Question: During the early stages of intercourse I am very lubricated but in the middle and towards the end I tend to dry out a bit. No matter how hard I fantasize I can't seem to get lubricated again. What's the problem?

Answer: Vaginal lubrication occurs as the result of increased blood flow in the walls of the vagina. A decrease in lubrication could indicate a decrease in sexual arousal. Are you caressing your clitoris during intercourse? It may be that vaginal stimulation alone may not be sufficient to keep you sexually aroused, this is normal and common. If you are bored by intercourse even fantasy may not be enough to keep you aroused. Some women also have a limited amount of lubricant they can produce.

You should acquire some water-based lubricant and apply a generous amount, even if you are naturally very wet in the beginning. Incorporate the use of it into your sexual activities. Allow you partner to apply and massage it into your vulva and vagina. Make it fun.

Do not continue to have intercourse if it starts to become uncomfortable or is painful. You may learn to avoid sex and intercourse all together. Sex should be enjoyable, if it isn't, something is wrong.
