I've been hearing lots of women talk about how they have a good deal of discharge from their cunts, and I've been just recently realizing that I don't have much at all. When my boyfriend and I have sex, it's sometimes extremely dry. I've been taking allergy medication for a long time. Could this have an effect on it? If so, what can I do to increase the amount of discharge I produce? (not-taking the medication isn't really an option)

thanks,
Jenni

Yes, allergy medication can be related to a lack of lubrication. I know I can't give my Zyrtec up either-if I do, my asthma goes nuts. I notice the dryness more in my eyes, and with my contact lenses than I do vaginally, but it's all related.

What I forgot in my last comment was two things...one is to use lube during intercourse if you're finding the dryness bothers you, and the second is make sure you're well hydrated in general-are you drinking enough water?

hm. i think so. maybe?

It makes a huge difference in how I feel in general, although I admit, I haven't really been conscious about what it does for my vaginal lubrication.

I try and get two liters of non-caffeinated, non-sugar sweetened liquid in my body per day. That includes the tea I sometimes drink in the morning, my juice at lunch, etc.

Any decongestant or anti-histamine can have similar effects. It dries up the tender bits -- sinuses, inside the mouth, and by extension, the vulva and vagina. As well as using lube, drink plenty and plenty of water.
