Hi! I'm new here and I really need some help! My hubby and I have been together for almost 7 years. Smile
Anyways I've always been dry from my vagina I really don't know why. Sad I have no STD's or anything I'm clean. He turns me on so much and I love him but i just don't get wet (I do get super aroused). We have used KY and I think im allergic to it because it really burned me so bad down there, and well condoms are just really uncomfortable and they start hurting me (because of my dryness). We always have to use saliva but im telling you, we use saliva about 15-20 times. :'( I dont know what else to do! My GYNO sayed that we need to do some foreplay or something but we've tried everything and nothing works! I swear last night I broke down in tears because I feel that I'm ruining everything for us. But I know I have a great hubby and he understands me, I just really need some help!! (P.S. I'm only 23) :'(

butterfly, It is just the way it is. Every woman is different. It might also change throughout your life.

There are many different personal lubricants. Water based lubricants can be reactivated with a few drops of water when it starts to dry and is very good all purpose lubricants.

Oil based lubricants are the cheapest but it does not work well with latex condoms and get sticky.

Silicone based lubricants are more expensive but very good. Keep it away from your silicone sex toys as it makes silicone sticky and soft.

Stay away from the warming or cooling lubricants, the 'his' and 'hers' that combines to give you an 'orgasmic explosion'. Also stay away from flavored lubes.

Many manufacturers make lubes in each category so read the label.

Then there is also PreSeed, the sperm friendly lube that are recommended when you are trying to conceive. It is less 'chemical' and more natural.

Best of luck!

I should also have added that there are many medicines that can also interfere with your arousal fluid quantity: Anti-histamines, anti-depressants and others, alcohol, smoking and caffeine.
