How It All Started

I started Boy Butter in 2003 in NYC after an inspirational job at Nasty Pig, where I worked under the founders, David and Fred.

The name Boy Butter came from tweaking the euphemism "baby batter" as the perfect tongue-in-cheek name for a lube targeted at gay men. I wanted to create an oil-based cream lube and market it in fun packaging inspired by, well, butter. Boy Butter Original resembles actual butter, offering the longevity of silicone-based lubes while being washable with water alone. Initially, it was a hobby, but after seeing the potential, I decided to go full throttle.

I started out by roaming around Chelsea with a red wagon, passing out samples of Boy Butter to folks on the street, and sold it to adult shops door to door.

Over the past 20+ years, we’ve expanded our offerings to include innovative products like You'll Never Know it Isn't Boy Butter, a water-based and vitamin E hybrid formula, Boy Butter Clear, and Boy Butter Bonerz, our natural male enhancement supplements.

While my primary focus has always been gay men, I was thrilled to discover that a large segment of Boy Butter customers are women - everyone needs quality, fun lubricants. The Boy Butter brand is known by millions, and is regularly mentioned and featured on TV. I truly believe we’ve created some of the best lubricants on the market today.

Thank you for using Boy Butter, and try squeezing some Boy Butter into your tight agenda today!
