why am i producting very little self lubricant?

so my boyfriend and i do a lot of foreplay, and i've noticed that i'm not producing much self lubricant and it's one of the main reasons i don't want to go further and have sex with him.
am i not participating in the right foreplay activities? when we're doing foreplay, i feel extremely turned on but my vagina is dry (besides maybe some discharge)
can someone pls inform me on why i'm not producing much self lubricant, i feel like i'm not normal and getting some answers would really help. thank you:)

One thing that can dry you out is to self-consciously be monitoring your every bodily response as you do or don't have them (it makes you tend to not have them).  Don't have a little watcher in your mind critiquing your every bodily response and worrying about whether they are enough.  If you want to have sex (and if you are on birth control or always using condoms or both), just get some condom-friendly lube and have sex.  If you don't want to have sex, don't.  My suggestion is not to have sex until you can do it without obsessing over it.  In fact, the only reason to ever have sex is because you are really turned on.  Observing yourself and trying to determine whether you have adequate responses is a huge turnoff.
