Thank you ladies for the useful advice!
talk to you doc about getting your hormones checked...an imbalance could be to blame
Since you are so young, I would recommend a visit to your Gyno to find out what may be causing your "dry spells." Which, by the way, is a pretty common problem, but if this has been happening on and off for four years, it's time for a look see.
Vaginal dryness can happen for a number of reasons and I believe the two leading causes are a hormone imbalance and not enough foreplay to get you adequately lubricated.
I had a real problem with dryness as I approached and went through menopause. My husband found many good lubricants that weren't sticky at all. I also believe there are "natural" products available in health food stores and some good co-ops. I know this because one of my girlfriends is a Lolla Granola type and she won't even have sex if her husband erection isn't "organic." (Whatever THAT means. I was scared to ask)
I'm sure there is an answer and a solution to your "problem," so don't sit and worry about it.........get out there, get help, get it on.
Peace
