why does my vagina dry out during sexual intercourse?

Question

If during sex a guy is being too hard and not going slowly, is it more traumatic for thr vagina jf its not slow sexual intercourse.

Answer 1

Friction: It could be related to just the physical act of sex and the friction of the vaginal mucosa that makes you feel dry. This can also lead to the feeling that your vagina is swollen. Another factor could actually be the lubrication you are using. Mineral based lubricants are notorious for making you feel dry. Use water based!

Answer 2

Lack of lubricants: Normally, your vagina produces natural lubricant during sex in response to arousal. This process may be impaired due to a number of possible reasons. The easiest way to deal wiht this problem is to use lubricants designed for this purpose. However, you should also consider other reasons. No infection symptoms? Pain with sex? Psychologically prepared for sexual activity, etc.

Answer 3

Poor arousal: Poor arousal usual is the cause. Need to rule out other less common psychological, emotional or physical problems.

Answer 4

Get it checked.: Before telling your partner - get it checked out so that you know what it is. Don't sound the alarm until you know that the situation warrants it.

Answer 5

Chronic illness: This usually decreases your desire to have sex and your sex drive. This is due to central neural mechanisms.

Answer 6

Decreased energy: It takes a lot of energy to heal, so you may have less to give. This is normal. Desire for sex often decreases, and your own self-image may also be impacted. It's important not to judge yourself on this, and to give yourself time to feel better. At the same time, having sex is an important part of maintaining a healthy mind/body, so don't give it up entirely!

Answer 7

Maybe yes/no: Retirement helps to reduce the stress of a job but in itself brings new forms of stress. If a pt has erectile dysfunction caused by a medical structural problem it won't get better? I guess you will have more time available for sexuality?

Answer 8

Don't have to: Some people think you sperm count will be better but the main thing is you wnat to be doing it at the right time when she is ovulating.

Answer 9

Vaginal air bubbles: Sexual activity can sometimes cause air bubbles to collect in the vagina, which then are expelled during or after sex. It's not a problem and not unusual. Get your regular gyn checkup to be sure that is what it is.
