For massages we commonly use some special massage oils. As for lubes - there are so many purposed actually I personally prefer water-based for most of these things - intercourse, manual masturbation, playing with toys, nipple play, oral (if it's edible and tasty )... My partner also likes when I put nice slick lube all over my body and then rub my body against his
All of the above. I've used silicone lubricant for massage because if feels good, lubricant during intercourse always (my bits are not open for business without it), and lubricant for masturbation. It's good stuff!
Silicone for anal sex, but also for shaving my legs.
Water based for masturbation or intercourse.
Wax based for minty massages.
Oil based for shaving (occasionally!) and massages.
I've used lube for tons of things. Got something stuck? A little lube will quickly unstick it. Got a really rough patch of skin? Small dab of water based with lotion will help that out. Got a blister and don't have any bandages? Tiny bit of water based and you'll be rub free until you can get a banaid.
I've never actually used any before and want to know how different people put it to different uses... What do you like about it??

@kitty377 - You should always always use lube when putting something in your ass. Other times, it's optional. Only if you think it might make things feel smoother. If you produce enough of your own lubrication, then don't bother with lube.
Hardly ever. We usually don't need it and I hate the feeling it leaves behind. Yuck! I prefer using a professional massage lotion rather than lube mostly because lube leaves behind nasty residue that I can always feel. I hate it. I like massage oils when I'm in the mood for them, but never lube.
I'll use lube on my partner for handjobs/oral but we never need it for sex because I'm always naturally lubed up as is. Once in a blue moon we'll have anal and in that case we use silicone
