Anal sex without artificial lubricant has been used as a method of birth control (mostly in the peasant class) for unknown millennia. The implication is that the man is unsophisticated and uncaring and it’s a women’s secret to steer them to the don’t-get-pregnant hole and put up with it as being better than another child.
As mentioned, if neither partner is late-20th-century squeaky clean and the man is sufficiently aroused, the act wouldn’t exactly be lube-free.

Cite? (Only because that hasn’t been my experience)

Yep, I would figure size of relative parts and individual difference of secretion and preferences for foreplay vary and play a role. It is not a one-size-fits-all proposition plus there are many ways to skin a cat even if you are talking the Queen’s own missionary position.
Also as for the gentiles… do uncut penises require less lubricant for tight fits? Still… I think spit goes way back so to speak.
I’m probably old enough to be your father, which means my parents were old enough to be your Grandma and Grandpa. They used K-Y.
<shudder>
My grandpa just turned 93 the other day. I’ll make sure to ask him next time I visit. Shall I also ask the last time he had sex? 
I predict the answer is 87% likely to be “Hopefully not yet!”
Apparently in Asia, this was used:
Grind it up, and it’s known as “tororo” in Japanese: slippery white slime eaten in various ways. If you’ve ever had it (and I have many times, I lived there 8 years), then you can see how it would make great sex lube.
Vaseline, according to a randy grandma in one Xaviera H. issue.
There was a jar of Vaseline on my grandparents’ bedside table in the early 50’s. They would have been in their late 60’s.
I remember being curious about it but I don’t remember if I asked anyone why it was there. I also don’t know why I remember it. I must have thought it was an odd place to keep Vaseline. Not that I had a clue what Vaseline was for. I was 7 or 8 at the time.
Our grandparents didn’t have sex. Only in our decadent modern times did the wicked deed become prevalent. I blame the MTV
My experience has been my cite.
Other species seem to manage.
All of my experience has been with my own species.
My grandparents’ bedroom had a big jar of Hershey’s Kisses on the nightstand. Make of that what you will.
I can’t stand the smell of that stuff.
Doris Day has said that, at least in her earlier days, she would smear herself from head to toe with it once a week, to the point where she would sometimes slide out of bed, and this was why she looked so youthful.
Sadly all four of my Grandparents are no longer here. Secondly, my grandparents were of the generation that you did not ask these types of questions. Paternal grandfather would have chuckled and possibly answered, paternal Grandmother would have turned red and changed the subject quickly. Maternal Grandmother would have probably answered, maternal Grandfather would have made it quite clear that one does not concern themselves with another persons private life.
On a personal note, I would give all I have just to spend one more day with my maternal Grandfather. The questions I would ask him would be far more important than the one I posed here.
Fancy lubricant for vaginal sex - it’s an American thing, isn’t it?
In my experience over here in the Old World, foreplay and spit is all you really need.
I was just coming over to post that I was surprised the discussion had came this far without someone mentioning saliva.
Which came first, the lubricant or the ejaculate?
