Of course we wish that everything works smoothly during sex. Unfortunately, vaginal dryness sometimes slows us down. Why is that so and what helps against it? We have the answers!
Sex is something wonderful. Assuming everything is working – in the truest sense of the word. However, if the vagina remains dry despite foreplay and excitement, it is doubly unpleasant for us women – physically as well as mentally. Anyone who has already experienced this, knows what is going through your head: What’s wrong with me? What is my partner thinking now? And will it be this way again next time? Fear of failure during sex are not just men’s business. One thing in advance: The problem is widespread. And contrary to the common assumption that vaginal dryness affects only menopausal women, many young women are affected as well. Mostly it is not talked about – the solution is quite simple. With lubricants from Durex the dry zone becomes quite easy and pleasant to the wetland. Nevertheless, we want to get to the bottom of the problem. The following causes can be responsible:
Hormone Pingpong
The female cycle is an interplay of hormones – with a sophisticated script. And that determines, among other things, how wet the vagina becomes during lovemaking. Hormones interfere with our bed stories. The birth of a child, lactation thereafter and of course the menopause decrease the estrogen level of the body – and this can reduce the production of vaginal fluid. If the desire for sex in these phases of life is generally hampered by other circumstances, we are even more on dry land.
Medi-Malheur
“For risks and side effects ask your doctor or pharmacist” – we all know this saying. But do we think of medication for vaginal dryness? Not really, but we should. Because even tablets & Co. lead in some cases to the problem. In particular, antihistamines that are prescribed for allergies can also disturb our sexual life. These meds can promote vaginal dryness.
Head carousel
Fear, stress, grief or aggression – these emotional lows can leave the Sunny Carefree in the rain rather quickly. And thereby dry the genital area. An emotional imbalance is like the fire extinguisher for blazing passion. We women can not turn the switch and be super excited, while chaos prevails in the head. It goes without saying that this can also affect the vaginal dryness. In addition, stress lowers our blood pressure and the production of moisture in the vagina. If we manage to take a break from everyday life, everything will flow in bed again.
Timing
The female body does not work like the starter on the car. But a quickie in between can be very exciting. But sometimes it just lacks the time for an extended foreplay. Then Gleitgel helps to bridge the initial phase – until everything runs by itself.
Mr. Wrong
Of course, the partner can also be a literally decisive reason for vaginal dryness. That sounds hard, but it is often the case. Maybe love has become a habit? Or are the needs of both partners different? Does it lack attractiveness or can one not smell the other? So many factors play a role when it comes to sexual arousal. If, despite adequate stimulation, it does not get going and the vagina stays dry, the partner may not be Mr. Right.
In general, vaginal dryness is really uncomfortable and even painful during sex – unless you use lubricants. The “lubricants” from Durex help if your fluid production does not start immediately. If you still have the impression that you are suffering from vaginal dryness almost all the time, you should address the subject at the next visit to the gynecologist to make sure.
