The first edition of The Joy of Gay Sex, published in 1977, declared, “Vegetable shortening may be the best lubricant, since it is not only greasy but also digestible”.

In fact, Crisco was so synonymous with gay sex that discos and bars around the world took on the name, such as Crisco Disco in New York City, which was one of the premiere clubs during the 1970s and early 1980s. Other clubs or bathhouses, such as Club Z in Seattle, even featured murals with Crisco. Thus, Crisco was conversely also one of many things that led to the formation of gay identities during the 20th century.

Yet, it was also its oiliness that prohibited or no longer afforded its use during sex during the 1980s and after.
The discovery that the AIDS virus can be transmitted during sexual activity drastically changed people’s sexual practices, and the use of the condom increased strikingly, in a large part due to gay right activists and safe sex education.
... during the same time, it was learned that oil-based lubricants such as Crisco, petroleum jelly, and some hand lotions, weakened latex condoms thus increasing the chances of breakages and tears and the chance of infection. In fact, a study released in 1988, showed that as little as sixty seconds' exposure of commercial latex condoms to certain oils caused approximately 90% decrease in the strength of the condoms.
