Using lube is a-ok. It’s totally normal to experience dryness from time to time. There is this expectation in society that if you’re turned on you’ll have no trouble getting wet. Being dryer some days is seen as the female version of erectile dysfunction, and that’s seen as though there is something wrong, with you, or meaning that you’re not attracted to your partner enough. That’s simply not true: It’s not necessarily a reflection of your level of desire. Here are some reasons that some days you feel drier than others, even though you are totally turned on and gagging for it:
- You’re a little dehydrated
- You’re on a medication that dries the mucous membranes as a side effect (for example anti-histamines)
- You have a cold or minor infection
- You’re just before or after your period
- You need a little more foreplay before penetration
- You are pregnant
- You’re on a hormonal contraception
- You’re experiencing stress and anxiety in daily life
- You’re peri-menopausal or menopausal
- You’re using a soap or perfume you’re using is casing dryness (you shouldn’t be washing your inner labia or vagina with soap, or using any perfume down there, just water – soap is fine on your outer labia – the bit with your pubic hair!)
Why sex is better with lube:
- It enhances and prolongs pleasure – it doesn’t just ‘fix’ a ‘problem’
- Can make it easier to reach orgasm
- Can make sex last longer
- Makes for easier penetration
- Reduces micro tears and abrasions in the vaginal tissues, thereby reducing the number of opportunistic infections by organisms such as Candida spp and Gardnerella (also STIs)
- Can reduce painful penetration
Its a very simple and effective way to immediately improve sex, but its gotta be a good quality lube with good quality ingredients and properties, that suitable for your needs.
