1. Assume the Position
While you may have enjoyed an active sex life and have a great partner who enjoys sex with you in all its glorious forms, you might find that when you think you're ready, you're vagina is saying "no." After the foreplay and the usual sexual banter, when you get ready for penetration, your partner may find it dry and hard to enter. Menopausal symptoms, hormones, medications and stress can cause vaginal dryness, but none of these reasons should curb your sexual appetite.
2. Juice it Up
Applying any number of sexual and personal lubricants can solve the problems associated with vaginal dryness quickly. Once inside you, your partner won't even know the difference because many of the products on the market today mimic the female moisture and provide enormous pleasure for both parties. Keep a towel nearby if it gets too messy, but don't be afraid to lube up both yourself and your partner.
3. Play it Safe
Stick with lubricants that are hypoallergenic and made for sexual use inside the body. Consider using a water based lubricant without any additional sugars, especially if you are sensitive or prone to yeast infections. If you use condoms, make sure to get lubricated ones that will not cause any further irritation to the sensitive vaginal walls. Don't give up the use of condoms if you are using them for protection just because you are a little dry. The lubricants work just as well over latex as they do on skin.
4. Go the Distance
Sometimes the sex is so good that your partner just wants to try every position and you find that you are wearing out, unable to keep providing the natural moisture for the marathon he is expecting. Instead of opting out and ending the great sex, take a break and add some of your own initiative to the games. Warming juices and lotions that cause a tingling effect are in ample supply at sex stores and can really add a touch of fun to the sex, while keeping you lubricated.
5. Change the Rules
If you don't want to rely on artificial lubricants to help make sex more comfortable, it may be time to have a down to earth talk with your partner. Maybe you're not getting enough foreplay to generate the moisture required for smooth penetration. Make your rules and stick by them. Only have sex when you feel in the mood and can relax enough and have enough time to orgasm and send out the fluids you need to enjoy the whole process.
