Dear Hot Stuff,

My girlfriend and I are used to having great, great sex and a lot of it. But recently she's been having some problems getting excited. Physically I mean. I'm sad; I hope it's not because of me but obviously I can't stop thinking that it is. What do you think?

Alexandra, Manchester
 

Dear Moist in Manchester,

Wetness, wetness, where for art thou wetness?

Wonderful stuff, isn't it? Some women have too much of it. Some women have too little. Where does it come from, where does it go? How come sometimes it arrives in a flash, a mere kiss on the lips enough to spark a veritable deluge down below. How come sometimes it can be so illusive, both parties naked as babies and not a drop…

It's a slippy issue.

Many factors can contribute to arousal problems Moist, but I think there is very little risk that you are the cause. If you have already had successful, fabulous dripping-wet-through sex, there is no reason to believe your girlfriend's dry patch has your name on it.

From stress and fatigue to infections and allergic reactions; there's a wide and exotic variety of reasons why one might experience problems with wet. The solutions are just as diverse-anything from a good night's sleep to medical cream to a decent lube could provide the answer…

But tell me Moist, how has your girlfriend reacted to the issue, is she mortified with embarrassment or more don't carish? She should be neither. Arousal issues are common and many women have experienced and will experience them at some point, so no need to be shy. On the other end of the spectrum, she needs to care, wetness is healthy and an absence of wet may indicate a, possibly serious, medical issue.

If she's still up for sex, try a high quality lube (available from the DIVA Direct website…) Here's a handy link! Hot ones, tickly ones, cold ones, gosh, they do things that traditional wet can't even dream of!

Make sure that whatever happens Moist, your girlfriend figures the problem out as soon as possible before resentment, misunderstanding and frustration kick in for both of you. Before sex (and your relationship,) drip, drip, drip slowly away…
