Dear Dr. Betty,

When I get aroused, I get EXTREMELY wet. This causes a huge problem: There just isn't enough friction for me or my boyfriend because of all the lubrication my vagina is creating!!! I have tried wiping every few minutes, but this can be awkward & its only dry for a few minutes.When I get aroused, I get EXTREMELY wet.

Now this problem only developed when I started seeing a different guy. I usually didn't have enough lube with my last partner...Everyone just tells me that I should count myself lucky to not be too dry....but not having that "tight" feeling is just as bad if not worse!

Now, I can actually prevent myself from getting too wet if I really concentrate on it. While this feels good for my boyfriend, I can't enjoy the sex myself because of all the concentration!! LOL

PLEASE HELP!!!

Dear S,

This problem of being too wet vaginally has come up before, so you are not alone. However, I've never heard of a woman who could stop this by mentally concentrating on it to not happen. Are you having your orgasms from vaginal penetration during intercourse? If not, one suggestion would be to concentrate on stopping the wetness for his orgasm, then have him focus on your clitoris with oral or manual sex for your orgasm. Taking turns during partnersex usually works best for both a man and woman.

I wonder if this has anything to do with diet? And I'm fascinated by the concept of controlling it mentally. Continue to mop it up and to experiment. Keep me posted.
