How common is the problem of insufficient lubrication?
1 of 5
Approximately 40 percent of individuals have reported to have suffered from inadequate lubrication problems during sexual activity. This is the second most common sexual activity affecting people after lack of sexual arousal. It is a physiological sign that a person is inadequately aroused. Without proper lubrication, sex can be a painful activity and therefore, it is important to deal with this issue at the earliest.
How is natural lubrication derived?
2 of 5
The natural lubricant in the human body is generated by blood plasma leakage which holds different blood cells in suspension. It is derived from the sudden rise in the blood to the vulva during the phase of sexual excitement. Bartholin s glands which are located around the opening of the genitals secrete mucus at the time of arousal. This lubrication is generally colorless and odorless, though it may vary from one person to another. If you are not getting enough lubrication, you can use personal lubricants available easily in the market.
Sensate focus is one of the best ways of dealing with insufficient lubrication.
3 of 5
Many people find that sensate focus is one of the most effective means of promoting sexual arousal and subsequent lubrication. Showcasing fake feelings of orgasm can only infuse feelings of disgust and magnify the problem to some extent. You can always experiment with different lubricating agents and apply them to ensure that intercourse is both fun and pleasurable.
There are various types of lubricants that can help in dealing with lubrication problems.
4 of 5
Some most common types of lubricants include silicone-based lubes, water-based lubes and oil-based lubricants. Most people use water-based lubricants which can easily dissolve in water and therefore, they are incompatible in showers and bathtubs. For these instances, oil-based lubes can be a good choice. Silicone-based lubricants tend to last longer as they are not absorbed by the skin. Oil based condoms can increase the risk of breaking or slipping off the condoms while having intercourse.
Treatment of lubrication issues in men mostly depend on its cause.
5 of 5
The treatment of the lubrication problems is entirely dependent on the cause of the dispute. For instance, if the individual is born with this problem, then improving on personal hygiene can help to a certain extent. Different over-the-counter creams can improve the condition with regular usage. If you are suffering from lubrication issues due to infections, it s crucial to treat them at first.
