Crisco
Definition
Crisco is originally an American vegetable shortening that is used in certain BDSM and fetish contexts as an improvised lubricant, particularly in fisting, fist fucking, and extreme stretching games. This refers to the product Crisco, which has been given an alternative use outside of its original food purpose.
Explanation of Crisco
Within BDSM, Crisco is mainly mentioned in historical and underground contexts, when specialized lubricants were still limited in availability. Its thick, greasy texture provided long-lasting lubrication and low friction, making it attractive for intense forms of penetration.
In some subcultures, Crisco gained an almost mythical status as an “old school” tool and is still mentioned in stories, fantasies, or as a reference to earlier SM practices. Its use is rarely aesthetic or sensual; rather, it is seen as functional, raw, and physical.
Today, Crisco is mainly discussed in serious BDSM education from a historical perspective or as an example of why knowledge, material development, and safety have become so important.
Safety & points of attention
Although Crisco has historically been used in certain BDSM practices, it is now strongly discouraged for use on or in the body. The product is not intended as a lubricant and has several risks.
Crisco can cause allergic reactions, especially in people who are sensitive to soy or other vegetable oils from which it is composed. In addition, it is not sterile and, when used internally, can disrupt the natural balance of mucous membranes, increasing the risk of infection.
Due to its greasy composition, Crisco remains in the body and on the skin for a long time, making it difficult to remove. This can cause irritation, clogged pores, and promote bacterial growth.
It also damages latex condoms and gloves, reducing or completely eliminating their protective effect.
In modern BDSM practice and education, it is therefore recommended to use only specially developed, body-safe lubricants that have been tested for skin and mucous membrane safety.
