Is there any product to keep hoses from sticking to barbs

I have never see or heard of this but is there anything like antisieze you can put on water hoses and or oil/ fuel hoses to help make the hose come off in the future

Sometimes they almost feel like they glue themselves on barbs.

Wonder if tire shop bead sealer would help? It's rubbery and peel-offable (new word) but I don't know about the chemical reaction part.

Mostly I just deal with it..

Do you have hose grip pliers? Worth the $.

I have used RTV silicone before. It would help keep the hose from getting TOO stuck = they were easier to get off.
The PIA came when I had to clean the old silicone off to put the new hose on. Now, I just smooth the sharp barbs down some, or just buy the smoother 'bulb' end fittings when I can. Below are chromed brass, aluminum, and steel examples.
