Ive got a question!?!? I cant seem to get wet during sex and im tired of using lube… is there anything i can do to help???
Hey Marie,
You are not alone when it comes to being dry during sex. Getting wet/lubricated begins when your hormones tell your brain your that you are getting sexually aroused thus preparing your clitoris and vagina.
What happens then is that your inner and outer lips of your vagina swell. The walls of your vagina and vagina lips have glands that then secrete liquid to allow for penetration.
If this has been a prolonged issues, which it sounds like as you want to stop using lubrication you may have a hormonal imbalance. This is not professional advice, you should seek out a doctors opinion.
We did a show, Sex Hurts – https://www.oneextraordinarymarriage.com/171-sex-hurts, that may be of interest to you as we give a number of things to consider in these situations.
Blessings.
Fish oil. It will do the trick. Try it and you will be amazed how wet you will be.
Hi Cindy…
Does fish oil come in a form of capsules or is it literally oil and where can I find it? In a pharmacy? I’ve been experiencing vaginal dryness quiet a lot in the past year and I’m only 21.
I don’t know anything about your medical condition. But, I have done a little home work on fish oils. And, I would highly recommend this product. http://www.greenpasture.org/public/Products/CodLiverOil/
It is the one I’ve found to be the closest to it’s original state.
Could be hormonal but in the meantime, use olive oil. Only need to apply it once down there and you stay moist. Been an amazing find for me.
Sex drive has been on the decline for two years now. Im 30 yrs. old an my sex drive use to be really high but all of a sudden her SEXDRIVE out the roof an Im either to tired or can stay FULLY HARD ENOUGH TO THE MAX LIKE I STARTED. HELP………
HI, I read what you wrote and can relate to it my self, I am 30 aswell.
I was panicking its something that made me feel less of a man and I needed it fixed asap.
I saw a very very good naturopath his not one of those at the shops or just out there to make money but to help people… he explained to me everything in simple English and I believed him but wasn’t convinced. but as this article explained which vitamins minerals are needed he basically named a few of them aswell.. so I did try them, minerals vit C and magnesium are so important to the body almost for every function you need those. and since the food is becoming less nutritious we need to eat 5 times more to get the same levels as 5-10 years ago.. so I took tablets not only did it fix the problem I didn’t get sick anymore, energy levels skyrocketed, body recovered a lot better then before… life was real good… depending how deficient you are and how much you take will result how fast you recover I honestly just took double or triple what it said on pack as I felt I was falling apart and 1 tablet of each isn’t enough for me,… I feel great now and just want to say give it a go… your whole body will change and fix all issues doing this… has happened to me just by adding those 3-4 things into my diet…
So I have a couple problems that happen in the bedroom…
I just saw all the vitamins listed to help for certain things for guys cause my husband can’t finish the job unless he does it him self. Which is very frustrating especially when you are trying to have another baby.
Second thing I get so wet that he nor I can feel anything. And the mood has passed. Which then we go back to the first problem. And lastly I’m just not the type of person to start the “fun” and when I do it’s always the same thing I’ve expressed that I want to change things up, I give him ideas and still I get the same thing every time. So now we are at the point of our bed has a divided line down the middle. We are acting like roommates while raising a 2 year old. This goes on much further we won’t be making it at the marriage.
Hey,
Each of these need to be addressed together. It’s not an easy do this and everything is going to work situations though. Both of you need to make some adjustments inside and outside the bedroom at this time.
I would love to chat with you guys on a free 30-minute consultation call and discuss the biggest issue of these. If you are interested in do this please sign up and pick a time that fits your schedule. You can do that here, https://www.oneextraordinarymarriage.com/20minutes

About two weeks ago, I started mixing a little ascorbic acid (vit. c) into a glass of water twice a day because I had a cold. My sex drive has been through the roof for the last two weeks. I’m a 31 year old male that feels like I’m in my teens again sexually. I can’t think of what else may have changed over the last couple of weeks. But, I think I’ll be keeping up the vitamin C.
does this really work for women. I AM 54 years old don’t feel it don’t look it and used to love making love with my husband 32 years all the time and since meddapause that has not happened for a long time and it’s really interfering with our marriage I have been reading a lot of different things on the internet about how to increase libido not really sure what to believe but I’m game to try anything please get back with me I am up for anything Tank you so much!!

I was molested when I was a kid,I’m 35 and just now realizing everything that was done to me.I’ve told my fiance I don’t like porn.I have a major self image problem.he keeps sneaking around and trying to hide it.I find it all the time.my trust in him is gone.I can’t let myself go&he only lasts 3 seconds.I’m frustrated!!!
Thanks for the info, most helpful. Fyi though, in the paragraph regarding zinc; it is prostate not prostrate. As a preacher i teach that people have a “prostrate” problem when they don’t pray!
I have aquestion whenever iam on bed with ma wife having sex ido it for 4min.iam sick or what is wrong? Am 30 yrs.
Hey Isaac,
In addition to these you may need to work on your technique to help you extend your sexual pleasure. Check out the Ejaculation Trainer, https://www.oneextraordinarymarriage.com/pe, to learn more about ways that you can do this.
I have a question. I don’t know if you aware of the effects of the depo Provera shot. Which is basically low sex drive, severe dryness, and greatly messes with your estrogen/testosterones levels. I’m currently in the search to get this poison out of my system. I’m only 25 and never have had this problem Before the shot i recieved January 12. Sadly I’m learning I’ll just have to wait it out for maybe 8 months, but with the suggestion vitamins and minerals described do you think there is any help at all? Maybe a reverse effect or just will it fight it on general? I’m desperate for answers because unfortunately many women are too embarrassed to ask about their genitals not working right for about a year?
The best way for guys to get Vitamins B5, C and D directly into their penis skin is through the use of a penis health creme. Since this creme will be applied to the penis every day, it will receive the maximum amount of benefit. Much more effective than taking an oral supplement. Hope this helps some of you out there.
Quick question. I am 25 years old and I am currently on a birth control. I have had a low sex drive for about 2-3 years now and I want it fixed. I have tried changing my birth control multiply times but nothing works. What can I do? Please help.
Christina, birth control can impact your libido. Due to all the hormones and how they alter your natural levels. It would be best to talk to your doctor about this and to see if there are other alternatives that you can use.
