Is it safe to use lotion on the penis?
Here's my story: I'm an 18-year-old male and I masturbate quite often. This morning I was in the shower and had the urge to masturbate, and mistakenly used soap as a lubricant (yes, I know that's a bad idea now, I learned it the hard way, but I didn't come here to get reprimanded for that so no comments on that. It already happened, correcting me after the fact does no good). So naturally it's dry as you would expect, and I read that this can also cause a rash which I want to avoid. Is it safe, or even a good idea to use a bit of lotion on it?
For future experiences, purchase a lubricant one that isn't petrolium based, water based is the best. Lubricants work much better and if you're inclined to masturbate in the shower use a silicone lubricant.
It's not harmful, just make sure to keep it away from the meatus (hole).

What Will happen if you dont?
It might enter, which might cause pain in your abdomen, and a red swollen at the tip of your penis. Lotion is good for skin, but it should not be inside of the body, especially sensitive parts like the penis.
Well first off, if you put lotion on the meatus, you might develop a rash or make the tip of your penis swollen. Secondly, the lotion may get sucked in, which isn’t a good thing for sure. If this happens, call an healthcare professional.
Use some Johnsons baby lotion (They use it for nappy rash) but its a good moisturiser for people with sensitive skin :) I've use it so it should be fine.
