Why's my seatpost so tight to insert?

Trying to insert a seatpost into my frame, it goes in fine for the first 5-10cm but then gets mucho tighto and can't be pushed in any further. When I remove the seatpost it's coated with a thin layer of black sticky grease, guessing this might be the culprit? Do I need to clean the seattube out somehow, if so, what with?

cheers

edge of a steel ruler along the rear and hold up to light to see.

better bloody not be... it's titanium, so it'd be tough to do?

Is this a euphemism?

seriously laughing myself silly re-reading what I typed in light of this comment

If it is a euphemism, how'd you recommend I sort my issue?
