    Dryness problem... ugh!

    25 year old female and for the past few months I have had a dryness problem during "sexy time". I'm turned on and I will get slightly wet but it dries out quick. I used to NEVER have this problem. Also, when I do have regular amount of lubrication, sometimes its really sticky like glue. I imagine it is a hormone imbalance. Anyway, I'm so tired of this. I feel like less of a woman because my partner doesn't really enjoy my body anymore and has to pull out half way through and just stop. Any one have any similar stores?

    Are you on birth control? Sometimes that can cause vaginal dryness as well as other medications. I don't get super wet either so my fiance and I use lube. Personally, I'd prefer using lube anyway. Just works alot better in my opinion. This also allows for some extra fun, because there are warming lubes, tingling lubes, lubes that can be used for both sex and massage. It's not always a bad thing and honestly nothing to be embarassed about. You're not less of a woman at all and this is a very common thing.

      Thanks Lizzard!! I had been off my pills for a while and thats when the problem started happening so I should probably go back on them. In the meantime, I will try lube

        You can actually have quite a lot of fun experimenting with different lubes so don't be afraid to try all the different flavors. There is quite a noticeable difference between silicone and water-based lubricant too, so give both a try if you're the experimental type.

        Good luck

          Silicone is great for in the shower since it doesn't easily come off with just water but can be pretty greasy between the sheets! Water based lubes are great for having sex outside of water- I use KY Silk, its just a plain blue bottle, nothing fancy, but I feel it does the job, but we've also used the his & hers intense pleasure before and that's a warming and cooling effect all togther, it was kinda cool. They've got all kinds of things! Even flavored ones

            If you really want to 'get busy' with the lubes you can buy a disposable plastic bed sheet - mess not a problem!

            That silicone stuff is pretty slick, I believe it's the lube of choice for the boys, if you know what I mean.
