The Last Kiss by Anadah
The other day, I was talking with a close guy friend of mine about a recent sexual encounter he’d had with an old flame of his. It went from fooling around, to some awkward lubeless fingering with some intention for anal. My friend stopped the fun because the guy hadn’t trimmed his nails, and as I’d said, they didn’t have lube. My immediate response was, “Ohmygod, you need an emergency kit!” And in that moment, I knew precisely what every gay, bi or even, yes, straight man, bio or trans, needs to carry with him in the glove box, backpack, wherever.
The Man Kit
Storage
First and foremost, you need a place to put your things. I recommend the Hide ‘N’ Seek by For Your Nymphomation. It’s 6″ x 3.5″ x 2″, plenty big enough for the things you’ll be tucking inside.
Barriers
Gloves. These are a MUST. If you’re going to be having anal sex and aren’t certain your partner has trimmed his nails, and even if he has, you’re just better off with gloves. 
You’ll protect yourself from cuts from his fingers and bacteria from his skin. This becomes doubly important if he has open cuts on his fingers. I like the Black Dragon Latex Gloves from Babeland. I’ve bought them twice. They’re THAT good. Alternatively, if you’re allergic to latex, get the Blue Nitrile Gloves. The nice thing about the black latex ones, however, is that being black and latex, they’re really quite kinky, if you think about it.
Condoms. This is perhaps more a must than the gloves, because in a pinch, you can use a condom over your fingers if gloves aren’t available. Not sure what kind you like? Try a sampler pack. Early To Bed offers a nice sampler pack, and another in XL for the guy that has more to give. If you know what I mean. 
Buy one of both, keep them in your case. If you discover you like one in particular, stock up and stuff a few in the case to maintain your supply. You don’t ever want to be caught somewhere without a condom.
Lube
Another must. In an “emergency sex kit” (for those times when you’re having emergency sex) you’re going to want one that works for everything to save space in the case. 
If you’ve got a favorite, go with that. Buy a travel size. If you’re still searching for your favorite lube, try one of these. Astroglide is probably my favorite, water-based, glycerin and paraben free, condom compatible, and ultra-slick and non-greasy, non-sticky. When you’re done, it dries without a sticky residue. It’s also nice to slick up a handjob for something really special. If you prefer thicker lube, so that it stays put, try Maximus. This is water based and good for anal, and claims that it doesn’t dry sticky, but I’ve found that it does dry slightly tacky. If you’re wanting a silicone based lube that’ll stay slick longer, and that’ll make you look like a badass motherfucker when you whip it out (the lube, I mean), give Gun Oil a try. I’ve never tried it, but it’s thick and contains Vitamin E and Aloe, so it’ll actually nourish your skin while you’re getting down. It’s condom compatible, and according to Babeland, also good for handjobs. FTW.
Clean Up
So you’re done, and you want to leave. Or you’re done, and you want to roll over and not be sticky/lubey/covered in cum. Aight, then you need to pack some Afterglow Wipes. Pop for the box of twenty, you won’t regret it. They’re anti-bacterial and contain aloe, so they’ll clean you up and soothe your skin at the same time. Use them to clean up lingering lube or that impressive load you skillfully landed all over his chest. They can also be used to clean up toys, if you used toys, so that you can put them away clean.
A toy, perhaps?
Boys have sexy toys too, and if you don’t, you should. Maybe you won’t pack your strokers for romantic encounters, 
but it’s not out of the question to have a toy along for the ride. You can’t go wrong with anything by LELO. At the moment, they only offer two toys for men, but they’ll be changing that soon. The Bo is a rechargable cock ring. Slide the top off, plug it in to charge it, then slide it back on to the ring to turn it on. Bo comes with a small form fitted slightly translucent case to keep the top and bottom contained inside your bag, so it’s clean when you go for it. The ring part of the Bo is made of TPR, or Thermoplastic Rubber, not silicone, so while you likely could use silicone lube without trouble, you may want to use water-based lube to be sure not to damage it.
If you’d like to bring something that can, along with your gloved fingers, help prep you for some anal sex, try LELO’s Bob. They call it the gentleman’s plug, and it is very swank. 100% silicone means you can boil it to sterilize it, so you can safely share it if you’d like to. If you’re sharing mid-session, use a condom. Don’t use silicone lube with this silicone toy though, or you’ll have thrown money out the window when the surface of your toy starts to get tacky and gross.
Put it all together
These things all together are a bit pricey, so to get started you might try just the case ($20), an assortment of condoms (around $7), and some lube ($10-$20). For a start up of around $45, you’ve got all the basics that you’ll need for a night of getting down and dirty safely and enjoyably for everyone. You can add things here and there later on as you want to. By the way, I’m fairly sure you could fit everything into the case as long as you choose a travel sized lube (2 oz or so). Don’t hold me to it, though.
I’ve had the njoy Fun Wand for ages. It was one of the first toys I got for myself, back in college. My very first toy was a horrible soft plastic vibrating dong that I broke with use. Good riddence, those things are shit. I had a couple other crap toys, a big glittery jelly dong and one of those vibrators you plug into an iPod. I got a Hitachi. Then I got the Fun Wand. The Hitachi and the Fun Wand are the only ones I still have.
A non-sex-toy review! I just got myself an HP Mini Windows XP Edition, and it’s pretty darned sweet.
