My boyfriend and I have been having sex for about 1 year now and I've never had a problem until this past month. I've been having dryiness during sex. It starts out fine but after a few minutes it starts to get dry and sore. Last month i went off the pill and we have been since using condoms? I'm only 21 and don't think this is normal, but am looking for some causes and some solutions. Thanks!

condoms blow...they totally dry you out. The lubrication on them wears off after the first 5 minutes, then its latex rubbing on skin. Ugh!
Im off the pill and my hub uses condoms. Have you tried to use the condoms made out of lamb skin? (creepy sounding, i know!) they only prevent pregnancy, not std's, they actually have 'holes' or 'pores' because they are a natural material. They smell better than other condoms too.
Actually, not everyone is as lubed up as a porn star, so that's why they make lube in different containers, flavors, etc. If the window is open and Im exposed, Ill dry up. You gotta get involved with lube, it makes all the differance with the condoms.

I would be willing to bet this is someting that has happend since not being on the pill. It may not be something wrong or bad as such, some people (me included) just have trouble staying lubricated, and when you were on the pill the hormones in the pill could have helped you stay lubricated. So this sounds like 'one of those things' that women have to put up with. But I am no expert so if you are still not sure maybe you should ask an expert.

It very likely could be a reaction to the condoms. You could try using KY jelly or something along those lines. Or it could be that you aren't getting enough lubrication of your own built up through foreplay (there really is a reason for it you know!). I use to have the same problem with a guy I dated and it wasn't until I started dating someone else who really put forth that effort that I realized the KY would have never been necessary if the ex hadn't just gone straight for it. That's just my opinion though.

Since he is wearing a condom, you are missing out on his natural lube adding to yours, and yours might not be enough on its own. Also you may be mildy allergic to the latex of the condoms - it's quite common. You may want to use some extra lube, or non-latex condoms (which are unfortunately rather expensive)

not to be offensive, but maybe you're not that into it? im just taking a guess here because you didnt mention if that had anything to do with it. i know that after a long time with the same person it can get a little boring and routine if u dont change it up a little bit.
otherwise, i wouldnt know. if you're worried about your hormones or something see a doc, but they usually dont have many answers when it comes to something like that. try using lube from the store.

use lube, astroglide is good, I'm fond of vagisil intimate lotion/lube(real slippery) and it doesn't have to be clinical or weird using it pour some in your hand and stroke him up, he'll dig it. then offer up the goods and get down with your bad selves
