A reader emailed me with the below question, but it's one I get often from friends, followers, and fans:

Can you be specific what kinda lube you recommend to use for a first timer, to open the butthole easily? -C

The best kind of lube to use as a butt sex beginner depends on several things: whether you're going to be using toys or condoms, whether you'll be playing in water, and of course your own body and preferences.
