I do get aroused before sex, but for some reason I don't get very wet. I've heard that as women age their mucus membranes naturally dry out, but I'm 18 and I don't know why I'm having trouble. Someone told me that it could be the birth control that I'm on that's preventing me from getting wet. So when my boyfriend and I are having sex, he puts some of his saliva on the condom before, instead of a lubricant, is this safe? Should I just ask him to get lube instead?

It's safe to use saliva, but I think it would be easier on both of you, since you're having trouble, to just get some lube.

Try something else. KY is the best. His saliva can have bacteria in it. He could have an infection in his mouth or a bad tooth putting off bacteria. Some types of birth control can make you dry. I've found that baby oil isn't bad either but not to much. They do make condoms with lube already on them. Is he using dry ones? Go to a store and it's usually located in the pharmacy area. Good Luck.

ok its totally normal for us girls not to get very wet sometimes or most of the time. the saliva is safe as a matter of fact its like a natural lubricant. and just so you know the birth control pill i was taking made me get like this and there were time i didn't even feel like having sex so its normal girl no worries.

Birth controls make you seem dryer because they thicken mucus to help prevent sperm from going anywhere. Saliva isn't terrible, but lubricant would work much better and be cleanlier.
Use some lube during foreplay and then use pre-lubricated condoms.

Get lube. Lube is fun! Make sure it is compatible with the condom. It should say on the bottle.

There are germs in saliva and if you don't wash after, it can cause problems to you. I would buy condoms with lube already on them. That way it won't be weird when he is putting it on having to get a bottle of lube out.

Use lube. Astroglide is better than KY Jelly for many people. You can get it anywhere.
You'll both notice a considerable difference from the spit he is using and the lube.

Saliva can actually dry out your body, try buying some KY or another kind of latex safe lubricant.

I can't believe no one has suggested this yet.
Yes, saliva is okay. But don't put it on the condom...Apply Directly Girl! Ask that young man to kiss you where it's dry. That'll get you wet in more ways than one!
(To everyone else...I'm sure she knows where his mouth has been, he's her boyfriend, and she's been kissing him.)
