His and Her Health

I know the simple solution is lube, but I want it to be natural. It's very frustrating to have to fumble around for lube and have to add more. I don't understand what the problem is. Sometimes, when I am by myself, I get very wet when I masturbate, but sometimes I don't. I'm just dry. But when I'm with my boyfriend, I am hardly ever wet, and that just makes me even more aprehensive because all I think about is if he's thinking about how dry I am or if he is frustrated. I've read about drinking more water or soy milk, but I really don't know what the deal or cause is. It's not that I can't, I just don't and I don't know why.

Jenny.....it would help if you would post your age, as the remedy could be related to where you are in your life cycle.

Sorry. I am 29. Right now I am pregnant, and I read that the moisture would increase, but it hasn't. I don't remember when this problem started, but I haven't always had it. I have taken BCP's a few times, but not longer than three months at a time because I either wasn't sexually active or just didn't want the extra chemicals in my body, or just plain forgot to take them. The last contraceptive I used was the ring, and I even read that it would increase moisture, but all it did was give me yeast infections. I have to say that I'm not dry to the point of discomfort on a regular basis like I supsect women in menopause experience, I just don't usually get wet during sex or produce enough lubricant to either a)get inside or b) make the experience most enjoyable.

Ask your OB/GYN if you can use a lubricant that would be safe for your developing baby. Also the doctor would have the answer for why you are not lubricating naturally.
