  Following along, in the hopes a material scientist will give a detailed description of what makes a good lube for human activities.

    Exactly! Where are the people with relevant knowledge and the characteristic of overthinking things?

  No, snail mucin is very expensive and mostly used for skincare. It would be idiotic to pay that amount of money just for lube.

    Oh, I don’t mean that I’m planning to harvest the little fuckers in my garden. I’m just curious if the substance has any properties that would make it completely useless or dangerous.

    I was trying to wash it off my hands and noticed I had to give it a good scrub, but it was still slimy until it was all gone.

      It has been shown to reduce wrinkles and fade acne scars and such.

      I’m not sure about it’s effects when used on a mucus membrane like the vaginal walls.

  Wouldn’t that be very sticky?

    Do snails get stuck?

      Well, the continuously excreted more slime, so no. But any fresh sailtrail will be sticky at first, until it dries up and hardens.

  Research question 2: is it compatible with cow intestine condoms?

    Might give that a listen on a slow run on a wet day!

  I’d assume it’d be unhygienic, so if someone were to actually implement this idea, they’d have to sterilize it first.

    I figured that would go without saying
