It is not suggested to use coconut oil as a personal lubricant, as it may throw off the natural pH of the vagina, causing problems like a yeast infection. Since coconut oil is an antimicrobial, antiviral, and antibacterial, it can kill off natural protecting agents found in the vagina. Oil-based lubricants also increase the risk of condom-breakage, so stick with aloe-based or water-based lubricants to be totally safe.
