A reader asks whether it’s safe to use lotion instead of lubricant during sex.
Dear TGUK,
Can I have sex with lotion as lube?

Dear J
There are many liquids you can use as lube, but lubes designed for sex are the best lubes to use.
While lotion might feel good your penis, it might actually have chemicals in it that will irritate the inside of your arse – which will lead to painful sex or even a burning sensation.
Also, a word of warning, particularly if you’re using condoms during anal sex, you should really only use water-based or silicone-based lotions. Lotions and lubes that are oil-based could actually destroy a condom, leaving you unprotected from sexually transmitted infections.
Do yourself a favour and buy a lube which is longlasting and feels good for your ass and dick!
