A member asked:

Why does my vagina get tighter while having sex when we use lubricants?is this allergic reaction? my vaginal walls tighten up and constrict sex.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Vaginal tissue: and vulva engorge and swell in response to sexual stimulation, this usually is a good thing, making your orgasm easier to achieve. If too tight use an oil based lubricant to keep things moving smoothly, water based lubricants don't last long enough.
