25 years old and I don't get wet.

[plain_table]

I am a 25-year-old, but during sex... I don't get wet. Even if I do, I get dry soon or after one session. --I have like 2 meals a day. I skip my milk every now and then. I study at night and sleep in the morning. --I do get turned on and I do like the guy. Foreplay lasts about 5 minutes or maximum 10. --I get drier even faster, if a condom is used. and I just got asked "if you want to have sex, why do you get dry?" The other day it burned like hell during entry. Wetness through self-stimulation (alone) takes a long time most of the times. Is something wrong with me?

This is not a reflection of your femininity or sexuality. Assuming your vagina is otherwise healthy and normal, this is either an unhappy physical characteristic or perhaps you are often dehydrated and should drink more fluids. Either way, if you keep a bottle of watery dollar store aloe here or coco-butter lotion around and use it liberally during foreplay down below and re-wet if you start getting dry, you should do OK. I add that it tastes mild during oral and mixes with whatever vaginal mucus you can work up. Don't let this bother you.

Thank you so much for your answer, information and advice. I really appreciate it. :)

There may be nothing wrong with you - some girls are just dryier than others, and have to use lube during sex. If this is the case, don't worry about it. Just make sure you keep some in the bedroom for when you need it.

You can always check with your GP that there is nothing wrong. I suspect you will be asked if you are just as dry when you masturbate, and what about if foreplay lasts longer than a measly 10 minutes. If you feel okay talking about such things with your doctor, you'll be fine.

Thank you for the answer. About some girls being drier, was new to me. Ah, lubes are tough to find in the stores here, sadly. Plus there's still this stigma attached to the topic of an unmarried woman having sex. So... Thank you again. Really appreciated :)

Every woman is different and some struggle with being "dry". you can talk to your doctor and get a prescription to help with vaginal dryness. there may even be some OTC stuff you can buy. of course use lots of lube (you already know that ;)...there isn't much of an answer I can give its just something some women struggle with just like some guys struggle with ED!

[plain_table]

Thank you so much. The thing is I hesitate to visit a doctor because of the stigma attached to an unmarried woman having sex. It's hard to get lube offline. I searched and waited for months and I finally got a lube (with glycerine, and parabens). But someday I'll gather my courage and visit a doc. Thank you ^_^

I go to a store in another city where I know there is no one there who knows me! then I can get condoms and lube and not have to worry! Next time you get lube get water based or something like KY it' works better!

[plain_table]

Yep, since I hardly get any lube here, I have found 3 Indian online retailers (a week ago) who sell really good water-based lubes. Planning to buy them. I sometimes do that too- I go to a supermarket (far off from where I live) where no one knows me to buy condoms. ^_^

I had a baby at 20 years old and never ever had issues getting wet at all before the baby. She’s 4 years old almost 5 this year and I’m still dryer than the Sahara desert & I can’t figure out why. I understand there’s lube and stuff but I hate that I’m this young and I’m already dealing with vaginal dryness. I got tested for all vitamin deficiencies and even my prolactin levels but everything is normal. I’ve talked to my dr and all she recommends is lube and it saddens me.

Go to your doctor. It's possible there is a medical condition. If not, women just have varying levels of lubrication.

If dryness is a problem, then use something as a lubricant. There's plenty out there.

[plain_table]

Thank you for the answer. I was hesitating to visit the doc for this, because of the stigma attached to unmarried women having getting into sexual relationships. I never knew that different women have different levels of lubrication, until I saw all of your answers. Tough to find a lubricant at the shops here, but I finally got one after a lot of search+wait. :)

Every woman is different. Some women need longer foreplay to wet (15, 20 min or more). Cunnilingus is especially good for foreplay. The vagina becomes wet before, than in any other way.

Thank you for this information. Really appreciated. :)

maybe you just aren't attracted to the guy..

[madhatters4]

"Wetness through self-stimulation (alone) takes a long time most of the times. " sounds like the issue isn't the guy necessarily

[plain_table]

Thank you for both of your answers. I really like the guy :) But I think he feels that I am not attracted to him, because of this...
