I get too dry when having sex (note that I only have sex with a condom...)! I hate this! Is there any way to keep this from happening? Are we not taking enough time with foreplay, or what? Please help! It's uncomfortable when this happens and it's kind of a downer for my boyfriend when we have to stop. It ruins the awesome romantic mood.

It's called lubricant. You can get it at most drug stores/grocery stores and at all sex shops. Something like KY (sold at drug stores), or ForPlay (sold at sex shops). Try to get the ones with spermicide in them so that you don't have to worry so much about condom breakage.

Have fun!

Spermicide can also aggravate vaginal skin and cause a tendency toward yeast infections for some women. In addition, there's evidence that (for folks who are thinking about safer sex) the irritation it causes can make HIV easier to transmit. But it's a good tool for some women.

I adore lubes. I am 39 (today!) and getting dryer with age, so something like Astroglide or Liquid Silk makes me soooo much happier. :)

Yes, lubricant!

I like Astroglide. It's water based, so it won't harm condoms. It has a slightly sweet taste, so if I happen to get my mouth near something that has had it applied (Gosh, how would that happen?!) it's not nasty.

It comes in little bottles that are handy to put in your purse, and they don't cost very much.

You'll find them at your local drug store, near the other lubricants.

LUBE! you can find all different kinds. personally i despise astroglide because it tastes horrible! but you can buy flavorless or fruity flavors and such... personally i found one at a passion party that was condom compatible and tasted like mint.. so when applied gave you that tingly feeling as well. fun stuff! doens't have to be sad.. make it fun fun fun!

I've been having the same prob, for me it feels like I'm about to rip open tho, it's painful
I just went and bought some "wet" tho.
