Thread lubrication????

This concern is causing me to wake up in a cold sweat...
Now having experienced two threaded "tubes" that would not seperate without applying a secret technique I think "not again and in future threads will receive a good application of grease during assembly"..yeh right..great for putting bike parts together but grease and optics just is not a good idea.

Then I thought maybe take a pencil and rub over the thread...that could work???...however I must ask here..is that a good idea?

Playing with fittings on the RASA I get visions of something refusing to seperate and ...well it is too horrible to imagine...is a gentle application of graphite a solution and is there another precaution against the problem I envisage?
Thank you.
Alex
