided to try it and it didn't do much for me. Only one of the other guys is uncircumcized (he's half-mexican) and he usually doesn't need lube either. I guess it's a circumcized thing to need lube. Jerking off dry works just fine for me...my head is nice and slick and I have my long elephant's trunk foreskin that massages the head, so lube is like overkill.
Age: 12         Location: Iowa         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

i love using lubricant slippery stuff especially if I have some of those latex rubber pants I squirt some in the front get it all smeared around then kneel by the bed and gently rock my hips till I blow my load
Age: 55         Location: washington         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

i alternate between dry and lubed masturbation. for me it really increases the intensity of my orgasm. most of the time I use just regular lotion however I might also use vaseline.
Age: 16         Location: miami, fl         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Not usually, but I do occasionally, such as when I go up the ass with my friend.
Age: 13         Location: West Virginia         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Typically no, but during times when I do use a sleeve like a fleshlight, it is absolutely necessary. I would use a water based lubricant and it also helps to warm it in a cup of hot water.
Age: 26         Location: San Francisco, CA         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I only use water as a lube when it is my third or fourth time jacking off that day. I normally just wank in the shower so I don,t need any lube.
Location: MA         Age: 13         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

If I use lubricant, which rarely happens, I use lotion. It's easy to obtain without raising much question. The only time I use lubricant; though, is when I am with my friends. One of us grabs the lotion, someone grabs the computer, someone grabs the toilet paper, and we get to work. I masturbate in the shower frequently, but I don't think body wash counts as lube.

Age: 13         Location: MA         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Lots of times I just like to use pre-cum as a lube. Using spit is great but it tends to dry out. For a real long jackoff workout I like to use vegetable oil.

When I started masturbating, I never really thought about lube, I just went skin-on-skin. As I got older, if I was masturbating with my girlfriend I'd like to use her juices. Sometimes we would have all-out-sex but if I didn't want to come in her I'd finish myself off and I'd notice how wonderful my penis felt at those times, covered in her. The only time I would use lube was when I was in the shower, because the water made my stroking feel too rough. I learned the hard way that shampoo was a terrible idea for a lube. It would feel good at the time but then would really dry out my penis skin. Also one time shampoo went into my penis and I had to go to the doctor. Conditioner worked much better in the shower. Now that I have 35 years or so of masturbating, my penis skin is getting a little worn out. Masturbating with no lube was causing sore spots on my penis, which hurt -- a lot. I have starting using baby oil, which has the right amount of slippery in it. In some ways it is better -- I can go faster and squeeze harder, and I think I produce more semen with the lube. Also my testicles don't hurt after very intense sessions, like they could without the lube. However, I miss some of the rougher sensations from my no-lube days, so occassionally if my penis is feeling good I will skip the lube. I also wish the baby oil didn't smell so much. But in general I am a happy baby oil customer, and have gotten over my embarrasment of buying it. I usually buy it in a grocery store and stand in the line with the most attractive check-out girl in order to practice my "I'm not doing anything wrong" attitude.
Age: 47         Location: Florida         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

Not usually. I'm circumcised but the skin on my shaft is still loose enough to get a grip on and stroke. For some reason lube doesn't really give me pleasure. It just feels strange and most lotions rub in pretty quickly.
Age: 14         Location: California         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I don't always but most of the time I use KY warming gel. And now and then just various lotions around the house. The warming effect of the KY feels really nice and the enhanced sound of my strokes really gets me off even better.
Age: 21         Location: Detroit, MI         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I tend not to use lubrication when masturbating due to being uncircumcised. When I use lubricants, however, I tend to go with either hand lotion, oil, or saliva--my third orgasm ever was achieved with the aid of lubrication (and the helping hand of a friend) so I have very strong memories attached to Neutrogena hand creams. I first used oil when teaching a friend how to masturbate (he was circumcised), and I've used saliva with my brothers and girlfriend (not at the same time or anything like that) due to its ready availability.
Age: 24         Location: Indiana         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

Yes I use lube when I masturbate and have sex with my fiance. I use the various JO H2O lubes mostly but we have a few others in the house. When my fiance isn't around I use the fleshlight not flashlight (google it if you don't know what it is) so I need to us lube.
Age: 24         Location: Vancouver, Canada         Foreskin: Intact / Uncut         

Well, when I first started masturbate when I was 13 it made the skin on my penis a little raw at first, so I tried using spit as lubrication. But after I got used to the feeling (after having done it so much) I stopped. I would ocaisionaly use soap but I never really seemed to work to a great effect. Then one day I found KY in my dad's dresser and tried using it, it was much better than soap, I tried to use it whenever I could but he only had one bottle so I could not overuse it without him noticing. Now I mostly masturbate dry with my hand.
Age: 15         Location: Texas         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I jack off different ways. Sometimes using just my hand and lightly friction rubbing my penis is incredible pleasure. After doing this for maybe ten minutes, I use a lube like a hand lotion and then massage my lubed penis to orgasm. After the friction teasing, the lube provides a powerful end and I shoot all over the place. Sometimes I do this with my boyfriend and he even asks me to friction rub his penis and then lubricate him and jack him to orgasm because he ejaculates so hard he hoses himself down (and he has hosed me down more than once!) and there have been times when he actually screams right out when he cums. It is so much fun to make him cum like that because he squirms and whimpers and then POW!!

I used to not use anything, but one time about a year or so ago I tried Vaseline and have been using it ever since. Rarely do I not use it. As for why, I think it's because it's not as liquidy as baby oil or something, but still gives you great rubbing pleasure!
Age: 28         Location: NC         Foreskin: Circumcised / Cut         

I have three good buddies in my dorm and sometimes we have mutual masturabaion sessions and usually use vaseline but one of them said he heard Crisco was good, well, we tried it and now we all use it alone and with our fun get-together's. If you have not tried it, it's great.

Age: 17         Location: CA San Marcos         Foreskin:         

Yeah I do sometimes. I use KY jelly but I've been using the Durex Tingle one for a while for a change. It allows me to rub my penis with the foreskin back and it makes the orgasm so much more intense!
