"personal lubricant" addition to allowable items

Ok, this is kind of a bizarre question, and I hope it isn't inappropriate to ask
in this forum.

I re-read the tsa.gov list of permitted/prohibited items. They have
added that one may carry up to 4 oz of a "personal lubricant". Do they
mean some kind of sex-lubricant, or would Curel hand-lotion be personal
enough? I suspect the former, but was hoping for the latter.

I think, also, that this is a very interesting thing to add to the list, considering
that in another discussion on FT, a man had his lubricated condoms
confiscated. Well, first I was thinking "who would need a sexual
lubricant in mid-air?" but then I realized that perhaps there are women
who experience dryness/symptoms that make such a product necessary
for general health.

Which brings us all back to the irritations we have around not bringing
our less-personal moisturizers aboard....

It occurred to me that the airlines could do like some gyms, and have
large dispensers of lotion, mouthwash, and Purell in the bathrooms...but
of course that costs $$$ for them.
