Question:

Recently, I have been experiencing vaginal dryness during intercourse. I’m considering the usage of lubricants. What are the types I should look for? My partner uses condom and I heard that using Vaseline can damage it. Is this true?

Dry Spell, Cheras

Answer:

Vaginal dryness dampens sexual intercourse both for the woman and her partner since rubbing of sensitive dry skin brings pain and not pleasure. If the vagina is dry the chances are the woman is not fully aroused and if penetration is done a little bit too early then there is sexual displeasure. This needs to be rectified and the woman needs to indicate to her partner to penetrate once she is fully aroused and wet. Of course using vaginal lubricants help in facilitating sexual intercourse but may interfere with sperm viability.Waterbase lubricants are recommended since it is washable and not messy unlike oil based lubricant like Vaseline or petrolatum jelly and of course condoms do not do well with oil based lubricants since it can interfere with the integrity of the condom. The condom can break even under light pressure! The ESP Lubricating Gels would be a solution for you. It is close to nature!
