What is the proper gay sex etiquette: Should lube be provided by the top or the bottom?

Then why do you have an industrial gallon drum of Vaseline next to the bed? I mean, if it wasn't half empty I might buy the part about your decorator selling you on the industrial look, but all those Hummel figurines in curio cabinets make me think otherwise.

OH! MY! GOD! Lladro really does make a penis pump!

I'm going to have to apologize to my aunt.

Dude, did you pay full price for it? Or is it the knock off from IKEA? Hmmmm, it says "Overtornea" on the bottom.

As a bossy bottom, I have strong preferences about lubes. Always bring mine when on the go and mt night stand is fully stocked when I host. When I bareback, it has to be the thickest and greasiest. The more the better. When using condoms it's silicone based, like Gun Oil or Swiss Army.

If it's spontaneous and by the pool, suntan lotion will do just fine.

As a top, I always have lube and condoms available, at home. When traveling for a fuck date, I bring them with me.

Be prepared.

If I host, I have condoms and a couple kinds of lube.

As a top, if I travel I always bring my preferred condom choice. If anal sex ends up being a possibility, I expect the guy bottoming to provide his preferred lube.

Whoever's hosting provides the accoutrements.

I once had a trick bring over a stick of crisco, he was bottoming and getting fisted.

It should be provided by the manager of the gas station.

I gotta do a little research on this one.

It should be provided by the bottom but a gentleman top will bring a backup.

If there is a possibility of sex, I bring my own lube and condoms. I'd hate to be in a situation where we're ready for action and no supplies are available. It happened once. Never again! To answer OP's question, there is no established etiquette for this situation. Everyone has made up their own rules in regards to their preferences.

As a top, the notion of me providing lube is preposterous. Shall I bring over the douching materials, too? I’ll be providing the hard dick and doing most of the work in bed; the bottom can handle the rest.

R11 sounds like a real prize.

A real princess, r11.

R11 Most Effeminate Top 2018

There is nothing effeminate about me. I’m robustly masculine.

R15 is a Gallant top.

R11 is a Goofus top.

Welcome to Datalounge, Mr. Tovey!

Thank you R17. You wouldn't happen to be a slightly fem and available total bottom by any chance?

Isn't it odd that this thread has 70% replies from top men. And yet we all know in the real world and on grindr 90% are bottoms

I doubt I am a "total" bottom, r19. If you don't plan to suck my cock, you can stay home.

Anyone ever seen a pump lube dispenser enclosed in a hand-crocheted (or otherwise custom-decorated) holder? Come on, DLers. At least one of you has something like that beside your bed. Fess up. Extra points if you provide a photo of your tasteful accessory.

R21 Oh I like a bossy bottom. Of course I will, as you desire.

Do you like sucking cock, r23?

Sure do. Why do you ask?

r25 Because you said you were looking for a "total" bottom. It is my understanding that "total" tops don't suck cock.

I like total bottoms. They know what they want and are good at it.

Most of the lube is usually applied on the anus so I'd say it's bottom's responsibility to bring it. Plus the lube is there to prevent the bottom from bleeding, not the top.

R11 Hard work? You can be replaced by one of 100000 sex toys provided on the market. Which also have the advantage of being always hard and never whiny.

I'm always vary of someone claiming to be a top though. If you won't bottom for me, then I won't bottom for you.

R20 I find this everyone-is-bottom idea slightly odd because most guys I met in real life were vers. Or at least they said so.
