Strange and embarrassing question?

I am a woman in my late 20's. I have a really strange and embarrassing problem and I'm hoping someone can help me. During sex and when I have an orgasm, my cum seems to dry up very fast and feels like sand, I can actually brush it off the bed. It's very embarrassing to me and has lowered my sexual drive. If anyone knows why this could be happening or how to prevent it I would greatly appreciate the feedback.

Thanks.

Hi kami_mae, welcome!

I haven't heard of your problem, exactly. I know my or my partner's fluids will sometimes dry on our bodies as we snuggle and nap after IC. And the residue will peel or flake off when we begin to move around. You might want to ask you doctor if s/he is familiar with your symptoms. Let us know what s/he says, ok?

Hugs,

      Jill

I'm familiar with your "problem" and I don't think it's a problem at all. When we exchange bodily fluids chemical reactions occurr, and just like semen coagulates as it is expelled outside the body, our own fluids can thicken and even dry up quickly. Although I don't experience the "sand" effect you describe, a while after I have sex I often "brush off" the dry fluids from my bed or even the area around my vagina. If you're really concerned about your problem or it causes discomfort you should ask your OB-GYN just in case.

I hope this helps.
