Hi Pan.

Often sex activities will include some amount of sweat between the people involved as well as other body fluids (the more barriers, like condoms or dental dams that you use, the less you share those body fluids). It's great that in your own masturbation you're figuring out what is comfortable and pleasurable for you. I am not sure how effective sweat as lubricant between two people would be as sweat is known to get sticky, and additionally sharing body fluids increases your risk of STIs so we generally do not recommend that. That said, the way you talk to your partner and ask for consent to, for instance, touch them somewhere that they are actively sweating is up to the two (or more) of you.

Here's a primer on lube that I highly recommend! I know you said you know about other types of lube, but just in case you haven't seen it and would like more ideas: Lube 101: A Slick Little primer
