Vaginal dryness (written by Shan & Claude)
Ask
Shannon & Claudette,
I have had a problem with vaginal dryness for the past year. When my
boyfriend and I are kissing and touching, I feel myself getting aroused, but I
hardly get wet at all. When he touches me it is uncomfortable because my
body is so dry, and that puts me out of the mood. We always have to use a
lot of lubricant http://www.howtohavegoodsex.com/sex_toy.htm
, and it is frustrating for me because we have to stop what we are doing and
spread on the goop. I never had this problem until I was on the
medication Paxil. I have been off of it for a year now, and I still have
not regained my normal sexual desire. I also wonder if I have
conditioned myself into not needing to be wet by using a vibrating massager.
I found I could orgasm with in 30 seconds or less with it, omitting foreplay and
arousal. I am 29 years old. I hope you can help me. Violet
Dear Violet,
We think that you have a lot of options. The medicine may have contributed
slightly to this, but you should have regained your normal sexual function by
now. We wouldn’t blame this on the vibrator either. Our guess is
that you need more pre-intercourse stimulation more build up more
excitement. Vaginal lubrication parallels a male getting an erect penis
the blood flows to the area. Without adequate time and stimulation a guy
may have time or be turned on enough to get hard and you may not have what you
need to get wet. If you continue to have problems we recommend you ask
your gynecologist. We believe that if you increase your excitement and
seduction there is a good chance you will get wetter. Shan & Claude
