I see someone's already started with the fake questions. Haven't they?

I don't know, it could be real but why would anyone try it more than once if it made your pecker burn for a half hour?

That just seems stupid to me.

Burn me once, shame on you, burn me twice, shame on me.

That's what I wanted to say, fenriq! It's making your genitals burn- you have to ASK whether maybe you should stop using it?

Oh, the lengths we go for an orgasm.

Really! Try another lube! Jesus!

Or just don't get it *inside*. Which, as a guy, is pretty easy to avoid.

Ah, the joys of foreskin.

I'm seriously thinking about using Astroglide to grease the old-skool shutters of my new apartment. the fancy stuff they sold me at the hardware store just doesn't work

metal? cuz then you could just use wd40.

posted by puke & cry 14 June | 16:59

hhhmmm... it's metal/wood sliding on a metal track, it's pretty complicated. the shutters have been restored but it's 150-year-old stuff. I'm not surprised thast the design was abandoned in the early 20th century -- very pretty but very difficult to use

Astroglide is waterbased and will evaporate and become sticky. Err, I don't know anything about that.

Rub the sticky spots with a candle. Ok, that just sounds wrong.

But it'll work. It also works for squeaky door jambs, stuck windows and all kinds of stuff like that.

Also, WD-40 isn't a lubricant. It also evaporates and *removes* oils, leaving moving parts unprotected. Never use it on bike chains, bearings, moving parts, etc. It's "Water Displacement Formula 40". It's not meant to be used as a machine lubricant, it's meant to clean parts and unstick bolts and stuff. Use 3-n-1 oil or something.

Was ceiling cat watching? Did god kill a kitten?

Beeswax will also work nicely for those windows, matteo.

you could try vaseline. Petroleum based.

The best thing for those windows would be a silicone spray lubricant. Who knows, it may also work for the anonymous AskMe idiot as well.

I live for the day when mathowie flames out and posts a list of who posted which anonymous AskMe question.

Yeah, that silicone spray lub is a good suggestion.

My friends dad once tried to jerk off with mentholatum rub. Only tried that once.

Learning that there is a lube called Elbow Grease totally justifies the question. I love the internets.

thanks for all the shutter suggestions. I'll try them all and report back.

Another fakey-sounding question.

posted by JanetLand 15 June | 09:36

Damnit (Janet)! I just came here to post that.

posted by Capn 15 June | 09:39

Parafin (candle wax) also works well as lube.

For windows, that is.
