I don’t get wet anymore and it’s ruining my confidence

Has anyone else dealt with this? I almost never get wet, even when I’m turned on. This has been bothering me for a long time and I’m hoping someone here has experienced something similar. I’m 20, and I almost never get naturally wet during sex or foreplay. It doesn’t matter if I’m really attracted to my boyfriend or genuinely in the mood. Sometimes I really do want to have sex and I’m mentally into it but my body just doesn’t cooperate. We almost always have to use lube or spit. ( I know I know spit isn’t ideal ) What confuses me is that this wasn’t always the case. Before high school, I used to get really wet with no problem and for no apparent reason. Then sometime during high school it just changed and it’s been like that ever since. I’m not on any medications and I’m not taking birth control either. The weird part is that around ovulation I’ll sometimes notice clear slippery discharge when I wipe after using the bathroom. Seeing that actually makes me feel relieved because it showed me that my body is capable of producing lubrication. It just rarely happens when I’m actually being intimate. I’ve started wondering if something else could be going on. I can’t afford to see a gynecologist, so I’m hoping to hear from anyone who’s gone through this. Is there anything I can try at home? Has anything helped you? I’d really appreciate any advice or personal experiences. It’s been affecting my confidence. submitted by /u/No_Bat_2726 [link] [comments]
