    For guys, what would you recommend for lubricant? Not using lubricant seems to cause aesthetic damage (please don't turn this into a discussion about why I shouldn't care...) and is less pleasurable, and while I don't masturbate often (low libido & a better experience if I reduce frequency), it probably doesn't help that I do it for a longer period of time than most.

    Now, I tried using Astroglide , and while it's certainly better than using nothing, it leaves my skin terribly dry for the subsequent few days afterwards. I even tried to follow up with moisturizer, but it still remained unhealthily dry.

    So what would you guys recommend?

    If you're just lubing up to jack off with your hands, you have way more options than if you're using sex toys made of materials that will break down if you don't use a water-based lube. You can try different lotions/moisturizers, massage oils, or Vaseline that could cause issues with a toy or inside a woman's vagina.

    Most of the water-based lubes I've tried are more or less like Astroglide, but Liquid Silk was different and kind of creamy and definitely my favorite water-based lube.

    My recommendation: My dick seems to love the thick resistance of Vaseline best of all lubes and you shouldn't have any more dry skin issues.

    But if you must use lube for god sakes never ever store it next to the super glue.

    No. Not at all. There's a reason that circumcision became a big thing among crazed anti-masturbation parents, and stuck, in crazed anti-masturbation america. Seriously, the guy who popularized it prescribed it as the male version of using carbolic acid to destroy the clitoris. And these treatments where to be used in conjunction with electro-shock therapy, on small children, and the circumcision/acid dabbing itself was to be as connected as possible with the act of touching one's self, as a response when it was observed. To really fuck them up.

    And that is why, combined with the fact that there is NO medical reason to get circumcized, it's pretty hard to take anyone who is pro-circumcision seriously about circumcision, or anything else. Especially if they're female, and especially if their reason is "because" (possibly followed by some shit about looks, or society, or just because, or whatever).

    The coefficient of friction doesn't really matter if the degree of sliding as adjusted appropriately. There's considerably more sensation and pleasure with no lube, than with lube. But without a foreskin, it all breaks.

    If you care to look him up, the man in question is john harvey kellog, founder of kellog's. Wikipedia has a pretty good page on him.

    He invented corn flakes when some of the corn mush he was feeding his health spa patrons went mouldy, and his answer was to bake it, and feed it to them anyways. But that's just a fun fact.

    Big, pulsating, glistening, vein-covered wood?

    early circumcisions may well have been severe enough to prevent masturbation, but modern circumcision leaves plenty of skin so that there is lots of room for movement and it is quite easy to dry masturbate a circumcised penis. i'm not arguing in favor of circumcision; it's really not an issue that concerns me enough to argue one way or another. all i'm saying is that nobody really needs lube to masturbate; the point is to simulate vaginal sex, which is (generally) lubricated no matter what the state of the foreskin is.

    is there any other kind?

    Please don't talk like that, you're reminding me of individual.

    I suggest you take a vagina, your hand, and a staple gun, and in that order, (order is actually pretty important here, if you want accurate results. At least, with regards to the last one) apply them to your penis.

    I've known individuals with botched circumcisions, or perhaps malicious ones, where the skin is too tight. If you poke around the internet, there's a lot of men who have problems, especially with ageing.

    And it seems tight enough that OP is asking. I've never heard of an uncircumcised guy actually wanting lube. Every now and then I feel like a change of pace, and usually regret it and don't finish so easily.

    And in that case, why do it? There are certainly downsides, like inflicting that much pain, and in that region, on a newborn, who's brain is just getting wired, the possibility of accidental amputation (which happens every so often -- I think I read something like every 10k snips), and all that sort of fun stuff.

    The upsides are: bad parenting may be less harmful in some select physical ways.

    Also: women who talk about cleanliness as a reason for circumcision make my blood boil. Do you have ANY FUCKING IDEA what is between your own legs? Yeah, that's right.... and with that in mind, it sounds more like vindictively urging the infliction of extreme pain upon innocent infants simply because of their gender. Or, alternately, urging female circumcision should be MUCH higher on the list of priorities -- but instead, it's a crime.

    As far as wood goes, well yes, but all the other kinds are colours other than black....

    like i said before, i'm not trying to argue one way or the other about circumcision.

    i'm sure there have been botched ones, and that would probably be pretty awful for the recipient. mine, as far as i know, is average, and it's the only penis type i know, so that's what i have to go off of.

    for me, personally, i masturbated dry for years. i had heard of using lube, but i just never saw the benefit of it. then i finally had sex, and it occurred to me that vaginas are wet and slippery. so i started sometimes using lube to create a more realistic sex simulation. i do prefer the realism of using it, although i can still rub one out faster without lube than with it if i'm in need of a speed wank.

    With common sense.

    It obviously largely depends on what we've been discussing, the tightness of the cut/amount of skin removed. Because what we're talking about is surface area of nerve endings... you know, the things that make you feel pleasure or pain....

    Stimulation of these nerves increases with increased friction, but with lots of movement and high friction will come tissue damage and pain, as the OP is talking about.

    So, the uncircumsized penis provides the answer: high friction with very little movement. More movement and less friction tends to be de-sensitizing and unless very carefully controlled, generally not as nice.

    Again, the fact that circumcision was introduced to modern western society as a method of controlling children's masturbatory habits is pretty telling about it's nature. It may have become less barbaric, but then, if it's simply not as damaging, why do it at all? It obviously doesn't do much to curtail sexual activity (in fact, it's pretty fuckin' hard to curtail sexual activity), but that's where it gets it's start. And even if curtailing sexual activity was NOT a barbaric reason for cutting up your kids junk, it simply doesn't work.

    I'm not attacking anyone or anyone's parents who has made a choice with the information given to them. But I'm attacking those who know better and continue to make or support or argue for, that choice.
