You mean your father never taught you this trick?
Stick your dick in the socket. Turn on the power and you will ejaculate immediately. The s**en will lubricate the bulb.
WARNING: Never eat dill bread. It's made from Dill Dough !!!!

Your reading of the responses seems a lot different than mine.
Humbug. That is just a summary of your thinking and has nothing to do with the responses provided here. Electrocuted? About as much chance as having your car drive over you while you are driving. Possible but as unlikely as you winning the $340+million lottery.
Candle wax.
Hmmm...
Well, it sure seems like the OP does not actually have any problem whatsoever, other than a sort of feeling that maybe the contact could be better. The OP didn't say the bulbs burn out too fast, or get hotter than expected, or flicker, or get stuck in the sockets, or are hard for him to put in, or take out, or hum, or sometimes need wiggling, or make a scratching noise when installed that irritates his sensitive hears, or make keep him up at night worrying. In short, the OP made an observation, and wondered if it meant anything. From reading the responses, the answer seems to be "No, your observation means nothing." To wit:
If you put the wrong stuff on, the that is a hazard...
.... or just make your bulb not work:
Or as another poster puts it, after describing why in lubrication is called for in other harsh or extreme conditions (sign companies with hundreds of bulbs that stay in for years at a time)...
.... the lubricant won't necessarily give you better contact anyway, since it is non conductive. And again...
.... the wrong stuff could be a hazard, or...
.... cause problems later.
Or you could put in something not designed for 120V bulbs...
.... and just presumably take your chances that it won't be some kind of problem, all in order to solve a "corrosion" problem that the OP never indicated he even had (quite rough != corroded).
Or you could search for an expensive product ...
.... to replace something that is working, has probably worked for years for the OP, has no visible signs of trouble, and is commonplace in probably 99% of electrified homes on the planet.
