Nice ideas, Aeneas.
Itching powder is one of my favourites too although I haven't tried incorporating it with petroleum jelly.
I think I would prefer something that WAS easier to clean off though. I have no wish enjoy lucy's discomfort for a while but then not be able to fuck her afterwards because the powder might rub off on me.
This is the same as when I have put ralgex on her anus. While it's wonderful to watch her squirm, it does preclude fucking for at least an hour.
