Hi 61382, welcome!

Many women would kill to have your problem. Are you on combined hormonal contraceptives? If you are the estrogen in them can cause increased wetness. A possible solution would be to switch to a pill with a smaller amount of estrogen or stronger progestin. If you aren't now on BCPs then starting might help your problem. If you intend to try using hormones to control your wetness you should know that dryness and reduced libido when on hormonal contraceptives are two of the major complaints of women taking them and can lead to other undesirable side effects. And, it is sometimes difficult to find the correct hormonal balance for the effect you want or need. You should have a long talk with your doctor and see what s/he advises. Let us know how you're doing, ok?

Good luck,

      Jill

I wouldn't want to reduce the wetness that's a good thing, you wouldn't want to be dry because sex would be painful, but I guess if you still want to reduce your own lubrication, I don't think it's possible.... Maybe I'm wrong

You would not want to. Lubrication is essential to avoid friction and potential damage. It's natural, just enjoy it.
