What is up with using spit for lube?

I enjoy porn and it seems that spitting has become the new lube.  I have seen it done to every part of the body and they make a big show of it.  Personally it was done one time to me during oral.  Such a turn off.  

Is it being done for lubrication purposes?  Or did someone decide it is the new sexy?

If I am not wet it means I am NOT aroused just yet, and lube is not going to do much good because that is your body's way of telling you things are not ready. So many women just reach for the lube vs. actually getting aroused, and I don't play that shit. I don't like a guy spitting a damn loogie on me, but he can certainly use his tongue.

But this was during oral... and I was wet.  At least right up to the point that he spit on me.  Weirdest thing.

And then it starts showing up in every porn.  Please be a passing phase...

So the spit does actually work to rehydrate in porn situations. Most people recommend water based lubes as opposed to silicone... And I don't know anyone that would ever recommended oil based.

It is not uncommon in those porn shoots for the guy to outlast the lube during anal. As well as sometimes the scene does not allow for stop to lube up and then restart. So there left with spit 2 basically re activate the lube as the water evaporates.

But I understand how you find that weird, I know I personally just couldn't bring myself to spit on someone.

i know its a turn on for some guys, but it is an immediate turn on for me.  having never sucked a cock, i dont really understand why you need to, it seems to me that your mouth is wet and that should suffice.  i once had a provider comment that she needed some lube to suck me, and got up and was walking over to her bag to get some lube.  i told her i would prefer no lube.  when she told me she needed something, i asked her if she liked the taste of her own pussy.  she said, i can handle that, and then dipped the tip of my cock in her snatch, just enough to get it wetter, and then went on with her bj.  far from a turn off, i found it VERY erotic.

And as far as I am concerned in and out of this life, spitting is not the new sexy for me. I have it down to a fine art and there is no need to "bust out the lube" and make it very obvious that I am unable to respond naturally.

As a performer I can tell you that it's "the new big thing" in Porn Valley, where everything must be "extreme"...or at least, that's what they (the producers) believe, anyway. It's not unlike condom-dumoing in the late 90's. Anyone remember THAT? It was literally everywhere in porn back then yet who does it today?

Yes, saliva makes great lube. I use it all the time. But there's a huge difference between discretely using spit as lube and deliberately making a big show of hocking up a was of spit on a guy's cock. One is practical and real; the other, pure pointless spectacle.

I hate it and refuse to do it in my scenes. There's nothing feminine about it. But of course, that's just me; each to his or her own. Just don't expect it to be around in 10 years is all I'm saying. It will fade like condom-dumping did.

Thanks for giving the professional opinion on this one.  Please tell the producers to stop!!!!!  There has been a big uptick in this in the last few weeks.  And it's not discreet, but making a BIG show of spitting a large amount of saliva and having a string of it from the mouth to the body part.

If they are out of ideas - tell the writers/producers I will give them some new ones!  The multiple partner market could use some help. : )

If you like the whole porn vibe, then you'll probably like spit.  If not, you won't.  Nothing wrong with it, either way.  Just another sexual preference that should be respected, like it or not.

Sans anal, of course.  Besides, the taste of a pussy stimulates my saliva glands.  Not too hard to naturally moisten things up without spitting.

If you find it really gross and a turnoff, perhaps consider having sex in a hermetically sealed body suit.

It's sex, dude.  You're gonna get intimate.  If you can't handle spit, then what are you gonna do if the girl comes on your face?

A little bit of saliva to help and discreetly added is possibly okay for some. I think those of us that are adverse to the act of spitting...you know hawking it up and plllooooppppp on to a body part are the ones that are voicing said aversion.

A girl spitting on my cock as she works it in to lube it up before she takes it inside is not a turnoff to me at all.

I meant the one where you work up the spit and get the stuff at the back of your throat to help lubricate. Okay, you don't mind if a girl dribbles spit or even forcibly spits on your wee wee. You are in the group that doesn't mind it.

CIM and CIF is perfectly acceptable by male or female partners.   Just don't lick my face or spit, pee or poop on me.  A girl has to have some limits. : )

It is a fact.  It has enzymes in it. It is the beginning of the digestive process right after biting and chewing. So, it lends to reason that it could damage a single cell, thus interfering with transmission.
From thebody.com:  " Saliva contains enzymes that break down the virus"  referring to HIV.
On the other hand, there are other STIs that can be spread by spit, too.

Smoke break is over...back to work  :D

Just curious if the general spit preference also applies for non-hobby lubing with the SO.  Assuming that no condom is used, skillfully chosen oil-based lubes can combine massage and sex very romantically.  Plus, many older women just cannot produce natural lube sufficient for intercourse and something must be used.  I find spit, or water-based lubes, to be far inferior to good oil lubes if I don't have to worry about damaging a condom.  Just some thoughts.

But I sure can see the advantage when a condom is not needed. I guess for extra slip, a silicone based one is good. Condom friendly and last longer than water based.

organic coconut oil is marvelous. Very slippery, easily does double duty as lube and massage oil without leaving that overly 'greasy' feeling residue some oils do, makes your skin super soft, tastes good, and even has natural antiviral/antibacterial properties.

Not good for condoms, obviously. But, condom breakage is not a concern, for me.....:)

I am posting this as a non-provider.  I was with someone more than a year ago who spit on me and then in the last few months saw an increase in this behavior in the porn industry - which prompted me to start the post.

My partner and I use an oil based lube for anal play and hand jobs.  However I think I will also incorporate it in BBBJ after he has covered sex with a provider.  I hate the taste left behind when he takes the cover off and oil based products usually have a nice flavor.

It dries up to where lube keeps things nice and slippy
