Perspectives are funny things. I had a friend in college become furious at me (and give me the silent treatment for a week) because I cracked a joke about using her ky jelly to stop her dorm room bed from squeaking. This was in front of her boyfriend and his friends. Apparently, according to her, I had totally embarrassed her boyfriend that I should suggest they need to use lube in their sex life. Uh huh. She made me apologize to him, and when I did he was all like, “What? Uh, ok. No problem.” Seems the issue was hers.
Fast forward to my life in the sex positive community, and people there use lube liberally, freely and openly. Lube is a staple of hot sex. Lube makes lovin’ better. lol Even when you want to lubricate sometimes you can’t or you can’t do it enough, no shame there. God, I’m glad I know people who are comfortable with their sexuality to not get in a tizzy over lube being mentioned! I love lube!
I’ll bet your college room-mate was worried because she was having anal sex and she was embarassed. Too bad the amount of time we spend worrying about hang-ups when we could be having fun!
