Mating Just Before Egg Laying; Lubrication?

Hi Dr. Sharpe,

I've noticed that it's not uncommon for a pair to mate shortly before the female lays an egg, and am wondering if that helps lubricate things making it easier for her to lay the egg - or if it's mostly coincidence. Thanks!

They just mate frequently during the breeding season, which helps insure the eggs get fertilized.
