It depends on what kind of gel it was. Chances are, aloe vera was just a minor ingredient in the lube your gf used. Pure aloe vera gel is not very gel-like. It is thicker than water, but about as useless as a jelq lube. This homebrew is for the purpose of avoiding dangerous ingredients, and nothing else. So that lube your girlfriend used probably has ingredients that would make it a poor jelq lube for long-term heavy usage.bjohnson123 said:LOL, a little off subject but just thought I'd mention it....my ex-girlfriend gave me a handjob using aloe vera gel as lube, it worked pretty well actually
