Q. I read about coconut oil as a lubricant in the Whole Earth Catalog. Needless to say, that means I have been using it for years. My wife and I love it for general massage, more intimate massage, or simply dry skin.

A. The Whole Earth Catalog was legendary for providing practical advice and access to tools. It was first published in 1968.
We’re glad to learn that coconut oil has served you so well all these years. Other readers have suggested it for personal lubrication.
