lubing
Slicking with oil
Lubing is the act of applying lubricant to something—machinery, tools, or body parts during sexual activity.
The word is informal and versatile: I spent the afternoon lubing the bike chain, The mechanic was lubing the hinges.
In sexual contexts, it refers to applying personal lubricant: lubing up before sex.
