low to no sex drive, can't get wet

By ashriver on May 12, 2012 at 12:26 PM

Im a 24 year old woman, and I cant recall one time i ever found myself horny, or craving sex like some of my lady friends. And i can't seem to figure out why. And not only that i can even get wet while doing it. Again, im a young woman that shouldn't be a problem, but I can't figure out what to do. I enjoy sex but I'm getting to the point of hating it because lubricants have to be used an go through all that trouble when really it shouldn't be an issue. Any suggestions on those two problems i'm having?

I'm a little confused by your question -- so you can't recall ever feeling horny or craving sex, but you do enjoy it? Is that once you get going? So do you eventually get mentally aroused, but not physiologically aroused in terms of lubrication? Are you able to have an orgasm? On the one hand, I would suggest that you talk to your gynecologist about your physiological symptoms and lack of arousal -- you could have low testosterone or some other hormonal balance, and that could also be causing your low desire. But a bigger question, are having the sorts of relationships/interactions with partners that you feel should be contributing to arousal? Are you currently in a relationship? If so, do you feel that you should want to have sex with that person, but don't want to? Do you "want to want" sex but just don't want it?

Ian raises some really great questions here, and once you let us know the answers to those questions, we can likely help you a lot more. There could be a medical issue going on, like Ian suggested (hormonal issue, testosterone, etc.), but some women just don't lubricate as much as others. Based on what you said, I'm wondering what it is you don't like about using the lube? I know of a lot of women who lubricate naturally, but still love using extra lube because of how much more pleasure it provides. Is it close by when you're having sex? Do you have it in a pump bottle to make it easier to access? There are things you can do to integrate lube into the sexual activity in a sexier way than having to fumble around and look for it! Get back to us about Ian's questions, and we'll see where we can direct you from there.
