According to Nicole Prause, scientist at the sexual biotechnology company Liberos, the anus does produce a lubricative film along the anal wall in order to move feces through the rectum.
The collective eye roll from those of us with dry assholes may not be entirely warranted. If I finger my ass (with no lube at all, not even spit-raw finger) it lubes itself and then I can shove anything in there. “Recently I noticed that I don’t need to add lube. What the fuck is wrong with my ass?” one Reddit user writes. “I’m a 19-year-old guy and whenever I get aroused my ass gets really wet. Many online sources like Reddit, Go Ask Alice, Data Lounge, and Girls Ask Guys all contain genuine queries from men and women saying that they or their partners’ can anally self-lubricate. So I looked into it.Ī quick Google search reveals this is something of an unconfirmed phenomena. But I started hearing it so frequently from friends and my online communities that I wondered if I was making a biological assumption. Of course, my first impression is to brush these human dispensers off as braggy bottoms with something to prove. And yet, so many report the ability to do so. Since coming out, I’ve explored all aspects of my sexuality and never once has my asshole been able to self-lubricate.
