If you douche in the shower, as many guys do, you will need to use a silicone or oil-based lube that will not wash off with water (or a good, unscented hair conditioner made of natural oils).įor sex, gay men have an unlimited buffet of lubes to choose from, all with different features, benefits, and uses.
