I hate to tell you but there is no such thing as excess vaginal wetness during intercourse. That is something very desired by most women. That is there so that you vagina is well lubricated and you don't get hurt when the penis enters you. If you don't have an infection as far as the smell goes, then you may just have to take a bath after you sweat if you don't like the smell.

I know iI am glad for the wetness bcuz I hear there are ppl who cant get wet but it just is bad when my bf is going "downtown" and I am leaking so much , and the smell I am not sure it doesnt happen alot just mabey before my period so mabey ovulation stuff ??? I do not duche my dr said there is no need to the body will do its own cleaning and duching causes infections but I may just start with water ones and see what happens thanks

If it is when your boyfriend is going down on you orally and you don't like the leaking, you can always put a tampon in to catch it. However, I would say its nothing to be embarrassed about. Most guys probably like that, and if they don't they aren't worth it. People should accept you for who you are, and I personally think you are lucky to be able to get so wet!

Yeah there is such a thing as "too wet". Sometimes I get so wet, I can't feel much during sex, and neither can my boyfriend (and no, I am not loose, and he is pretty thick).

The "smell" you describe is probably due to changes in your cycle. I wouldn't worry about it unless you develop signs of infection. And if your bf doesn't complain, then you may be more aware of it than he is. Just a guess.

Actually that's true- when I use LOTS of lube (I always have to use some) I do feel less- less friction. But it's good for us, it takes him longer lol.

Don't get so worried it may just be a vaginal infection or a yeast infection. You can go to ur doctor and check or you can go to the store and get a vagisil screening kit. it tests the PH of ur vagina. There are some infections women get when they sweat and don't change, get wet and don't change, don't dry off completely when getting out the shower, or wearing tight clothes or panties that are not cotton. It is not sexually transmitted. The PH test is good because you see what ph ur urine is and u can change that with foods u eat. For example bacterial infections grow in acid, u can eat alkaline foods.

i feel wet all the time. its cool but its also lame because there is a smell from bein wet all the time. I think its just what collects on your underwear. I now use pantiliners all the time and it stops the smell(scented). As long as my underwear doesnt get wet it doesnt smell. But its still annoying. I get out of the shower, dry off, and then soon after Im wet again and theres that smell. I have been tested and I have no weird infections or diseases. Sooo... I dunno. But yeh my bf doesnt complain when he goes downtown and no one else smells it but me. The pantiliners help a lot though
