Hello
I have been with my boyfriend for about 7 yrs and everytime we want to have sex I lubricate, when it comes for the action part I'm all dried up and it pisses me off. I was with somebody else and I lubricate LIKE CRAZY. I DO THE SAME THINGS WITH MY BOYFRIEND AND BETTER AND IT DOESN'T WORK. PLEASE HELP!! WHAT CAN I DO

Welcome to the board latingrl. If you are having the same type of foreplay and making sure that you are equally as aroused, then it could be hormonal. Also, are you on any kind of birth control or other medication now that you were not on before? Some types of medications cause dryness as a side effect. Have you tried using added lubrication?

Both caffeine and alcohol can cause problems with dryness. Also, I'm not sure of your age, but menopausal symptoms can begin as many as 6 years before menopause -- and menopause can cause big problems with dryness.

Here's what an article on iVillage lists as negative effects of caffeine:

In high doses, caffeine can cause:

* Rapid heartbeat
* Irritability
* Insomnia
* Anxiety and nervousness
* Dehydration from diuresis (that irksome need to pee in large quantities)
* Indigestion
* Lack of concentration
* Muscle twitching

Here's a link to the complete article:

Also, a link about menopause (and a management plan):

And, I know this might sound gross, but if you don't want to have to get the lube, spit works wonders. My DH doesn't hesitate to use it, so I leave that up to him ;-)
