Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Coconut is a good oil for lubrication during unprotected sex but should not be used with a condom. It can make condoms less effective and also cause condom break. Otherwise it is a good natural lubricant and will decrease friction between the penis and vagina. It will not affect pregnancy but please use little quantity on penis enough to make the skin smooth and do not pour over the vagina.
