I know it couldnt be caused to either sex or birth control pills as i am still a virgin and dont take any form of birth control pill. I was wondering if i should see a doctor or if anyone else experiences this and if its normal?

That is perfectly normal and is telling you you are a healthy woman. The amount of vaginal discharge varies from one woman to another, no two women are the same!. The vaginal discharge which is a clear fluid will vary in consistancy and thickness according to the times of the month it can be thin and watery and quite a rush of fluid at once or thick and stringy the vaginal mucus plug will come away before you start your period . At other times depending on the woman she could be quite 'dry' or just quite wet inside all the time as is the case with myself just depends on the woman . You are very healthy dont worry about it . Woman approaching the menopause or the older woman most older women will need to put some form of lubrication or special peparation inside themselves simply because of the ageing process and approaching and after menopause the skin around the urethra is dry in thier case and the vaginal tissues can become very dry im sure that condition is called vaginal ATROPHY ..among other problems but that is why they are given HRT ect as well as for other reasons associated with old age .. so rejoice in your youth and be reassured your body is working exactly how it should be . Take care
