I have recently began a serious relationship about a month and a half ago. He is not my first sexual partner but we do have frequent intercourse. I've noticed vaginal dryness before but because the sex wasnt so frequent it wasnt a concern of mine. Now that I am having intercourse more often, I notice it more. I dont get "wet" during foreplay and have to use lubrication during sex. Once the intial start is done, i then become wet and we have no problem...its strange. Im 21 years old and engaged to be married in August and dont want this problem anymore, ecspecially on our honeymoon!!!!!!!! Any suggestions or maybe should I see a doctor? Could it be because of the LEEP procedure I had when I was 16..... ????? HELP!!!!!!!

For having sex frequent I think it's normal for you to not get wet with foreplay. Can't give any suggestions because I don't get wet neither with foreplay (but I get aroused) and it presents no problem with sex for me. Once it's first thrust is all good and sex is very enjoyable. I have never seeing that as a problem actually. What I can tell is that I used OTC birthc control pill before and that one caused me vaginal dryness and now I use microgestin pill and this one increases the vaginal fluids. So don't stress over it, worrying will make it all worse.

Birth control can definitely be the cause. That is very common. If you are not on a hormonal birth control, than it could be a problem... are you so dry that it hurts to have sex?

If it is true that you are just mildly dry- that is, like you said, once he's in it's ok, then it might just be normal for you. People have different levels of lubrication. I use lube quite often when I have sex because I just don't get that wet. However, it could indicate hormonal imbalances or something... it is worth getting checked out. Especially if it causes discomfort during sex.

Random thought... you just starting dating a month and a half ago and you're engaged? He must be really good in bed.... j/k

Congrats
