My lotion (Lubriderm Advanced Therapy) has, in bold letters on the back, this message:
For external use only.
I guess I can only think of a couple internal uses that people might be contemplating. I wonder what the danger is... overmoisturizing? Whenever I see instructions and warnings like that, I always want to know why. Sometimes it's obvious (do not put Listerine into eyes), but in this case, it's not.

Because some horny idiot in a pinch has undoubtedly tried to use the stuff for anal sex in the past, that's probably why. :-P
(To which I would say, wrong aisle, moron. Any drugstore on the planet is bound to carry KY and Astroglide ...)
And, having never applied copious amounts of lotion in that general region, I must still wonder... what terrible thing happens when you try it?
Well, like you, I wouldn't know from experience either, but I would have to guess that one likely possible result (for the receptive partner, at least) would be a nasty and rather intractable case of diarrhea. A lot of lotions are oil-based, and if they were put to that use, I would think the effect would be something like an enema -- but considering the differences in formulation between enemas and lotions, God only knows what could happen.
I shudder to think what could happen to the insertive partner. All kinds of things can enter the male urethra during sex -- that's how gonorrhea and chlamydia are transmitted, just to name two -- and getting an oil-based skin lotion up in there would have to be unpleasant to say the least.
As I alluded to in my first comment, that's why a dedicated lubricant such as Astroglide should be used. Those are water-based, and since water naturally occurs all throughout the body, one does not run into the problems of oil-based products.
WOW that's descriptive.
Okay, yeah, diarrhea is the main side effect I was imagining, but you make a very clear case for other more horrible things. Then again, if you're in such a rush for sex that you grab the Lubriderm Advanced Therapy, I imagine that you're not paying too much attention to the warnings on the back of the bottle.
